So I got the gig at the Gorilla. I start 12/5, work for two weeks then get a 10-day paid vacation for the winter solstice celebration. Base salary is more than I was going to ask for, and I'm in a 15% (pro rated) bonus pool. (The hiring manager has worked there for 18 years and she says she's never...

Well, I know what I want for Christmas.

We had a check the other day in case there's an eruption. We have to order five days worth of food and water etc in case we get stuck at work. I was like omg if I were stuck with any of my bosses and then we got drunk that would be awesome. Except Is miss Kaiser. ..unless he was there too. It never ...

Then you don't get complain, per...you.

No I wrote someone in in protest, so I can complain about your **** ing stupid decisions. And you personally have probably made a lot.

bahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Christmas is Led Zeppelin. Thanksgiving is ..idk..whoever opened for Led Zeppelin.

They were called Taurus, and their guitar player wrote Stairway To Heaven.

Wow I was super spot on without knowing it.

Also I need to brush up on music history. I'm ashamed of myself.

quote="Shyster"] Well, what I think he's saying is that they have different experiences and world view due to a bunch of different factors where their thought process, though different than mine, is still logical to them. Even though it may seem illogical to me, to them it makes perfect sense bc th...

Growing up Thanksgiving was basically all the food from Christmas, no gifts, no church and maybe decorating before and after dinner (way after). The entire process for both is ritualized in our family. The food is the same process. The rest of course is different as we don't need to buy gifts for Th...

Makes me feel like I can't leave my children alone with them.... Probably come home saying the N word or something. Respectfully, the fact that you don't understand your parent's motivations for voting for Trump does not mean that your parents are operating out of malice, stupidity, or other illegi...

Is it weird that I think I'm doing something wrong if people are asking me how I'm doing things so quickly at work if I'm fairly confident I'm doing it correctly, just at a quick pace? I'm doing everything the way it was taught to me, but I can't help but think I'm overlooking something. I don't kn...

Tricky situation. The guy probably needs to be careful not to cross the line into harassment, although I sympathise if he has feelings for the girl and they aren't being reciprocated. I'm sure we've all been there at some point but he needs to move on. I agree whole heartedly. I hope boy co worker ...

Until today I used to get messages everyday from my friend who had been raped when she was younger. She would ask me why i don't plan to vote in this election and we would go back and forth. And then the other night I realized that she was scared for herself and for other women. She was scared for m...

I see that Cory Booker has been vetted by the Clinton Crime Family. This would please Mrs Tif, but as was noted his replacement to the Senate would be appointed by a Republican governor. That should be a non-starter. I just looked it up and it honestly broke my heart a little bit. WTF do the Clinto...

Idk how to say this without sounding crazy but with my new job we would be well within the margin of error to start a family and all I can think about is buying a house. Kaiser and I have always talked about somewhere away from the city secluded, with trees, a lake maybe, and SNOW. Kind of like wher...

Today my co workers were taking down our halloween decorations and I was like, "Oh, so does this mean that tomorrow we can put up holiday-" "NO!" Everyone at the same time. They didn't know If I meant Christmas or Thanksgiving. Actually as I type this I can hear my co worker saying, "We knew ;)" I'l...

I feel so relieved. At work 3 of us started eating lunch together with people joining in here and there. Then a fourth person was hired into the company and the 4 of us have lunch together. Sometimes we hang out after work and we text each other now and then too. It turns out that my friend( co work...

I'm something of a Halloween addict. As soon as the first pumpkins begin to appear in the waning days of August, I can feel the excitement building and, by the time the calendar flips to October, I can barely contain myself. This mania culminates with the Carving of the Pumpkins, a ritual that take...

I found out the person Im sitting next to at work is a huge Penguins fan. He is also cool in other ways.


I just hope he doesn't think in dumb or dull. I'm having anxiety about it.

Kaiser doesn't like playing Alien: Isolation and I'm way too scared to play it alone. Isolation is probably my third favorite game ever. But I could never play more than about 30 minutes at a clip. It is super intense.......! I'm still sort of recovering from that one time I was hiding in a locker ...

♤ wise

I started replaying RE4 when September started in spirit! Kaiser doesn't like playing Alien: Isolation and I'm way too scared to play it alone. Also I was waiting for Allison Road to come out. It was dropped by a video game developer called Team 17 and I think it's basically back to a crowd funding ...

Thats awesome lol. Where can one buy fondant?

I've seen it at Michaels if that is near you. Walmart etc. And there are recipes to make it online and youtube as well. I have never made it.

I've never cried hot tears of anger and hatred for a fake person before.

It was weird.

The actor who played the brother scared the skittles out of me during his special scene

It was restaurant week here. Co workers and I tried to book some but everything was booked. Lesson learned for next year. One of them suggested a restaurant but it was out of our price range.

$.45c wings here we come. ...next Tuesday.

Soooo I picked up Technical Analysis for Dummies. Dont know why but I'm scared.
