Do you like to do things at the last minute or do you prep in advance?
It totally has nothing to do with me forgetting to do the NOT while sick and then waking up just in time to hammer one out… Totally NOT AT ALL.
Otherwise, rant and rave to your heart’s content.
i make plans to do things at the last minute
its not fun unless theres at least moderate panic
soooo….theres a car outside my house…idling..occasionally flashing its high beams and honking at my neighbours car
im wondering if i should tell the driver hes waiting behind parked cars….or just assume its probably for the best hes going nowhere till he sobers up?
or don my lucha libre mask and scare the crap out of him….see what happens
I vote for the third option. Please capture video.
am trying to figure out how liable id be for possible damages
i dont have a ring door cam thing…..cant vouch for my neighbours…
dude is starting to annoy me tho…..
oh nevermind…he lost patience and overtook the parked cars…..as he didnt crash in my street im considering it no longer my problem now
I had a neighbor’s visitor do that (honking) at 3am in the morning on a hot summer evening during the time I lived with my parents (who didn’t believe in air conditioning) so it was pretty damn hot and the windows were open.
I was startled out of a miserable sleep and then the asshole (turned out it was his daughter’s fiance) laid on the horn one more time.
Did I mention that I have a hair trigger temper when jarred out of a sleep for stupid reasons?
I yelled out the window saying something to the affect of “you lay on that horn one more time and I’m going to come out there and jam it up your ass”.
My parents asked me later in the morning about who yelled at the guy who laid on the horn. I had to tell them it was me. Mom was upset because she didn’t like pissing off neighbors (ironic some 20+ years later when she and dad basically declared war on everyone living next to her) while dad just winked at me and said he’d help me if that happened again. (It did not, thankfully.)
I honestly don’t get people who think it’s a good idea to honk the horn in the middle of the night and not expect people to be pissed off…
i think people who honk in the middle of the night…dont do a lot of thinking….
I’ve been off this last week, and sort of absent-mindedly checked Slack today, to find a message from my CEO saying they have let my boss go and also the other writer we hired at the beginning of December. They are going to work with an outsourced marketing firm. However, they would like to continue their “employment association” with me. I immediately Slacked back and apologized for being on vacation. So I have a meeting on Monday to find out my fate. Bonus: I get to worry myself sick until then, and probably after.
Every time I go on vacation, bad shit happens.
Yikes! Best wishes.
good luck?
apologized for being on vacation is fucked up tho
you earned that time
💯 ☝️
I’m thinking if they were laying you off they’d have already shut down your access to Slack.
Yeah, that’s correct. The others who got let go are already deactivated. I checked. No, I’m going to be made some sort of offer. Whether or not it’s a good one remains to be seen. But whatever it is, it will at least buy me time. It’s just a shock. I liked my job. I liked my boss. I doubt that whatever is coming will be an improvement. But again, it buys me time.
This happened at my last job (boss got fired) and things didn’t ultimately end well (I eventually got fired too) so I need to keep my options and my eyes open. I really didn’t want to deal with this, but when do we ever get what we want?
They may want to promote you. That’s often a scary thing too.
I just had lunch with my sister who was talking about how she was promoted to management and didn’t get to do the things she enjoyed any more. A good bump in pay but not necessarily enough.
I didn’t used to, but now I generally plan ahead.
I plan ahead if it is something I want to do. If not, I wait until the last moment to do it or forget it or????
on an unrelated note but about Meg’s cheese cartoon. We had fondue on Xmas eve, cheese plate appetizers & lasagna for Xmas & leftovers after. We are now nogging after I made chicken Marsala & we still have a full chocolate haupia pie to go! I think I need a dairy intervention at this point!
