Just wait until he starts dressing like Pepper.I just myself some Iron Man compression leggings for the gym! They look awesome and I can wait to wear them to kickboxing on Tuesday!
Related, Mr. Z finds them very sexy on me. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I guess I'll worry if he starts whispering "...Tony..." in my ear.
Not all that rare, our visits have probably not coincided.
It's not your visit that's rare, just its visibility.
I imagine your schedule has more in common with @Bubble181 's than the rest of us.

I get in to work last night, previous shift says there was smoke coming out of the router that provides front desk with internet. I confirm that router is DOA. Fortunately wi-fi is still up, so I am able to use my laptop to complete checking guests in and run the overnight paperwork.
Even more fortunately, I discover the front desk computer has wi-fi capability in addition to wired. Log onto Google to wake up that connection to the wifi, and front desk is back in business. Meaning I wouldn't be leaving them dead in the water when I went home and took my laptop with me.
Long story short, on one of the busiest weekends of the year, I wind up looking like a hero.

One man's 6am is another's 2pm.
Now maybe they will stop giving you grief about wearing a cape to work.I get in to work last night, previous shift says there was smoke coming out of the router that provides front desk with internet.

@DarkAudit is actually Captain Underpants?
You live in Canada and you don't recognize long johns when you see them?
My sister once chased my other sister around the house with a butcher knife trying to stab her because she borrowed one of her shirts without asking. Said butcher knife sister did this while wearing the others shirt without asking.

... wait what?
Autocorrect got me, fixed it for you.
I'm thinking there would be a net gain.
But you would get more scrutiny, and likely more strikes, as well.

None of my strikes have come from 3rd parties, they all happened from youtube's automatic processes. And really, they weren't "strikes" in that I'm not building toward a magic number that puts me "out." Instead, it just means I can't monetize the videos that youtube flags. I've never gotten one actually taken down.
Well, I take that back, some of the DAOC videos I posted years and years and years ago did get 3rd party "mute this"/forced audioswap notifications from everybody's favorite DMCA abuser, Warner Music Group.
Ah well. I'm pretty sure 90% or more of my current subscribers came for Space Engineers stuff, and I get the feeling that if I release too much non-SE content (or in any way let slip I'm pretty much done with SE), I'll see them all vanish overnight.
I'm grateful to have any Ommegang in town at all.
Ok, so most of you probably don't know I've been a bit of a slacker most of my life. High School I dragged my feet and made sure to just barely pass for most of my classes. Through my 20's I worked crap jobs and have a bizarre work history with nothing in common, first as a dishwasher then baker at a nursing home, then driving a shared ride taxi, working factory as a machine welder/press operator, forklift driver/etc, delivering papers, working as a custodian cleaning floors, and then working as a temp at a company doing crap accounting work (collections is frustrating, especially when your own team doesn't help much).
So imagine my surprise when I find out I'm not just a contender, but the front runner for a fantastic company willing to pay $3/hour more than I've ever made as a MINIMUM. The only thing which makes this a minor victory is the drive is an hour and I'd have to take the shared ride bus, which is fine but a lot of time commuting.
My best job has paid me $14.95. This job is posted as $18-$22 as a starting pay and the benefits are amazing. It's actual accounting, focusing on Accounts Payable and there isn't a problem with money as it's owned by a holding company.
This just might be too good to pass up.
