No, fuck YOU, it's FRIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Two of my friends used to get drunk on the weekends in residence and scream that back and forth at each other louder and louder until the RAs or worse came and stopped them.
Fuck both of you, I just punched out and am starting 7 days of paid vacation.

The chocolate used to cover Klondike Bars is surprisingly complex. Has a great smokey flavor that surprises me each time I've purchased one lately.

Man, what I wouldn't do...
About 15 seconds of work at my standard consulting rate.
That?

Depends, is it for love?
I paid a buck fiddy.
But Dollar General sells them one at a time, and is between my office and my favorite taqueria.
Well, convenience is worth paying for, sometimes.
The local Meijer gas station sells a gallon of milk for $2.49.
They sell the exact same gallon of milk inside their store (which is probably not even 100yds away) for $1.29.
That's quite a convenience tax.

So... not sure if this counts as a win or a rant, so once again it balances out at random crap.
I mentioned previously that my department members have been departing, but I managed to recruit enough replacements to make up the numbers. One person had unofficially handed in her notice (as in, "I'm planning on leaving soon, but not immediately, I'm just telling you this as a heads-up.") due to her dissatisfaction at the recent shakeups at our company. However, the issues caused by the shakeups were gradually fixed over the last month or so, so now she's decided she wants to stay.
That gets a bit awkward, because I recruited replacement editors on the assumption that she'd be leaving. I asked her today if she wants to stay, and she said yes, and I (like an idiot) basically said "Oh when you said you were quitting before, I started recruiting more actively, now I don't know if our department needs all these editors!"
So now she's a bit upset because she feels like I don't want her here any more, so she went to the company higher-ups to ask if there really is no place for her at our company any more, and the company higher-ups said no, I was mistaken, our company absolutely can accommodate and does need as many editors as we can get. So I think she's somewhat mollified now, and will probably be staying.
So, basically, the good: experienced editor is staying, plus we get to recruit the new editors I interviewed too. The bad: experienced editor might think I'm a dick. The ugly: I think I'm a dick!

Did she recently gain 100 pounds? Or have some sort of horribly disfiguring accident? Has she decdided on gender transformation surgery? I'm just trying to work out where, exactly, the parameters are where your natural hotness-repulsor-field is sufficiently counterbalanced, this topic needs further study but this could be an important data point.
I am also unaffected by this phenomenon. More study required.
PS study means drinking.
PPS more means hobos
PPPS required means rye
Is it a Twi'Lek?
He's hoping for a Sullustan.

I wish. No, just a guy with a much better attitude, more enthusiasm, and a stronger work ethic.
But I'll let you guys know if it turns out he fits a Star Wars trope
My guess is you'll find he takes a lot of Sith Days.But I'll let you guys know if it turns out he fits a Star Wars trope
Are you his father?[DOUBLEPOST=1498099809,1498099523][/DOUBLEPOST]So what I really came here to post!!
Randomness:
I bought and then assembled two flower towers full of petunias. I wonder sometimes if I'm losing my mind. My garden efforts are a bit over the top this year. I am home a lot though and able to get off the couch more than last year.
Our son got all lippy earlier and challenged me to a Pokémon battle in Sun and Moon. He went so far as to tell me exactly which sorts of Pokémon I could and couldn't bring and laid down some serious smack talk. I didn't let him win. I crushed him. Nothing outside the rules or anything, I've just somewhat obsessively bred and trained my Pokémon and after all the smack talk I decided to "really" battle lol. He was not impressed.

Lollipop? Is that the Taiwanese version of Kpop?
No it's slang for oral sex.Lollipop? Is that the Taiwanese version of Kpop?
What? Nooooooo!
Welp, there goes my childhood.
