My dad is a relentless, relentless sharer of stuff of Facebook. If you guys think I'm a lefty, Jesus. Anyways, once in a while he lets his old man slip through and posts some millennials are too blame for this, or that or whatever old man yells at cloud thing millennials are too blame for now and it's almost a little comforting to know he can find time from being angry at the government here and being angry at Trump there to let a little old man mad at young people out.

Oddly enough, since youtube changed its layout AGAIN, it doesn't turn down winamp anymore.
He should just ask her out for a coffee date...
Heh heh heh heh heh
Did he manage to?
He's still trying to.
All we know is...
He's a vegetarian and she was working the sandwich station, so I got a free bacon English muffin sandwich, since he needed a reason to visit her station.
Going through an old storage bin of mine tonight.
Long story short: when we bugged out of our condo back in '11, we had a bunch of these generic plastic storage bins in the basement that were just sitting there, collecting dust - and I never got a chance to go through and toss most of the garbage out.
I found a few really weird things - my old LaCie hard drive (160 MB of storage!) manual; the user guide for a program that we are now phasing out at work (it was, after all, developed nearly 30 years ago now).
Ah, but that was not the piece d'resistance. THAT would be the AOL 10.0 CD that I found.
Nope, doesn't work on Windows X, sorry kids.

If you ever teach him to handle fire arms, be sure he's wearing steel toed boots.
We are all furious with him. This is the good coffee shop. If we have to change because of him there will be hell to pay.
Him "We can go to the one by Wendy's."
Us "we don't get 2 hours for break"
Him "or the one by McDonald's "
USs" do we look like soccer mom's? "
Him "what about the one in the park?"
Us "ONLY IF WE WANTED SOME HEROIN!!!!"

Don't allow facts to get in the way of a good story.
I used to have a co-worker who was a very picky eater...ate like a 7 year old: Meat and potates only, no sauces or spices. So we usually ended up at hamburger joints. But he was also very sensitive if you went to lunch without him. I finally told him one day "Dude, you're not my girlfriend, and I want to eat sushi today. So go do your own thing."
Today was my last day of work. Well, paid work. I start my practicum/internship next Thursday and get paid in experience.

So how long have you been friends with Sheldon Cooper?
you aren't far off.
My wife works with a lady that does not like any "ethnic" food. She doesn't say the word ethnic. From the way my wife describes her, if it's not found at Golden Corral then she won't eat it. She gets left behind often for group lunches.
The main thing my dad was picky about was Asian food. After 3 years in Korea(war) he just could not bring himself to eat any of it.
You're an adult human now, you don't have to grub for food.
...unless you want to, of course.

Yeah, but then it's all "Sir, you're disturbing the other diners."[DOUBLEPOST=1504283004,1504282924][/DOUBLEPOST]
Every day is a struggle not to become a similar graph, where the dotted line is "realizing I don't need a reason to go buy an ice-cream-cake."

Underling #1: "Something weird happened at lunch. I was in the store with my sister (note: U1 is ~24 years old, her sister is ~10), and this lady gave her $20 all sneaky!"
Me: "She thought you were your sister's mother."
U1: "... ohhhhh... I guess that makes sense, my sister was complaining her shoes were too tight, and I was telling her how to loosen them..."
Me: "Yep. She thought you were your sister's dirt poor unwed teenage single mother trying to find a way to make your daughter's shoes last a little longer because you couldn't afford to buy new ones. Your sister's only about 15 years younger than you, you don't have a ring on your finger, and I know how you dote on your sister in public. So she tried to give you shoe money without you knowing about it."
U1: "Ah."
Me: "She thought you were your sister's mother."
