Is there any feeling sweeter than setting the 'Out of Office' auto-reply on your work e-mail when you finish work on your last day before a vacation?

That was a rhetorical question.
No. No there is not.

On a not unrelated note - I am on vacation for the entire month of June.
 
So recently, a pool club opened up around here. Its nothing crazy, just a pool with a bar and restaurant. They opened a few weeks ago.

Well they just put up the following dress code:

As a note, this place is in a part of town that's in the process of gentrifying, but still pretty...high melanin. Methinks they didn't like having too many of the people who live right there showing up.

I mean, it also says no backpacks, which is extra ridiculous.
Well, if you say so. I haven't brought a backpack to a pool since high school, and then, it was the school pool and it was my book bag.

Whenever I went to an actual public pool, I usually brought things like towels and clothing and whatnot in, like, what do you call those things, like, cloth shopping bags? A Tote? I dunno. I haven't been swimming in like 20 years.

But I think the problem is, according to that sign, even your tote would not be allowed in.

But the dress code for this place alone is insane, regardless of your melanin content.

Saturday I did a wedding gig. I had played the bride groom dances and had the dance floor open. It was a small affair so not too many people were dancing to anything other than the group dances. The bride & groom left to do “sunset photos”. I talked to some of the people still in the hall and asked them what they wanted to hear.

One old lady said, “Your music sucks.” I told her the bride picked all the music and she said, “I know. My granddaughter’s music taste is shit.”

I finally got her to request something. It was the Electric Slide.

Other than a really F'd up Scooby Doo Confused Emoji, I wouldn't know how to deal with that.
 
WTF is a BTS and why do they have a meal at McDonald's?
I recently watched a video of theirs because I had no idea who they were. I literally sat at my computer gasping at the fact that every new member who appeared was prettier than the last one. to be clear: THESE ARE DUDES. Pretty, pretty dudes.

K-pop is a lot like Banda (a flavor of Regional Mexican music), in that there's always a ridiculous number of band members.
