Didn't really want to make a new thread for this, but do y'all have any idea what a reasonable timeframe is to call back for a job interview? I'm trying to upgrade to a full-time position within the company I'm currently at, and had a talk with them about the possibillities for that two weeks...

Date (see Minor Victory thread) cancelled on me because she had another date over the weekend that went unexpectedly well, and she didn't want to string me along. I know I shouldn't be as grumpy about this as I am - and I appreciate her honesty, at least - but after seven years, it was nice to...

Pretty sure they're too busy/distracted with uh... other things.

Thanks for the actual advice, y'all. Here's to hoping.

Oh, there's no way I'm actually giving up the opportunity now that I have it. But thanks, anyway.

I suppose I should've known better than to ask that question.

I have a date. For the first time in like, seven years-ish, a girl was interested enough to say yes, so we're having drinks on tuesday. What the fuck do I do now?:aaah:

So, yesterday as I was biking home, my chain slipped loose and I had to walk the last 10 minutes or so. No big deal, I know how to put it back on. So today, I tried that, opened up the chain guard and guess what? Turns out the chain hadn't slipped off the gears but was actually broken at one of...

Cleaned out my closet and got three garbage bags full of no-longer-fitting clothes that are off to the goodwill. Part one of a big cleaning out of old shit I no longer need in an effort to create some sort of less-slobby living space. I don't believe in the whole Marie Kondo "brings you joy"...

Agreed. They could've easily put the Pilgrim story as the main focus and saved the Billy story for season 3. The actors did good with what they were given, but a rushed story is still a rushed story.

Up to episode 11. Don't like it as much as season 1. Still good tho.

Sous-vide porkchop, kimchi-potato pancakes, and broccoli with oyster sauce. Didn't take a picture because it wasn't a very pretty plate. Tasted good, though.

That's about how I feel about Annihilation. Well, not so much unsatisfied - it was extremely my jam (though as far as recent weird sci-fi movies go I preferred Arrival) - but there's a little something in the back of my mind that goes "huh" every time I think about things.

Brooklyn Nine-nine Season 6 premiere, bay-bee! Noice. Toit. Et cetera. I'm so glad this show is back.

Bohemian Rhapsody. Astounding. The energy at the concerts was amazing, the actors were fantastic (Malek of course, but also the guy what played Brian May looked like he just stepped from the mirror). Definitely a movie that is better in a theatre, but man. So good. The Live Aid section at the...

Bad Times at the El Royale. It...was okay? But I wasn't as impressed as I was hoping to be from the trailer. Solid flick all around, but yeah, wrong expectations I guess.

Turns out my dad has no idea either what the wood is. It remains a mystery.

I had to look up what Dymondwood is, but I don't think so? I'll ask my dad when I see him again to be certain.

That's not a knife... This is a knife. (See the christmas thread for reference).

Well, I went by my grandparents place today after work for a traditional christmas eve bread meal (it's a thing they do) and since my dad is in the country for the holidays I asked him to pick me up. Midway through the evening he presents me with a bottle of cognac from my birthyear and a custom...
