My wife had to close her store yesterday, because a young buck managed to get into the store.

The story made it to reddit.

Bill O'Reilly is such a dipshit.

What the fuck?

On the above picture, compare the times of the delivery to the current time on my PC.

Does Canada have daylight savings? And if so did the clocks go back this weekend & the courier company 's clocks haven't updated?

I know it's not UPS, but this really sounds like a case of "What can Brown do for you?".

My supervisor messaged everyone in our department and said we needed to complete this online training course on our company intranet about emergency evacuation procedures. It's very simple, basically just a few slides we need to read through. She was very insistent that we needed to complete the training by the end of the day today. I went onto our intranet and read through the slides. The last slide said "Drills will be conducted twice annually to ensure employees are familiar with these evacuation procedures. The drills will take place in April and October."

It's going to be the last day of October tomorrow. Our supervisor insisted that we need to read this stuff by today.

Hmmm.

HMMMMM.

HMMMMMMMMM.....

I wonder what's going to happen tomorrow.

To be clear, I mean my rating as a joke.

Nope, they all left.

Well, one of them is still here, but she literally handed in her resignation today. Like, I got her resignation letter an hour ago.

Hey, it's not just AZ.
Although I admit I didn't know that IN finally switched from IFT in 2006 until I read that.

Is anyone in touch with @Gruebeard ? I haven't seen him post in a long time.

drifter · Oct 30, 2019

Not gonna lie, I really want to try this now.

So, just checking, anyone interested in setting up the Secret Santa this year? Seems like it's about the time for it, but I haven't seen @Tress in a while.

He was here today at 10AM

So, you know that Meatloaf song "I would do anything for love (but I won't do that)"?

Ever since this song came out in '93, my private internal joke has been that he's talking about pegging. And every time I heard it on the radio, that's what I would cross my mind and I'd just laugh to myself.

So, I decided it'd be funny to make a post to reddit about it for the obvious upvotes. Searching for a suitable meme picture, I run across this article:

https://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2017/05/05/meatloaf-confirms-but-i-wont-do-that-was-a-strap-on/

I was right all along!

I'm around. I just don't post much.

Having said that, I would like to step away from the Secret Santa gig. @strawman did it for a bit, and I've done it for a bit, and I think now it's someone else's turn. If anyone is willing (it's not too difficult), please PM me and I'll walk you through it.

Guy I went to High School with, though didn't know very well, OD'd in jail yesterday.

Awful circumstances and I especially feel for his young kids.

HCGLNS · Nov 2, 2019

Forrest and Jenny is a nice love story and that's all I got to say about that.

Today in Google wtf'ery, I went on YouTube to look up the piano accompaniment for a song my daughter is singing in a competition next week, and YouTube knew what I wanted within three letters. I shrugged that off because we have a YouTube premium family account, and I figured maybe my daughter had searched for it previously. But no, the actual wtf'ery was that the song that was on the "up next" was the accompaniment for the song her friend is singing, which is really not related in any way to the song my daughter is singing, and the only time I had interaction with this song was when she sang it at practice yesterday with the accompanist. I guess it's time to disable my mic forever.

The "drunk and wasted" thread is over that-a-way.

Also, congratulations on surviving another year!

Yeah, commercial nog has been showing up around here since last week. You'll find my usual rant about that over in the usual places.
