100% on board. First stop is to local grocers, then Costco, and if those fail, then I’ll resort to Sobeys.

I think that might depend on who you’re hiring though. That’s the same line our boss told me when they pushed me back to the office. But in the time since then, we have hired several new staff who actually prefer to communicate digitally. They will email, teams, phone, or text me with questions before actually seeking me out in person.

I’m on day 744 and my streak is just an alternating pattern of fire and ice. I hate it but I think I hate the idea of dropping all that progress more. Did you stop using Duolingo altogether or just switch to practicing when you want to?

I say sexy things to myself when I’m daaancing…

This is such a great explanation, thanks for taking the time to write it all out.

He’s also very much on team orange.

Yeah, I’m really hoping it ends up being clear skies. The next one isn’t until 2079 (for this area) I think, so this one will probably be my only chance. Really, I could just stay home and see it but I’m just on the edge of the path so I might as well drive the hour or so and get right on the centre. I’m planning on taking the day off, leaving early, and making a day of it.

Who are you, who is so wise in the ways of science?

As an engineer, this is painfully true.

I’ll bet it all on never.

It was sarcasm, hence the /s

Shit like this happens all the time. My wife had her ovary twist and went to the ER because she was in extreme pain. She sat in the waiting room for 10 hours since they thought she was just overreacting and couldn’t be in that much pain. Once she actually got to see the doctor he “jokingly” asked if she possibly could have caught an STD (we’ve been together for 14 years by that point) and decided to take a blood sample to at least say they did something. When results came back with an EXTREMELY high white blood cell count, they actually started to take her pain seriously. She was in emergency surgery within a few hours after that. Had they ignored her any longer it would have ruptured inside her and potentially died. Coincidentally, when they went in to untwist it, that’s when they realized she also has endometriosis. After years and years of being told by her doctor that periods are painful and just deal with it, she finally had proof that it was actually not normal to be in that much pain every month. I really don’t understand why a woman in pain is not a concern but if a man has a headache, then they leap into action.

I suspect if someone who makes 50K a year has millionaire connections, those connections would have probably helped them by now and not have to wait for them to die.

I could be wrong, money seems to make people selfish and greedy. So maybe the millionaire would rather hoard their wealth than let the 50K person get any before they die. But they’re still nice enough to let them have something after they pass?

“oh this? this is just my news boner. I really love the news”

If they think they’re getting paid, I would argue that they’re also idiots

I know! And it would take forever to heal that wound.
