White chocolate is not chocolate.
I say that as a baker.
That said, I love white chocolate.
Which, again, is not chocolate.
No fingerprint recognition is used where I work, I just pull the cord and go. Otherwise the last time I was fingerprinted Bill Clinton was president.
I never got a felony, I got a ticket for having pot once but even then I was taking the fall so my friend wouldn't get kicked out of college. I'd do it again every time.
I did my taxes. So I basically have 80 bucks until I get paid in a couple of weeks. All good though I already did my major grocery shopping and set aside 20 for the laundromat so shouldn't be too difficult just means I won't be going out much the next couple of weeks.
Judging from the videos, killing enemies in Helldivers 2 seems to be extreme fun, even if it is counterproductive, goal-wise. Not to be That Guy, but I would absolutely be That Guy. I don't play video games to clear checkpoints and whatever you said, I'm here to blow s$!% up.
Definitely.Chick Dani. Say what you want about the game, the actress playing Dani Rojas absolutely nailed it.Are you playing as Dani or Dani? If it had the rpg elements from Far Cry 5 it easily could have been game of the year, but they had to dumb down the progression system. I love the story and characters but the actual game play can get repetitive.

From an Intel report in Far Cry 6 "We have begun surveillance on their surveillance position. They cannot out-surveilance us"
No, Madison has their s$+~ together so trash day is always the day after junk mail day. New apartment uses a trash service though and they empty the dumpsters on Monday.
Thursdays here.
I get everywhere early.
I'm going to a show at the Majestic Theater downtown, it's a bunch of local bands covering bands that were influential to them in high school or something. So it's a wide range of bands. I also baked a cake.
In other news, I get to navigate the fun-filled world of overnight school trips. Four of my forensics kiddos qualified for state championships this season. That sounds suspicious.
All I know is Ghost Of Tsushima is definitely my 2nd favorite game other than Elden Ring. And in some ways (story, fluidity of combat) it even surpasses Elden Ring.
Snow removal and then going to go see Sleater-Kinney downtown. The rest of the weekend? Depends. I did get Dragon's Dogma 2, so I'll probably try that out.
I have never had any desire to go on Reddit, though apparently it's a pretty good place to get useable solutions to tech problems. The MLP porn can be found anywhere on the internet without looking for it though.
Everyone else sees 2-6 inches of snow in the forecast for tomorrow and calls off working today. I see a high temperature in the lower 40s and NO WIND for today so I don't call off and put in a full day and get a lot done. This is why I'm in charge.
Redwho now? Is this some sort of therapy group for dyslexic speed readers?
I liked Starship Troopers. I appreciated the whole propaganda and titties angle they went with. Yes, most 90s movies had that weird fake sheen to them. I don't know why, it's just how we rolled. But I was pretty baked every time I saw it, so take that as you will.
I doubt that will stay visible on the Careers page for more than a couple weeks.That was March 14. It's already been removed. Sounds like someone is about to get overworked for minimal pay!
Talking to the rest of the hardscape crews yesterday I mentioned how much the weather is going to suck this next week and we might not get a full week. Then I said (jokingly) "that's okay though, you guys don't mind working next Saturday to make up for it, do you?" To which everyone said (sarcastically) "oh yeah, nooo problem!". Tyler, the lead foreman for the lawn division hears the last part, so he says to his crews "what about you guys, you ready to work next weekend if needed!" To which his guys replied with a hearty "go f+@! yourself!" So Tyler says to me "I don't get it, man! How come your guys are so loyal!" "I don't know, man, it's a mystery!". The answer is actually super easy. 2 guys I've worked with for 18 years, one guy I've known since he was 10, another guy (who is 21) I've known his dad for 18 years so I've been showing him how to build stuff since he was 3, my daughter, and 2 more guys I've been helping to train for the last 3 years. Also, it turns out if you lead by example and treat your workers with respect they will literally smash through a brick wall if you asked them to. Of course so would anyone if you give them a really nice maul.
I had a wildly successful week at work so I went to a show and got very drunk. I'll probably do the same tomorrow, Saint Patrick's Day on Sunday and all.
Between Toys R Us and my current job I've spent too much time with zero accountability and complete artistic freedom to even consider joining a union. I fully respect what they've brought us as far as worker's rights and everything but I feel like how they are currently it's outdated and probably unnecessary. Of course I say that as someone with zero education on the matter so correct me if I'm wrong.
Crookshanks' birthday is in April, this will be her first birthday without her mother (which is pretty f$+%ed up) so I'm going to try my hand at birthday cakes.
Yesterday our high temperature was 69 degrees. I drove 69 miles to the job site going 69 mph. Just doing my part in bringing balance to the force.
She already has reinforced boots. It's one of those things that everyone in the Midwest gets upon reaching adulthood regardless of profession or need.
Super excited for this year! Tomorrow I get to take Crookshanks in to the office to fill out the new hire paperwork and application and then I get to take her safety gear shopping to get her her own respirator mask and noise canceling earmuffs. Edit: And she also gets her own hard hat she can personalize.
So, Dead Island 2! There is this part where you go to this hotel where the army is supposedly holed up and I get to the pool area and they'd been dissolving bodies in the pool filled with acid or whatnot and I get swarmed by a s#~@ load of zombies and I think the tactic you're supposed to use is using a battery to turn on a pump that sprays the acid in various areas. Or something like that. What I did was start tossing zombie bait into the middle of the pool and then stood on the opposite side so they'd try to walk through the pool to get me rather than climb up the side when it wore off. And if any did make it to a side I'd kick it back in. Also, there is something absolutely hilarious about kicking a zombie in the face in first person games. The Top Secret flashbacks are strong!
Ah yes, the science of calling a rain day on a construction site! What you do is, draw a circle on the ground and when an arbitrary number of rain drops (today being the first Friday back was a 3 drop day) fall within the circle (or it starts downpouring or there's lightning) you pack it up and leave. This week we're working outside of Milwaukee, which is quite the drive from Madison, and at about 11 it still hadn't started raining there so I decided we should text someone working at the shop to draw a circle there and send us a picture when it hits 3 drops. His reply "it's raining. I'm not drawing a f~++ing circle" so we packed it up for the week.
First week back to work! So I'll be doing laundry and probably going out tomorrow night. To be honest, I thought I'd be sore but after the first day it's actually been pretty easy getting in shape this week.
Fun fact: I've never gotten a job I had to apply for. Every time, I get the job, then fill out the application afterwards. Crookshanks is now continuing the tradition! This will be her 4th job in a row where she already had the job before filling out the application. Edit: unrelated to NobodysHome thing!
...they turn former employees into building material? Clearly you've never worked in construction.
Just saying.** spoiler omitted ** That is an extremely disingenuous argument, there is a huge difference between birth control and wearing masks.
Masks are more placebo than an actual deterrent. Go nuts if you want to wear one but they won't keep you from getting sick. Just saying.
As for the $5, I blame California community colleges. The cafeterias are heavily subsidized, so I’d guess you can get a bowl of decent beef stew at the DVC Cafeteria. Yeah, no, you're not getting anything decent from a cafeteria.
And it turns out we're replacing Mr Hankey with another guy who I've known for 27 years now, who is absolutely an upgrade on Hankey.
I forgot, we also lost Mr Hankey, as he won't be returning. I will miss him.
Should be a good year, we only lost one guy from last year in hardscapes and he's being replaced with Crookshanks. Which is a HUGE upgrade.
I have a date tomorrow night, it should be pretty fun! Other than that we start building for the year starting Monday! It should be a great year, we only lost one guy from last year in hardscapes and we're replacing him with Crookshanks (my daughter) which is a HUGE upgrade!
Well, everyone else called in yesterday, saying it was too cold (it was 11 degrees yesterday morning) so we're starting on Monday now instead. But I got the work trailers organized. 2 trailers for 4 crews, I'm sure those will stay organized for awhile...
It's official, I've worked at Alt's longer than anywhere else. 6 years now!
Call me a horrible human being, but this amuses me no end. This is basically my childhood of being taken to cheap knock off amusement parks. Honestly, the little bastards just need to suck it up, cry for awhile, label it a growth experience and move on. Full disclosure, I did not get very far into the article.
I found out we're starting 3 weeks before every other company.
Did you collect his tears to use in a new water feature? No, I only install water features at trade shows, I prefer to use the other vendor's tears after they see our display compared to theirs for that. Fresh tears and whatnot.
Starting again for the year on Thursday! Best leap year ever!!
I've never really understood the appeal of Soulslike games. To be honest, neither have I. But Elden Ring isn't really a soulslike game. It's an open world game by the creators of Dark Souls. I actually tried playing Dark Souls 3 after completing Elden Ring and I gave up because it didn't have a jump button.
The game is still frustrating... So you're saying I should play that if I'm having Elden Ring withdrawal waiting for the DLC. Edit: You'd be naked too if you started out a maidenless wretch (Elden Ring players will get that reference).
The garden show was super busy! I personally got 3 people to sign up designs, which is $500 minimum. And I'm not even a salesman and I was only there for an hour.
As someone that has seen many a neighborhood grocery store change owners I can say with 99% certainty that the most likely culprit is the new owners trying to wring every last penny out of it.
I finished setting up the garden show exhibit for this weekend at Monona Terrace this afternoon. In another hour I have a snow run. Tomorrow I'm taking my dad out for breakfast and then I'll be going to the convention center to bask in my glory for awhile and then I have a date tomorrow night (first date so not anything to get excited about yet). And then Monday we have to disassemble everything and store it in the barn until next winter.
