As someone who spent 12 years running a snow shoveling crew professionally...
Heck with the "talk to Captain Yesterday's aliases" thread -- we need a, "Name one obscure job that Captain Yesterday hasn't had" thread!
EDIT: And I am fairly sure "Nekkid dancer" isn't on that list!

God bless you for your service to our country. You are a fine human being, and may your children grow to be as outstanding. I have never had a poor piece of American cheese, (I have had one overwhipped French soft cheese that was like eating a stick of butter) and I like to think you are part of the reason why.

Well, with lunch out and the Imps insisting on doing most of the work, we're not going to finish Phase 3 today, but I'm getting some cool pictures of Impus Major at work! Woo hoo! On the bright side, it took 45 exhausting minutes to do one wall without removing the nails, so it would have probably killed me to do it all today. The Imps are having fun and I'm just cleaning up after them...
EDIT: OK. Holy carp! Impus Major took out almost the entire north wall -- I did the south wall, so there's little for Impus Minor to do. He's in there ripping out drywall like a maniac.
Destruction and young boys. What could be better?

Well, the jig is finally up! But it wasn't my retired friend; it was a friend of my brother's who went through her own weight loss journey a couple of years ago, so I'm not surprised she noticed the moment she set eyes on me. But it was fun to listen to her gush. "How could anyone NOT have noticed? You're like a rail! I don't think you HAVE another 25 pounds to lose!"
She probably hadn't got the memo about conspiracy...

Does quality control involve anything other than eating cheese/cookies?I only worked there less then two days.
I was also a quality control inspector for cookies at a different place, I worked there two weeks, got my first check and never returned.
With Cheese I had to watch for air holes or defects in the packaging, with cookies you had to pull out any broken ones, and yes we got to eat the broken ones, which is nice and all, but didn't help me when I was 19 and looking for my place in the world.
And that weekend my place in the world was in Madison, eating mushrooms and watching The Ghost and the Darkness at the theater.

There is no conspiracy. There is nothing unusual going on here. Now just move on.

Pfft, it's still 2015 for most of a day yet. Silly non-USAians.
I'm now in Season 10 of Red vs Blue and ran into trouble in Episode... uh... 18?
Why did Tex go back to rescue Alpha Church, then just disappear?
And why did Maine/Meta throw Carolina off the cliff?
I thought I was following things so far, but that one baffled me.

I don't go that far, but yes I've been cleaning like mad the last couple days, tree is gone, game table set up, dishes are mostly done, kids room shall be clean before the morning is done.

This is really the point where Maine becomes The Meta. After stealing Carolina's AIs and Freelancer gear, he had no further need for Carolina herself and discarded her like trash.
I got that she knew who she was ("let's just say we used to be together" had a dual meaning) and that Alpha didn't know because he sectioned off the memory of her to protect her first - hence her status as Beta. But why did she simply vanish? That's the second time. The first was when Church said "I forget you" and this is the second - when he's forgotten her. And I get why she'd want to rescue him. But why vanish at the end?
I missed Maine getting Carolina's AI's. They're implanted, right? How would he get them? And he tossed her off the cliff with her gear still on. Only her helmet was left.
I understand him wanting to get rid of her. She's proven to be a driven, vindictive b!**+. He wouldn't want THAT loose end around messing up his plans.

No. But now I'm thinking about all those things, knowing I'm not going to do any of them today, and feeling guilty*.

They don't actually show the physical removal of the component parts, but in earlier (later, timelinewise, since this is flashback) episodes they explained that The Meta was stealing Freelancer AIs and tools to add to himself. That's how he can use their tech tricks, such as Tex's invisibility or Wyoming's time manipulation. The two AIs that show up with Meta at the end of the episode after he tosses her - aside from the orange one Sigma, Maine's own AI - were Iota and Eta, Carolina's AIs.
Orthos:
I knew what Meta was doing and that Tex was being blamed for Maine's attack on Wyoming. Meta's driven by the AI's he acquires to "reunite" all of them; hence his collecting fetish. I just didn't see him take Carolina's AI. I thought hers were removed after the "Allison" incident.

No, her AIs weren't removed. They were going to, but we see the argument she's having with the Director and Counselor when they tell her they're going to remove them, then Tex breaks into the base and everyone gets active trying to stop or help her before they can put Carolina down for removal surgery.
Maybe we should find/start a Red vs Blue discussion thread?
