Oh... it's hard to tell sometimes...
Least I was only a little late this time.

What the hell, man? You come down here, look around the breakfast area while shaking your head and making disappointed sounds I can hear all the way at the desk. I see you read the sign on the juice machine saying that, due to COVID restrictions, juice is not available. Then you walk over to the coffee, grab a cup, walk back to the juice machine, and try to dispense juice! And then you make an aggravated noise and throw your hands in the air when it doesn't give you any juice! You knew it wasn't going to. What, did you think that the sign was a lie? That if you tried it, it would work? Go away and never come back. Please.
Make him go away with a limp...

I'll have you know hotel hospitality is a one way street, paved with day old pastries and held together by cheap orange juice.

It doesn't matter, NOTHING can affect the time stream!.. or was it the other way around...
I don't know about how it looks to anyone else, but I posted as John Ghoti and then as Very Cross, but they've been swapped.F!!*in' time travelers.What did I do?
Honestly though those post work in either order.
I'll have you know hotel hospitality is a one way street, paved with day old pastries and held together by cheap orange juice.Well, since the pastries come in frozen, I'm pretty sure they're more than a day old. And we haven't had juice-orange, cheap, or otherwise-since last March or April. Whenever the county said we couldn't have the machine on as part of anti-COVID measures.
... Huh... I wonder why we still have ours....
Yeah Management doesn't care if we grab some snacks as long as its nothing wraped up. like the little boxes of cereal.

Especially night shift. not like I can just go somewhere and come back.. without getting fired anyways.

Well I was going to make a alias named "Nothing" but I couldn't find a butterfly picture.

There is a picture of a stone with a glowing butterfly inscription on it, probably easiest to find if you sort by newest first and then it should be within a few pages.
Or it could be at the top of most used.

Your kind of both right and wrong.

Better yet if you focus your images on Desna or search for images of Longdreamer (a space butterfly from the Iron Gods AP).
Damn, they don't have the search field in avatar images anymore, just the stupid filters. I haven't changed my avatar image in entirely too long! I blame Paizo for using my picture to draw Aroden.

I decided that overcast, windy, with a high of 38 is entirely too cold for carpentry on an empty windswept field.

You realize I live in the middle of a large metropolitan area right? Madison itself has 250,000+ and then you have all the parasitic suburbs like Middleton, Monona, Fitchburg, Verona, and Sun Prairie.
You have to drive at least 25 minutes to get to anything rural.
LOLOL. I'm Californian. Anything under a million people is "rural". We consider our state capital (Sacramento, population 500,000+ and home to significant traffic jams) to be "rural".
When you live jammed in like lemmings, a city with a population of 250,000 seems downright pleasant...
Sacramento IS rural.
It's surrounded by hours of almonds, olives, cattle, sheep and rice in every freaking direction. Putting a couple of shiny ugly tall buildings in the middle of it do not make it a glittering metropolis.
Although there used to be some darned fine restaurants.EDIT: One branch of my mother's family have lived there for over a century. My great-aunt used to take umbrage at the "rural" thing, too, and the rest of the family laughed at her for it. Mainly because they owned a sheep and rice ranch just outside of town.
I used to live there.

I feel for the guy. I go to hotels for room parties and breakfast. And if I can't have one, I want the other. And I have had delicious juice from "broken" machines before.
Where is the nearest source of breakfast at your place?
If he's where I think he is, there's a bunch of different options (granted, mostly chains) within 2-4 blocks.
I bet it's either a Hardee's or McDonald's.
I bet it's either a Hardee's or McDonald's.
Among several other options, yes.
I suppose Denny's and Perkins are the other chains open for breakfast.

Are there any more dreaded words for the customer than, "What can we do to make it right?"
Because the honest answer with contractors is, "Build a time machine, go back, and build it correctly the first time."
Sure, I could try to argue for a 10% discount, but I would've rather paid the extra 10% and gotten the job done properly. I'll still be dissatisfied.
The other option that I'm always offered is, "We'll send the same guy who screwed up the first time to come back and 'fix' it again and again and again until he does it right."
Oooh... fun! The guy with a shotgun collection and anger management issues (yes, he mentioned that he'd had to take anger management courses in the past) is going to keep getting sent to my house until I say that I'm satisfied.
Sounds more a threat than a remedy.
At this point, with all the screw-ups, most of the stuff that needs to be fixed is stuff that GothBard or I can do on our own, and the grand total will be under 8 hours of work and under $30 in equipment. For our own peace of mind, this works much better for us.
Yet for the contractor, this "solution" means we're still dissatisfied and we'll never hire him again, and he wants to find a "better" solution.
And again, unless he can go back in time and remedy his subordinate's incompetence, it would involve more people in my house for another eternity, and some things (like the off-center mirror) can't be fixed without tearing everything out and starting over again.
You screwed up. I'm done. You're not going to miraculously make me happy. Deal with it.

So long as I can get OJ before the con, I'm good.

What's got screwed up as the final bonus?

Things we can fix:
- Patch the drywall in the closet that he had to open because he mismeasured the depth of the shower valve- Strap the pipes to stop the water hammer because he screwed up the plumbing job
- Patch the drywall in the kitchen where he had to rip open the wall to fix the pipes
- Stucco the outside of the house in the places where he replaced pipes or drain pipes
Things I expect the Head Contractor to fix:
- Verify that the grout is indeed sealed and waterproof. We have our doubts
- Patch the hole in the floor from our temporary shower (I kid you not -- the guy used scrap wood, exactly like the old homeowner I've been complaining about for the last 10 weeks)
- Put in a threshold
Things we have to live with:
- The mirror is off-center by 1" because they miscommunicated
- There are 3-4 black stains in the white grout where the guy dropped the dark grout on the light grout

It was time for new society characters. My main SFS character is getting too high level to find games with any frequency (but I will still jump on those opportunities), and my PFS2 cleric is ineffective and boring.
I have settled on: a druid with an eternally happy disposition and a leshy familiar named Crabgrass, and a vesk soldier who talks like he’s from Brooklyn and joined the Starfinders because he heard he could set his own hours.
These are going to be fun.

Afternoon, all. What did I miss?
2 penguins, an old lady, three mailboxes, and (unfortunately) Ted Nugent.
I'll let the old lady and penguins slide, but I'm going to have to give you a warning about missing Ted Nugent.

Parents are allowed to be hypocrits. For instance, I tell my kids that lying is bad, but I also tell them that Baby Shark was destroyed in a fire at the internet factory.
Happiness is being old enough to have no fricking idea what gran is talking about.
