Mr. Nice!: Oct 13, 2005; c-spam cannot afford

I just quit my job because I can�t do this work. There�s too much and I cannot separate work/home. I�d get home at 6:30-7:00 most nights and immediately fall asleep from exhaustion. I�m miserable and feel like a complete moron at work. I don�t know what I�m going to do, but I know criminal defense is not for me.

I�m looking to do some of that, shim. No one in town does discharge upgrades so I can definitely carve out a niche.

Also florida does have legal medical weed and growhouses near me that need help. I�m probably applying there at least in the short term.

There was an insurance thread or derail in AI a while back. Geico generated a couple of horror stories that ended with (successful) lawsuits because of how bad the offered payouts were. IIRC one dude had a thousands-of-dollars mountain bike stolen that Geico offered Walmart bike value for, and another had a restored 60s Impala get totaled that they offered low 4-digits for.

Here's the thing to remember about insurance: (to a point) it's not what you pay in premiums, it's how well it protects/helps you AFTER poo poo hits the fan. My only USAA insurance experience was when I had major roof damage from tornadic storms...it was as straightforward as I could've hoped. Homeowners!=auto, though.

Good luck man. Hopefully you land on your feet, and that vet angle sounds interesting. I'd double check that being weed-affiliated doesn't impact your ability to do legal stuff, whether state or federal.

I used my personal pot card and stuff I�ve got at the dispensary as court exhibits.

Guy Fieri was on an earlier season, and at that point they didn't get quite as hot. His peaked at 600k scoville, iirc, where Ramsay peaked at 2m+ with the last dab. However, the last 3-4 on the Fieri episode were hotter than the ones that first started loving up Gordon, so I'm pretty sure he would have been wrecked in the old days.

Fieri at the end stands up, and before walking off set says "for the record - no water, no milk" and walks away without having touched his drinks.

Was going to post a picture of those eyes, and instead read an article about how they closed in 2015 after the husband attacked a customer with a knife outside the restaurant. Amy announced that she was just going to stick to making desserts for restaurants. She was actually good at that, so good luck to her.

Something like 3/4 of restaurants on his show end up closing anyways either because 1. They were too hosed up to permanently change their ways 2. the restaurant business is a bitch to succeed in even when you have all your ducks in a row

Something that I heard Guy Fieri say, and it rings true - unless food is your passion and your driving force in life, you'll never recover your time and costs put into the business. You have to literally live the business to be successful. I couldn't do it, and I saw dozens of food trucks open and close while I ran mine.

So I've got a big fuckoff event tomorrow, a whole day policy workshop where we're going to update/rewrite one of the core defining policies that defines my entire office's existence. It's big. It's important. It has flags. I've hit a huge amount of roadblocks in getting this thing launched but by sheer luck it's going to happen. It's 3pm and all changes are final, gently caress you we're locking the agenda and printing the materials. Go to print the fifty copies necessary of an 84 page policy, fifty copies of a 28 page deck, etc. - we've got reams of paper ready to go.

Make it to the forth copy and it runs out of toner. How in the gently caress? Oh, turns out that someone on the analytics team turned off the 'toner low, replace toner' alert and didn't call in a work order to replace it. Thanks guys. Put in a work order, wait a half hour, no callback. We call JSP. They don't have the toner in stock for our printer. The other printer in our office can't do a lot of printing because it overheats, and it's also B&W only and we need color. We call the duplication office, they don't take new orders past 3pm without some serious signatures that we don't have at the moment.

We start going door to door asking the other offices if we can map to their printer and do a job.

"how many pages"
"...about 5800..."
"...what"
"double sided! so only like 2750! we have our own paper!"
"...get out"

Until the nice people at a force resiliency suboffice let us do it. But there's a catch, it doesn't staple and it doesn't collate. My deputy and I print that motherfucker and put all the pages into boxes with sticky notes breaking up the pages. We walk it back in where my juniors are sitting, and I tell them "guess what you guys get to do" they looked puzzled for a few seconds until I held up two staplers like lobster claws, clacked them a few times, and in my best Zoidberg impression went "snibbidy snab". It took them over an hour to assemble everything so it can go into folders.

I am so getting some good scotch after this hellweek is over.

I know how you feel, vas.

I interviewed for a business development/sales type position for a software company. They�ve been around 26 years and a friend works there so I know it�s not a fly by night type thing. I left a good impression, and may have a gig. Seems like it would be a good fit.

USAA will absolutely track that person down. First off, they have a copy of the check. Second, every place that accepts checks will have cameras that show who it was that passed the bad note. This will get turned over to police, and they will prosecute. USAA is refunding you the money because they're awesome. Some banks will just tell you tough poo poo and assist with identifying the thief and make you seek restitution. In this case, USAA will seek restitution.

I have a nice brown pair of shoes that still eats my left achilles raw. I have to put bandaids on it beforehand.

You�re senior enough that you can wear whatever loving shoe you want. Just make sure they�re black and/or match your suit.

Or if you don�t think you can get away with black sneakers, you could always wear cowboy boots. I think some boots is the way to go. You get an extra inch and a half in height plus they�re still dress shoes and won�t destroy your ankles.

If you have more than $500-1000 at your house, you're a dingus. Go put that in the bank where it is safe. If you do have $500-1000 at home, that should be in a fireproof safe and preferably bolted securely in place.

Yup. And the bill that looks most likely to pass enabling smokable cannabis is going to be restricted to pre-rolled joints that will probably cost the same.

I don't know which way the governor is leaning, but there's a chance he might veto that and just drop the defense to the smoking ban law suit.
