Getting "downsized" was the inspiration.

I'm not sure which is more depressing, getting potential job listings like this or "CDL Long Haul Trucker" or "Part Time Sales Clerk".

Not only am I waaaaay underqualified, the lowest salary of the range they list is less than I was making in my previous job, though I'd happily accept it. Algorithms really fail badly. A job title's task description at one company means something totally different at another. smh

Congrats. Not many know the song.

What isn't much to you might be intolerable to the next person. A friend took me to a Thai restaurant, he was fine & I had the most mild thing on the menu and could not find enough liquid to quench the fire in my mouth.

I almost had a '73 Fiat Spyder for a first car. My paternal Aunt promised it to me, but later said it had too many mechanical issues. I did not know that, at the time, a maternal Uncle of mine was the Head of Service for Fiat in the Central US. (I really think my Dad talked my Aunt out of it & it was just an excuse)

His horse lost

...Curry Chicken has chicken, onions and mushrooms in a curry sauce. So when I saw a whiteish, roundish bit I thought it was a mushroom cap. Until I bit into it & the strong taste of garlic hit me. I wonder how sorry I'm going to be later.

T-13 days and counting to shot #2.

There was a stockman at one of the first stores I worked at who, after someone had a party in the breakroom (birthday, anniversary, etc) from the coworkers and all the cake was gone, would go into the trash and scrape off the leftover icing from the cake board. Usually had to shoo the flies off it. He wasn't missing any meals at home so it wasn't like he was starving.

1) Maybe - as long as it's not cringeworthy. 2)

Probably because the stuff gets on your lips and tingles, so if you were to kiss someone it would contact transfer.

More like a bad toupee.

Probably where the rest of the "landau" roof stuff was. Mine looked like this - notice that the black roof material doesn't come all the way to the doors or windshield? Really hated how that looked.
