WHO ARE YOU NEW USERNAME. Also, I got offered a factory job making $3 more an hour with better benefits! 

Do you like factory work?  I worked at a factory for a few years and I loved having zero customer interaction.

Also disappeared from this thread. As for me, everything is a mess but I'm getting by.  So basically, how I've always been.

 

Hope things are going well for you, T!

I'm definitely getting the feeling that this thread died down? And I hope things aren't too much of a mess for you.  I know i'm slowly coming back around from things getting pretty shitty in my life.  I'm looking forward to halloween though.  pretty stoked!

hey so i pretty much disappeared from this thread.  How is everyone?

I have for the most part, yeah!  Still a bit behind on everything, but I'm feeling rested up finally.

yeah you look like you had a ton of fun!  I just got back from SF on thursday and I still feel like i'm dying. I need a whole day to sleep

I'm not so sure what's good for RSD anymore.  I always used to go to Easy St. Records in Lower Queen Anne, but it closed up a 4-5 years ago.  I'm guessing Sonic Boom in Ballard or Every Day Music on Capitol Hill would be solid bets.  Easy St. Records in West Seattle would probably be good, but you're looking at a trek.

awesome thanks!! I'm hoping to try and make it down to Seattle today 

i totally forgot about RSD this year but i just saw Marcy Playground and now I'm tempted to go check it out.  Jon what record store would you recommend I hit ?

There are a few really great record stores, the Chinese Rose Garden is pretty neat, but I'm not sure this time of year. The Japanese Garden is pretty cool and last time we went it was around this time of year. Couple really great places to eat depending what you're in the mood for. Powell's Books is pretty cool, Voodoo Donuts is probably worth a visit, but there are better joints around town in my opinion. If there isn't a Killer Burger in Seattle, that's worth a stop!

oh nice!  i have heard a lot about voodoo donuts and i'll definitely add that to the list

You can drink on the train though! By the time I got to Tacoma to see Sabbath I had a buzz going

oh nice!!  i haven't taken the train much but i've always loved it =)

also, what kind of stuff would you recommend doing while in portland?  anything off the top that i gotta do and will be bummed if i don't check it out?

I know Jon was thinking about coming down here sometime soon, maybe you can convince him to travel with you!

come on jon,...portland!  4 hour train ride. lol

Hopefully! Dude lives here and I barely ever see him.

ha.  well i've been in seattle for about 2 months and haven't met any of the seattle smalltalkers yet lol.

Just now, The Ghost of Randy Savage said:

I'd be down to meet up for sure! I think I'm on call next weekend though, so we'd have to be someplace relatively quiet. I'd love to hang though.

awesome!!  yeah i'll keep you updated.  hopefully the butcher is in to hang out too?

Well, didn't get the job in Seattle or Vancouver, and probably turning down the Denver one due to the low-ball offer. Rough weekend

 

Anyone need a live-in veg. cook/dog walker/sassy best friend? Hmu

 

 Hope you feel better asap! Get those vitamins and sleep in.

sorry to hear this but i think something will happen soon.  Most people I know couldn't get far enough in the Amazon interview for an onsite so i think you're really close to getting something awesome! 

I love all the seattle dogs.  I went to a bar last weekend and there were dogs everywhere!!  Definitely going to bring my dog there if i end up staying here.

Damn Jon. Sorry to hear your flight got cancelled. Hopefully you can still have a cool vacation staying here. Maybe take the train to Portland? I'm looking forward to visiting there as soon as I get a break in my schedule. 

@chkadea glad to hear you had a fun trip!  Hopefully they make you an offer!!

Yeah...I took a partial day today because I felt even a little tiny bit sick, but I didn't have an afternoon appointment. It's impossible to take a full sick day most of the time so I sometimes just take "sick of work" days if I don't have something immediate going on.

that is pretty cool!  Having a job where they value you as a person makes a huge difference!  My current job seems to be very laid back. We pretty much make our own hours and just can't clock over 40 a week. It snowed last week and they told us we can just work from home if we wanted!  That is completely new to me.  my last job said to leave earlier than normal since it'll take longer to travel to work with the snow.

Unrelated : anyone have good suggestions for turntable lighting?  The area around mine is fairly dark and I just need some mild light.  I was thinking rope lighting or something, but I dunno.

i just used a cheap string of christmas lights and went around the kallax.  worked pretty well.

so i've worked jobs where calling in sick is not really an option.  2 years ago I had a small surgery on my hand with a doctor's note saying i needed 3 days off to recover and my work hassled me over it. I hate not really having the choice to stay home and be sick. I would just force myself to go and feel like I was dying the whole time and then go home and crash.  it's not a good way to live.

I've never been   It did look pretty cool from your snapchats!  Is that the one downtown?  The exterior is real rad!  The one on capitol hill has a pretty good exterior too.

oooooooooooooh you gotta go!! 

it's off 4th street near pike street (i think).  so you can use all the escalators to go up but i think it skips floors. you can get off at one of the floors and it slants down and turns into another floor.  not sure if i'm describing that right but it's trippy.  oooh and you take the elevator to go to the 4th floor which is that insane red floor i took a photo of.  

it was awesome!!!
