It's been a good day. I slept until almost 10, got some surprisingly good donuts and iced coffee, and now I'm riding a train into DC. Not sure what I'll get into today... Mostly wanted to familiarize myself with the train system before I go in next week for a show and a baseball game.

Go to DC Brau. One of my favorite breweries and great all around guys.

pull up slowly to the intersection, and proceed as long as someone isn't attempting to fly through, which sounds like what happened to Bruce

 

I've only had this happen to a procession I was attending, once.  I was the one that pulled up in front of the car that was going to cut the procession in half.  Got out of my car and just stood there, looking at the young woman.  Police pulled up, told me 'they had this', and explained to the young lady why she was getting a ticket.  Yes, she got a ticket.  

 

If you are coming upon a procession, they have the right-of-way, not you.  It's that simple.  You can be fined for interruption in almost every state, I believe.  Just pull over to the side, if you can.  If you need to cross a street, wait.  

 

 

The law actually differs state to state. Here in Oregon, if there is going to be a procession you must have police escorts, and they stop traffic so the procession can pass through.

If you are processing without escorts here (illegal) then you must obey all rules of the road, so if you get split up, tough cookies.

 

Thanks for these replies, you guys! I'm going to look up the laws in NJ. I feel really lame that I didn't know this all before. I'll be more careful from now on.

Be fair 3 is not awful. Inconsistent due to studio interference, but fine acting performances from several of the actors and actress... and suuuuper bleak.

 

3 could have been much better and it was nowhere near the mess that Resurrection was.  It's unfortunate that Fincher didn't have the pull that he does now, it would have been great to see what he actually wanted the movie to be.  It's also been quite a few years since I've watched it, so my dislike of it might be harsher than it deserves.  I've been meaning to rewatch Alien and Aliens, might as well tack 3 on :)

They'll play a lot of games with you, and as shitty as it is, since you're a woman you'll need to watch out twice as much because the car salesmen assume you know nothing. It's shitty, but it is what it is. My dad used to work in the industry, so I have an idea how they bullshit. I can try my best to give you some things to watch out for when you decide to get a car.

Thanks ! I'm doing some research on what is a good price to pay so hopefully if I go in there well prepared, I won't get swindled. :/

It's suppose to be low 70s and cloudy all day, I think my dog is going to the beerfest with me! He went 3 years ago and had a great time, it's been too hot to take him the last couple years. I approve of any event that allows dogs, but not kids.

I tried taking my dog to one of our festivals but she wants to be held the whole time and 20 lbs is way too much to hold.

This is the only thing like this that Waffle has ever been to and he was pretty good.  I think the walk there wears him out enough and it's at a pretty open venue, so I don't think he feels too overwhelmed.

Defniately do your homework before going in. Another thing they try to do is they'll price something high but say that you are getting X, Y, and Z warranties for free. They aren't free, they padded the price to accommodate it and figure you'll just be okay with it since it's just "free". Tell them that you want them to take those off and drop the price to whatever it is without those. You really won't need all the bullshit warranties they try to sell, it just increases their profit margin.

Man, using that reel mower when the grass is really long i fucking workout. I just did the front yard,and feel like I'm dying. I really need to get a sharpening kit for it, because on the thick grass it took my entire body to move it. Being out of shape does not help either.

So I just lost my job. One of the other key holders didn't put the money in the safe and I'm being fired for it. Luckily I just paid rent and I'm going through the background check for Verizon currently but idk how I'm going to tell Candace. It won't go negatively on my background check (so they say) but I was already stressed about and not my blood pressure is through the roof. I've just been in a daze. I really don't know how I drove home. I want to drink but I'm afraid I'll get really angry or emotional. I've just been holding it in. I'm sorry I'm rambling guys but I just need to get this out and this is a safe place.

I've never been fired before. I fucked up....I really fucked up

I'm really pissed off reading this. You're taking blame for something you didn't do and it is so fucked up. You don't deserve that at all, Will. Holy shit. I am pissed.

Dude I feel more pissed and sad that I let Candace down more than anything else. This is such bullshit but I should've checked.

You're not letting anybody down and I'm sure she's going to tell you the sams exact thing. Bad things have to happen in order for better things to come along. It's all part of life and I'm always here for you.

Like Bladie and Bea said, you didn't let anyone down. Luckily, you have something else in the works that is going to be awesome. And most importantly you have someone that will be understanding and supportive. You guys will get through this and move on to better things. This sucks, but life is good!

This sucks. I'm sorry. But you didn't purposely do anything to get fired, and it sounds like they were just fishing for reasons ? It's a huge difference than someone just calling in everyday or just straight up not caring so you don't have any reason to feel bad about yourself.

Damn man, I'm super sorry to hear this.  I'll be wishing you the best.

 

Is everyone around here having crappy work situations.  Jhulud has had his ongoing issues.  Bruce's significant other just got let go.  You got canned.  

 

Yesterday I got put on notice and told "it'll be near impossible to see us keeping you here after this".  Eh thems the breaks when you willingly take complete responsibility for something that isn't completely your fault.

 

...but sincerely best of luck to VC jobless crew, in its ever expanding numbers.

Damn Will, I'm really sorry to hear that. That's a pretty shitty reason to let you go, since it was not directly your fault. I'm sure you'll get the Verizon job though, and won't have to worry about this anymore.
