Anyone else waiting at home patiently so they can have the AC guy tell them that their blower motor isn’t working? If it wasn’t only two years old and under warranty I would have just done it myself, wouldn’t I?

Isn’t that sort of thinking why I am waffling about it?

Consider telling them it’s not enough money., if they come back right away with triple your salary would that mean something weird is up?

Aren’t you much more direct than I am (and therefore, give better advice)??!!

Anyone else drive 350 miles before lunch?
(Never realized before how unforgiving that seat is!)

Well, did you know not many are aware the lighting industry had a huge upsurge in people for the various buildings that were going up? You couldn’t have known I ended up knowing a lot of people going over there before 2008 only to come back in 2010 and all said they regret it, would you?

Doesn’t that make a lot of sense?
Now aren’t I wondering why the people I know who’ve done the same thing (in Kuwait or other Middle Eastern countries) are all engineers, since that’s not my industry at all?

Not today, but didn’t I used to drive 400 miles at once, with stops for gas and toilets along the way, on a regular basis? Wouldn’t I find it uncomfortable to try to do that now?

Wasn’t my only stop when I got there, during which time I walked quickly a total of 3 miles (there and back and there again between buildings on opposite sides of the campus) and used the toilet twice (once when we got there and once again just before leaving, because that’s always a GOOD IDEA)? And didn’t I only go through less than a half tank, so no stops at a gas station were required? And so wasn’t that a total of 6 hours (out of 7) sitting down on what turned out to be a much harder seat that it seems during shorter jaunts? Don’t I wonder how I used to do those long drives when younger, too?

How am I supposed to tell when my Kindle is finished charging? Why don’t things come with proper instructions anymore?

Haven’t I easily done that while on a road trip? Especially if there are goodies like twizzlers in the car?

Did anyone know it’s Nettie Stevens Day?
Isn’t Vox’s headline perfect?
Nettie Stevens discovered XY sex chromosomes. She didn’t get credit because she had two X’s.

Does anyone else feel guilty right now when they stay away from Facebook because they’re sick of the assholes on there and then they realize that minorities can’t just “stay away” from it because it’s there all the goddamned time?
I feel really shitty about my white dude privilege right now and even worse that it’s taken me this long to see it in front of me, anyone else?

Isn’t it good that you realize your privilege? Wouldn’t it make you feel somewhat better to share that knowledge when you can and call out racism when you see it and to continue to work for whatever small bit of change you can, even if that’s only your corner of the world?

Don’t I sometimes feel that way because of family and friends there but just can’t make myself create an account simply because of all the BS that happens on it?

Isn’t it annoying that when you don’t have a FB account, you get left out, as if there is literally no other way to get in touch with you, as if a phone call or email is somehow out of the question, or god forbid a letter?

Or what do you think about a WhatsApp group? Not in it? No pictures of birdsday parties. Sportingday, day out. Invitations to other stuff to do with the kids.
I’m thinking about using an old phone, with a separate (other number) sim card to join,what do you think?

So… all those teens/young adults prowling around the park/library/parking lot yesterday afternoon and staring at their phones… were they playing the pokemon game or something?

Could you guess I’m not on it? Can you guess I don’t haven extra phone? Can I say that people should do what they’re comfortable with?
