My wife wants me to sit in the living room with her so we can watch shows together. Never mind the fact that she's playing some dumb game on her phone or laptop the whole time. She just wants me in there, like a dog or something. No thanks, I'll chill in the study.

What if we don't want to go out and eat with the rest of you?
I bring my lunch and eat at my desk. Also, I don't want to lose my parking spot.

I wonder if the coffee pots are next on the hit list?
QuoteNew city tech workers dreaming of dining in workplace cafeterias may soon face a harsh reality — going outside.
Two city legislators on Tuesday are expected to announce legislation banning on-site workplace cafeterias in an effort to promote and support local restaurants.
The measure, proposed by Supervisor Ahsha Safai and co-sponsored by Supervisor Aaron Peskin, would adjust zoning laws to ban workplace cafeterias moving forward, but would not be retroactive.
Peskin said the measure, was inspired by tech companies like Twitter and Airbnb, which are widely known to have access to dining in their own buildings, depriving nearby restaurants of the dollars usually spent by nearby workers. The measure has the support of Gwyneth Borden, executive director of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association and other local merchants.
Under the legislation which is expected to be introduced Tuesday, “you can’t have an industrial kitchen in your office building,” Peskin said.
Peskin said the legislation sought to avoid the “Amazon effect that impacts retail and restaurants across the county,” he said. “This is forward thinking legislation.”
San Francisco is not the first city to implement such a measure. Mountain View, home to Google’s headquarters, has prohibited the company from fully subsidizing employee meals at new office locations, in an effort to encourage employees to engage with the community and local businesses, the San Francisco Chronicle has reported.
Peskin said the measure was purposefully made not retroactive “so it’s not goring anybody’s ox.”
But, Peskin said, it’s a hope to mitigate the “app culture” of workers who are whisked away in private commuter shuttles to work, who dine in their places of employment, and see all their goods delivered to them by apps — depriving them the pleasure of mingling with the rest of The City.
“People will have to go out and eat lunch with the rest of us,” he said.
Supervisors Safai and Peskin and supporters will gather at The Perennial at 59 9th Street to discuss the legislation Tuesday at 12:45 p.m.
Supervisor Safai did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

I'll be that guy. If there are instructions that are regularly being ignored or misunderstood such as the county vs country issue, the problem is in the communication.
If it's a paper form, something as simple as: county (e.g. Orange County) would clear it up, especially if it's something localized so you can use an easily recognizable example.
If it's web based, there's no reason it couldnt be a drop down menu for the counties or something that automatically fills it out.
You'll never filter out all the mistaken responses, but if it's a regular problem, it's on your end. If you expect the general public to ever know what they're doing with things they rarely do, you're bound to be frustrated.
Counterpoint: I live and work in Oklahoma.

No but it does have a cumulative effect.

Why can't people actually read shit? I don't mean books and screenplays, I mean shit that they need to fill out, sign and turn in to someone. I can't even count how many forms I see at work every day where the sender either flat didn't read it or they're too stupid to comprehend what they read. And this isn't some required bureaucratic government bullshit forms, this is crap that these people are doing voluntarily.
The form asks for the complete residential address, including your county. I never knew so many motherfuckers lived in "USA" county. The form is labeled "No PO Box will be accepted", so of course people scribble in a PO box and get pissed when they get their form back in the mail. Here's a phone call about our website that I get multiple times per day: "It says to type my name and email address to continue. What do I do now?". And a hearty fuck you to people that don't have the necessary info we need and when asked for it, just shrug and say "I dunno". How about you prepare yourself before you call or show up and act like you needed this yesterday?
Slow down and read shit before you fill it out, assholes.

My great grandfather came over from Greece, so this hits close to my ancestral home.

My dad was in the Air Force, so I went to DOD schools when we were overseas, which was a lot. It was pretty much just blacks and whites, I don't think I saw more than 3-4 Hispanic kids. Hell, I didn't know what "Hispanic" was anyway, so maybe there were more and I just didn't know.
I never saw any racism growing up, from either side. Kids would fight but it was because they had a beef. I never heard anyone say the N-word out loud until we came back from Germany in 1986, visiting my mom's folks and my grandfather said it. My mom almost had a cow. Her dad wasn't the greatest dude. Then my dad got stationed in Oklahoma and I heard it all the time.

Never done this... just had cold pizza from box for lunch. Is there a major difference to what i'm doing wrong here?
It's subjective, of course, but I hate dried out pizza. If I wanted flavored jerky, I'd go to 7-11.

Here's a surprisingly great update: I have had issues with my job for years, specifically that my pay is too low. I argued with more than one supervisor (not in a rude way) but never got anywhere. I work for the state and getting a raise is near impossible. After going to therapy for my anger issues (and talking with you fine fuckers), I realized it's all just bullshit and I need to quit wasting my time dwelling on it. I can't control that, I can only control my own feelings. So I moved on, let go of the frustration and just did my job. I even started to like it. Well, today I got called into the office. Our office did a market adjustment, in comparison to the private sector, and I got a fat bump (not near Surly 1% but good for a state flunky). More than I could've ever thought was possible. I almost cried when my boss told me that I earned it, due to my performance. Fucking A.

Just kidding, it's 108 according to my phone. I've yet to venture outside today. I'm supposed to take my wife to dinner for her birthday. Fuck.

My one-handed boss made a surprise visit yesterday. Thank God I was on the phone and didn't make myself look like an idiot again.

Holder said Gundy was great, he would just like to see us recruit better. I think that's a sentiment that's shared by most of the fan base. I think it's ridiculous that we won the conference and then got the 40th or something recruiting class. I'm not saying he needs to have a top 10 class every year, but he can't get top 20-25?
And people forget that Holder is an 8 time NCAA champion coach. He probably looks at shit a lot differently than a fan would. My only gripes about Holder are ticket prices and the Ford contract.

i am fascinated by one where the son had his best buddy kill his parents and sibling(s) after coming home from a dinner, shooting the suspect in the arm to make him look innocent too.That was in a Houston suburb in the 1990s.
I just saw that one too. That kid was a prick.

When you try to pull a single page from a stack of papers inside an accordion folder and you can't quite get it, you try like hell to separate the 2 pages...then realize it was just one page that felt like 2 stuck together.

I just watched one of those forensic shows about a quadruple homicide in Houston, so this hits close to home.

The grad transfer QB from Hawaii should be here this week. I'm curious if he'll be able to win the starting job. Gundy's track record for choosing a starter is spotty at best. Fucking Alex Cate.
