  1. I manage a field team for my company, only 1 of the team worked in the office before the pandemic, the rest of us needed to hop a plane to get there so we were there sporadically at best. We are a team that is used to getting on airplanes, but it wasn't to hit the office, so all of us were good with this work from home thing. I think most of us are going stir crazy that we can't get onsite with customers anymore, and I am really missing getting face time with my team. I'm ready to get us together as soon as we're able, but it's more about the camaraderie than it is a need for us to be in person to get work done. Also, I'm ready to get the fuck out of my house for a few days. My company is going to be more flexible, some essential workers will still be at a desk 5 days a week, but most people, including most who had no flexibility at all before the pandemic, will work from home 2-3 days/week once we go back to the office. No one is going to be asked to go back to the office until at least July 5 no matter their role, though. I suspect my one team member that can commute to the office will go back to going in most days just because he can. I haven't had a regular desk in an office in 10 years now, even when I worked for an Austin based company, the biggest and hardest difference for me has been the lack of work travel. Sitting at home has gotten super old. I'm anxious for companies to start putting people back in their offices so that my team can start to go visit again. If everyone is working from home that's going to put a kink in those plans and I'm not ready to give up work travel just yet.
  2. I sat next to him at one of the Holiday Bowls years back. I hope he has learned to dress in clothes that should've been thrown away and that he has since found a shower. Because the guy I sat next to didn't meet those feeble qualifications. He did have a line of women lined up for his autograph for the half of the game he sat there. I think he went to the sidelines for the second half. Fucker didn't even know the rules of the game.
  3. I don't know who this is, but that's probably because I beat her out the door by 35 years. Also, I expect her leaving is a bigger deal than my leaving was. But that's not saying much.
  4. We all already knew you had a learning disability, no need to come right out and admit it.
  5. And Jerry's opinions have probably not moved more than an inch or 2 in that decade either. Having the exact same beliefs I have now (Minus the minority rights part) qualified me to be a pretty hard core conservative when I was 19. Today it makes me a liberal.
  6. Ted Cruz rails against the Mexicans for coming here, but expects aid and comfort from the Mexicans whenever a little snowstorm blows into town. Fuck outta here, bitch.
  7. Carpetbaggers couldn't cause this if we weren't busy voting them into office. So no. Texans can't tell the difference between a Texan and a caricature of a Texan. That's on us as Texans.
  8. Stay the fuck out of Brunei if you like to drink, also not much room to move around there. I quit paying attention to Phil Collins when he started doing disney songs. Didn't realize he'd gone tat/q crazy.
  9. Yeah before I found that HEB slot in Lockhart, I was absolutely planning to take a drive up to Midland and get it there, where they are having trouble finding people in any group to get it done. 10 hours in the car in two separate trips seemed like a small price to pay and I would've happily paid it had I not found something closer. But to LL's point. I am (and we are as a whole on this site) pretty fucking lucky that we're in a position where we can organize our lives around getting this stuff and we have the technological know how to make it happen. There are a whole bunch of people who don't.
  10. Jimmy, my asthma is well controlled. I use a rescue inhaler like 3x a year. My asthma doctor still gave me a note. And no one asked anyway....
  11. wait, those last 2 don't make sense. 1) If situation warrants you can have further restrictions, but 2) you can't hold people accountable who refuse to follow those further restrictions. Fuck you Abbott. Also, I got my first shot last Thursday at HEB. I have had asthma since childhood so am in 1B. I took my medicine and a doctor's note with me in case they asked but they didn't. Also figured out that they don't care where you are coming from as long as you make your appointment. THere were none in Austin, and there was one in Waco that got filled before I could snag a time. I hit refresh and found one in Lockhart and snagged that one. They also auto-book the second shot while you are getting your first shot so no concerns like you can see with Austin Public Health and their super messy process.
  12. So I can put you down for being a blinder, not a blindee. Got it. It's nice to show some versatility, but I get that some people like their ruts.
  13. LOL "That video was meant to make fun of white nationalists, but I'm not going to confirm or deny if that's my client." LOLOLOLOL If it's some rando who is not your client, how do you know the intent of the video genius?
  14. They were blinded by the (D). Because for most people it no longer has to do with their pocketbooks. Let's be real, if you are saving for your future, it doesn't really matter who is in charge, the general direction is up over time and has been for most of our lifetimes. There is a blip here and there, but recovery comes relatively quickly, and as long as that blip doesn't get you right when you are about to retire, it hasn't been that big of a deal. Because of that, it's not really about the pocketbook anymore, it's just what people who have picked the R team have been taught to say to justify why they vote R. That's it. It's not truth and reality, its talking points for the fandom that is important here. Not else matters. That's why the Dems need better talking points, and until they have them, this isn't getting better. And by the way, there are much much better ways to get blinded by the D, I'd love it if they'd put down the pom poms and try that instead.
  15. Pre-COVID I know that CPAC was always a big deal for the gay rentboys.
  16. Al Green? I heard he threw out a good bit of gay projection during this speech as well. I'm not going to watch it to find out just how graphic he got in describing gay sex, but I hear it was gross, as is everything related to Ted Cruz.
  17. Can you imagine being so fucking obstinate about helping out your fellow man that you'd be willing to go to prison for years for pretending to be something you aren't in a ploy to exempt yourself from helping out your fellow man? I just don't understand how their minds work. Oh also, I'm against penis stealing, FWIW. Guess that means I'm not a leftist.
  18. I've told this story before, but my mom used to send me the FW:FW:FW: emails. I started hitting reply all and inserting the Snopes article to help my older relatives better discern the facts of a situation, and I'd even write my own response to go with it. I only did it 3 times. I only did it 3 times not because they started coming back to reality, but instead because they didn't want to be told they were wrong, so she quit including me. My biggest concern is that we are living with a bunch of people who have completely checked out from reality and are just not open to coming back, and that those people are going to take this view of needing a revolution and starting a civil war over a bunch of shit that is completely not true. I have no idea how we're going to avoid this eventuality, but I know if we don't figure it out, it's coming.
  19. That’s actually public record. United let’s you check flight status on all flights and upgrade list is included, you see the poor sob’s that haven’t gotten an upgrade yet until the flight takes off. I bet it’s about the 6 am rebook. That’s the one that wouldn’t be public.
  20. Yeah, no shit involved. Might have been some semen left over. I expect they washed out the tub before the next baptism though.
  21. yeah even that narcissist Trump went to Puerto Rico because he thought he needed to be seen "helping." His idea of helping was shooting paper towels out of a t-shirt cannon, but he at least showed up. When you can't even rise to the level that Trump did, you have serious serious problems.
  22. Did you just out a sock or are you still so drunk you can't tell that's a different username?
