I got a call at work from my brother telling me my Mom had passed unexpectedly. She had just turned 60. It was the strangest most surreal moment of my life and I didn't know how to react. I don't even remember driving home or really much other than the call. I was obviously sad for many reasons, but the worst was that she would not be here to see my kids grow. We hadn't even told her about our second that was on the way.
I like how they have people standing around to help when the self checkout inevitably fucks up and takes twice as long. Anything to save a buck while making the whole experience worse for everyone. At least some executive got their bonus though which is what's really important. HEB actually has a few where you just scan shit and toss it on the conveyor down to a bagger. Seems to be the most efficient option if you're going to eliminate jobs.
Gotcha. I agree that there is a right way and a wrong way to do lighting. Most people do it wrong. One house around the corner has about 150 under eave lights and it's lit up like a prison. I'd be raging if I lived across from them.
It seems like the pants need a stripe, but maybe that makes them look too much like a throwback. Also the old brand will always be superior. I can't complain though. I like these so much better than what we've been wearing.
Yeah it never went completely out. We had a transformer go down last week with the storm that blew through that left us without power for about 8 hours. Maybe this was a lingering issue there.
