Maybe it was just because the tasty brioche sopped up all of the birria liquid when dunked in it, but yeah the tacos were a solid 8/10 but the sandwich I would pay $13 at a restaurant for

Something I'll def make again. Wouldn't mind trying some other stuff with the leftovers like some birria enchiladas or or chimiganga.

Yep, exactly. I view it like how I did all my buddies post college killing themselves to get into game Dev. Yeah if I loved Apple so much I'll just work less at a normal job, take home more money and buy all the apple garbage I want.

After a decade in game dev, I still like my job, but I'm maybe 10% the gamer I was back in college. It's just not the same as a hobby when I spend all day on it

The 40 hours thing is really just to guarantee a full paycheck even if like a machine breaks so you can't do your job you still get a full days pay.

I interviewed for a director level role at a pseudo start up in my industry (though it's got partners with some companies worth significant money). I'll find out soon if I get it but uh, not sure if I'm ready to be a director. I feel like I'll be found out as a fraud or something (plus I don't want to work more for a lot more money if I'm being honest with myself).

Also, there's a lot of ex military there, which I dunno how I feel about it.

Good luck to all the job-hunting folks out there! Honestly I sometimes wonder what the disconnect is, I have a very love-hate relationship with my job, but also feel no particular compulsion to try anything else. Like, more money would be nice, but I’ve zero interest in authority or advancement, I just want to get better at what I do. Admittedly part of it is I’ve been doing this for almost a decade and can’t really picture anything else, but I barely know what I’m doing as is, and could be doing it so much better!

It’s definitely a mixed bag. The higher level positions I’ve had are all insanely stressful and take more of my time than it’s worth in pay. Especially with startups. And yea as a veteran if a place has a lot of ex military I avoid it.

I don’t think they discover the frauds until VP level but by then it’s too late. At least I am hoping so

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Probably the main reason I didn't quit my job and try to become a mail carrier is because I have somewhat flexible hours, and I didn't want to lose that for more rigid hourly work. My job is cushy enough that I can work remote mostly when I want to, and if I need to take a few hours off in the middle of the day for a doctor's appointment for my kid, it's not an issue. Maybe in 10 years I'll work for the post office part-time or something until I'm ready for full retirement.

My cousin's getting married this weekend. Got a text from his mom last night that he has covid.

We're flying up there so my mom and I are discussing how we can safely attend the most events. (My proposal is skip the rehearsal dinner and reception, just go to the wedding where everything would be at a distance.) My sister just responds with "I don't want to miss anything".

Yeah our phones went off at like 1:24am. Loud as hell, screaming at us that there was a confirmed tornado over our town, a very small suburb of KC just in the Kansas side. So I got to deal with my MiL who isn’t from here coming out, and all the kids coming out of their rooms while I was finding the radar to let them know it was okay.

Hell of a first night home for baby girl.

That's a nightmare to go through but drat it's going to be good story to tell later on.

Yeah it was just a storm by the time it got around here, we just have some (well quite a few) twigs blown off of trees, not even anything you could call a branch really. But apparently the next neighborhood over--like 3 or 4 blocks away--had a bunch of downed tree limbs and the power went out all night (not sure if it's back or not). I don't think it was actually a tornado there either according to the Star but the winds must have died down quite a bit in like, a quarter of a mile or something between here and there. And that storm according to the late night weather guys was moving with authority and quickness.

Also I don't think I've said congrats, so congrats!

Speaking of not working 40 hours in a week, I've been totally locked out of the company network and our IT support is on the other side of the country, so I guess I'm on baby duty all morning until they get into the office and I can call them :sad:

E: much love and respect to all IT folks out there, but we switched to a new computer and network infrastructure back in August and it's been a huge pain in the rear end ever since then. I have three different sets of login credentials, two of which require two-factor authentication, and it starts logging you out of various network layers after 2-3 minutes. On the bright side, I get the occasional random outage that gives me a free half-day off.

In Arizona, it was made illegal for governments to destroy firearms, so if a municipality holds a buyback, they have to send the inventory to surplus property for sale.

The buybacks stopped, as was the intent of the legislature.
