Just bought a new Speed Queen dryer (DR5003WE) from Greentoe. More than what Costco is but from what everything I read, these are built to last like commercial dryers and that's exactly what I want. Plain dials, set it and forget it.

drat, I didn’t know they sold Speed Queens to the public. At least I know what brand I’m getting next.

I got a gas Speed Queen from this local guy and it is the one appliance in my house that I feel proud of. It is a beast.

Yeah, from what I’m reading they’re pretty much the same machines, just minus coin boxes and such. We’ve tried fixing our dryer three times, it’s had a good life, but I’m hoping this new dryer lasts for years and years.

So I made an appointment to meet with my boss today to discuss the overall make up of my department which hws gone from 6 staff to just 3 and my workload which has obviously doubled meaning I'm not managing a thing just doing admin and grunt work and soul crushing poo poo I don't want to do.

And

He decided not to show up this morning deciding instead to go visit clients. But he's also asked me to inform my team there's now a blanket ban on overtime.

I also got an email from middle management pissing and moaning at me for following procedure which made their lives slightly harder and instead of defending me, my boss who was looped into the email asked me to keep him informed of my justification as well.

So I am spending my day arguing to ensure my staff get paid and continue to get their OT and ignoring everything else.

re: roundabouts, roundabout chat always makes me put on Yes: Roundabout

re: pet cancer, just be aware that your assumptions about how rough chemo is are based on human chemo. Our cat for example, went downhill very fast from her lymphoma, but we were fully prepared to put her on chemo after it was explained to us that cats tolerate it far better than humans, they don't lose their hair, you can treat nausea pretty easily, etc. Obviously for a 17 year old cat where the prognosis is like maybe +2 months, you probably just don't bother. I just wanted people to know, because vets don't always fully explain this stuff.

Somehow they're not coming to Chicago, not even close to Chicago. I guess glad I saw Postal Service about 5 years ago. Maybe you could buy some on the secondary market, if you don't care about paying out the nose.

Pain of Mind posted:

Having a 3 day weekend is nice, was able to spend Saturday and Sunday cleaning, and still a day to bask in a clean house.

In sort of a catch-22 situation with my 14 year old dog, where she should probably get to the vet at some point since her health is slowly declining, but she has enough pep where you cannot comfortably commit to getting her euthanized. She had bloodwork as a prerequisite for a teeth cleaning, and they said she was not healthy enough to get anesthesia due to liver issues, with a thought that she might have liver cancer and they wanted to give her an MRI and do a bunch more bloodwork to confirm that diagnosis. We declined, because even if she had cancer we were not going to put a 14 year old dog through chemo/surgery. It feels like she is too healthy to put down, but not healthy enough to try and fix anything. I am assuming whenever the next vet appointment is will be the last one, but it feels so ... discretionary, like we get to choose when we get rid of her.

My boy Bandit, who is ten, had abnormally high liver enzymes (I will have to look up which ones). I was scared because the doctor mentioned the possibility of liver cancer. Well, it turned out after doing some more thorough bloodwork that it was treatable with a dietary change and a milk thistle (iirc) supplement. It eventually dropped his numbers back down to the point where he's eating his regular food again. He still takes the supplement, but he's doing fine. I suggest you do the bloodwork at the very least just in case its treatable. You never know!

Death Cab and Ben Gibbard solo have played Riot Fest a handful of times. Wouldn't be surprised if it's Pitchfork, but with the way they've been booking lately I'd still expect Riot Fest.
