The mash has less of a smokey smell than I expected but definitely very pungent.

It kills me that I routinely buy thousands of dollars worth of raw materials but that asking them to shell out less than 50 bucks for a pack of new lightbulbs so I can replace the one in the boil kettle is just way too expensive.

Maybe if those lazy lightbulbs actually generated some profit instead of costing me money I’d invest in some :colbert:

Working for a huge company is weird because ordering from "the list" is okay but anything that's not routinely purchased becomes a whole thing.

At my old job, one of the stores i worked at didn't have an indoor trash compacter so we had to take the trash outside to the dumpsters by hand. This involved dragging several big plastic trash cans across the parking lot, which quickly wore out the bottoms of the trash cans. My manager went to Lowes to buy new cans after the old ones were so worn through they were unusable. Before she left I suggested she get the kind with wheels that attach to the bottoms, because then we'd never wear them out. She came back without the wheels and told me that getting the wheels would have added an extra like $40 per can. BUT it wasn't even her money, it was going to be reimbursed by the company! But she probably thought it would look bad to spend that much on trash cans all at once, even though it would have saved money in the long run (and made the employees' jobs easier, but companies never care about that sort of thing).

After she transferred away from that store, we ended up creating makeshift wheels by dismantling various large floor displays we didn't need, and even crappy makeshift wheels made that chore so much better. Managers are stupid.

Yeah. It's even worse when it's management I pretty much never interact with at all. They're not even present at my workplace.

If I bug my direct manager he may be able to take care of it.

Every time I think about how much beer we could sell with a halfway competent restaurant manager and a bar manager who would do regular social media updates and actually promote the beer,. along with upper management that didn't require this place to run promotions for macros and poo poo like Zima I die a little inside.

Welp, I am dumb, I knew this and forgot:

"Then in 1941, Roosevelt and Congress made another, more final update, calling for Thanksgiving to be observed on the fourth Thursday of November."

Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday of November. It just so happens that this year, November has 5 Thursdays.

I love to travel for non-thanksgiving related purposes this week. Internationally. It's the best time to go to Rome, for example. Great rates, not busy, and the weather is still pretty good.

I spent last Thanksgiving at an all expense paid place in Cancun. 13 days in a Honeymoon sweet! It was so decadent I felt embarrassed at times.

Go for it! All the sights are mostly empty. I had the Vatican pretty much to myself for two days, it was amazing.

Another place I went to over Thanksgiving was Athens, and let me give a special shoutout to the island of Crete. Magical place.
