I love Bill Murray and Groundhog Day is a great movie. That commercial is also great.

Holy gently caress! One of our engineers has a huge scar on his face from a wire whip years ago, it makes me want to wear a welding helmet every day.

More work stuff: we had a dude with a super long gross beard and it got caught in a machine and he lost a little of it. So Safety comes down and after the investigation they told him he had to shave it down and wear a beard net. This was an assault on that dude's personal style so he quit and I heard he's back a his old job, Hot Topic. Can you imagine being such a dumbass that you'd walk on a solid job with amazing benefits in favor of your goddamned facial hair?

When I worked at the print facility one of my friends had a beard that was literally several feet long and he operated a machine that was basically 100% designed to grab hair and rip it off people. His way of dealing with it was to braid it into a bun that sat tight to his chin while at work. He'd pull the braid apart as soon as a shift was over.

Good for you, STR. I honestly figured your relationship was gonna end in one of two ways and am glad my prediction of a little STR being the more likely of the two was wrong.

So my boss came up to me today. (the good guy boss - he's back from medical leave; rear end in a top hat grocery boss got shipped off to another store over sexual harassment)

"Hey, I just posted a full time overnight stocker position. I want you to apply for it."

rear end in a top hat grocery boss had promised me "full time status within 3 months" when I got hired (along with several other people), but of course claimed he never said that. I've been rattling cages about wanting FT status. I automatically get medical insurance after 1 year if I average 32+ hours a week, along with vacation (and I already have their 401k), but I want the rest. Plus I didn't like being lied to by previous boss.

I'm also up for a raise this month. Yay!

e: I should point out I've mostly worked 40+ hour weeks since I started. I was at 38 when I clocked out today, and I work tonight.

Nice, glad things are looking up for you.

I don't know why a dude who has clearly been a republican piece of poo poo his entire life is suddenly being allowed to run as a democrat.

Because the prospective candidates all had to sign an agreement stating they would run a Democrat regime.
