No cowboy boots or dress shoes for me.
I wore Merrell low hiking shoes. Better walking shoe.

The new job has two break rooms, unofficially called “introverts” and “extroverts.”

Guess which one I use?

Are there physical differences between the two rooms that might draw one type of person vs the other?

Real introverts eat at their desk with the door closed or in their car.

Have you heard of this book & want to read it ?

One has windows and a big table. The other is interior and has a book exchange and a couple small tables.

Both have fridges, microwaves, coffee, etc.

Let us guess, the one that's interior with the book exchange is the introvert room, and the big table where everyone can sit around and chitchat is the extrovert room

Slowest pace since 2008... although I wonder how much of that is due to the downtime the site had this year?

Let us guess, the one that's interior with the book exchange is the introvert room, and the big table where everyone can sit around and chitchat is the extrovert room

All you need for that two-table room to be truly attractive as an introvert's break room is a wall sign that says;

"Occupancy Limit, 2 Persons"

A friend of ours told us they went to a mexican restaurant that was recommended to them over the weekend. They said it didn't serve alcohol, which they didn't know about until after seated.

I questioned "no margaritas?" They said none.

My response was the only mexican restaurant that I know of that doesn't serve margaritas is called Taco Bell.

Now you know of two that don't serve margaritas.

 

[joscoffee]

At least around here Taco Bell sometimes/illegally offers little tequila shooters with your frozen baja blast.

Calling Taco Bell a Mexican restaurant is like calling Panda Express a Chinese restaurant.

I hear you. I much prefer the good solid fare they offer at that Scottish restaurant, McDonalds

There are actually some Taco Bells that do serve alcohol - look for a Taco Bell Cantina.

Pre-pandemic there were plans to open a couple of them here in Southeast Michigan, particularly in areas with a bit of nightlife and nighttime foot traffic but they ended up scrapping the plans.

IIRC, the one that was going to go into Royal Oak, MI got as far as building permits and obtaining their liquor license, but sadly it never came to fruition.

Sadly?

Fortunately.

Ain't no one buying alcohol from Taco Bell. They water down the food. I'd hate to see what they do with the booze.

 

[dandy_warhol]

I had Taco Bell for lunch. Yay. I had 10 minutes and had to choose between peeing or eating lunch at 2pm. Somehow Taco Bell won that Sophie's choice.

A pair of my daughters and their friends really like the Taco Bell Cantina in Las Vegas when they go, so maybe the boooze and food....no. Come to think of it, they are all probably waaaay past having credible opinions by the time they get to the Vegas Taco Bell Cantina.

Make good choices, folks.

National Park Service LEGO Vignettes FB posting

Enough was enough! The Section 106 and NEPA compliance took some time to get in order, but with that done everything was now good to go. The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch would finally put an end to the park’s problematic rabbit by blowing it to tiny bits. One… Two…. Five! #FindYourHolyHandGrenade

Heinz is littering reddit with ads saying that ketchup should be used on breakfast in an attempt to increase their market. Every time I see one of those ads I die a little inside.
