Yaaay? So, I guess, how're you doing, then?

I'm okay. struggling with over eating. the super bowl party at a local bar was great but the bartender was dragging me for having a few plates. it's fucked up she was bitching about not having enough people there and all the food. last year it was packed, this year it was dead. idk why.

I hit the point of being old where cholesterol is starting to become a problem. they offered me meds and I said no thanks. also metamusal (sp?)

last night was so shit I checked out before half time and hung out in my car in the food Lion parking lot on my phone. I was going to drive tonight but fugit, PBR is 5 for a 4 pack and no one at work gives a shit. I need a new job

It does sound like you do. Like, the work has seemed fulfilling for you, but the workplace is, uh, a nightmare

exactly! when I delivered food it was so humiliating to say "wife if a vet, I do takeout" but "wife is a vet, I do chemical baths to grow cells in a lab" it's perfect. and I love working on engineering stuff, like, solve problems, wrench in hand. it's the best

but my boss is fucking nuts. they spent 200k on a machine to automate the chemistry and just now realized it won't do other chemicals since I have to reclaim them.

and btw I've gotten a beer during my lunch break before back at LabCorp. it was pandemic times and I had a mask on, so if you could smell my breath you're nose is showing. ha! get fuck Tiffany, sorry, I mean tbegmcin

Yeaaah. It's the weird spot where you care about the work but the higher-ups either don't, or don't have the perspective and it keeps screwing them? From what it looks like from here

the latest thing is that the jig we sent off to make membranes is wrong, they don't fit. boss thinks the problem is me sitting down to do assembly. like, THE most boomer take

Fffffffff

What we need is a virtual Waffle House

Get some hash browns smothered peppered topped and just sit in voice chat and shoot the shit.

fuck I miss waffle house, but the one in mebane is garbage. btw, they're building a buckees off exit 152. weirdly, I'm hype for it. also, I finally went to the red oak brewery, the one past Burlington everyone drives by. I went w my brother in law. best brat I've had this side of london

Oh wow! Yeah, I used to visit a Judo school up that way, and, like, we were right there, but even when we'd do the big seminars, and then you release 20-30 hungry black belts onto some poor restaurant, for some reason we skipped over that place.

okay, it's evenings only but they have their own booth with like. the good mustard and onion for their hot dogs. and there's usually a food truck. it's where I found that lobster roll place

but yeah, I will always be a red oak fan #fortommy
