First!
I kinda miss the blog days.
I’m not sure I’m ever going to get used to LA traffic. Hell, I don’t even experience the worst of it because it keeps me from leaving my little enclave. 25 mins to go 3-4 miles is good. fuck.
Nuke it from orbit, only way to be sure
MizGit 1 sounded way warmer than this sterile POS. I’m out.
Gitmode FTW!
Has part 2 lost its focus?
Slept through the whole thing
It’s not the same as it used to be
Too much capitalism
Still miserable after aaaaaaaall these years.
Congrats on the sequel ![]()
It’s about 3 in the morning here and I’m definitely gonna sleep on the sofa.
Long talk. Harsh words said. Nothing much resolved. A glass of cold vodka to ease the pain. One of those nights. How’s that for fucking miserable?
On the upside, I have a huge bowl of egg salad in the fridge that I made from leftover Easter eggs. Tomorrow is going to be fun. And filled with smelly smells that smell smelly.
It’s my revenge on the elderly cats around here, with all their sneaky elderly cat farts. Oh, I’m sorry, did I just toot on you for a change? Not so funny now, is it, you little fucker?
COB update on my resignation. They are trying to guilt trip me into taking the secondment that covers the 2 dads on maternity leave. Actually wrote that I’m pulling a stunt that’s worse than bailing out if it was mums on leave.
Glad I resigned. Didn’t respond yet but fuck them if I’m going to grace that department ever again with my epic presence.
Thats bizarre. If you already handed in your resignation why the fuck are they trying to get you back? Loosers. You resigned for a fucking reason.
Laugh and chill now mate. Find another job innit.
Aren’t Easter eggs made of chocolate in your country?
Ow man, hope you make it through.
Fuck crackles in relationships.
I admit I had to look that term up. ![]()
But yeah, fuck 'em. Hope you find something better soon. I’ve been there. Most of us have been there. Tons of the usual work BS. Did everything I could to make it work, but nope. No dice.
2 years later. I still find myself clenching my jaw and muttering about my old employer and all the bullshit. Life is too short. Find somewhere else to work and leave it all behind. Success is the best revenge, truly.
Thank you for the kind wishes. Sincerely.
Yes, we have chocolate Easter eggs and rabbits, weird candy Easter eggs, plastic eggs with small candies inside, jelly beans, and tons of other weird sugary stuff.
But some of us old timers have always kept up the tradition of dyeing actual chicken eggs in strange pastel colors and then hiding them in the yard. The kids, of all ages, go out and try to find them, and collect them in straw baskets. Hell, I remember doing this in my twenties, just for fun and nostalgia.
And then we’re left with dozens of oddly colored boiled eggs. What do you do with all those eggs?
It’s usually a weird mix of eating the eggs straight up with salt & pepper, or making a large batch of egg salad for sandwiches. The consequences of such a large and sudden intake of boiled eggs never ends well, lol.
I remember my mum emptying the fresh eggs with a tiny hole and painting them.
Then she would make a huge omelette ![]()
Thank for reminding these memories from last century ^^
Ah, yes! Some people here used to do that as well. Although I haven’t thought of that, or heard of it, in years. Both of my wife’s grandmother’s used to do that - the hole in the egg, draining it, and then dyeing or painting the shell. It would then be part of a decorative display.
I’m betting the French omelette is a way better end result than whatever our US grannies did with theirs. Put some onion and good cheese in there… awww yeah.
