there’s a very hungry hawk patrolling Church Hill. It nabbed all the squirrels on my block then took one of the cardinals that frequented my yard. hopefully this squirrel doesn’t stay out in the open.

It's cool, I am one but with a 540, so I just try to keep my head down and not get say anything somebody from out of town would say.

::sigh:: must be that time of year again, lol.

That's so weird

Ended up chasing the guy that night in my boxers. But in the rush to get down there forgot to grab my glasses and lost him down cleveland. She’s the sweetest.

That’s all up to you. Just like any other bar you’ve ever been to.

I do the holiday decor at Bookbinders restaurant and it’s dressed to the nines for Christmas!

Tobacco co

I swim 3x a week at 5:30-7ish PM at Cary St. I rarely have to share a lane.

I prev went to Downtown Y and JCC and at both, you have to book a lane. Not worth it.

This Thanksgiving I found out my uncle’s dad served in WWII.

I figured he saw some action in the European theater or something, but it turns out he was stationed for R&R on a Moroccan beach far from any battles.

Whenever people would ask what he did during the time he served in the war, he would say “nothing, really.”

It’s always the ones who had the roughest time who want to talk about it the least.

Good to know, hoping to get there when they play Iran but work makes it hard to get there at 2.

Was in there Monday for the USA game. They are decorated with lights and what not all over.

Same shit as last night, they seemed pissed. All 3 of them…

Birdies

I worked for a temp agency I'm DC years ago. I was hired out for a week to cover phones at an apt rental agency while they were in court being sued (talk about a red flag). Since no one ever called, I read a book. This made them mad, even though there were no other jobs they would let me do, so they refused to pay the temp agency.

Thankfully, the temp agency took my side. An assignment or 2 later, I worked somewhere long enough to get hired.

Thank you for this suggestion!

@rvamoonmarket at some point mid-Dec but they haven’t posted about it yet

Many years ago, I was in my late twenties, and finally got a job after 18 months of unemployment and in recovery from addiction.

The job was in a fancy building and required business casual clothing. It took me awhile to get on my feet, I was always short in money.

Anyway, this was in the early 2000's so email was still big mode of personal communication, and I decided to send a quick email to my dad to ask for some money to buy pants. I did this from my work email, which I have done many times before.

My dad and my boss have verrrry similar names.

So, I get a response back from my boss that just says "what"

I do not embarass easily, but my heart and my stomach switched places. It was mortifying. Even my co worker who didnt have a big sense of humor was crying laughing at me.

I hope this made you feel a little better! Im so sorry you were laid off and I hope you find something awesome right away.

Looks like babes had supplies out not sure what it will look like

I just saw that this will be the last year for Mr. Christmas on Wistar!

The lights are great and the RTD article mentions he has raised over $175k for the Virginia Home for Boys and Girls with the donations he’s gathered from those of us who have enjoyed his displays.

Man, I am double making sure we do this now.

Lucky you....that's a fairly rare situation to have, but a good one.

plus its always snowing in the bathroom

Thank you so much!!

I do temp work because at some point I’m planning to go back to college for my four year degree. (At this point probably next fall.) (I turned down a temp to perm job because of that and I never stay at jobs for long)
