Had several people tell at work tell me they were turned down for door dash based on either driving or criminal record. One guy just had speeding and something else a couple times and he was turned down. It wasn't anything really serious.

I'm slowly starting to realize that i probably won't even qualify to door dash under my own license or name... I am wondering about the other apps and how strict they are now. One thing i hate about the modern world is that there's always paper trail and you can't just pick up and move to a new town and reinvent yourself perhaps to some type of doctor for horses or a country lawyer...

She said I could have come in the office to show my face if I was well enough to work and when I said “I was symptomatic” she cut me off to say we no longer screen for covid so that shouldn’t have been an issue. Like bitch, germs didn’t go away just because the city council decided covid was over. Ffs.

I’m also in a place between being over-qualified for entry level jobs but under-educated for everything that would be a step up on the quality of job and pay rate.

See this is where I like to show dedicated unconcern. Treat your manager and their questions just like if they were a normal co-worker and never show any reaction to their scrutiny. For advanced ****ery throw in just a dash of visible confusion as to why they're so worked up about whatever you've done to drive them up the wall, and when you know and they know you're responsible for something just admit it without spin or emotion. That one really throws them off.

No one remembers all the crimes Stalin did before the revolution, comrade. And he did a lot of crimes.

Dear friends, I have INCREDIBLE NEWS!

You may recall my recently publishing the internet's first-ever artist spotlight of Seattle-based ambient composer, Terminus Void. I had encouraged the artist to send a promo of his album to the world's longest-running space music program, Hearts of Space. He thanked me and followed my suggestion, and he directly linked the show's host to my blog.

I'm now thrilled to share that this week, his work was featured on the latest transmission #1314, providing him exposure to a global audience on the most popular syndicated space music program in the world!

You can read my article and listen to Terminus Void on my music journal here. I have unequivocally made a profound impact on the world of ambient music with this piece. This is such an honor! <3

this inflation is a mofo Biden sucks ass !!!! everything cost more money why ..????? WTH ..????

rostasi 04-02-2022 08:28 PM

You do know that inflation is a worldwide problem, right?

Trollheart 04-02-2022 08:53 PM

The only inflation norg understands is the one that pumps up bouncy castles.

Plankton 04-03-2022 06:26 AM

^ Very cool ISB!

Today I'm heading out to carve some new fairways into our DG clubs home course. This course was created in 1984 and I've been working with the original creator/designer on the redesign. The park district is also on board and is looking to install a large playground that will be integrated into the overall design and they've been allocated quite a large sum of money to do this. They're hoping for a grand opening type of thing by Labor Day. This speaks volumes for the level of growth in popularity for Disc Golf, as in previous years they were considering tearing the entire course up.

We've already installed all the tee sign posts and put a good dent in the new fairways yesterday but there's lots more to go.

Ibuprofen to the rescue.

You got a headache?
Speaking of which, any chance of helping me get rid of this god-damn popup any time soon? Please?

Mindfulness 04-03-2022 08:32 PM

Been working on my crypto/web3 book recently again, 46 pages deep. Probably sell for just $3.33 on amazon digital.
Going to print up copies too, not much because that shi t costs a lot. The goal is to explain crypto and everything about it at the level of understanding everyone can understand, to the best of my knowledge.

It's a journal of my experience, so just more thought reading crap.

I been journaling with ink and paper also.

I did send you a PM a couple of weeks ago, but there was never any follow up so I thought you figured it out.

Plankton 04-04-2022 07:45 AM

Pics:

Showing up to the site. It was a perfect day for it:

Old playground removed by the PD:
https://i.imgur.com/EdcKVXO.jpg?1

Carving a new fairway for hole 12.
I wish I'd have thought to take a before pic.
Here's progress at about 40-50% completion.
It was completely overgrown with absolutely
no way in, but I cleared it before my help arrived.
The pink tape was our guideline for cutting:
https://i.imgur.com/lEySXOz.jpg?1

Cut and drag into piles for the PD to clean up with a chipper this week:
https://i.imgur.com/aLEIWwK.jpg?1

The roughed in fairway. I'm standing at the edge
of where the tee pad will be. The basket will be
way in the back where that large tree is thats
barely visible, which is dead and needs to be stumped
to about 24" and then the basket will be mounted in
the stump for a bit of an elevated putt. This will be
the new Hole 12, 280 FT, with a Double Mando and slightly up hill:
https://i.imgur.com/QHEgdHN.jpg?1

It was fun to get out with my old pal Jimmy.
We put a couple of other courses in years ago,
so we work well together. We knocked that
out in about 4 hours.

Yes, I'm writing this in the style of rostasi.

Plankton 04-04-2022 08:35 AM

Here's the concept for anyone following along:

Cool photos Plankton, looks like a big project

Plankton 04-04-2022 08:50 AM

Thanks Mindy. Not as large as starting from scratch, but there's still quite a bit to do.

Trollheart 04-04-2022 09:19 AM

No, the last PM you sent me said something along the lines of give me time to settle in at work and I'll get back to you. I didn't reply because what would I be saying, just like okay thanks? Anyway no: it's still there, lurking like some demonic blue grinning phantom in the bottom right-hand corner, so if you can make the time I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Plankton 04-04-2022 09:44 AM

Well, I've settled in, so there's that.

Plankton ain't nobody's bitch.

robhr 04-04-2022 05:33 PM

It was going okay but then I learned the cat shelter I used to volunteer at is closing down.

I did write a bit of an outline for a short story, now I just need an ending.

Other than that I pretty much just sat around.

Frownland 04-04-2022 05:42 PM

Did you kill off your protagonist yet? Do that.

I do that so much already I have to keep him alive this time.

Have him found a cult.

I’ve already done that too. Well I’m working on one like that but I haven’t finished it yet.

The Batlord 04-04-2022 07:02 PM

Have him sail across the world searching for gold he buried in previous lives.

My bad, from the outside it seemed like you assigned a task to someone who is your bitch and were a little annoyed that they weren't getting around to doing it. Or maybe I'm just reading everything through corporate glasses. That "thanks" at the end of the message is a classic of corporate passive-aggression.

Trollheart 04-05-2022 02:41 PM

Nah, thanks is just good manners. I woz taught that by me mum. :)

Good day, around beer number a sixth or fifth and hit from the joint about six. Playing poker with my buddies… Tied for victory on the first game, blew the second and am currently wasting time waiting for the third.

robhr 04-10-2022 03:07 AM

Did alright.

robhr 04-11-2022 01:09 PM

I thought I was being so careful with that drunk post but still a little incoherent.

Plankton 04-13-2022 08:21 AM

I've been getting my taxes in order and have been corresponding with a tax accountant through emails and today I started out the email by calling her Karen. Her name is Katherine. I am so screwed.

rubber soul 04-13-2022 09:06 AM

I have to salute the genius who decided that all whiny priviliged white women must be named Karen. I'm sure the majority of women named Karen, who I'm sure are perfectly nice people, must be thrilled.

Plankton 04-13-2022 09:26 AM

She got back to me right away with a chuckle.

Really though, my heart goes out to all the Karens of the world, and all the Kyles too. I had to live through the "It's Pat" era and it was no cake walk. Scary stuff.

The Batlord 04-13-2022 01:50 PM
