The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Continuation - We go to the self serve kiosk and it’s in a different row/bin than what’s in the ticket. We go there, and there are none in stock. I get an employee involved and he can’t find one. Now they are getting ready to close and I’m on my third option. We finally get it, pay, load it, and drive the 60 miles home. We get home and I’m fucking exhausted. It’s still in the back of the van waiting for me to assemble it tonight.
Yeah - IKEA tends to be an all or nothing gambit
But let me know if you're in the market for already-assembled bookcases. 😁
 
Gift cards, Amazon, visa, amex.... I even gave grocery store cards when prices started rising.
Right? They tend to go the easy route (for them) with the pizza or a trip to the dollar store for a cheap piece of <redacted> where the gift bag costs more than the gift. Ridiculous IMO!

ETA:
Heck - give me an extra hour off the books to leave early one day. Even that would be preferable

I worked at a company that would give you an hour's pay, but then it was taxed, so you got about a third of what you thought you were gonna get

Years ago supervisors had discretion to release staff early. Typically used as a reward around the holidays. They rotated through staff to keep the office running. You still put 8 hours on your timecard, but that day before the holiday you might have been allowed to start an hour late or leave an hour early.
I think the federal HR rules may have stopped this practice??
Either that or someone did a naughty while they had an on-the-job alibi??? 🤨:unsure:

I knew someone who ran a company that let employees leave 2 hours before the end of the day. He had an employee have an accident when they left and filed for workman's compensation. Employee sued the company saying they never would have had the accident if they were still at work and the company was caught up in the suit from the employee, as well as workman's comp lawsuit.

No good deed goes unpuninshed. How wonder what percentage of the goods and services we consume every day can be attributed to gratuitous litigation. Medical services, it's gotta be close to half...
 
Is that your secret engine stash?


No. I have 2 Ford flatheads, each is in an 8N tractor. The rest of my flatheads are Packard straight eights. They hold down a stall in the horse house Out West. If the picture ever comes through, I'll post it. The phone is like a foot from the computer, but it's taking forever to get from one to the other.
