Where did you work? What kind of Boomer clients did you serve?

I worked fast food in '03, it was closer to 50/50.

Step 1) Be Attractive.

Step 2) Don’t be Unattractive.

(Attractiveness is subjective)

The analogy I always liked was:

Success is like a carnival dart game.

If you’re poor you probably don’t even get a chance to play. Maybe once with some help from friends and family. But even then, the odds are still not good.

If you’re middle class you can afford a throw or two, significantly increasing the odds of success.

If you’re rich you can afford to throw as many darts as you want until you succeed.

Yup. First thing I noticed, too. Where’s my blankets? And by blankets I mean cheap unzipped sleeping bag I’ve been using as a blanket for years.

Is CyberNews’ data checker safe? Or is entering an email just confirming a valid email address to the breachers?

Depends on the art. High contrast imagery is generally considered developmentally important.

At least at the Faires I’ve worked at no one cares.

In fact, I have a second-hand anecdote that one faire staff has a screen accurate combadge inside their doublet. When they see people doing stuff like this, they run over and pull them aside. They would whip out the badge and get in their face. “Does the Prime Directive mean NOTHING to you?! This is an uncontacted pre-warp civilization. You are ruining YEARS of undercover research! Who is your captain? I’m going to have your court martialled if you don’t get under cover FAST.”

Or…hear me out… People don’t live in the damn desert and expect to have unlimited access to water.

forgettable

Hard disagree here. I have a deep, seething, hatred for this song that precludes forgetting that travesty.

I went through a brief period in college when I was taking a full load and working 30 hours a week. I needed to carefully plan my sleep schedule. I was taking sleeping pills to go to sleep right away and caffeine pills to get going, with coffee/soda throughout the day. Was it healthy? Absolutely not.

On the plus side, I developed a new drink at the cafe I was working at, The Opener; for those 5am shifts.

• walk by coffee pots, start all of the machines.
• walk to espresso machine, pull an espresso shot into a regular coffee mug.
• set down all of my ‘stuff’
• at this point espresso has finished
• take espresso mug back to coffee makers. At this point they are hot and flowing. Replace coffee pot with my mug.
• Once mug is topped off with coffee, replace coffee pot.
• Sip drink while turning on the lights and computers

Exactly my first thought.
