So things have been pretty weird for me lately. I have a few anecdotes to share.
First, my best friend just got promoted to Store Manager at Starbucks down south in Indy, getting his own store in another town. Thats pretty cool for him, but now they promoted a shift manager to assistant, and need a new shift manager. Part of his training is hiring the new one. His boss got the likely application, and he is doing the interviews. My other friend who recently had to move down there has an interview today with Starbucks for a shift manager position. Yes, my best friend is interviewing another friend whome he has never met. Weird.
Also, last night an ex-employee of mine asked if she could use me as a reference. She moved to LA and is trying to get a job. The manager of the retail store she applied to called me. It was a girl I've gone to school with since elementary, whom I haven't heard from since graduation 8 years ago.
And lastyly, holy shit this is happening: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/indiana-police-gunman-takes-unknown-number-of-hostages-inside-valparaiso-real-estate-office/2012/05/25/gJQAAPh9pU_story.html thats in my town, I couldn't go to the gym today because they have all the streets blocked off. And I have a friend who works as a secratary in that office. She was off work today though thank god. Hopefully everyone makes it out ok
So yeah, the world is insane. What crazy weird stuff has been happening to you lately?

Mmmm welding fumes and ribs
I misread this as BMX motorcycle and the world was at once a marginally more radical place
Oxy/acetylene heating torch set under some 1/4 inch plate?
-ensian street urchin?
Guy wore black cloths, had a black gun, black mask, and rode off on a black bike. If nothing else, he knows how to color coordinate
things are pretty not crazy right now at least until i remember i forgot some wedding prep thing
Naw, management actually had food brought in for us, it was really nice of them!
But I have seen yard workers cooking lunch that way, not here but at previous jobs
and then I won a drawing through my current/old/now-seasonal job through a program they're running to encourage employees to take part in special health programs through our health insurance, I won the drawing for $200. That'll be added to my next/last (for now) paycheck from them.. which is scheduled on the same day I start my summer job.

Worst part of not being in Michigan for spring: lack of Oberon
SUMMER
When I sit down, they don't go over my knee, but still remain a rather classy length. This shocked my friend into taking a picture specifically of this glorious event.
That mean I'm a real man now
Right??
yeah thatll be a thing i miss if i ever move away from here
it is gorgeous as heck out today and i took the puppy for a walk
a Good Day
What is this Oberon of which you speak.

Bell's makes a fair few good beers and it's cheapish around here
dude! this sounds awesome! what sort of job is that?
We did it fairly often in the workshop I used to work at. Management bought us a barbecue eventually, it's much safer!
I guess Vader has to find some way to fund the Death Star 3...
I'll be a historical interpreter. Basically I pretend to be an 1880s soldier and fire (original!) rifles and cannons and do drill demonstrations and give talks and lead tours and stuff. And I get to sing. And maybe play bugle (if I can retain any of my trumpet skills from over 10 years ago - and giving up trumpet is one of the greatest regrets of my life). Also I'll get to play an 1812 Redcoat soldier in programs commemorating the bicentennial of the War of 1812, too.
I am
absurdly excited.

I did this a few weeks ago. I know she gave me a fake name, so we are both many men now. Let us compare chest hair
Also I should totally be reading my training materials right now instead of posting on the forum, lol.

Yes Bell's is good beer. I like Bell's, Dark Horse, Southern Tier, and Three Floyds for my craft beers
What battle field is this at? edit: I missed the part where you were avoiding saying the name. I'm pretty sure I know where this is though
I'm pretty pumped for the festivle season to pick up around here. Blueberry Fest, Pork Fest, Marshmallow Fest, Popcorn Fest, Johnny Appleseed Fest, Feast of the Hunters Moon. Late summer into early fall is the best time for seeing cool stuff and stuffing your face
aint many islands in michigan duder
Holy shit, I just finally did the mental math and figured out where you're going to be
Check out the Pink Pony during Race week, though you might want to stay away from the hot tub
should look to correct that soon
Haha, I've heard some ~stories~ about the hot tub from some of my coworkers-to-be. I am both intrigued and daunted.
