facts
1) my boss lurves me
2) I am working on an expensive project from which we've already lost 3 key players
3) nobody else really does what I do on my team
4) my boss is used to me working 'remotely' (I work at a site but I am remote from her with no supervision here)
5) my boss's boss doesn't like people working from home
should I
a) wait until my wife gets a job in Chi, see if I can work remotely from there (while I look for something)
b) ask boss to ask her boss if I can work remotely from Chi, move there with no job for wife
a is probably safer financially, I think b gives my wife a much stronger shot for finding a new job and allows us to move before hot hot summer
odds that I'll be able to take job to Chi maybe 60/40?
As long as one of you has a job either will be fine. Will asking for B cause any waves?
I would do A.
But I am pretty risk-averse at this point.

Katz's is one of those weird NYC places that outright prides themselves on having shitty service
When we went we had a old guy who was entertaining us with a story about a movie they'd been filming there a week or so before. He left with our order, then came back ten minutes later to ask us what we wanted and hey we looked a lot like this other couple that'd been there earlier.
So, yeah, am amnesiac for a waiter, but it gave us a story.
When you were a child the store down the street had a big red bike in the window. Schwinn. 10-speed. Good brakes so you could do a power slide. But it was far too expensive. Mom and dad would never be able to afford it, and there was no way you would ever be able to save up enough money delivering papers.
You walked by that store every day, and every day you craned your neck towards that bike. Some days, when it was nice outside and there weren't too many people out and about you would stop, and just stare, and get lost in the fantasy world you created for yourself where you owned that bike.
In your mind your best friend Tommy would stand on the back and the two of you would go down to the diamond for a game of pickup baseball. And as the years grew on and interests changed, as they do at that time in a young man's life, Tommy standing on the back was replaced with Peggy Sue sitting on the handlebars - sun dress and auburn hair flowing in the wind. The two of you would go down by the creek, and lie there in the deafening silence of the cicadas, at times saying nothing, at others saying everything. And you would lie there and watch the sun explode into shades of orange and purple as it dipped below the horizon. And you would lie there and maybe - just maybe - share a kiss.
One morning you walked by that window and it was gone. Later that day you saw Larry Parsons from down the street with Peggy Sue riding on the handlebars of his brand new red, 10-speed Schwinn.
Your defensive reaction was to put on a mask of hatred for that 10-speed, and Larry, and Peggy Sue. You would laugh, and even jeer with the other kids as they rode by on their way to go find a nice patch of grass down by the creek. Larry was a chicken, Peggy Sue was a dog, bikes were for weenies. Love was for weenies.
But secretly, deep down inside, you knew you loved that bike, and you loved Peggy Sue, and if given the chance you would change places with Larry Parsons in an instant.
The only handicap that could ever persuade me to drive one would be a crippled aesthetic sense.
I agree but they are also super fucking functional. My mom was thinking about it because they are great for carrying around multiple dogs and really easy to clean out.
Very few. And they are indeed shitty. 'Witch', 'I Robot, You Jane', 'The Puppet Show', 'Inca Mummy Girl', 'Living Conditions', 'Fear Itself', 'Beer Bad.'
Like, that's actually a solid list of most of the worst episodes ever. Witch, The Puppet Show, and Fear Itself are ok though.

shippy hedgehog man.
do sleeves really serve as a huge hurdle in the job finding process like everyone says they do?
no
you wear a suit to an interview and no one sees anything
or if they do it's a little peek and either a) you both respect the fact that you did what you could to cover it and move on despite noticing the eyes flick down a few times or b) they say something like oh cool a tattoo
the one drawback is that I wear the sleeves on my dress shirt down year round instead of rolling them up in the summer like I used to

Now that you have him, go with A.

Buffy is now on Netflix Instant

You want to watch the shitty episodes?

How do you know he wants to watch the episodes with/without said characters?

Shingeki no Kyojin creeps me the fuck out. I don't think I'll be able to handle the show if they get graphic at all.
I don't know what those are so you must be wrong.
I had some from one place that made me choke for a second.
