    My hospital has the cafeteria open at like 2am, hardly anyone is there so the dude a the grill will do whatever you want. I had him make me a burger with a fried egg and bacon on it. It was amazing.

    Learned of a new company site, which was spurred by a break in of such patience and quality, I have to respect it....barring the breaking and entering part of a company whose products I enjoy.

    Crammed a random site in at the last minute, got mean-mugged by resident, will only patrol this site in the middle of the night when he's asleep.

    Is that not a common thing? Because the local high school does it too.

    No, that's fuckin morbidly crazy.

    Death is walking around plucking students randomly from class, and then their entire course load for the day gets fucked, and they are ostensibly ostracized by the rest of the school.

    Its so fucked on so many levels.

    My school had it planned, not random students, cause if it was random it'd be really easy for a student to just go "nah" and not participate in it.

    It was more stupid than fucked honestly.

    There's a problem with the water main at work that came up yesterday late morning. So no on site bathrooms.

    They were working on it when i left yesterday so I figured it'd be good today

    The employee parking lot is now blocked off so that they can trench. Oh well, just gotta hold it or go somewhere else.

    Go to get coffee, it is out of order because it fills via the water line.

    Is it too late to call in?

    Gotta hold it?
    But there's a trench, right?

    Just thinking, closed door, opened window.

    Yeah, but there's still no coffee.

    Also that would be rude to the plumbers.

    Teens in the US aren't even allowed to drink. This whole thing is mind-boggling.

    edit: i guess that's not really relevant since hte idea is presumably the lesson sticks. But there's just so much wtf here I can't find anything in particular to latch onto.

    I imagine this comes from the same sorts of minds who thought DARE would be an effective anti-drug campaign or that the scared straight program would stop kids from doing a crime.

    In other words daft adults who have completely forgotten what being a teenager is actually like.

    So today at the high school they are, in conjunction with the local police force, doing their Every Fifteen Minutes activity.

    Every fifteen minutes they play a muffled heart-beat over the intercoms. Then somebody dressed up as a grim reaper walks the school, and plucks a student out of a classroom. That student then goes over to the library where the theater & art teachers apply make-up to have them look deceased. The student is then returned to their class and for the rest of the day they do no work, they don't talk and then just sit/walk around silently.

    At the end of the day we have an assembly where the whole school gathers out at the parking lot to observe a simulated crash scene.

    Oooh boy...

    Holy shit. I think I liked it better when I was in school and they gave zero fucks about us.

    Huh...

    I'm not sure we ever had any formal address on the subject of drink driving. If we did, I've completely forgotten it.

    I'm completely sure nobody ever bothered lecturing us about drugs.

    The best drunk driving thing I did (by best mean I enjoyed it, not that it was functional) was in driver's ed when they had you put on the drunk goggles and drive a car through a traffic cone course.

    Of course, the thing was seriously misguided since the bigger risk is buzzed driving with marginally reduced reaction speeds, not black-out everything-is-blurry driving.

    What is this I don't even.

    Speaking of which, my daughter an I were exploring some trails behind the local school the other day and came upon a pile of empty beer cans. Ok, this is normal, I mean, of course it's a problem but it's a normal problem and expected for a certain population of teens. She and I started cleaning it up when I noticed a very large Listerine bottle amidst the empties. Now, I've ridden the subway often enough to have seem plenty of crazy homeless people drinking Listerine because the liquor store won't sell to them, but fucking teens? Seems like an awfully young age to be developing a major drinking problem.

    We had two new lion cubs born recently. They were seen for the first time about a week ago. Three days ago one was witnessed dying in the sun a few metres away from its apparently unconcerned mother. Today I found the other, alone, covered in mud and calling for mum with no sign of the rest of them nearby.

    Not sure why she would abandon it. Poor wee thing.

    That reminds me when my high school got ready for the big inter-high athletics meet they pretty much let the seniors have free reign to put together a cheer section. So this one guy put together this fucking amazing devil costume. He wore a big black cloak while riding on another kids shoulders, who was holding walking sticks so it looked like he was twelve feet tall with giant fuckin goat legs. He even had his own entrance music, some rad metal that would start playing at random and we would all flip our shit. He would basically come out and act incredibly over the top evil about how we will literally devour the other schools, but in a much funnier way than I could do it justice describing it. He was a born comedian.

    So of course it lasted all of a week and half before parents shut it down. He quickly rebranded as a "blue bull" (local provincial rugby team) and toned down the devil speak but it wasn't the same.

    The Science Place In Dallas had a thing was a diving game/simulator where you could choose how many drinks you had at the party, but no matter how many you chose and how well you fought the drunk steering it would eventually take over and force you off the road and into a tree.

    Unless you chose 0 drinks, in which case you almost make it home but get hit by a drunk driver crossing the divider.

    I hated it.
