    Details are all sorted for the temp job, and I'll be at the library until the end of May since the permanent hire is moving from off island. Feels good knowing I'll be putting my degree to work again soon.

    Today I was asked to judge whether or not a video game was suitable for my boss's 12 year old son.

    Totally forgot about the sex element of the Fable series so I gave it a thumbs up. I'm also super fucking curious as to how a 12 year old gets turned onto a 9 year old game.

    About 10 seconds after he had the call from (I assume) his son. I just kinda said "Oh yeah... I think there's some bangin' in that game."

    Now that I've finally found a product that works with my hair, and with how fast I'm dropping weight from being at the gym and you know, not downing half a fifth of scotch every night, I think in a few days I may shave the beard, style my hair up, walk into to work all suave as fuck.

    You know, until I start cracking the same blend of pessimistic dad humor.

    Man, I wish gas was under a dollar per litre. :(

    yeeeup. We're at about $2.30NZD/litre right now for regular/91.

    if we're lucky we get a 6 cent/litre coupon from the food shop.

    Luckily since we drive minimally, we're really only filling up the car every 3-4 weeks.

    That seems pretty on par with prices over here. At the moment were at about 1.40€/l which seems to be right in the middle of European prices which at the moment apparently range from 1.10€/l in Poland to over 1.70€/l in the Netherlands.

    2.30 USD/gallon converts to a bit over 0.60€/l. That seems ridiculously cheap.

    A and C are pretty much the primary uses in the field though they will claim it is B.

    I dunno about you guys, but I sure as shit wouldn't trust the sub with showing a video and keeping them quiet.

    Also I have a class that I'm struggling with a lot, just a lot of ridiculous personalities. So I'm checking the other MESH subjects looking for advice.

    Turns out, according to the EAs that are in all the classes I've got them most on lock out of everyone, and I'm just all, everyone else's lives must suck.

    If I could just make people sit the fuck down before they get called, my airport experience would be 90% better. You are here. You have a ticket, and a seat, what in the hell is your hurry to go sit in that stale air? (The early group of "people who need more time" is 100% fine.)
    I know why they can't, but I dream of the attendants just not letting anyone on till we get our shit together. Do some group shaming.
    Southwest's method of line up, then grab a seat like a bus is still dumb, but makes the gate part tolerable at least.

    I'm having lunch with my old production director from the radio station today. He heard I was about to be free agent and wanted to "sit down and see what's going on". Could be nothing, I doubt I'd go back to the radio station full time, but as a part time jock? That'd be kinda fun for a bit. I loathe being in the spotlight though, makes me feel anxious when I'm out at the grocery store.

    I think most people’s reasoning is that if they’re in some of the later groups, the overhead bin space becomes a lot more limited so they want to board ASAP in their group to snag a good spot

    Which gets to the next pet peeve of "no that is not a reasonable carry on, let the nice attendants have it and shut up, you cheater"
    Also if you don't have a connection but clog the aisle after the plane lands, making it harder for those who do have connections I also want you strapped down.
    Flying is great, but everything around it is terrible.
    While I'm on it with my hot takes....and what's, the deal, with in flight food?!

    On both legs of my trip last week, they started boarding priority customers first but didn't actually open the doors, so rather than boarding it turned into "priority customers now get to queue a little closer to the plane".

    I'd also like to see more airlines board WilMA, but that's because I'm almost always travelling alone or with someone from work. I imagine I'd feel differently if it was a family vacation.

    RIGHT?! Different planes have different overhead bins! Deal! Again, special circumstances (kids, medical issues, anything else that puts you into that getting on early category) excepted. You'll be fine without immediate access to everything in your bag. Just have a small shoulder bag, that's enough for a laptop, book, water bottle, snack, pills, gum, headphones, deck of cards....what else do you really need?

    Ughh that is dumb. And WilMA is FINE for families! They fall under "If you need extra time, board first" I'd even go so far as to say 2 adults per kid is allowable and won't throw a wrench in things too often at all! And if you are a group of adults...well honestly you'll all survive the 20 minutes apart. Yes you too, new couple who want to suck face the whole time.

    I mean... are you allowed to bring a USB key with you cause generally the easiest way i've known to access a comp without the password is to boot to a USB stick then alter the necessary locations on the core drive to give yourself creds and then boot into the system and use the creds you just made for yourself.

    Phoenix has been a long while for me. But IIRC the chapel is in Terminal 4? Level 2 or 3 or something. If you just want a quiet spot to chill that'd be your best bet.

    I won't even try to speculate on food, it's been far too long since I've been through that one.
