Just hoping I turn the corner with this non-COVID chest crud today so I can actually enjoy my weekend. First time I've been legit sick since early 2020. Looking forward to the Kickers' playoff game on Saturday.

Just go notified I have a check coming from VA Treasury and I have already received the $250 about a month ago. I am praying it is not a govt screw up that I will have to spend hours trying to correct. I could really use some extra $$ as my OT was cut back and it is putting a dent in my fund to pay off the vacation I took last month.

Yesterday, I lost my job. I am doing ok, but it does feel weird. It makes me feel like I don’t deserve to be happy.
A long time ago, I got semi-involved with a voodoo doctor, and changed my mind about the whole thing… . And he cursed me that someday my life would fall apart. I’ve never forgotten that. Some days I really believe that curse was real.

I really hope I am wrong but I read this was cancelled and its not listed on their website. Would hate for you to drive down and find out the hard way.

Sent out a half dozen resumes yesterday, trying to do the same today. Saw some jobs at UVA that I wanna go for, but they have this dumb applicant management platform that I wasn't in the mood to fuck with yesterday. Also not keen on jobs outside of Richmond right now but beggars can't be choosers am I right?

Are you going to punch that asshole inner dialogue in the mouth or do you need me to do it for you?

People who went to see Chris Rock last night (or Tuesday) - what did you think of the show? It was our third time seeing him and it was really good, but not awesome. Maybe my memory has failed me, but I don't remember his shows being AS raunchy and filthy as this one was. I guess I expected more of a comedic deep dive into the social and political mess that we're currently experiencing, but what we got was more of a TED Talk on pussy. I'm curious what others thought.
Horror-Fisherman-575 t1_itzb4ku wrote
Thanks friend. I need to build up some muscle to punch that jerk, for sure.

I went last night. Chris Rock has always had the raunchiness mixed in with his social and political commentary. But since he’s single I think he’s a little more focused on getting laid. I really enjoyed the show but I did feel like he was using a smaller audience in Richmond to test new material. Some of it didn’t seem fully thought out and dragged on, which is common when comedians are trying to figure out what material works and doesn’t work when preparing for a big special.

Finally living in a more residential neighborhood. I’ve always wanted to be the house with cute decorations and great candy so I’m very excited.

I mean, I haven't checked. Also I'm like two minutes from there so it's no big travel wise.

Thank you.
I’ve historically worked in Account Management and Client Services, with some marketing background. I am currently back in school for a counseling certification and want to become involved with non profits, with an eventual goal of becoming a substance abuse counselor or at least doing support work in that field.
I want to help people.

I just read that Shell Oil posted record profits. Why isn’t this the headline everywhere? “Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage.”
Wiltonator t1_itzi2tq wrote
Also saw CR the other night. Some of the material was spot on. But the show did drag in some spots. His stuff about dating didn’t really land. In some spots it seemed force. Just trying to be raunchy for the sake of being raunchy. Cheap laughs.

i’m still looking for a small volume of any kind of red wood stain! less than an ounce would be more than enough, and i’d take it in a solo cup!
my fun weekend plans hopefully involve finishing this damn table.

It has been a record profit year for most companies, but all we hear about is inflation. It's gross and disgusting and makes me a little more anti-capitalist every day.

The process for applying to UVA jobs is the worst I have ever seen. Once you actually get through the online compendium of things they want you to provide, you can look forward to at least 3 rounds of interviews... If they ever call back.
The worst.

I have two stains, dark walnut and red mohagany. Just chatted you a pic if you're interested.

Ugh I had that a couple weeks ago! It was horrible and took almost 10 days to get out of me. I was seriously sick.
Hope you feel better soon and stay on it with expectorants so you don't get pneumonia.

don’t underestimate the power of a quick gasp, much like you’d do to excite a dog. it used to distract my son all the time.

I have a friend who is a substance abuse counselor now- DM me your number and I can connect you. Also, check out Safe Bars RVA - maybe they can also connect you with your background and desire to help moving forward.
I’ve been trying to get a Richmond chapter of https://www.iheardyou.org going to! Would love to partner with them.

This is really funny to me- one of the accountants in my husband's office volunteers as one of the people at shows that help people to their seat. She is a sweet grandma who is very passionate about the chesterfield county fair. I can't wait to hear her impression of the show.
lady_lowercase t1_itzu73i wrote
i am of the honest opinion that any stain with a predominantly red tone will do the trick. here's the project after several coats of stain in the dark walnut color (sorry about the lighting; it's a very consistent tone in person), but i have other pieces in the home that have that are more "espresso" than "brown".

my experience with professional certifications is that a nontrivial part of the barrier to entry is navigating all of the busted websites and paperwork. congrats and good luck wrapping it up.

The section "up top" that doesn't require much in the way of mobility (i.e. does not involved the steep walk down to the Japanese Gardens) is improved this year from last.
Edit: Also, I really hate it when people delete their comments. OP was complaining about accessibility at Maymont Garden Glow in case anyone was wondering.

Danger-Moose t1_iu00lvt wrote
At a risk of potentially starting an argument, you made me look up the "Accessibility" portion of the event:
>This is a self-guided walking experience with moderate hiking and inclines. Limitations of the pathways to and throughout the historic gardens prevent wheelchairs, strollers and other assistive devices from accessing that portion of the event. The Glow Village, including the food trucks, Glow Shop, fire pits and Glow Bar are located on the Carriage House Lawn, and generally accessible by self-propelled mobility aids as well as strollers.
I'm not sure how they could put that any differently.
coalmines t1_iu01fpa wrote
Not sure what your mobility issues are but they run tuk tuks from the entrance down to the main attraction and back for those with mobility issues. Just don’t want others to get discouraged and not go thinking they don’t have any options for people with mobility issues.

Finally flying back to RVA tonight after 3 weeks in the deep south due to a family emergency. I cannot wait to be back.
Going to sleep in my own bed, ride my bike, and throw some chicken wings on the sidewalk to celebrate my return.

Thursday crowds are the worst at work, but those are still manageable. Yesterday I made donuts for everyone, but haven't decided what I'll do today. We have a party of 30, but I could still make a sweet potato or pecan pie in-between.
I like seeing how happy a big piece of pie or a brownie makes a coworker on a crummy day. Plus, Halloween weekend deserves some sweets!

Because it's not alarming or particularly unexpected? Energy companies make more when energy prices increase. When energy prices come back down, so will Shell's profits. Broadly speaking, Shell is more at the mercy of these global market forces than they are in control of them. I'm sure XOM and CVX are also doing quite well this year.

I honestly don't know- are you saying that it's wrong to blame the oil companies making record profits for the price of gas? It seems to me that if they scaled down the amount of their profits the price of gas could go down.
dovetc t1_iu0iiui wrote
Yes, it's wrong to blame publicly held companies for trying to be as profitable as they can. That's quite literally their obligation to their shareholders. They're not running a charity.
