That Moment...

TMW you feel a little better after playing Corporate Fury.
Kinda fun beating up people in the work place.
Lots of weird ass upgrades and items though.

 

TMW drama continues in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Facebook group I'm on.

Da fuq, people!? D:<

 

Drama? In a Facebook group? Who'da thunk it? I'm from a small town, and a beloved restaurant that had been there for over thirty years closed a couple weeks ago...

...which ended up with people getting kicked out of the group, somehow, in the end.

 

TMW you see this:



and the anticipation almost kills you....

 

TMW you find yourself having to choose whether to eat the smallest cookie or the misshapen one. Tough times.

 

TMW...

...a customer starts to scream and call you names so you hang up on them only to have them call back and not realize they had already spoken to you.

He said I "wasn't all there" and also, at the same time, knew how to do my job.

 

Chop them both up with a razor blade. Get a straw, cut it in half and then....cookie monster knows the rest.

 

Have you seen The Happytime Murders yet? It might appeal to you.

 

TMW you read this:

 

TMW I know it’ll add next to nothing for my story but dang it, I want to write that scene where Samula (character in my fantasy) chases off an old guy suckling on a cow tit (basically making fun of that infamous scene from ‘The Last Jedi’.)

 

TMW you discover that your current accomodation doesn't meet the minimum standards for rentals in Ireland. Surprise, surprise!

Spoiler: Things expected

General
For each apartment, flat or house being rented as a separate unit, the landlord must ensure that the rental property is in a proper state of structural repair. The Regulations require the landlord to maintain the property in a sound state, inside and out. They specify that roofs, roofing tiles, slates, windows, floors, ceilings, walls, stairs, doors, skirting boards, fascias, tiles on any floor, ceiling and wall, gutters, down pipes, fittings, furnishings, gardens and common areas must be maintained in good condition and repair. They must not be defective due to dampness or otherwise.

The landlord must ensure that electricity or gas supplies are safe and in good repair, and that every room has adequate ventilation and both natural and artificial lighting.*


Laundry, food preparation and food storage

Regulation 7 requires private landlords to provide access to:

• A washing machine
• A clothes-dryer if the dwelling does not have a private garden or yard

They must also provide facilities for cooking and for the hygienic storage of food, to include the following:

• 4-ring hob with oven and grill
• Cooker hood or extractor fan
• Fridge and freezer, or a fridge-freezer
• Microwave oven
• Kitchen cupboards that are suitable and adequate for storing food
• Sink with mains water supply, hot water and draining area

Other requirements
All landlords must provide:

• A sink with hot and cold water
• A separate room, for the exclusive use of each rented unit, with a toilet, a washbasin and a fixed bath or shower with hot and cold water
• A fixed heating appliance in each room, which is capable of providing effective heating and which the tenant can control
• A fire blanket and smoke alarms
• Access to vermin-proof and pest-proof refuse storage facilities

*To be fair, the bathroom was put in the centre of the building, so a window wasn't feasible anyway.

 

TMW Outlook didn't think it was enough to automatically put all your emails to yourself in Junk Email, so it has started to flag all your calendar reminders as Junk Email too...

 

TMW you remember you haven't listened to Tom Waits in a looong while.

Small Change, Closing Time... depression, decadence and daytime drunkenness never felt so socially acceptable.

 

I just can't listen to him. When I was a little kid, my neighbor convinced me that Grover from Sesame Street had become a drunk and recorded an album, and I've never been able to shake the mental image.

 

TMW one of your Facebook friends says she’s Hitler’s daughter and you’re not sure if she’s legit serious or just joking around.

I’m starting to realize why no one sane uses social media...

 

Poe's Law....

 

Sane? In this day and age and in this forum, you've got to be kidding?

 

Didn't you see Iron Sky?

 

Small Change is one of my favorite albums. "Invitation to the Blues" is a great song.

 

I found it as a teen. I was spellbound by the cover - didn't know the first thing about the artist. Borrowed it, listened to it, fell in love with it. Whenever I listen to it, I feel like I've been transported to another world and another time. It's scary vivid.

 

TMW...

...one of your DMs traumatizes a whole group of people, and it was awesome.

 

TMW your language programme asks you to write: Are you a cat?
