ick. am on 18.3, can’t say am excited about AI crap personally, so far able to just avoid/not enable.
how long did it take?

idiocy.

If you submitted an NIH grant that is affected by the “pause,” please contact me.

i wish i had the time, would be fascinating! (& predictable ;)

you have options!! (waves!)

give me a bit, work crazy atm. fix-y recipe but pretty easy to follow.

and recipes if you would like…

walnut rugelach. i can send recipes if yr feeling hungry :)

definitely tasty & fattening! fun to make (occasionally ;)

walnut rugelach

sugar cookies

cream cheese shortbread triangles

did this instead 🙅‍♀️
(plus a few others)
most for gifts, but… 🤷‍♀️

am bad enough w/plain Danish cookies, so thx for warning, will avoid at all costs ;)

agreed. one reason i rarely check email is toooo many ‘give me money or else!!’ ones. just stop it already.

yay for new job/no commute! the other stuff gets better (eventually ;)
at least that’s what they keep telling me. how is it going being home to work?

not sure i have ‘the’ answer but those locked up cabinets aren’t it!

have you seen a fair number are going back to checkers b/c they have more loss w/self-check? i can’t be sympathetic, they did it to themselves. costco near me has this weird hybrid system - they call it self-check but staff w/hand scanner does it in yr cart. actually faster, less effort.

i can certainly understand trying to prevent loss but holy crap. cost of the cabinets alone would be crazy, restocking would take a lot of employee time, loss of impulse buys … i wonder if they get some kind of tax break for having a store in certain areas or same for store closing.

holy crap. plus their one employee is at the cash register, so how’s this gonna work?

so far it’s ok. challenging to go from expert to novice with anything, and boy howdy. newplace being way more supportive than i expected, which is what is making it do-able. 🤞🤞 we’ll see after orientation ;)

new job w/schedule all over. i have no clue about when/what day etc. i feel this.

otoh my brother has been completely wfh for ~10 yrs & i don’t think he could go back. he likes just not having to people.
hybrid might be best of both for you. 🤷‍♀️

so happy this is working out for you. i vote hybrid trial too (not that it matters or counts ;)
see how it goes w/a timeline (& headphones to deal w/all the potential distractions/noise in yr apt).

wahoo to no new dishwasher!

yippee!!!

omg agree. pick one fgs.

smart. guy at dealership basically helped me set up most of it afternoon i picked it up, but i keep finding new things 🙄. do like the hybrid tho, ~40 mpg for an SUV seems pretty good :)

my old one was 13, new one has a _lot_ of technology that i haven’t figured out yet! hopefully you do better than me ;)

the exodus is exodus’ing ;)

ha. might need to get some of that 12 hour stuff!

dayum. we’re old ;)

i can’t believe that kid is so old! how did that happen?!?
