That looks like pretty miserable terrain for cows.  They got a feeding station or something?

[Choop]

...realize that tedstriker's avatar looks like i feel. it's fuck*ng hot today.

People always seem surprised about it, but when you get away from the fake-grass-through-irrigation-suburbia parts, it's pretty much a freaking desert out here.

Yeah. I absolutely know that, but still whenever I see those places (or pictures of them) I am surprised anew and wonder what possessed people to settle in Southern California in the first place. I can only assume that it's because they found they'd run out of west and were too tired to turn back.

Wombles, you are almost painfully clever.

Wombles, you are almost painfully clever.

We are about to find out exactly how much that is worth in cold hard cash - I just got an email that my agent has "an offer to discuss."

...unsettle a bunch of co-workers.

I was tromping down the stairs in a big crowd and this gal gave me the standard "Howyadoin'" and for some reason this came out:

"Aww, you know. We're all just cattle stomping down the chute to the slaughterhouse, waiting to meet the guy with the hammer."

Things got kinda quiet and a lot of heads whipped about, the gal who asked the question did the old slow-down and kinda dropped away.

I guess that was a little too far.

Weird, it just popped out, too. I guess walking around in a hurt for a couple of days has me a big case of the morbids.

I think you need new coworkers. Gallows humor is always welcome in my circles.

I just learned that Canada apparently has neither drive-through bank tellers or pharmacies. Is this just an American thing?

(To clarify they have drive-up ATMs there, just not the windows with a real person)

[jaydub]

pharmacies.

Maybe they call them "chemists"?

I'm pretty sure when I was in Vancouver on vacation I went to a pharmacy (or similar) for some headache medicine.

I seriously do not know what level of job I should be applying for. When I see something that looks "entry level" it always says you need a high school diploma. What the heck kind of job can I do? I am bookmarking a long list of pages from STL classified ads, craigslist, etc. and will send out resumes tomorrow. For some reason I find all of these sites really disorienting (except craigslist). I spent a very long time on monster.com just trying to figure out how to do basic things.

Yes, but was it drive-through?

[miles]

I have seen, but never used, drive-through pharmacies. For some reason the idea kind of creeps me out. Nothing in particular I can really put my finger on, though. I also hate using drive-through tellers.

[jaydub]

Yes, but was it drive-through?

When the Revolution comes, it'll be patrons of drive-thru pharmacies first against the wall.

[Drygioni]

Pfft. Any excuse not to leave the car and interact with people serving you like they're not a machine

Bite

[jay-ell]

I don't like drive-up tellers, but dang are they a lifesaver when I've got both kids in the car and I have Got. To. Get. This. [Prescription/Check desposited].
