Speaking of Getting Fired

thinkthrice's picture

Looks as though the  HousesHitter (YSS21) has lost his job at the local branch of a  global manufacturing plant.

His social media included his job title and this company for some months now and all of a sudden it was taken down with no replacement.   

If true frankly I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did as he has zero work ethic.

Meanwhile,  Pumpkinhead (OSS stb 28) posted a very long poem lamenting adulting!

Back On The Meds

So Chef has a new doctor that he likes.   He is not pushy and militant like the former doctor.  I noticed the difference when I went to him as well.   

Chef is back on a new blood pressure medicine and on a statin for cholesterol which seems to have a calming effect!  I'm not sure what it is about these meds but he has been actually sensible and reasonable (caveat to the best of Chef's ability which is not much).

Pumpkinhead's Perpetual Yard Sale

Pumpkinhead (OSS stb 28) I've noticed is constantly running a yard sale.  I'm not sure how they accumulated so much stuff at this young age but I know that the Girhippo is a pig and a hoarder.  "Everything Must Go" is the theme of the day.

If you can recall he most recently asked Mr Not So Neutral (Chef's half bro) about electrical repairs at Pumpkinhead's house.  Of course,  Mr Not So Neutral knows nothing about electrical work as he works in a landfill but tried to refer Pumpkinhead to Chef which irritated Chef (and me) to no end as they have been estranged for 15 years now.

A Day That Shall Live In Infamy (20 yrs)

Twenty years ago this day, I foolishly allowed Chef's size 10 workboots to cross my threshold. 

We happen to be staying in a ritzy hotel in Buffalo to visit Awesomeson, Awesome DIL and Awesome GD3 before Awesomeson heads out of state for 3 months starting in August to continue his electrical education in preparation for civilian life .

I mentioned that it was 20 yrs ago that Chef moved in (to Chef) and he says "time sure does fly"  and I added "when you're having fun..."  To which he sarcastically went "ha ha."

Then he said "I knew it was in the summer sometime."

Whose Skids Are These?

Had 3 applicants over the last 2 days (who apparently can't read either--my ad says credit score of 600 required minimum) apply to one of my apartments and here are their credit scores:

451,  489, 460

Ages 53,  36, 27 respectively.   I.just.can't.  If I had a credit score like that I would be embarrassed to apply.

I just keep hearing the fail horn from The Price is Right.

Man-O-Pause Rant

Aka Grumpy old man.  Chef has always been arrogant and haughty but he just seems to be getting worse and worse.  He's completely off his blood pressure meds now and has gone back to his own routine of drinking and eating whatever he wants.
