The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Frankly? I'm glad I don't have it. Stuff like that comes with some kind of familial obligation to keep it and pass it down because it belongs to Great Aunt Livinia or whomthefuckever. Great granddad's pocket watch is one thing. Great granny's sewing machine is big and takes of floor space and is one more damned thing to dust. I can't sew, so why I need one???


I do have my great great grandfather's dresser. Difference is, I use it daily. My wallet is sitting on it along with the rest of my pocket goblins as I type this.
I like having useful things, too.
 
Like why? I can't imagine how I get so much work done with all the meetings. I literally have a meeting back to back today from 8a to 1p


My former job (before last) was big on meetings. I think it gave folks something to do during Covid. It also seems to be a government thing, too - the illusion of productivity. My work has always been very results driven task orientation, so my ability to tolerate one fucking meeting after another one is limited on a good day.


The only thing I miss from that job is the paycheck, yet I seem to do fine without it. Go figure.

Because I worked for a multi-hospital system, many of our meetings were virtual in addition to the on-site meeting. I frequently called in, even when the meeting was at my site. Checked in then muted my phone so I could get some damn work done! Too many stupid meetings!
 
I know I've already been busted by B2. I'm headed to bed now, having gotten to the end of the thread (so far)! Have a good Wednesday and Juneteenth, everyone! Try to stay cool, those of you in the hot zone! 😘🥰

I guess I am old school. It seems to me that a lot of these meetings could be condensed in to fewer as we talk about the same thing to the same people at 4 meetings.

I couldn't agree more. What chaps my ass about them is how many people are truly enamored with the sound of their own voices. If they could simply make their point(s) and move along, meetings would certainly suck less.
 
I downsized several Family Items right to the curb a few years back. I did call the relatives and ask who wanted what. It seems that they had already downsized it by letting it show up at my house. In the front door and out the back door . . . .
I have gotten some great stuff from curb. I got a beautiful mcm dresser with dust covers and everything. Cleaned it up and gave to my sister because she needed a dresser. Nothing in my house except sofa washer and dryer and mattresses cost more than 50$....and most of it cost less than 20$

Yeah. They live for the atta boy.....it is generational. You make me talk to long then you might not like what I say...for instance when I said yesterday that the docs need to get on board that I am the auditor of a process and I determine the fix needed and that they are responsible for fixing the problem not fixing my process to skew the numbers. I am not popular

I have a one bedroom senior apartment for Mrs Rj and I and when we move I have to get professional movers to move my crap.
