I posted elsewhere about how I became The Champ when I gave the guys working in the kitchen my “Ramones Mania” cassette, some of the younger guys were getting sick of their trove of AC DC, Van Halen and Boston tapes. It went into heavy rotation, and all the staff, FOH and BOH loved it. I was gobsmacked that so many…
We have to hand it to Salty though, that picture of a miserable cossetted nerd really captures the essence of this story.
Disagreements in the kitchen can get very heated.
Exactly. If the guys in the garage want to have the game on or the rock station, that’s their deal. They’re a cohesive unit who get to choose what they want to listen to while they work, within reasonable constraints. Same as the kitchen guys, they’re the ones putting out the food, keep them happy and motivated. If…
Yeah, if the phone is going to ring or your neighbour needs to ask you questions about this file or that account, headphones don’t work.
It depends where you work. In an office where you have to hear and answer the phone and regularly interact with coworkers in an open-plan office? Common sense and maybe office rules will dictate no headphones.

I went on an overnight hike with a true outdoorsy girl, she was lovely and great and we clicked on most things, but she was hardcore, and insisted that we didn’t need toilet paper, we’d use bark or pine cones, that TP wasn’t ‘natural’. Well I said bunkum to that, with my inside voice, and smuggled some TP in my pack.…
Yeah, I guess my main point is that teams should have their own character, their own flavour and kids growing up in Winnipeg or Trenton or Toronto should idolize the same players season after season. That’s how I fell in love with hockey, seeing the same players return season after season, with some noble warriors…
You see, I was hoping we could discuss this subject like adults, and you have failed me Balloons, with your non-answer to my specific question about cold climate and resultant cold cold water, as opposed to barely-below-room-temperature cold water. In your haste to get your jollies to type the ‘a’-word that must, I…
Yes. The neo-cons in the Bush II régime co-opted Colin Powell’s credibility and reputation not that long ago. It does seem reasonable that Iran played a role in this, but I’ll be damned if I take anyone’s recommendation in that corrupt administration about what we (NATO, UN) should do about it.
This is why civilization’s greatest advance of the last quarter century is Costco.
