I just switched to a local credit union with—get this—1.5% interest on my checking account.

Hey, Emily!  I was ungrayed for many years then regrayed when Kinja freaked out a few months ago.  Can I get ungrayed again?  Pleeeeeeaaaaasssse?

I have noticed that there are two peaks.  One is approximately 22-30 years old, and the other is over 60.  I kind of hate men in their 20s because they assume they know soooooo much more than I do about everything.

That was my first thought, too.  The bartender recognized him from a previous incident.  He is probably one step away from having his picture on the wall as someone who will not be served.

I know of a place called the wine library.  Leather armchairs and you order by the glass.

That is bizarre. Nearly every time I go to my favorite bar, I read my Kindle while I drink my beer.

I would tip 50% for that kind of service.

H1B visas are a distraction that doesn’t really affect salaries. Other countries, especially India and China, have developed highly educated work forces of people. Combine that with the fact that most of the people who work in a scientific environment don’t need science degrees (data checkers, QA, custodial, etc...), t…

Except for C-suites and boards of directors. Somehow they live in world with 50% annual inflation.

What are you on about?

I am in STEM, too.  I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone in the current market.  Entry level jobs have about the same pay they had 20 years ago.

“Playboy Bunny pay has also apparently been cut from $40 an hour to $25.”

Plus, a lot of Hooters restaurants have been closing.  Those servers should be easy to recruit.

Mmmm.  Bucktown.  I see you decided to go authentic.

I make garlic butter and parmesan cheese popcorn, and it is my favorite.  It also goes great with soft red wine.

We had a crawfish boil yesterday, too. But we were expecting them to be alive when they arrived.  Fortunately, they were.

I haven’t had a Caramello in years, and now I want one.

Whoppers are disgusting.  I will never forget the time I lost my job and someone offered me chocolate to make me feel better and they were Whoppers.  Way to kick a person when they are down.

This was an episode of Mary Tyler Moore. One of the guys was having a party and didn’t have cocktail glasses, so he made the drinks in the jam jars from his fridge.

Stay out of the garnish tray, but if you spill your drink, don’t wait ten minutes trying to flag down the bartender while the drink dribbles down to the floor—just grab a few napkins.
