Brain Drain

And then their first thought afterwards had to have been:

I NEED MCDONALD’S!!! NOW!!!

Seriously. We did over $4000 in sales between 11pm and 5am…

(The literal most we’ve made on an overnight shift since 2020 started.)

The last time I head anything even close to last night was when the Bomb Cleaners detonated a Block Buster over in the old Pine Castle bombing range. This was louder and it was sustained, nearly 30 minutes.

Now you’ve got me wanting a 1/4 Pounder with Cheese. What New Year’s Resolution???

Speaking of McDonald’s (we were, weren’t we?), are the cinnamon rolls decent? I have a coupon…

NO!

The icing might as well be glue…

(Or at least tastes like it…)

Undercooked, and way too much icing stays on it. Overcooked, and you can bash someone’s skull in with it…

15 seconds is the proper time it takes to “Q” it. (Microwave for all you non McDonald’s employees…)

The apple fritter on the other hand…

Delaware is now doing the no single use bag thing . Probably not a big deal if your not doing store pick up and can take your own bags . So now I have to find a plastic bin so stuff is not rolling all over the truck bed . Also now I have to find a new source of litter bags. :expressionless:

Reuseable bags are a potential Covid vector. They need to be washed after each use … which never happens.

They get nasty, much cleaner to use plastic bags and put them in the burnable trash.

We had a large collection of Reusables, but they’ve been relegated to garage storage … until they disintegrate.

That’s the biggest concern, especially since we have 4 fur babies, and they produce a lot of waste…

Cleaned my email out today . Have 5 packages arriving late from USPS . Each package had 10 to 15 messages telling me they are arriving late . Local Post Master keeps closing cases with not actually solving the issue . Not sure why he’s involved in the first place since they are all stuck someplace else .

I’m still missing two packages I sent to my sister in Indiana, they’re listed as “probably lost”, but post office says they might still show up.

In the Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation thread I talked about it being the second isekai anime I have seen in which the MC was reborn in the new world, just this morning I remembered 2 more (As I type this, I remembered another show that might have done this, but the anime might have skipped the details to know for sure)

Though one of the 2 I just remembered, they were reborn, but didn’t have the memories of their past life until later on, they just woke up one morning was like “Oh! I died on Earth and was born in this life with extra powers that I asked not to have!”

That shipping cost…

Hopefully they hold out to they come out as it’s because they are charging shipping per item instead of combining like with other things . Records seem to be a issue with pre-orders .

Though the new EVA vinyl they have coming out is 7000 yen shipping by itself . Yet some box sets are under 2000 yen

Quickly back to this, I sent a package to someone back on December 3 via USPS, and they received it on December 10. However, the tracking number is still active and it says it’s still “in processing”.

Don’t really think the post office does a very good job with the tracking. :roll_eyes:

Got that feeling when I was on the phone .

That and the feeling they don’t care . She kept saying I’ve heard that station is having issues . When I asked why they don’t send someone there to find the issue she changed the subject . Yeah now I have to file a missing mail claim for the one that can’t be replaced .

And changing subjects entirely…

You know I don’t hate streaming like I used to just dislike that it takes multiple subscriptions to see everything . Be nice if the companies would just share a service , charge more , and split the profits . It’s one of those can’t we all just get along for the greater good scenarios . Answer is going to probably always be no unless a anti-trust law breaking company is allowed . Which if history proves right is bad .

Something I’m curious about I bought a blu-ray player from the uk .

The power adapter reads
Input AC 110-240V, 50/ 60Hz

Output 12v 0.8 amp . With the player listing input as the 12v 0.8amp . Makes me wonder if I had a US plug that had that output if it’d work instead of me running through a step up step down transformer .
