This. And forget to unsilence it. So much happier now that I can turn notifications off at night.

Constantly snagging the sundial arm of your watch on random things would be pretty annoying.

It's getting close to colonoscopy prep time once again. The fridge is stocked with several different colors of jello in my neverending quest to eventually piss a rainbow out of my ass. I've just taken the overnight laxative. Tomorrow is prep day! The day after is scope day!
I lost ten pounds doing that. Then promptly gained it back, as I demanded my wife take me to my favorite deli on the way home from the hospital for a homemade 16 inch meatball sandwich. Eating that sandwich high on medical grade drugs after starving myself for two days was damn near a religious experience.
Black Friday. There’s not much media this time of year where you aren’t bombarded endlessly with:
Buy! Buy! BUY THIS SHIT!
what? you don't need shit?
seems odd.
^ Well, it’s shit that annoys me.

hard to argue with facts...
Welp, the story gets better. Sitting at work the next day and my phone alerts me that the front door camera was activated. Check and it’s the floor guy, 1030 of course. I proceed to watch him drink directly from a bottle of Wild Turkey for the next few hours (I see him look around and stand close to his trailer like no one can see him), But I figure this ain’t the first time homeboy has worked drunk, so I let him do his thing. Come home from work at 5 half expecting him to be passed out somewhere, but he’s in the kitchen doing his thing, telling me that the project is taking longer than expected (yeah no shit, you’re working 2 hours a day). But I let it go, after all, it’s a line item on my invoice and I’m not paying hourly. If it takes a few extra days I guess it’s not that big a deal.
Fast forward to Friday at noon, and I tell the general I’m headed out of town for the next few days and ask him to lock up after the floor guy is done, of course he agrees. Come home Monday and the cabinets have been installed, great. But…the floor looks like shit, grain is standing up, not smooth, and there are large water marks on some planks that were supposed to be replaced that are now partially under cabinets. I call the general yesterday and tell him he needs to come and look, so I get to leave work and do that today. So yeah, annoyed. Even if the contractor makes this right without much arm twisting it’s going to be a huge pain in the ass.
Show him the wild turkey vid
If he is licensed I'm sure the licensing agency and his insurance co would have issues with the drinking.
"Why don't people want to work in the trades?"
Yep, that's GTFO and don't come back, tools in the snowbank behavior for me. And that's as the GC. But drunks as tradesmen is not uncommon I just don't allow it or want to be around it. The Yeti tumbler is usually the give away.
Interesting tangent regarding tumblers. I realized a lot more of the moms (and dads) at my son's sports events were drinking in public than I ever thought. My wife clued me in. She started bringing a drink in a tumbler so I started paying more attention to other people with tumblers. Of course my wife would hang the string and label from a tea bag out from under the lid in a funny and unnecessary attempt to disguise the drink.
Totally normalized. I don't like it. I'm not anti drinking. But I am anti drinking culture and having a booze component and every event. It's toxic.
I can't explain it but since the pandemic, everything involves booze. Pub Crawls for the trails alliance, cocktails at the hockey rink, tumbler day drinking everywhere.
When i graduated college and started drinking in public as an adult in my hometown, it really opened my eyes to how many of my childhood friends' parents were either heavy drinkers or outright alcoholics. A lot of the "fun" dads or coaches i remembered from my youth were actually just shitfaced a lot of the time it turned out.
I just assume that if it is after noon, that tumbler is filled with alcohol.
I’m a little confused about the volume thing on your phone. If I put my phone on silent mode the alarms and timer still sound off. What am I missing here?

Weed culture, too. It's sort of crazy how much you smell weed just going about your daily activities nowadays.
I get it, I don’t understand why someone would gripe about not having different volume settings for notifications/ringtone and alarms/timers. I guess their phone is smarter than they are?Quote:

I'll agree it's better than tobacco smoke, but I am surprised some people like the smell of weed.
I’m not :biggrin:
Ha ha, well I suppose weed smokers get used to the smell. I will say when I'm walking around the hood and smell weed I think "that's cool, these people are relaxing at home" but it's a bit more off-putting when you smell it coming from a car on the road.
