This isn't creating housing or a bunch of jobs.
Just using already limited resources.
Are you going to shut them down when residents are put on zero watering to preserve water? No.
We just lose even more.

Voting all these fuckers out next civil election.

I have voted constantly against a proposed data centre coming to town.
It finally got approved (of course) with a PITTANCE of a penalty if they use more water than allotted.
"oh they should only use as much water as a typical apartment building" - sure, but for NO benefit to the city.

Me - totally just dipping my spoon into the cream cheese I have at work.

Coworker - are you eating *just* cream cheese?

Me - blank response

Coworker - hey, I respect that.

😂

Our premier is trying to convince you guys to get on board - he just got rid of any future changes after tonight.

There's this hot tow truck guy who flirts with me via text but is only looking for "casual" so I don't go further.
But when he actually comes to my work to pick something up my body talks to my brain like "look you logical bitch - this would be fun what's your problem." 🙄
Traitor.

One of my best friends / sexual partners is rather right leaning - though, as he's older, his "right" is more financial than social sense.
There's "right-wing" and "right-leaning" and that's different.
Not disregarding PEOPLE is where agree to disagree went wrong in political discussion.

I took a week of holidays last week.
My title is TRACTOR dispatch but I help the smaller trucks where needed.
Hearing the smaller trucks saying "hey, our MAIN dispatcher is back!" was nice.
I'm not for those guys - but I'm the one who will always answer my phone so it gets that way for them... 🙄

My issue with posts like this is no - this is not universal.

I once nearly died because class wasn't cancelled in a snowstorm and I had an exam. My drive on a normal day was only 20 minutes.

My prof's response when I told her? "you would have failed the exam if you missed it. Move closer then."

I've come to realize that as "anti-social" as I am - I really do trip into like attracts like and do fine.
Interacting at a party? Fuck that.
Someone else I've seen a few times at a secluded spot just having a breather?
Hi, we're now best buds and enjoying our quiet time together laughing.

My tattoo artist and I spent the first ten minutes or so of my appointment geeking out about new Pokemon starters...

Let's just say there's a reason I've been going to her for the past few years. Lol

The lady I've gone to for my last three tattoos is booked through til April but she decided to squeeze me in for a small memorial tattoo on Friday morning.
It's nothing fancy. I could have trawled local places to walk-in and get it done. But I like and trust her and I love that it worked out. 💜

I realize it's inappropriate to admit, but as someone who has problems falling asleep, I just have to say...
The times that I actually zonk out vs laying there forever are the times that I have had such a good orgasm that I can't even move to put my vibe away.
🤷‍♀️

Winter here sure has been a shit mix...
Read a news story on Friday about a local ski mountain excited about finally getting snow to open up a bunch of runs that were still closed.
Today? Story that they had to close everything cause of TOO MUCH snow and blizzard conditions. 🙃

Photo of the night sky. The moon is slightly over the treeline, with a weird object surrounded in a halo of light above it.

Y'know, I'm not a "UFO" type person, but I'm 42 and I have NEVER seen something gliding through the night sky with this sort of aura/halo around it before in my life.
Not a great photo cause night + cell phone, but that thing over the moon? Wtaf? 😳
Please make sense for me.

We generally have snacks in dispatch, and like to offer stuff to the drivers at our windows especially if they're having a long day.
Reminded my co-dispatchers to not offer one driver for the next month as he fasts for Ramadan. Not that he'd take offense, but I figure we can quietly acknowledge.

It's tough when it's the middle of the night and the dogs want to pee but I can hear the neighbour owl chattering away in her tree...

I know she really only goes for rodents but the girls are SMALL and it's a scary possibility at 2am. 😳

Found out tonight that someone I considered a good friend spread bullshit about me this weekend.

I'm not only pissed but I'm HURT. I don't know why she would do something like that and it feels really shitty. 😕

Small but (cute and) mighty. This new stapler I got for work has a distinctly satisfying snap AND it's adorable at the same time.

I have long-since been tired of night crew fucking with my personal objects on my desk - don't touch MY shit.
But I lost it today when I realized that MY kit I leave in the bathroom had no pads left in it.
I don't CARE, use if you need. But fuck, at least tell me if you took the last one. 😡

Should not have felt so close but I was hesitant after the pats got a touchdown. Lol

As much as my logical brain responds to the technical side of figure skating, recognizing interesting / well done moves or things that could have been smoother...
I really react to the performances. Pairs in it together? Routines that line up well with moving music? I'm sniffling my way through. 🙄

Thank you!
I have many friends who will help me learn - that's what led me to getting my license in the first place (safety for being around their guns).
It's the initial purchase that has me hesitant. A safety course doesn't teach how to BUY. lol

My momma just about made me cry...
Told her I was thinking about buying a .22 to actually learn how to shoot and she said Nana would be so proud of me.
My grandparents ran the local gun range while I was growing up and I never got into it... Like to think she IS proud even years later.... 💜

*multiple* shoppers drug mart stores in this town with the product I want IN STOCK and their stupid website says that "order online for pickup in store" is not available?

What kind of horseshit is that? Don't have that as an option on your website if it's not actually a thing.

Okay let's clarify that by saying I shouldn't get reminders for someone *not in my household / in a relationship with*.

That's different, obviously. Before that gets raised by a rando.

Y'know, I really don't mind helping people when I know how to do things more comfortably than they do.
But I still wonder how you get to 40 yrs old without knowing how to book certain appointments.
Or at least how to figure it out yourself.
I shouldn't get car appt reminders for someone else's car.

Yep, exactly.

People would actually care about you and enrich your life if you gave two shits about anyone other than yourself.

It doesn't take money to do that - and the fact that he HAS it and still doesn't? Of course there's no goodwill extended his way.

HIS kind of money legit could buy happiness.

If what makes you happy is being a good person and the results that come from that.

Unfortunately for him.... 🙄

I think it says a lot about the (lack of) stability in a party when they can't even agree on a mere handful of candidates who should be running for leadership.

If everyone ends up running they clearly have no cohesiveness.
