  • Oh shit, you’re right. Photo was probably taken from the Marz Brewing thing by the corner of Western and Armitage.

    The intersection of Western/Armitage/Milwaukee is a pain in the dick for all. Pedestrians have to wait at three busy crosswalks to get to the train station. Drivers don’t know what lane to be in or whether they need to take a soft or hard left to continue onto the street they want.

    They did recently bump out the curbs at the crosswalk, which is nice for pedestrians, but the cagers were upset because it created a bottle neck.


  • I knew a girl that made Gazpacho from a hand written recipe that a French exchange student had left us.

    The recipe, amongst other ingredients, said ‘2 Garlic’.

    We took that to mean two heads of garlic, instead of two cloves.

    That was some spicy ass soup. We sweated our way through it because it was painfully delicious.

    No matter how much I showered or brushed my teeth, I radiated garlic for the next couple days and had to explain myself at my barista job.

    “The other factor is those 214,000 employees don’t all work full time. A high percentage are part time.”

    That’s the Gotcha, most of these employees are part time, it scheduled to be just under full time so they won’t qualify for any benefits.

    I’ve been management at places that have required me to schedule people at 27.5 hours or 31.5 hours. This was mall retail in the aughts, so things may have changed, but they’ve probably only gotten worse.

    Corporate would rather have a bunch of part timers that have to be constantly replaced than a solid team of full timers that actually want to grow with the company.

    Once again, I haven’t had to hire or write a schedule in over a decade, so let me know if I am wrong.





  • My mother’s house had one of these pleasant looking Razor Disposal Slots in a medicine cabinet. When we redid the bathroom there was just a pile of ancient rusty razor blades behind the wall.

    Boomer era foresight. They probably dumped their used engine oil into holes in the back garden as well.
