Sorta, not super far, but places like Chino Hills which is like 40 mins+, especially with traffic.

We're actually looking for a temp receptionist and temp paralegal for a few months and the receptionist position is just flooded with applications.  Paralegal one not as much even though it's the better paying job.  But that makes sense since more experienced people are more likely to be fully employed already.

Interesting. I don't really work with businesses that hire and fire often so I'm totally ignorant of what the job market is like here atm.

The job market does indeed suck. I even applied for multiple receptionist positions last year.

Edit: Dug deep into some repressed memories and realized it was more than one.

The current job market is why I'm glad I didn't go to college. All you suckers with your thousands of dollars in loans, applying to your highly competitive minimum wage salaries and table scraps lost. I get all that without the loans on top of it. I made it. :rejoice

Nice, my 10 year old beard trimmer is pretty sucky.  Basically have to trim too much and let it regrow for a few days to get where I really want it.

I started going to a barber shop this year every couple of months and they great work with my beard.  Hopefully using a better trimmer will give similar results.

My only gripe with it is that it doesn't trim the hair near my jaw socket well, but my beard is basically House M.D. permastubble atm so inconsistent cuts are a lot more noticeable.

Dragon-Con is going on this weekend.  It's complete insanity right around where I work downtown...cosplay nerds, crazies, and bums make for an interesting mix.  They had to make people line up and wait to get on the escalator because, per the station attendant, "ya'll broke this thing last year.  We gotta limit the amount of weight that gets on at a time."

A while back I shooped this, for this post, I think it should be an emote

(Image removed from quote.)

So I was googling for an attractive female... :quark doing some kind of troll face so it would be a suitable emote to do that L shaped emote thing. So anyways after finding this girl's pic and doing the shoop I couldn't help get this girl out of my mind. Despite her doing that silly face I was staring at the original pic like ohmygawd so kawaii. :noah And I'm still not over it. (Image removed from quote.) Who is she? What's her name? Is she single, and open to a relationship with a non-white, balding male? (Image removed from quote.)

And besides, as far as emotes are concerned, it's too male centric. I mean... if ya'll are cool with the bore being a sausage fest... just sayin'. (Image removed from quote.)

Quoting this post so you can't come back and delete it later out of shame.

Speaking of canabis, some dude that lives on the same floor as me thought I gave him weed when he moved in.

The first time we met like two years ago, he said hi to me like I met him before then, so fearing that I actually forgot him and seem like a jerk, I pretended I knew him as well and now it's too late to change the charade.  :doge

Honey is the only food which doesn't go bad. But most hot sauces are very self preserving. If you've had it refrigerated, it is probably still okay... Maybe?

AB InBev supposedly controls 20% of the world beer market, SABMiller and Heineken both have a respective 9-10% share.

What I always found SUPER crazy is that sometimes pubs (this may only be in some countries) pay more per liter then consumers in the supermarket.

They are stuck with mental contracts with the likes of Heineken meanwhile the huge supermarkets force them into lower pricing or sell beer at a loss to atract custom.
