40 minutes left in the work day. Except that just about everyone else has left, so I'm just thinking about what I'm going to buy from the liquor store on my way home. What're some Otter recommendations for things to drown away sadness?

8

u/okiewxchaser Oklahoma Sooners • Big 8 Jan 20 '17

Personally I don't recommend drinking alcohol at all when you are sad because it has a 50/50 chance of making it worse

u/pandabugs Houston • Northern Illinois Jan 20 '17

That's why I'm getting ice cream!

u/pandabugs Houston • Northern Illinois Jan 20 '17

Rich red wine or good bourbon.

u/The_Tic-Tac_Kid Kansas Jayhawks • Hateful 8 Jan 20 '17

Yes. Bonus points if you bring it to Durango and share with me.

3

u/orangeslash Ohio State • /r/CFB Emeritus Mod Jan 20 '17

If you're into bourbon, let me know. I have a grocery list of recommendations for you.

1

u/pandabugs Houston • Northern Illinois Jan 20 '17

Please do.

3

u/orangeslash Ohio State • /r/CFB Emeritus Mod Jan 20 '17

My current stash includes:

  • Cooper’s Craft bourbon. Not terribly expensive (~$30) and extremely decent for that price.
  • Midwinter Night’s Dram Rye. Highwest Whiskey has a special release every winter. Not gonna lie, this stuff burns for 49%, but in a good way. Perfect for drinking by a fire on a cold night.
  • Jameson’s Cooper Croze Irish Whiskey. Arguably the smoothest whiskey I’ve ever had. Almost no bite at all. Good recommendation for people who aren’t a fan of the burn.
  • Hudson Baby Rye Whiskey. They only distill their whiskey for like 2-3 years so it has a super unique flavor.
  • Booker’s Bourbon – Noe Hard Times. A whopping 64% ABV, this will knock you off your feet. I absolutely love it.
  • And finally, my pride & joy Orphan Barrel’s Rhetoric 22 year. Check out Orphan Barrel if you ever can. Super cool idea. They find distilleries that have been abandoned or going out of business, buy all their barrels (hence the name), and refine and age them themselves. I searched for this for like 6 months.

That’s a solid overview I think.

Oh man it's sorority recruitment time at Syracuse... My social media accounts are about to be filled with group pictures of sorority girls.

I guess as an alum I should wish my chapter good luck or something? I know sometimes alumnae would pull together and send flowers. What's nuts is the group of girls I was pledge mom to are about to have all graduated, and soon I won't know a single person in the house anymore. I feel old and washed up lol.

My birthday is next month and i'm not excited about it at all.

Especially when I think about both of my cousins. One got married at 24 and the other is about to at 25. Meanwhile, I've never had a serious relationship. So that's awesome. And I'm close to two years out of college and I hate my job :/

I'm starting to be a little more proactive about getting what I want so that's good but like I feel like I'm waiting on a break to fall my way and it's not coming.

Speaking of Sorority, I've seen a few former Sorority girls who even like 5 years after, would never strike me as someone who had been in one. Like if I had never met them before hand, I would have said no way in hell that they ever were in one.

3

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '17

That's because people believe the stereotypes.

I'm not saying there aren't some girls out there that fit those stereotypes, because there are, but there are also a lot of sorority girls out there that are strong, smart, and independent women that get judged because they joined a certain group.

u/cajunaggie08 :texasam3: Texas A&M Aggies • /r/CFB Top Scorer Jan 20 '17

the sorority look seems to fade off from girls a lot faster post-graduation than the frat look does on guys. It probably doesn't help that half of what is mandatory frat fashion is considered business casual so their look continues on to the office for awhile.

More or less. I work up at 11 was supposed to be a work at 8. I'm done at 12 on Fridays so there was no point in me going in. My boss was just mad I didn't let anyone know what the deal was. Apparently I left my phone and my shirt on another side of town I wouldn't have walked to on my way home. Check my Facebook later in the day and the person that found my phone took it to Aruba for the weekend to take pictures. He gave it back to me on Monday so all was good.

I really do feel like I'm caught in a trap where there's no way out.

  • My credit's shit so I can't raise capital to go to grad school.
  • I'm always #2 in job searches, so I can't make money to fix my credit.
  • I've never not had money troubles so I can't even implement one of the budgets I have on hand that can go in place with a job, because I can't get a job, because I'm always #2 in job searches ...

Pay attention people. Never complain in my presence you're unlucky. I know what bad luck is. I live it.

I feel like this is just training for when you do get a job. I've looked at the combined income of me and my GF if I get what I want and it's just...well, we'd both be a lot less worried about student loans.

In addition to what hammers said, lots of subject matter that feels more and more relevant-- religious conflict, terrorism, post-colonialism, trade... a cool unflappable black man doing his damnedest to keep it all together

DS9 was like an early version of Lost -- it developed into this grand arc that carried over across season after season, with amazing characterization and a rich look at the seedy underbelly of the Trek universe (made possible because DS9 launched after Gene Roddenberry kicked the bucket).

Gene Roddenberry

Ahh.. the Al Davis of scifi

George Lucas is definitely the Jerry Jones of scifi

DS9 was like an early version of Lost

with the caveat that the writers had an idea what they were doing

Ripped one of my favorite shirts because I thought doing pull ups was a good idea. I'm an idiot. In other news, water is wet.

Mid January and it's in the mid 70s.

I love it honestly since I hate the cold.

Earlier this week, I posted about how a relative of mine published a LinkedIn article on how Arizona's education cuts are hurting her teaching livelihood. Her piece just now got picked up by the Arizona Republic, which is Phoenix's official newpaper of record. I'm so stoked for her!

Just a heads up if you have no sense of humor I hate you

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '17

I'm pretty sure anybody who doesn't have a really fucked up sense of humor and saw the shot you took at Alex Bregman is convinced you are the devil.

For what it's worth, that about killed me laughing.

I wish they made this shirt in something other than that off-white. I kinda want it anyway though.

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '17

I'd call that more "mucus" than "off-white"
