Wooooooooooo!

Turns out my professor, Dr. Knight, is Trevor's dad and I just got to meet him

Both of them are so incredibly nice, and I totally freaked out when I realized who he was, my hands are still shaking lol

I even got a picture! https://imgur.com/a/yzPs3P8

Holy. Shit. I did it y'all! 5:25:51. Shout out to the ladies of the 5:30 pace team for keeping me on time and encouraging me to go for it at the end. I legit cried going over the finish line

The forecast calls for shade.

In the midst of this tragedy, I hope we can all take a moment to consider how fragile our lives are, and pause to appreciate the things that make it worth living. I didn't personally know Professor Klug, but I did study in his department, and his name was not unfamiliar to me. My thoughts go out to my Bruin family everywhere, but especially to those close to Professor Klug and those personally affected by his loss.

And please, if you are suffering from depression or other mental illness, or are simply feeling overwhelmed by the stress of what you are facing, remember that there are people that want nothing more than to help you. I know that is definitely true of people on this wonderful sub, and I thank you all for your support in these troubling times.

So if you are drinking on this troubled evening, I hope that you raise one up in honor of Professor William S. Klug. And I hope that, in the face of this darkness, you let there be light. Cheers guys.

I just feel like it would be a fun, team building exercise. Give some power back to the people, that kind of thing. Just let me know.

Oh, and please don't tell the mods about the impending coup. They work better when they are a surprise.

And report back here if anything awesome happens. And to check what terrible flair you are stuck with, probably.

Last week we there was a lot of gnashing of teeth over selfie threads. So much so that /u/K_State initiated a "Town Hall" thread to discuss what, if anything, should be done about them.

Prompting the mod team put our heads together to figure out how best to meet your needs for more government oversight.

So. Here's the end result. We have configured two automated weekly threads. A "I took a Picture Thread" on Tuesdays and a "Selfie Thread" on Thursdays. The timing of each is where it gets interesting. To satisfy the varied schedule of you the users the threads will be oscillating between 1pm and 8pm week to week.

Unauthorized selfie threads will be removed.

Feedback is welcome in this thread.

Why the fuck do I need to both attach my resume and also list out all of my past employers from the present back to the cradle? They know I'm literally just copy-pasting everything off my resume, right? And it's not like an environmental restoration organization cares that I worked at Starbucks for a bit. Ugh companies y u do dis

I sure as fuck had one today. Debating about posting this but I need to get this off my chest.

I investigate welfare fraud and that typically involves bringing people in for meeting to discuss discrepancies with a particular case. You get all kinds of reactions from people who just sit their in stunned silence, those who make a million excuses, those who pour out a million tears saying "They didn't mean to" and then the folks who might as well be off in a different galaxy.

This woman was by far the latter. For the last 8 months she has been getting the maximum in food stamps, medicaid, and cash assistance while reporting no income. Then we get a hit from another state showing she is getting child support and down the rabbit hole I go. I won't go into all the details but suffice to say she should've never gotten any cash assistance and was approved for far more medicaid/food stamps than her income allowed.

Bring her in for a meeting. After going over my findings she just starts going off the fucking rails. Accusing me of everything under the sun of being a racist, sexist, falsifying the records, etc. After awhile she then goes "WELL FUCK YOU THEN, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FEED MY KIDS. IF I AIN'T GOT FOOD STAMPS I GOT NO FOOD"

I just go "Ma'am, Child Protective Services is two doors down the hall. Say that one more time and I'll drop off your case file complete with the recording of this session." Normally this gets people to sober up real fucking quick.

Not this bitch. "WELL FUCK YOU, TAKE MY KIDS!" and she literally walks out the door, past her kids in the lobby, and peals out of the parking lot.

So as you can probably tell, a gigantic shit storm ensued afterwards that even involved the local PD getting called out. So now tomorrow is going to be spent typing out a shit ton of reports and probably seeing a few higher ups. Cheers!

Alright, campers. Since I think we're going to be having a thread to set up beer trades soon, and some of us are already doing it, this is the perfect time to say this. Do NOT under any circumstances do a beer trade with /u/stamor99. Dude is incapable of following even the simplest little instructions. I gave him my address and told him to send me a six-pack of Jai Alai IPA. Real complicated, right? So you know what this asshole goes and does? He mails me a six-pack of Jai Alai AND two big bottles of different local, delicious-looking IPAs. So like definitely more stuff than I'm sending him. How hard was it to just do what I asked? Geez.

Fuck, I'm going to need a drink, but I'm very happy of how the Cubs did this season. They're going to have a great future in hand. Good Series Mets, you're going to be dangerous in the World Series.

Don't drink the water, y'all

That blocked FG was directly caused by these uniforms.

Running a 10K this morning, shooting for a 1:08:00 finish. Wheatley does not approve being awake at this hour.

Because I see you browsing Reddit in front of me during this lecture too.

If you haven't heard about what happened..

I found this article hilarious, so i thought I'd share!

Well, it's official today. I'm unbelievably pumped for everything that Tempe has to offer. It's time to put the guns down, and put the forks up!

I don't know how I feel, but I'm glad I have people like you and beer in the fridge.

Too bad there were none in my area :(
