The kids still have school. I head home for my son's graduation the weekend of May 18th. I'll load up the 'ol UHaul since we aren't millionaires and drive it up here. They will drive up on Memorial Day Weekend.

My wife bought me one of the Bird Buddy bird feeders for my birthday, which sends pictures/video to your phone of the birds that visit.

Also been walking down with my DSLR pretty regularly to the park near me where migratory birds (such as warblers and grosbeaks) visit every spring. Excitedly told my wife that I got some good pictures of a Louisiana waterthrush the other day. When did this ******* happen to me?

I don't mean to brag, but I took some pictures of a yellow-rumped warbler today.

Damn....you are up there. Looks like right in the middle of some great parks and outdoors.

Looks like you need to start playing disc golf if you haven't already.
 
I know I should just ditch the passive-aggressiveness but man I am getting sick of hearing the IT guy that sits in the space behind me at work and his huge, booming laugh. Anytime he's on a Teams call, he does it with this huge, over-ear headphones so I don't think he realizes how effing loud he laughs. I am wearing earbuds, listening to music at a decent volume and I can still hear him laugh. He's on 5-6 calls a day, 15-20 minutes at a time and laughs a good 5-6 times per call. If I told my supervisor, she would tell his supervisor and it would be obvious who was the complaining party. I guess I just have to work through it.

Over the ear/noise canceling headphones an option? Or an option when he's on the call?

Battle it with louder laughter?

Whatever you do, don't politely let him know to be aware of his volume when he's on his zooms.

I should bring mine in. Honestly, though, I bet I'd still hear him. The laugh is.... quite impressive.

Somebody here has to be skilled at audio editing...I'd record some audio snippits of this guy's laugh, and then see if you can remix it into something and then play it at your desk at low volume till he notices.

Think of it as the audio version of my cow photoshop prank.

Pranks aside - I need to get on your IT guy's calls - 30 belly laughs a day from work calls....that's good humor.

ugandan poison blowdart to the trachea is nearly untraceable if done correctly take that to the bank brochacho
 
A friend is in town for work and staying at a hotel just down the street from me. It wasn’t the preferred hotel, but the other one nearby was basically fully booked other than some $400/night rooms. But the Hampton typically is ok anyway.

Well, apparently their keycard system is down and has been down for 2 days now. So the only way to get into your room is to have someone from the front desk walk you to your room and scan their badge.

So go work out in the morning? Gotta get escorted back.

Grab breakfast in the morning? Gotta get escorted back.

Go down a floor to get ice? Gotta get escorted back.

So dumb. You’d think that would be an emergency fox type situation for a hotel that takes maybe hours to fix, not something that is allowed to take days to fix.

holy **** the steps those hotel concierges are putting in by having to let an entire hotel of people in/out of their rooms for days.

It’s insane. The hotel is just about full too.

And it’s a security nightmare. After hanging out for a while last night, we went back to his hotel to watch some of the NBA playoffs. When we went in, they just asked him what room he was in and walked us back and let him in. No ID check, no check in their system to verify it was his room, nothing. Talk about a situation easily exploitable by a criminal.

Since the pandemic, it seems like the posture of the entire hotel industry is "we DGAF". This is another example of that.

My buddy asked about that and they said that they couldn’t even do that. Or maybe they were just too incompetent to do that.

I’d figure out a hiding spot for valuables (safe or rental vehicle) and jury-rig the door lock to remain open all the time.
 
Laziness has gripped ahold of me tightly and so instead of putting in the effort it takes to make my usual sandwich with condiments, pickles and lettuce, I am toasting two slices of bread and putting pepper-turkey and pepper-jack cheese between the slices and then microwaving the sandwich and I'll be honest, I'm really excited for this. HOOOORAY LAZINESS!
