Work best friends are the best. She just literally saved my life. Asthma is no joke especially when you have no inhaler at the office and said bestie has to walk to parking garage, have them pull down your car to get you an inhaler. Also, headache from lack of oxygen to the brains suck asshole. BUT, I am still alive and that is really all that matters.
im not usually one to stress out about stuff. but right now my anxiety is killing me.
I decided to accept a new job. It's about a 10% paycut and I will lose a lot of flexiblity in my hours/ability to work from home, but it will be much more in my wheelhouse (alzheimer's research vs. patent law). the biggest issue is my wife has to present at two different conferences for her own research and will be gone for a week in october and 5 days in november. I was initially going to use may last week of vacay a the current job to stay home in October, then have the week after be my last there. the new job wants me to start ASAP (like, put in my two weeks TODAY). which would make that plan impossible. so now I'm trying to juggle when to quit, convince my new job to let me start later, defend my dissertation Nov. 7, and find childcare for a week in October. Plus now that I can't work from home 2 days a week, we need to find permanent childcare so ms. snowman can go to campus to run her experiments twice a week. I'm not too keen on putting a 6 month old into daycare, but what else can you do? Moral of the story is don't have kids unless grandma lives nearby or something.
snowman does it help at all knowing your stress and anxiety brings Dave Maynar pleasure?
If anything, I can relate to the stresses he has going on. Being able to parent and carry on adult lives is an extraordinarily hard job. In situations where people don't have a ready support system like grandparents, I really don't see how they function. I'm not even talking about going out/seeing shows/whatever, I just mean doing adult job related activities which is seemingly a more common occurrence where both parents want/have to have a career during their children's young years.

100% this. My folks moved away when Kyle was still in diapers. I ended up becoming friends with one of my son's father's exes and she was my life saver. I was bartending and had a toddler and life was hectic and impossible. If it wasn't for her I don't know what I would have done.

Momma is here and I’m off to a show. For the first time in my life, I’m physically scared of what could transpire. Fortunately, there’s a hospital three blocks from the venue. Fingers crossed, guys!
Trying to understand cryptocurrencies is pissing me off. Between the vast amount of currencies, mechanics, trading platforms, processing and convenience currencies such as Ripple (XRP)- it's just an assload of information to try to process. Having missed the meteoric rises of Bitcoin and Ethereum, I really want in at Ripple at $0.25. Obviously I missed the $0.01 level, but if it gets to $250, $1000 becomes $1,000,000. I don't want to miss the second or third floor opportunities where the possibility of 1000 x investment returns exists. But it's a lot for someone like me who is old and struggles with the anything beyond the basic concepts. Fucking shit. I want to get rich like everyone else who is fing around in those markets, but I don't want to go off half cocked and lose. :mad:

I’m okay. I did 4 songs each band and the rest from the bar behind the wall. The bartender looked at me and asked why I wasn’t back there (there was less than 50 people in the concert hall). I explained my situation and she stared at me blankly. Then she screamed “HUH?!?” and went on with other customers. I’ve got a new favorite bartender in town now.
How long did it last? They're playing here tomorrow night, but I have two concerts in a row, and was wondering if I can just squeeze them in between.
You’re not gonna be able to do that, I don’t think. Show was at 9 and over after Midnight. Next tour.
Challenge accepted.
Seriously though, my first show is an early one and the second is a very late one (I believe Leon Vynehall will not start before 1 AM). I believe I might make it happen. So, they play for about 2 hours then?
This woman says she was drugged and raped by The Gaslamp Killer. Please no one post about that piece of shit ever again.
I feel so weird about situations like this. I feel that accusations should be taken seriously but I also don't think he should be considered guilty automatically.

Yea there's no good way to deal with something like this. I wanted to post it because no matter what it's important to know the whole conversation around any artist you might want to support.
With an accusation like that I'm always inclined to believe the victim. She has a lot more to lose from saying something like this than she stands to gain. Gaslamp Killer is successful public figure. He's not going to lose money from this or get tossed in jail. And I am absolutely willing to hear an argument against this woman's story.
My initial post was probably too reactionary. No matter what though it's important to validate and listen to people when they open up like this so other possible victim's might feel empowered to share their experiences too. I think that's worth the cost of some momentary dsicomfort.
