Honestly, my son has tried to get a job for over two years, now.
He gets an instant interview, just from an online form, but when they meet him ... no deal.

It becomes painful after twenty or so.

Yes, I know this one. Feeling sorry for our kids. They deserve better

I got on the waiting list May 18.

It's now official.  I'm number 8 in line to read The Cursed Child from the library.  YEA!
I have read about a third of it so far. Very good.

It's usually shortened to the ARC. 

This post has been modified to remove some unpleasant and unacceptable whining. I edited it rather than deleted it because I know deleting it messes up something or another and creates problems for odeon.

Picked up The Cursed Child and read it.  Moves at a pretty good clip, some nice plot twists, predictable ending.

I feel so unbelievably lucky to have gotten it from the library the first day.  I reserved it May 18.  No idea how long the hold list is.  But it must be enormous.  Instead of being able to keep it for 21 days, it's only a 7 day checkout.

I managed to take a computer apart and mostly put it back together. I needed a bit of help with the power supply cord ends, I forgot where some of them went. Best thing was that it worked when I switched it on afterwards.

Nice! I'm still nervous about doing that without a certified geek present.

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Just checked the fridge to see what I'm going to have for my prebreakfast, to take out a couple of packs of cheese slices while I wait for my old man to come back from his shopping trip and bring me my canned grapefruit and cartons of grapefruit juice, and found that I did indeed have one beer left, a bottle of guinness pale, brewer's project, plus a can of 'KA' black grape pop, that I had totally forgotten I'd bought. Love that stuff, its got a really distinctive scent to it that I KNOW I have smelled before somewhere but try as I might I cannot place it at all.

Took a nice walk, picked up recyclables and trash on the stretch of road I have adopted to keep clean.   Drinking and driving, as American as apple pie and assault rifles.  As the New Hampshire state motto goes, "Live free or Die", or in this case "Live Free AND DIE and make sure you take somebody else with you!
