This weekend I got to make sandwiches for 3 of the most important people in my life - Wife Bae, Special Big Bro, and Favorite Cousin. Each of them clearly expressed that the sandwiches I make are their absolute favorite. Such validation OMG

Favorite Cousin: “Remember the sandwich you made me yesterday? Could you please make that exact same thing again today?” Special Big Bro to FC, eating the half sandwich he requested: “I wish I asked for a bigger sandwich cause I want to keep eating this”

Just spent 45 min writing a cover letter and they just... didn't ask for it

This Black MAGA creator says she “cannot believe the disrespect” after being removed from a San Antonio rally hosted by Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton!?!?! Why would they treat her this way???

But why even hire someone you have to fire 5 days later? Knowing they don’t like working on Columbus Day to boot?

Oh hi, folks in charge! you got a sip of water? A little sip? FROM THE FIREHOSE WE DRINK FROM ALL DAY? How’s that water taste, boss?

Got tickets for Dracula through a silent auction supporting Knox (they work to green Hartford) which in itself is fantastic. Called for the seats Wife Bae prefers.

Probably for the first time since we started dating she was visibly disappointed with my outfit (hadn’t changed much out of my usual preppy sailboat ready work outfit). But of course she wanted to fit the theme so we quickly changed to black on black.

For me this involves cuff links, a dark red pocket square, black Pride Converse, & a rose broach. We call this look the sexy vampire 🧛 and she’s a Halloween month staple in our house

Sounds like such a fake excuse to be late to something everyone knows you don’t want to do. But I stg the scooter was here 3 min before I planned to leave . For some reason Veo is still showing it on the map but, nope

Would love a commuter rail system where being 10 seconds late for the train doesn’t make you half hour + late to your destination! Tysm.

View full thread

Update: the bus was a train. But then the train was a bus! Platform said train was coming as actual bus came and left. Ended up calling out the rest of the day and taking myself to lunch while waiting for a later for sure train, not bus

I called CT Transit who did help with information. Hopefully the call was as unexpected and annoying as my experience trying to catch trains was today

Would love a commuter rail system where being 10 seconds late for the train doesn’t make you half hour + late to your destination! Tysm.

Hartford Line schedule says it’s a bus. But a train showed up. Schedule says departure at 12:10. Platform schedule says 12:14. TOO BAD IT’S IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO KNOW

Will I miss a bus waiting on a train platform? Who’s to say it’s unknowable and unshareable information in the year of our lord 2026

It's neighborhood meeting time y'all! Let's goooo and shout out to everyone who lives in a neighborhood where the neighborhood board people join the 7 pm zoom call at 6:58 pm

Good news everyone. The mayor is rebranding every single department who presents to us! As if we can just take in new knowledge like this and still know what the different departments actually do. "Paths and Trails" "Community Empowerment" what are we saying

My 28-year-old advisor at work asked if he could have Tuesday afternoon (our staff meeting time) off. He explained he had friends, one of whom just got engaged, coming into town from all parts; and this was the one time they could all get together.

Mind you, I was on vacation last month on staff meeting day, so there's really no leg to stand on to deny this request. But also, a year from now, he won't remember what happened at the staff meeting. But he will remember gathering with his buddies and celebrating the engagement.
