My boss just lies. My predecessor DID have open heart surgery, and retired so he could have a heart replacement, so he missed a lot of time. They used to have a “sick time bank” but turned it off and enabled rollover instead. So my boss apparently just told everyone he was in his office for 6 weeks while he was hospitalized. Nice, but shouldn’t have to risk your own career and retirement to be human.

Yep two fingers means “I’m from here” so I love the puzzled looks.

I learned to do this growing up, the two fingers up off the steering wheel, and I instinctively do it in rural areas now, it always cracks my husband up when this gay city dude is waving at country rednecks and they’re waving back

The nice thing is tho, if a neighborhood is built without one, it’s almost impossible to start one. So if we had a way to focus on the shitty developers who want to attract white flight by making racist HOAs, we could see progress. But we can’t do things like that, those developers are in charge.
