Random Thoughts the 13th: Jason Takes RTT

Boss told me we'd be done by 2 today, so I could watch the game. Just got home. More money for tickets I suppose.

I think I may have found a more passive aggressive populace than Minnesota here in Bermuda. It's actually pretty unreal. Canadian you're fine and American you're not. I've been lying more than not and saying I am from Windsor Canada just so I don't get the crap

Up your game, work on an Aussie accent.

Fist bump of solidarity for 13 year old cars.

But I really really really really really want mine to hold out for another year or more.

Here’s to an 06 and a 98.

Not gonna lie. Idk what it is about me but I can barely just barely tell the difference between and Aussie accent and most British accents. I'm deaf in one ear so I guess I have an excuse? I feel like I should be able to tell but I **** it up all the time

I'm also horrible at trying accents myself

Got a call from a staffing company for a job. We worked together on my resume and some things.
How long should I expect before I hear anything, positive or negative? It's only been a couple weeks, so I'm probably just antsy.

Speaking of accents, how come actresses almost always need to lose their accents for American movies but actors sometimes get to keep their British or Australian accent? Like I am not going to buy Margot Robbie in a role if she has an accent?

Saw that one job I was looking at (a training position with the DOT) was closing tonight.
Little hustle to finish that process off with a couple hours to spare.

Margot Robbie speaks in her roles? She could speak German and I wouldn’t care.

Insert Margot Robbie "Wolf of Wall Street" gif, but I dont wanna get banned.

I usually go into those scenarios wondering what the people in my office are most likely to eat, cuz that's where 90% of that stuff ends up anyway. Then I remember that people in my office will devour anything free as long as it isn't moving (much) and order whatever I want based on the dollar amount I want to contribute.

For some reason that made me think of lutefisk.

A friend was the local manager for MC when they had a concert here in the 90's. At that time, the rest of the band hated Tommy Lee and he had to break up fights between Tommy and the other band members.

He was probably boffing their girlfriends.

He was probably boffing their girlfriends.

But not boofing in the Devil's Triangle. That was Squi.

Vince Vaughn has always kinda bugged me. The first thing I remember him in was Swingers with Jon Favreau. He was the dickhead friend, but I liked the movie a lot.

But then he kept doing the same character in every single movie. It occurred to me that he's so good at being an ******* that there is probably a reason for it.

I've liked other movies he's been in, but it would not surprise me in the least if he was a jerk IRL.

Try and find an older movie he was in called "Clay Pigeons". He goes w-a-a-a-y beyond the typical dickhead role in that one. Good movie, too.

Perfect choice, IMO.

The first choice of Cyclone fans everywhere.

Don't say you are from georgia then. I bought and drank this once in college. It's not good. Then it claimed to be just Georgia Moonshine.

I guess that would explain the 1-1/2 hour soup delay. Canadian is easy. Just pronounce the "ou" words as "oo" and finish your sentences with "eh?" Also, if you ever have to say "process" say it with a long "O".

Question for the general populace here. Chatting with a few people on houses they are building. I can tell I'm getting old. What do people consider a normal house payment?

Calculating some of these and over 30 years they are looking at 2k/month. We originally had ours on a 30 year, but when rates dropped we refinanced and I cut about 9 years off the house so it will be a total of 21 years. I definitely see why 15 years is the recommended term because you do get sick of house payments at that point because we have been here around that long.

On vacation, a family from Canada was sitting by me at dinner. Their daughter was going to college in Windsor. I said that I heard Windsor was a pretty fun place. She replied that most Canadians consider it to be the armpit of Canada.

Including taxes and insurance, our payment is almost exactly $2000. We built our house 15 years ago.
