I do. They park in the driveway. Last night my MIL let her car run for 25 minutes while she sat on the couch scrolling FB before finally leaving. All while I did dishes and MrsWx was putting the kids down
I'd have to agree -- that is excessive.

I will admit that I was probably more agitated because she had been there pretty much all day with the baby shower and stayed for the game. NP but I am one of that at that point I just want people gone to relax on our own for at least a few minutes before going to bed.

Oh and she lives 20 minutes away so it sat running for as long as it takes her to drive home.

Did that chili contest at the VFW on Sunday. Got voted 2nd :(

It was just set up as something to do as part of the Super Bowl watch so you can't take it too serious. One guy kept telling us how awesome he is and will obviously win it. He was voted 3rd and was visibly pissed. The announcement was at halftime. He sat and pouted after that lol

On the other hand I made way too much so I have to get the rest in the freezer today. Gonna have to do some rearranging.

Well, at least I can still do a daily Quordle. Every time I find something fun, someone has to go screw it up!

You could pull an Autobots and....



Roll out.


It was scheduled for 4.5 hours. I dropped after 40 minutes. Not sure how they think we have time to sit on a call for that long.
And that was part one. Part 2 is tomorrow.

I was on another meeting about a project this weekend. The Project Manager sent me a private message asking why offshore always answers with either silence or we don't know.
The system was turned over to them 2 years ago.

I told her, "After 16 years of dealing with offshore my advice is get used to it."
