It can get out of control quickly. The owner of a bar I worked at paid us each a $150 bonus to not drink at all one NYE. This was also the same owner I found blowing coke off a topless woman’s breast when I went into the walk in cooler for more jager. So yeah, out of control quickly. Lol Oh my. That's something you usually don't see in an office environment. No one @ me with stories about their bosses doing coke off of naked women in their office job. Or do, those might be interesting.

I’m going to say that Jurassic Park was better as a movie and I really enjoyed the book.
My h says Starship Troopers was a great book, better than the movie. I don’t know what to make of that.

I can promise you many an onlooker does have the same feeling but as you say, it doesn’t matter to you. Meh, everyome has their own 'thing' as long as they're not hurting anyone else I don't see the problem, too many people judge the smallest things these days. vaping still smells and get in the air and makes me cough. Yeah, yeah, "it's just water vapor" but the scents people use are fucking nasty and I can smell it from a mile away.

We weren’t allowed to have alcohol at our company party because some people got in a fist fight the first year they did.

Starship Troopers WAS A BOOK?! Omfg. This movie made up half of the inside jokes between my friends in my 20s. We still quote it all the time. Cinematic gold. I don't see how a book could convey the same message.

Not as keen on the work he produced in his last years. That said, of course he was one of the deans of early sci fi writing. The movie was quite different from the book, IIRC.

There are currently 50 pies sitting outside my office door waiting to be cut up for Pi day. I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth.

I think overall The Shining was a better movie than book. Jack Nicholson was very entertaining.

I looked it up on amazon. This blew my mind. I would hope it was different then the movie, because my god that movie is on the top of my best bad movies list. It's hilarious, but it's not even B movie quality.

I was a golf course beer cart girl in college. We kept a bong in the attic above the clubhouse and I drove around with a giant Pepsi cup filled with vodka soda all day everyday. I made some very, very questionable decisions those summers. Made a ton of money and had a great time, though.

I think I would be a lot more apprehensive if I bartended in places where people drove. A number of bars i worked around/in Philly got hit with dram shop laws and they ended up with major fines and bad press. I left Philly at 22, so I wasn’t a bartender with a frontal lobe at the time. But bartending in NYC where I never/rarely had to worry if I was overserving people or if I was thinking clearly was def a blessing. I would be scared to do a lot of the shit I did then if I bartended in a place where people owned cars.

I am wondering now though, how is medical MJ different than non medical, other than the fact that I assume it is more highly tested before being dispensed? I know nothing about it. There are some that are much lower in THC (what makes you loopy) and higher in CBD (what helps with pain and anxiety). I know more than I need to lately. My dad is on it, so we have had to do a lot of research. I am not sure of the legality in the workplace actually (since he doesn't work)

Meh, everyome has their own 'thing' as long as they're not hurting anyone else I don't see the problem, too many people judge the smallest things these days. I’m ignoring the judging and you can obviously do you. but I do hope that you (and everyone else) can one day quit smoking/vaping. I’ve lost loved ones to smoking related illnesses and it’s so hard to watch. On the other hand, I’ve experienced first hand with my family struggle with addiction and it’s unbelievably hard. So, in short i wish you well and hope you quit. Thank you, and my plan is to be able to quit for good by Christmas this year. Mostly right now I'm doing it for the cbd, the antidepressants I was on were just making things worse, and this... Isn't.

A woman broke the world record by calculating pi to 31.4 trillion digits just in time for Pi Day. I have no fucking clue what that entails but it sounds pretty badass so I'm into it.

My H has a bunch of flavors. They don't smell bad, but they are overpowering. He has a vanilla flavored one that legit smells like a candle.
Still want him to stop vaping though.

There are like a million different vape flavors, some of them do actually kinda smell good.
(I don’t vape and am not pro vape, I just came in on this page)

speaking of drinking
PDQ
To keep some skills up to date that I don't use as much in work I adjunct at a well known university and teach a course on it. It's a masters/doctoral level course with a fair amount of math in it. One semester on the first day of class (class started at 5) a girl walked in, sat in the second row, pulled out a notebook, a bottle of wine and a red solo cup. Opened the wine and poured herself a glass. I was caught off guard and only said " Um is that wine?!" Her response was priceless- " UH! It's Rose, and I brought extra glasses in case anyone wanted some."
to make the story into an UO, I think students should be allowed to drink in class if they want to
