It was a frozen yogurt company. The ice cream was a ruse to smoke out those not committed to the cause.

Just got back from voting, no wait. It's about a 10 minute walk from my house to the polling place. They had 3 lanes open for people to check in, only 1 was occupied. I was in and out in under 5 minutes. Longest I've ever had to wait was probably 45-60 minutes in 2016 but that was at a different polling place that was always poorly organized.

Just got back from voting and I was looking for an opportunity to mention how attractive the lady that checked me in was.

You can dish it out but you can't take it? Well, so can I!

I try to avoid reviews/spoilers before seeing stuff, so I did not realize how much of a comedy it was. It doesn't come across in the trailer at all, but there are legitimately hilarious stretches of the film. And Mikey Madison deserves an Oscar for her role as the title character.

Might be a typo? A donor phlebotomy technician is one who specializes in drawing blood from donors, I guess as opposed to ones who do the lab work.

I struck up a conversation with a guy at a bar one time, turned out he was an animal control officer and the county shelter had just had a bad outbreak of parvovirus. He said he had spent the whole week just euthanizing dogs from sunup to sundown. He looked rough.

Hospital security guard. Had to help hold down suicidal mental patients so the nurses could put restraints on them. Had to escort counselors from Child Protective Services when they were collecting babies from the maternity ward, so that angry family members didn't attack them in the parking lot. Had to help wheel bodies down to the loading dock when the mortician came to collect them. Had to stop grieving relatives from trying to rush the ER or operating room when their loved one was on the table.

I quit after walking into the ER one time to see one of my coworker guards getting a wound on his neck examined while the other guard said, "Dude, you just missed the excitement! Lenny just got bit by a crackhead!"

I work with a Burl (short for Burlin) and he's probably pushing 70...haven't seen any Horaces around lately, though. For a lady, Constance.

 

Inspired by something I said last night when complaining about an achievement at work and the only way I could think to describe it was "pure frippery."
