Just sharing, this is from the guild, games to play while they’re on strike: https://nytimesguild.org/tech/guild-builds/

I’ve actually never gotten sausage after voting 😬

Australia (Sydney). A few years ago I went and there was a queue going outside the door and volunteers were telling people that it would take 30-45 minutes but to please stay in line. They were also handing out Tim Tams for people in line. I decided to try another polling station instead, which was 10-15 minutes walk away. There was no queue at all there so I was out within a couple minutes. So that one took the longest even though most of it was walking to another location. Wish there was a way to tell the people in that queue that other locations were empty.

I started a new job at a nice-ish office, next to a pretty fancy mall. On my 3rd day, my colleagues invited me to lunch at the food court of the mall. A couple hours later, I started getting nauseous and sweaty. Had to rush to the bathroom a couple times, which looking back I was lucky it was coming out of one end instead of two. After the 2nd time, I thought I'd chance it and rush home rather than having to go through another ~2 hours of this at the office. Luckily I lived close to the office back then so I was able to make it home. But in my rush I forgot to tell my manager, just told a coworker sitting near my desk I wasn't feeling well and left. I emailed my manager that night, telling him that I also wouldn't be able to make it in the next day. So my very first week at this job, I was only there for 2.5 days before getting sick for 1.5 days. Not the best first impression.

I didn't know until much later, but my manager told me that he thought I hated the job and was about to quit after a couple days.

I had to contact a service’s support which was email only

None. I go to the kitchen to drink water when I need it. In the mornings, I may have a cup of coffee, which is the only drink I would bring to my desk.

That’s sooner than I thought!

If I see Sam Rockwell in the cast list, I’m probably gonna watch it. Don’t know why but he’s always good and most of his movies are interesting. Him and Mark Ruffalo.

Buffy. I was the right age (or maybe a bit too young) when it aired and it was the first female-led show that I fell in love with.

If that’s what they meant, there would have been a comma after “Control developer” I believe.

In my language chocolate is “coklat”, which is also the word for the color brown. So you’re not wrong

I kinda dropped off during Smith’s era and I’m now catching up. Up to the last episode of series 12 and I’m actually enjoying Jodie’s doctor much more than the ratings/reviews. And strangely I didn’t enjoy Capaldi’s run as much as I’ve seen people love him. I kinda got tired of how angry he was throughout his run, so I was glad to see the joy back with Jodie.
