Shit that annoys you

[Bobcat Sig]

Lots of people like light in the morning Karen.

And you still have light in the morning without DST, Sharon.

Dark at 430pm is fucking stupid.

On the topic of food, it annoys me when people won't even try a new food (and, yes, people with dietary restrictions get a pass). I don't get it.

Dark at 4:30 is beyond stupid. I'd prefer to have sunlight in the part of the day that I can use it. Who gives a shit if its pitch black out when I arrive at the office so long as it's sunny out when I pick the kid up from school or go out for a walk in the evening.

Yeah, year-round DST works for me. I'll take the extra hour of afternoon light in the winter and I don't need the sun coming up at 4:00 am in the summer.

Google sez sunset in Atlanta on the winter solstice is 5:33 pm.

Well it's always sunny in God's country, but 6:33 would be preferable.

Maybe I'm just traumatized from my cold, dark winters on the North Coast.

Agreed.

That said. Fuck olives.

My whole fucking morning is pissing me off. Up at 4:15 due to election and time change, not very great Q1 2021 projection for my business due to the Covid, my out of state college kid destroyed his ski boots and needs new ones ASAP, I was eating raw green beans, looked down and realized they were moldy, I’m fucking exhausted and beat up from too much exercise and not enough sleep, and my business partner’s wife, who is a wonderful person, just got a bad cancer update. Next I’ll need to find a live chicken to take the curse off this glove.

Thanks for listening. Please return to previously scheduled annoyances.

Some people have to work early and/or outside. Year round. An hour either way isn’t gonna hurt anyone. I would prefer standard time but just ending the switch would satisfy me.

Not everyone is stuck in an office all day.

The black ones you put on your fingers as a kid, or, like, all of them?

Every goddam olive on the planet.

Make 'em all into olive oil... 'cause I don't mind that stuff.

EDIT: turns out the “check transition light” that just showed up on my car is because a rodent ate the wires. Not covered under warranty. Excellent. Fucking rabbits.

OK, now I’m done for the day.

Bread is a life blood in France. Bread + butter is the go-to snack.
It's the one thing I still can't get over after having lived in the US for 15 years. I've come to terms with the lack of good cheese and found some decent substitutes here and there, especially now that the stigma around raw milk stuff is disappearing. I cook a fair bit and have no complaints about access to quality and varied ingredients. Overall, I'd say it's easy to find great good in the US, I certainly wasn't doing a whole lot better in France (maybe quality was a bit higher but not much). The bread though? Nah, still not in the same league. I've had the occasional good bread here and Ms Boissal can bake a mean loaf but the lack of consistent access to cheap delicious bread is slaying me. When I lived back home I was eating a baguette a day no matter what, I would snag it from a boulangerie on my way back form work and it would be gone by the end of breakfast the next day. When I'm at my parents these days I get a kick out of the bread ritual, a key part of the day when my dad peeks in the bread box then strategizes with my mom about how many baguettes will be needed depending on who's home for dinner & breakfast. I my sister and I are around with our SOs it's usually a 3 baguette haul. We eat the stuff reflexively, it's just SO GOOD.

Sigh... Lack of bread annoys the shit out of me.

EDIT: the actual saying about a day without bread is "long comme un jour sans pain" which is used to mean something endlessly boring or painful. As long as a day without bread.

When I went home to Detroit to visit it was the challah and bagels and "cornbread" (some kind of rye bread I think) from the Jewish bakery that I especially enjoyed. (And definitely not my mother's cooking.)
Do they have sourdough in France?

Geez man, sorry.

You know, the only good varmint poontang is dead varmint poontang.

I think.

You shut your whore mouth! I fucking love olives.

I know, especially this week of all weeks, we are supposed to be mortal, binary enemies of everyone that isn't with us 100%, and I am generally of the mindset that there's something to like in everything and everyone. But man, I can not get down with a blanket hatred of olives, too fucking good.

What do you put in your gin when there's no tonic n limes around? Huh? WHAT?

Cleaning the flue.
The ladder that has about 8" clearance off the 2 story+ high gutter, getting the ropes setup, all the toxic soot, the gutter funkwater, slipping on a 4/10 metal roof.

So over this.

(excuse my intrusion into the finer points of Olive Oyl, I hadn't looked...)

I think I'm pretty much done with anything requiring climbing a ladder higher than six feet. Just too dangerous. I've heard way too many stories of people who have been seriously injured or killed from ladder or roof falls.

You are so right brother...

When we ski together, we should talk olives rather than Lakers and Celtics
