With the Air Force here we actually see a lot of different schools repped. Passed a truck the other day with an Idaho Vandals plate. Can’t get mad about that.
Hmmm
Interesting.

2 quick questions?

How hard is it to get a liquor license in your state?

And

Which team seems to have the largest fan base without their own bar?

Work emails.

Clients, coworkers, subordinates, doesn't matter...people send them all the time, and at any hour of the day. The overwhelming majority are not urgent or pressing and can wait. Further, I hate "status update" emails. They clog up your inbox for more urgent, pressing matters.

Lastly, just because you send me an email, doesn't mean that you're entitled to an instantaneous response. If it waits 24, 48 hours, you'll be just fine.

Bama is a controlled state but I doubt obtaining a liquor license is that difficult.

As far as bars with team affiliation outside of the state schools, probably depends where you’re at. Huntsville I believe has an Irish affiliated bar. Closer to Georgia I am sure there’s a few. Maybe Clemson as I don’t know of a bar in Bama that caters to them. Not an expert though.

Surcharge for dining out and automatic tipping charged on your bill… even at places you order at the front and pick up your own food and get your drink they ask for a tip. Dining out has become an aggravating experience at some places.

The suggested tip amounts have changed as well…….I’ve seen some on the bills suggesting 20%, 25% or 30%. I always tip but when the expectations are for more and more, it does make it aggravating (especially when the workers just hand you the food across the cashiers counter).

When someone pulls out in front of you and while you’re breaking and thinking of flipping the bird you notice their license plate is repping your school you be like “aight… you’re cool.”
Thought this was gonna go a different direction…😂

Manhattan

Working in Manhattan a couple days a week, the combination smell of urine and marijuana runs rampant from train station to office. Damn near unavoidable.

I’m not some prude. I smoke on rare occasion. Take edibles to sleep sometimes. Don’t really care what people do in their own homes. But man, NYC these days literally just smells like a mixture of urine from all the homeless and marijuana. Every year I’ve been coming since 2018 has gotten marginally worse.

Anyway, I’m probably just grumpy from a combined 5 hours of commuting today because of traffic, but f that place.

Was just there for US Open. It’s like the 1970s again. Pot smell everywhere, Peddlers everywhere w fake bags and hustlers. I am sure Peep shows in Times Square will be back soon.

The NYC mayor isn’t excited about things right now.

The players complained of the smell early in the tournament

Well last night an Environmentalist protestor glued his feet to the cement floor at the US Open causing a 50 minute delay,

Going through the maze that is the auto attendant and be told your approximate hold time is 1H 23M. I've been on hold so long they ran out of music on hold and it's now just dead air. lol

"We apologize for the delay as we are currently experiencing a high volume of calls. Please continue to hold, our next phone sex service rep will be with you shortly".

I thought they just had it on a loop?
There's probably a configuration setting that says to play MoH for so many minutes figuring no one would ever go past that. lol I pressed the "0" button just to make sure I was connected. 40 minutes later I'm still in the queue. Speakerphones do come in handy.

On hold for 4H 1M and all of a sudden I hear this, "I'm sorry, there has been an internal error. You are now being disconnected".

That stinks. You probably suspected that when the music stopped. Maybe Monday's are there worst caller volume days?
