General "talk about anything/nothing" thread.
Like...
Chase Bank, one of the biggest in the US. Except where I live now. There's one branch between Orlando and Jacksonville. Oh well,I've been looking for a reason to join a credit union.

Banks bad, credit unions good.

For most of my adult life I've worked in some aspect of the retail trade. The interaction with the public, product research, marketing, etc. have brought me job satisfaction and professional growth. However, the past year has seen a wearing of my nerves in dealing with the public. When did people start to feel so entitled? Courtesy, civility, decency and respect seem to be eroding from public decorum and discourse.
end of rant.

I look forward to the day when hipsters are old and irrelevant.

I don't know about old, but I consider hipsters to be irrelevant already.

I arranged to collect a washing machine today and cancelled my business account. This typifies my weekends lately, I definitely need a new hobby...

Mr. Suzi had to work Valentine's Day (we usually go out to dinner) but is off today so he went out and bought me fifty bucks worth of cheese and crackers. I will now be eating my way through... Grand Creme Delin Thunder Oak Smoked Gouda and Isle of Kintyre Scottish Applewood Smoked Cheddar My elliptical has just asked me how many hours I want to spend on it working all that cheese off so I have kindly offered to share with the other two jokers I live with.

...and Isle of Kintyre Scottish Applewood Smoked Cheddar That is good cheese. What is elliptical? Yes, it's wonderful. I'm almost sorry I shared because of the three cheeses, this was the one I had the least of, sadly. Elliptical? That will be me if I don't get my sorry carcass on that machine. So far this week, I have only walked past it and not on it.

I've been watching Top Gear (UK version) on Netflix and have developed an appreciation for the high end, high performance cars the boys get to drive. In fact, I just spent wasted time configuring my own Ferrari California T on the Ferrari website. My goodness, it's a beautiful car.

Top Gear has also given me a better understanding of BMW drivers. I still think that they are the biggest assholes on the road, but at least I understand that they do all that speeding and weaving in and out of traffic lanes, in part, because their cars handle so much better than the average car (the other half of the equation is that the drivers are still invariably giant pricks).

Audi drivers are the new BMW drivers.
