      Co-worker of mine is a short man, can't be more than 5'4". Our job includes sanitizing storage tanks so other departments can use them.

      Well, this guy, whenever he leaves a tiny bit of meat on the bottom, has to reach all the way in to get it. He's () close to falling in. Can't help but laugh.

        Wait, no, that would make it worse. A fixed width font left justifies the period so a single space is about 1.9 spaces. But a var width font leaves no extra so the single space is just one space.

        You have it backwards.

          Are you sure?

          In a fixed-width font the "." should be centered so it can also serve as a decimal point. Variable fonts eliminate the "extra" space.

          At least that's what I saw back in the day when I cared about fonts...

            I volunteer at Out On The Lakeshore, Holland (MI) LGBT resource center. Today, the center coordinator walked in and said "Hi Amber, you're pretty."

              I joined a drumming circle today. It was primal, primitive, and I think I should get a pair of bongos or something to practice on. Next time I feel hostile, just pull out my drums and play.

                If you're banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee, you could your money for nothing and your chicks for free. But then you'd be banned from the radio in Canada.

                    There's a supervisor (not mine) at my job who stops by early in the shift just to find out how I'm doing and to wish me a good day.

                    There's another supervisor who flat out said "whatever you need" when I came out to her, and then kept the promise.

                      Re: Oil for The Gears, Revisited

                      Closed on my new house last week. Since Thursday, I’ve had five calls from a woman who leaves voice messages asking me if I want her interior design services, 26 years experience. Called me twice Thursday, again Friday, Saturday, and today.
                      I wanted it to stop so I picked up when she called today. She said she got my info from public record. Ok maybe.
                      So I asked her to stop calling me as I don’t want design services.
                      She then said “why don’t you get a bucket, fill it with water, stick your head in it and die.”

                                That was definitely not the turn I was expecting in the story!

                                I really wish she had a Yelp page or something, so DGF could give her a one star review, for being a terrible planner and not recommending the proper bucket and water temperature for the job.
