The second time in as many weeks coming home from Drinking Liberally, the bus passed without stopping. Last week another one came soon. Yesterday it was 10 more minutes. It was pleasant out, but goddam. I don’t know where I’m going with this, but should I call Metro if it happens again?

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets this Tuesday evening for conversations over a drink. Please join us if you can!

We meet every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the back room of the pub. We start at about 8pm.

Social media is a part of a lot of people’s jobs. This can cause a gray area in some situations. But transitioning from HR crude (to say the least!) messages is a workplace problem. Don’t be gross at work, even when you are not officially on the clock, to potential coworkers. Obviously, don’t creep even if it’s not at work too.

I was at the bus stop not super late, but post rush hour. There were a handful of people at the stop. When I saw my bus coming, I walked over and waited first in line. As I stated to board, the driver gave me the wait signal, as someone else was taking a minute to exit.

And then as I was waiting, someone goes around me trying to board. Like I just decided to stop! Then when he realized there was someone getting off the bus, he stayed in the head of the line. Seriously, what?

How can anyone write a thread when it’s so nice out? I could have written something last night? Well I didn’t so you’re stuck with this nonsense.

CPB in Spokane acting scuzzy has caught up with them. I hope that Mr. Elshieky gets all of the money and that there are real reforms. Also, even if the fuckery were justified (it’s not) the bus ride from Spokane to Portland isn’t exactly the hot route for international smugglers.

Matt Shea is such a garbage person. At a certain point, there have to be the barest of consequences for all of the fuckery. I would hope that there is enough decency in the Republican Party to show him some serious consequences. But the truth is that the rot is the party. They have become the party that redefined the Second Amendment and elevated Donald Trump. Of course they don’t care about genocide manifestos or targeting professors and protesters.
