Same here. I quit my soul-draining full-time job in November and felt so relieved. I had some money saved up, but I do miss the paycheck every two weeks. Maybe 2021 will bring us both some luck. Hope you have a Merry Christmas.

I don't know if Walmart can transfer 32 card with new sd card on s20 plus or if I have to go to Verizon make an appointment


however lets roll back to dec 12th when I tell them about space issue s7 phone they apparently couldn't touch my phone at all

yes I want to activate new phone s20 plus Walmart today but i'll be in a pickle if they can't do sd card situation

i hate to call Verizon make an apppintment judging by website it seems you cannot freakin make an appointment until sat wtf i don't even know if i i can go to store today

plus i don't even know if they are still in tochey tochey no phone like what happened back on 12th if so how heck they can do sd card tranfers it prob be waste of time like back 12th which they did nothing


i do have a backup plan i was thinking about going to smaller Verizon store across from Walmart today i don't think they are that strick i'm wondering if Walmart can't do it and if i have to make an appointment sat that and they can't do nothing

maybe i can go over little Verizon store they can do sd card situation i don't know i hate the main big red store during this covid times they are just strange , ya know they were closed on 8th and didn't open up until 14th meh

You need a USB to SD card reader/adapter.

Heads up though, the data structure and folders for the new phone isn't always going to be the same as the old phone. Download the photos from the phone to your computer (just plug in your old phone's SD card to the adapter) and then set up your new phone with the card (will probably wipe the card, or you can delete it yourself), and transfer whatever you want onto the card after.

That'll be me tomorrow after working 6 days in a row. Kinda how I feel about it with all the COVID restrictions lol.

eBay would be a lot better for sellers if you can set a minimum shipping threshold.

eBay just sucks. A ton of other quality of life improvements are possible as well as a more consistent interface.

That's me right there, I went from working 8days a week to only 3days and now I have too much time on my hands. Maybe this can change once we move to the midwest.

In the last 7 or 8 books I´ve read, not once has the word misanthropy been used. Last night, on a lark, I went to the book store and bought NOD by Adrian Barnes. pg 38: ¨While my lack of enthusiasm kept the bulk of humanity at arm´s length, it almost seemed to attract people like Charles. Maybe it´s the fact that we misanthropes don´t discriminate--the people hater hates everybody equally.¨

So there´s that.

That seems to indicate a more extreme misanthropy applied uniformly. My personal misanthropy is much less all encompassing, & much more specifically focused.

Is this through playing the library on your computer or like streaming Apple Music? I haven't noticed any issues with either one.

OT: I can't believe it's already Christmas Day tomorrow.

I’m thinking about ordering pizza for lunch tomorrow. First, I need to find out if they will be open on X-Mas day.

Before shift today we had a lil gift exchange.
When my turn came up my Boss asked what I got.
I pulled each item out of a bag one at a time.
I said
“Some condoms”.
“Some lube “
“20 bucks “
“And xxxx’s phone number”. (Our Lead Hand)

Everyone laughed pretty hard!

Yesterday the department that I work with had one of their Drillers get sick so I had to move back there.
I like driving Haul Truck, those 830E’s are nice, but I’m ready to go back to my regular job.

[Xtempo]

some old guy called me and left a message but the numbers don't match up nor did he say who he was. He was wondering if his number got through to my number but he didn't say his name only his number which didn't match the number that was calling me.

weird seems like a scam of some sort or wondering if someone is using my number somehow.

I've done this for a few years now.
Since 2013 when we had that storm in NY.
I nearly died shovelling a little bit.
I said screw it, made a small household one and then after I was able to leave, went and bought parts to make a decent one.
Left NY the following summer.

Tonight, for the first time since the film came out in theaters back in 1996, I watched Jack with Robin Williams. I still think this is one of his best performances. It's definitely one of my favorites. But what caught my attention this time around was the speech he gives at his high school graduation at the end of the film. Robin's death was just over six years ago, but this speech....it really hits hard when you think about his message and his life.

RIP Robin.
