Off the top of my head, the only film I've seen at the cinema where I had the screen room to myself was when The House of Mirth was originally released in cinemas (one of my favourite films that has starred an X-Files actor while the original run of the show was on the air). It was a bit eerie there being just me in the screen room.

Gotta ace it to move on to the next round. It’s how they weed out the poor candidates.

Are you hungry? Are you really hungry? Do you want 50 chicken nuggets? Well, lucky you, Wendy’s is now selling a bucket that contains 50 fried pieces of chicken across the United States.

Announced earlier this month, the new Wendy’s chicken bucket deal is officially called the “Nuggs Party Pack” and will be available every day at participating locations. Wendy’s called it a “next-level Nugg experience” in its press release announcing the behemoth meal.

Prices vary depending on where you live, but you can grab 50 nuggets in a bucket at a participating Wendy’s for between $12 to $15, according to Dexerto.

Hmm not seeing the deal at my store. I’ll have to check other stores. $12 is pretty rad.

Pretty sure I interviewed in-person with this employer already and didn't get hired so I will need to be better this time.

Hmm interesting that they do not have a record of your previous interview. I mean…that is also a good thing!

I would imagine it just proves my thinking that the phone interview service and the place's actual human resources are not the same thing.

I would imagine the woman remembers me from when I interviewed for that other position so if I get in for another in-person interview, the key will be to give her the best possible impression.

Good luck with your skin doctor.

For one of my phone interviews the number came up in New England. Almost didn’t answer it lol. Job was near Philly.

I passed the phone interview. He let me know right away and was a recruiter in Massachusetts. So yeah..you’re right that they often differ from the HR dept. Often outsourced as well.

Thanks. Just a check up but a few years ago they thought I had skin cancer based on my history as a lifeguard and being in the sun for years.

That was a rough one. Had to cut a piece of my skin off about the size of a quarter.

Ahh, thought it was for acne. Was going to start calling you pizza face from now on

I stopped at this frozen lake to take some pictures. Then I crossed the street to go to this other, smaller frozen lake and I walked out onto it a little ways. I didn't even go to the middle but just going as far as I did, makes me incredibly intrepid...or stupid While I was out there, this guy passed by on a motorcycle and probably thought I was an idiot lol

Also, I wish I was taller

I've had a bit here and there but nothing too bad.

And you know, I think I could have crossed it had I chosen my steps carefully.
The first part you see, near the snow, was not as thick I don't think. But crossing the main part of the lake, I think I could have been okay. But I chose not to find out.

Also, the other lake. That road leads to Yosemite but unfortunately the road is still closed right past the entry point to the park. As I was driving up, a fox ran across the road with something in its mouth. I think it might have been a rabbit but I'm not sure.

So when I was at the bigger lake, I went down closer to the water/ice to take a picture and I saw something move to the right of me. I thought that can't be a rock rolling uphill. I figured it was a fox so I picked up a decent-sized rock just in case. I'm not sure what it was but it might have been a beaver or an otter. Just chillin, gettin some sun

I have 10 medical appointments/ procedures over the next 30 days with more likely to come. Three of these will be very difficult and they are not without risk.

I will be seeing three cardiologists, an ophthalmologist, and a urologist. I currently have 11 doctors treating me and I have to travel over 100 miles each way to see 9 out of 11 of them.

I'm glad that your appointment went well and I hope that mine do as well.

Ha, I actually thought about the movie and did that for a few steps. I was just thinking it might be a better way of distributing my weight. I went back to walking normally, but carefully

I got home about a half hour ago. I haven't unloaded the car yet so I'll grab a few things. I didn't bring too much with me so I won't have much to bring up. Going to try and get up in just a bit over 8 hours. I'm pretty pooped. Good trip though and it just reinforces the idea that I need to get a motorcycle
