Yeah, was due for a new photo, and boy did that suck seeing current me vs 10 years ago me. Why would you show me that!

Costco really streamlined the food court in Canada during Covid. Those Turkey sandwiches hit.

Now all you have is fries, hot dog, pizza, and chicken strips.

I actually can't understand* people under the age of 80 complaining about not understanding how to use a computer.

They've been common house hold appliances since 1990 and were widespread before then. 34 years, you've had 34 years to learn how to use it!

Ha. My picture has been updated over the years but my vitals (height, weight , etc.) are the same as when I first receive my drivers licence when I was 16.

Mandatory corporate goal setting GMG. Why do I need to list at least five trackable goals a year? What if I don't want to take on more and just want to carry on doing my day to day job without pressure to go over & above??

My goal is not to be a snarky #### to so-and-so everyday, even though they probably deserve it.

The most depressing thing is everybody involved knows it’s just performative bull####. At the annual review you admit you haven’t had the time to do the new stuff you said you’d do. Your boss says it’s okay, just record something so your review looks reasonable to whoever they’re reporting to. So you make stuff up and they sign off on it. Then the next goal setting rolls around and you spend more hours making up stuff you both know you’re not going to do. Year after year.

Lol what about the same useless training sessions.

Let's waste 3-4 hours on a Monday rehashing the same #### over and over. It's not like Monday's are already busy from crap that came over the weekend.

Now I have to waste all this time sitting and listening to crap that doesn't even matter while my mind wanders off.

I've dealt with many people who have problems utilizing technology. They just don't have the brain training on the "concepts" and as you age it's harder to build those wires. But the same could be said of a 1 year old with an IPAD. Their brain is wired from the get go for these devices which is almost sadder in a way, where the external world, imagination, patience, patience to read a book and so many other things. Or the tech savvies scrolling their phone in a crosswalk or driving a car. The constant irritation of things happening in the world which have no bearing on being in the moment.

When company values and goals are poorly defined, people have to make #### up to justify their existence there.

Somewhat in the same vein, I was clever enough to scan the "goal setting" questionnaire from the kids' school last year; no eye rolling and paraphrasing Derek Zoolander this year!

Bananas. I wish they lasted longer. I only want to grocery shop once a week and by the end of the week they start getting all soft and bruised. I use a hanger and keep them out of sunlight and all that stuff to try and preserve them but man sometimes you get these beautiful looking bananas on a Sunday and by wednesday they are already browning and soft. You get a few more days from the green ones but then you have to deal with with a few days of eating the bananas that taste like tree bark.

Totes. What the heck have they been doing since they figured out the seedless watermelon? There's been zero fruit advancement and bananas should be top of list.

You mean the chicken wings? Great value.

My dad would bring them before a Flames game, awful for you but #### was it delicious.

A banana is one genetically identical plant closed repeatedly. A seedless watermelon is sterile off spring of two species of watermelon. It’s like a mule is a cross between a horse and a donkey. So the cross bred watermelon produce a seed that produced an infertile plant.

I feel like if religious people were consistent (lol) then they should have a BIG problem with modern fruit.

The salesperson of my now-former company is almost totally inept with technology. She can't even figure out how to use the search box in Outlook. She's in her mid-50s.
