LOL cant imagine it. Must have been a nightmare, however, I don't think 2-day shipping existed. LOL

Lol I don't have that experience. But I can imagine how hard zero visibility can be. . .

Yeah I honestly can't even imagine how our line of work functioned before the internet. Even with the internet it's incredibly difficult to coordinate all of the moving parts of my job (pun intended).

How often do people actually go into the office? I’m about to get an offer as a CE and I live about 90 minutes from the office. Google will give me relocation but if I just need to go in 1-2 a week, I’d be open to stomaching the commute. Any info would be helpful!

Rough day in the office and in the mood for something that would toss me around and maybe hurt a little. Black peppercorn crusted bacon left on a smoker too long and covered in jam made from under-ripe red fruits. The 59% ABV is definitely present, and you can smell the peat smoke from across the room. The finish lasts for days. If you’re already into peated scotch but want to crank it up another level, the cask strength Laphroaigs can show you your limits. Hurts soooo good 😌
