My moms worked down the hall from each other in a Coca-Cola Corp office in the early 90s. Biological mom worked in marketing, mom's soon-to-be gf worked switchboard. After school in like grade 2 I would go sit on switchboard mom's lap & work on my math homework while she transferred calls around. There was divorce b/w Mom & Dad, yada yada, Moms (or "Mom & Veronica," as they're referred to around Dad) had "the talk" with me like 7 years ago ("So...if you have any questions...?" "No! No I do not."), and that's that story.

― m bison, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 01:41 (sixteen years ago) link
monsieur bison
You did! Schooled there for 1.5 years, met some good people but got into some bad stuff, decided it was best I tip my hat. Austin is home now, and I've severed ties with most folks down that way, but my Moms & a real good bro still live there.
Are the rumors true? Are also you a Saytown man?

HOOS,
Which Logan Street taco truck should I patronize tonight: The one north of Sunset which I have never tried or the one south of Sunset where I have eaten three times.

― felicity, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 02:07 (sixteen years ago) link
daer WO\ondering in Los Feliz
I say go for the one north of Sunset. There's a whole world of taco trucks out there, and the possible benefits of a New Favorite Place outweigh the possible costs of A Night of Bad Tacos if it turns out to be thumbs-down.

You often refer to yourself as "a hoos". Is it correct to read this as implying that there are more hooses in the world? If so, where are they?

The North Side taco truck was very good, Hoos. It has diet coke, unlike the one on the more affluent South Side of Sunset Boulevard.

Moms are out at the Northeast on 1604 & 35, I was right by UTSA at 1604 & 35. I had peoples all near SAC & through downtown though. Worked down that way (30 minutes drive w/no traffic!) and did poetry slams at Sam's Burger Joint. You ever go down that way on a Tuesday night?

I'm sending out resumes to some web marketing companies cause I really don't see myself with a career in the hospitality industry. I've heard some horror stories baout fickle web companies firing a dude right before he can get unemployment, so I'm making sure I've got two or three diff income streams regardless of what the 9-5 is. Trying to freelance and save up a personal unemployment fund in case some shit goes down. (lol I threw up a diagram of all this shit on my twitter)
The eventual "career" goal is to teach & write, but I gotta kill a couple years before I can get to work on that (long story). Maybe teach high school, maybe go for the MFA and teach college. Cross that bridge when I get to it.

How do I unlock the rear door of my truck when it gets locked up? There is like a little toggle under the handle but sometimes it won't open even when I move it back and forth and click the clicker like 77 times.
Am I just weak? And how do I stop this from happening again.

oh i didn't see that this was already being discussed on the politics thread
― flopson, Friday, 12 June 2015 20:28 (nine years ago) link
oh hey sorry hadn't seen this
so some broader context
TAA as it was being presented in this bill was essentially shit--this bill massively underfunded it because that's the only way it would ever have a chance in the GOP led house. TAA is great and necessary--this TAA bill was a joke, and attaching it to Fast Track was a cynical white house-driven maneuver to try to ensure TPA's passage. our leg people are confident that there will be another, better shot at TAA before the summer is out.
republicans have this pattern--not just with TAA obv but with "government services in general"--of defunding programs to the point of crippling their capabilities, then claiming that they don't work. that's what they've held with TAA for years: cut, then claim its broken. we know it works when its funded, and we shouldn't have to cut medicare to pay for it, which is part of what they were pushing on this as well.
but in short our position is there's gonna be another shot at TAA, and beating TPA was big enough to take that gamble.
