England did make a good show of it. I think they surprised a lot of so called expert analysts. Also, your revenge match with Belgium is back on. So that is something. Posted Image

I hate Cologne. The city, I mean. Almost as badly as Frankfurt or Berlin.

Some sort of terror threat in my city today. Heightened police presence. Police are being cagey (they gave a press conference but didn't say much), but it sounds like they may have been tipped off to another van ramming style attack?

Scary AF man. Police presence HEAVY at places like the CN tower and Wonderland...

Yeah, they announced it about 2.5hrs ago and did a press conference which essentially said "we are warning people...but everything is fine"

So it's all up in the air.

Well that makes me feel safe.

I did notice a lot more police cruisers out when I went out at lunchtime, hopefully they catch whoever before anything happens or it's just a false alarm.

Indeed. At any rate, take care out there, and be watchful.

Will do. I was thinking of full-on sprinting to the train station but that might make me look suspicious and get me arrested. Instead, I'll just keep an eye out.

They basically said ‘it’s unsubstantiated as fuck but we’re being careful’.

Which basically means "we have no idea if something's going to happen, but if it does our asses are covered since we warned people, and put some extra cops around"

Oh, so THAT'S why there was a random cop hanging out on my street outside an alterations place (of all things) on my way to work this morning.

I was inside the office all day and did not note anything out of the ordinary on my way home. So that's good, I guess?

Yes, over water.

I've cut my own hair for over 20 yrs and saved a shit ton of $ doing so. Ex wife always helped to trim/fade the back few inches were I can't get to with clippers so I'm not pleased with the buzz I jus gave myself and am dreading the thought of having to just round my hair off. Sure is a dilemma imo

Shave them all and let god sort them out.

My work week is so exhausting at the moment that I can barely do anything but sleep on weekends. Caught myself dozing off at 12 in the morning.

Sunday blues. GF is returning to St. Louis for the week and I am trying to figure out how to be management, starting week 2. Wish I could just stop time instead of plunging into the overwhelming unknown.

I've stayed in some rambly places in my time but the dungeon the company booked me into this week takes the biscuit. Fucking disgusting, rang the boss and told him I was on the first flight home in the morning if he didn't book somewhere else

I've read quite a few posts about your work and the overarching conclusion I've reached is that your company treats you badly in terms of neither giving you the right staff or being decent to you on long trips.

Can you do a lateral move to a better place?

I'm at a place now with them that I can threaten to walk and they'll do what I want. We've been shifted to better accommodation and have a house lined up for next week.
For the London job we're starting now they basically told me to name my price to run it.
