inHot take: The way we voted on our last book pick was totally rigged
One thing nobody's brought up yet @anna_carter53 is that you gotta check if the book is actually available at the library or cheap to find. We had people nominate stuff that was out of print or cost 30 bucks and it just killed the whole month. Ranked voting won't help if nobody can even get their hands on the book in the first place.

inThe week I got recalled to the same house 3 times turned me into a perfectionist
Man, I had a similar stretch about a year ago wiring up a basement suite in Lethbridge. Three callbacks in two weeks, two were bad receptacles from the supply house and one was my fault for not tightening a ground screw enough. That last one was a 10 minute fix but it totally changed how I work too. Now I just take the extra five seconds on every connection, even if I'm behind schedule.

inCan we talk about the 'no salt' policy at that new place in Boise?
Man, that reminds me of this sushi spot I went to in Portland where they had a "no chopsticks" policy. The chef wanted everyone eating with their hands like it was some ancient tradition. I spent the whole meal wiping sticky rice off my fingers while trying not to drop my eel roll into the soy sauce dish. Honestly, I get wanting to control the experience, but sometimes these rules just make the customer feel like they did something wrong by existing.

inAppreciation post: the old guy at the feed store who caught my chicken math mistake
Wait, isn't a 250 watt bulb for chicks still pretty standard? I've always used one and never lost any, maybe I've just been lucky with the brooder size or something. That ceramic one sounds like it'd barely keep em warm if your setup is drafty.
