Great post, John.

Thank you.
Funny how, when misfortune comes, it comes in piles instead of singly. Sorry to hear about the bad service at Dolce Vita; I hope it was just a one-time thing. And please pass along my sincere condolences to the Missus re: the death of her favorite aunt. Hugs to all concerned.

Awesome. So you end on a victorious note. Best way to go out.
And now: en avant!

Navigating the treacherous shoals of the government bureaucracy
Nomad,
Your avatar is disconcerting because it really looks as if you’re a talking fish.

Hard to believe it’s already been a year! Many things have happened since that meeting.

Well! Congratulations on the slew of good news! Have fun working in the “Human Ress-rooses” (or “Human Re-horse Management”) Division. Have fun, too, battling your sinusitis.

May all your medical troubles turn out to be minor.

Congrats to your friend James! I wish him a long and happy marriage.

Up and down, up and down…
Fingers crossed for you.

Really discouraging news. Sorry to read about this, and I sincerely hope things brighten up for you. If this position doesn’t work out, though, maybe that’s the Good Lord whispering, “Try KBS… try KBS… you’d be awesome at it…”

Very pleasant, indeed. Thanks again.

Life is looking up! Congrats, man.

My sympathies. I just lost a W20,000 farecard the same way. It just up and disappeared on me. I’d rather blame gremlins or Murphy’s Law than my own mental incompetence, but evidence for incompetence is steadily mounting as time goes by.

The things kids learn in school these days
Horrifying.

All the news that prints to fit
You have my sympathies regarding all the paperwork and legal rigamarole. Sounds horrible. I don’t envy you.

Down in the mouth and knee deep in doo doo
No, you’re right: not nearly so misleading. But I was expecting to read that you’d gotten into deep trouble with the Missus, or that you’d been fired from work for some ethical violation and were about to be brought up on charges. That’s the sort of thing I imagine when I read “(knee-)deep doo-doo.”
By the way—the picture of the dog with its head stuck inside a loaf of bread says, in large print: “Noisy dog next door.” The smaller print says, “When you’re looking for a quiet room [to stay in]…” The ad is for the Jikbang service, which is essentially a site (or app) with listings for studios, apartments, and other residences. I’m not sure how the image of a dog whose head is stuck inside a bread loaf is supposed to connote “noisy dog,” but such are the mysteries of Korean marketing.

Good luck with the mouth, the knee, and the job! Given the title of your post, however, I was expecting much darker news. I’m glad I was wrong.

It only hurts until the pain goes away
Sounds delicious. There was a chain restaurant called Hard Times Cafe in Old Town Alexandria. I’d normally order their Cincinnati chili on top of a bowl of Fritos corn chips. Nasty good.

Sorry to read that you went through so much pain, but it’s good to know that the worst seems to be over.
Chili is next up on my list of big things to cook. Yours looks quite tasty. And chili with corn bread… is that a Carolinian thing?

If the six turned up to be nine
“I went 5-1 in singles last night, 2-1 in doubles.”
Does this mean “5 wins, 1 loss in singles” and “2 wins, 1 loss in doubles”? If so, then congratulations, assuming this also means you won the day.

“You can possible to go at low cost”
Looks as though you had a great trip! Welcome back to the big town.

I imagine that the first major case of bureaucratic circular logic in a typical American’s life comes right about the end of college: to get a decent job, you need experience; to get experience, you need a decent job.
Congrats on the $1378; too bad most of that gets dumped into the $1300 hole. But hey—$78 is good for two trips to Bennigan’s (without alcohol).

Regarding the “dal.komm coffee” issue: it does look German, as “komm” is the imperative form of the verb “kommen,” i.e., to come. But the syllables “dal-komm” are probably a reference to the Korean adjective 달콤한 (“dal-kom-han”), i.e., sweet/sugary.

I’m still trying to figure out how I missed that walk-out post. Anyway, glad to know you’re back with the team. There are some who might learn from the wisdom of staying together when the option to walk away presents itself. Commitment means something.

Congratulations! May the streak continue.
(Or did I just jinx you?)

Feel free to sign me on base, but it’s my treat next time!
I’m surprised you didn’t bust my balls re: chatting up the ladies.
