Fun fact. There is a cut of road from the QM meaning, you can go to the QM parking lot by getting in the lane for the QM and taking the parking ticket. Then you can drive through the parking lot to exit but there is a little side road before you exit that will dump you back to the main entrance where you can go through to the Carnival lanes. Currently there's no waiting to get in the garage.
It opens at 8am on embarkation day. We thought we would be slick by parking there the night before since we are staying on the Queen Mary. We pulled in at 9pm an the gate was barricaded. Queen Mary staff said they help get your luggage from the QM to the terminal and the parking garage opens at 8am. Staff on the QM also said there is usually a line at 8am. We will see how big of a line.
The mods on r/reno removed my post. 🙄 I am trying to warn everyone to check your batch number of the rabies vaccine your pet recieved from the Reno SPCA because there was a recall on the rabies vaccination that was used at Reno SPCA. Reno SPCA didn't bother to let pet owners know and pocketed the money they received instead of reaching out to pet owners to get their pets re-vaccinated.
Last night, I dreamed about a guy I went to HS with. In the dream we were our age now and I ran into him at a restaurant. I haven't thought about him at all since graduation. I recognized who he was in my dream and remembered his 1st name and that his last name started with a "G" but I had to Google our class list to figure out his full last name. I then Googled his full name to see if he was in the news lately. Found nothing and couldn't find him online. Now, I'm really curious about someone I haven't thought of in over 30 years.
We live in a subdivision that is single story homes that all have 6 foot block walls we can't see into each other's homes nor back yards and feels very private. Because of the privacy, I leave my bedroom window looking into the backyard open. No shades, no curtains, just natural light pouring in. Today, I was getting dressed and to my horror saw an AC guy on my neighbors roof that directly faces my window. Hopefully he's super busy and didn't see me. I'm sure the last thing the poor kid wants to see is a Gen X, overweight lady, naked.
We're driving to Long Beach tonight and staying on the Queen Mary. We got the notice about the parking situation and plan on seeing if we can get in tonight and walk over to the Queen Mary. We've stayed on the Queen Mary before but not when parking has been tight. Hopefully we can successfully execute our plan.
Since Siegel's 1941 is closed, I was craving inexpensive prime rib. Went to Jerry's. $22 for prime rib, choice of potato, and a soup or salad. It was pretty solid. Obviously not the best prime rib I've ever had but it was definitely on the same level as Siegel's. Also $2 roulette was fun. Totally felt like old school Vegas. I'm definitely going to add this to my restaurant rotation.
Hello fellow sailors of Carnival. Does everyone sailing on the 4th have their patriotic outfits planned? I'm excited for the ship meet up and the fire work display. I plan to hide a few Liberty Ducks. Hopefully there will be other sailors hiding themed ducks. (I found a bride duck my last cruise). Looking forward to celebrating America's 250th!
I heard Tim's ads about the Aura frame. I decided to purchase one for my dad for Father's Day.
I'm 55. My brother is 48. I haven't spoken to my brother other than a few texts regarding our elderly parents since 2016.
Anyway, I sent my dad the frame for Father's Day where his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids could post photos to the frame for my dad and mom to see on the frame in their home. My mom is now essentially homebound because she's on oxygen 24/7 and doesn't want to use the portable tank.
I invited my brother via text to add photos to the frame for our dad and mom. I figured it was the nice thing to do because the gift wasn't for me, it was for my dad. My brother, who remind you is 48 years old, immediately starts posting photos to the frame of him with a AI trump in the photos. Seriously?! Why?
Do I now post photos of us at Pride Parades and Bad Bunny concerts? I was mindful not to post photos that would cause discord but obviously not my brother.

I started a new job for a company that operates in multiple states. My 1st day, my access to email and the company portal that I needed to do the online on boarding training wasn't active. My supervisor said to call, IT. IT told me that they received the ticket but they hadn't started working on it yet. I asked for an ETA on when it would be done and they said they weren't sure. My supervisor was annoyed because I was supposed to do the online part of the training first but he found other things for me to do.
Fast forward two days and the ticket still isn't completed. I finally got access on the 3rd day. During this time my boss was scrambling trying to find things for me to do. When I gained access to my credentials, my last name in my email address was spelled wrong (an extra letter was added). I called IT to ask if they could correct the spelling of my last name. The IT guy asked me if I was sure that my name was spelled incorrectly. I stated that I knew how to spell my last name. The IT guy said that I couldn't make the change and my supervisor would have to authorize the change and create a ticket. I asked how long that would take and the IT guy said he didn't know.
Since I needed access to the system to start my on boarding and the past two days were frustrating with everyone trying to find things for me to do, I just said forget it and leave it the way it is.
Seriously, I feel it would have been a quick fix to delete a letter out of my email address, but no.
I have a Barclay credit card. I have two charges that have a promotional 0٪ APR for 6 months. Besides my promotional purchases, I had a balance that I paid all but $92. The APR for these purchases is 27٪. I was charged $19.04 interest on $92. I did the math and the interest is $2.07. I called customer service to inquire why I was charged 19.04 when I paid all of my outstanding balance sans $92 and the total that were under the 0% apr promotion. The 1st customer service rep told me I had to pay the entire outstanding balance which defeats the purpose of a 6 months same as cash. She then hung up on me. I called back and spoke to another customer service rep and we walked through the math and she agreed, I was charged too much interest. She reversed the entire amount.
We're doing the 4th of July cruise to see the Big Bay Boom fireworks display. The itinerary says ship meet up. I'm assuming we're just anchoring in the Bay with the other ships because San Diego isn't listed as a port to get off. I've never done a ship meet up. Does anything "special" happen?

​
Will it hold throughout the day? I bought when CCL was $6.34 per share. I've been enjoying my shareholders on board credits.
​
It was up over $30 but then fell and was holding between $27-$28 per share. I see the highest it was, was $45 per share. RCL is hovering at $294 per share.
​
I am kicking myself for not buying more CCL but hindsight is 20/20. They easily could have gone out of business and not made it out of Covid. 🤷♀️
I searched this sub and it looks like its been a few years since there was a post of brands with Yeti merch. I snagged a Zac Brown Yeti instead of a t-shirt when I saw him at the Sphere. I was bummed that Virgin Cruise didn't have Yetis. What brands that you like have Yeti merch? I wish Liquid Death would make have Yeti drinkware. They had that Yeti coffin cooler.
Drove by today on a work assignment. There was a line of cars at 2pm on a Wednesday. Google reviews are pretty solid. Is it really that good?
Went to drop off my ballot at city hall. Expected to park and walk across the street to enter the building. To my pleasant surprise, there was an attended, drive through drop off box. Way to be civic minded, Las Vegas!
I left a very toxic work environment at a nationally known nonprofit organization. I was hired at a for profit company and completed my 1st full week on Friday. I am actually excited to go to work tomorrow! No more Sunday Blues! We are having an ice-cream party tomorrow during our team meeting. It's the little things that make work enjoyable.
