Sweet. Best luck! They seem to be growing still too. Hopefully you get equity.

Thanks, I know they have given options in the past. Given that they are eyeing two more Eccentric Cafe's and still working at expansion here, essentially ground zero for them, I think it's a solid spot to get in.

Fashion in Mansfield is slowly catching up with the rest of the UK. It's now only 30 years behind.

The Memphis Mafia fromVoodoo Donuts probably has an entire day's supply of calories, but it is damn well worth it.

Was that the place that was on man vs food?

[mclaincausey]

I bet it was, we have one in Denver but I don't dig on doughnuts. Especially when there's a line out the door all the time.

[Chris]

Probably.  It's always listed on those "Places To Go In Portland" lists, and they have the Tex-Ass Challenge, a monster donut that you can get for free if you can eat it in 80 seconds or less.  Seems like the kind of place that Food TV, the Travel Channel, etc. would love.

Just had some really boring doughnuts from around the corner here in Berlin, and those voodoo things look A LOT more inviting and MUCH more original. Really love their sense of humour visible in several of their names and "designs". Too bad they're a tad far away…

Anyone try any of their collabs with Rogue?

[DanielAFC]

I've tried the maple bacon donut one….it's really sweet, interesting and worth trying, but not something I'd ever drink again

The pink bottle is super-mega-fucking-horrible. Think artificial smoke flavor mixed with cloying sweetness.

I've tried the chocolate peanut butter one….it's really sweet, interesting and worth trying, but not something I'd ever drink again.

Embrace the plenitude of the button, Rafa, before it takes you down with it…

@Finn666:

What's up with that is that it's staying like that.  Peter has better things to do than dick around with the forum code for marginal improvement.  Just be careful where you put your fingers…...

[Finn666]

hahaha @Giles …i fecking hate those fecking buttons to the max.
an "are you sure you really want to mark all threads as read? Yes? No?" would be nice though...maybe it isn't that much work for peter?

So after about 6 months of employment at the University (on the lowest rung of pay for a staff member), it was confirmed today by the Director of my department that I'll be transitioning into a new position.  I've been getting trained on it for a few weeks but left in the dark about whether or not I would assume those responsibilities for the long term.

This will bump me up three salary bands and while it still is considered low pay by most, it will be the most I've ever made in my strange life.  It feels amazing to actually be recognized and rewarded by the company you work for, and in such short time.  My risks are starting to pay off, and my struggles are quickly starting to evaporate.  Guess I didn't fuck too many things up
