Oh if the clients one isn’t my life every damn day. Thankfully I now mostly work with the $50,000 clients.
I feel bad because I just made a $500 donation to the university to a fund that historically gets sent to the wrong place, so I had to send an email to follow up about it…
That is fine. It’s the guy who flat out told me he “watches to make the development officers dance for it” that are the problem.
Hello, Happier podcast with Gretchen Rubin.
Enjoying the queue humor.
(One of my biggest culture shocks in Canada was leaving the subway to transfer to the bus, and seeing one of the most orderly lines I have ever come across. It was amazing. I’ve heard the British do it even better.)
I got off the train once and walked past the bus stop and one man was yelling incredulously about how he had never seen a line for the bus before lol. It’s so rare in Chicago except for that one stop where there’s space for a line because there’s an actual bus terminal instead of just general use sidewalk.
How do you know whose turn it is without a line? Like under 5 people you can track, but at person 4 or 5 you are supposed to form a line
You don’t. It’s every man for himself and you just kind of go at the door in a clump. Even in the midwest!! Where we are supposed to have manners! It’s a mess lol. America 
Yep, this. It’s a big clump.
Sometimes there might be a queue of clumps, in that you know that “well those people were here first” or “we’re after them”
But within those clumps? Fight it out to get onto that bus.
One of my co-workers showed up to the office this morning in a big coat looking rather peaky. Turns out he had driven down to London at 5 last night, and shuffled slowly in the Queue for 12 hours (apparently he got to sit down for 40 minutes when they paused to do some cleaning), getting there at 5am and then driving straight back to the office.
I’m baffled.
I agree that sounds like Douglas Adams but also like that episode of Doctor Who with the traffic jam? (Hovercars, of course)
Are there monsters preying on The Queue?
I believe that’s the press or paparazzi
I don’t understand this. What and whyfore queue?
The bus I used to take home from work had a perfectly orderly queue. It even included a space for passers-by to get through on the sidewalk. There was also a bench to sit on at the bus stop, but if you sat on the bench you had to get in the back of the line when the bus came.
I think this is my favorite. Some day I will walk the Camino of the Queen.
I believe to view and/or pay respects to the late queen.
ETA but also queueing is a British national sport so it is a way to honor Her Majesty in the most British way.
