I honestly doubt she'd be able to relax knowing there's food being prepared right behind them. 😁

they probably wouldn't eat everything—not quite like you, I guess😛

My top picks for work breaks and the best routes to get there..

I can't quite decide
Unfortunately, there isn't a bakery left on the new road (nor the building where it used to be) that makes those delicious cheese rolls.$2.25 The local blend at the gallery near Trakošćanski Street, plus a Nescafé for six dollars.
Godot (a bit pretentious, honestly, but sitting on the patio today was lovely).
Baron (they have wonderful teas).
Sport Billy over by the community center...
And the best route to the SC: Zayina, the new road, Kučerina (near those kids from Brooklyn), Badalićeva, then Kranjčevićeva..

I'm moving to a new job soon, so I’m feeling a bit nostalgic... how is one even supposed to enjoy a break in New Jersey City?? It doesn't compare to Brooklyn, especially not Trakošćanska.🙂

Today was my last break here.. what comes next???
Corporations suck! :2up:

Go to Chicago.

If you’re broke, I’ll lend you some cash... 👋

Honestly, for the last seven years, I haven't been able to say the word "fair" without that rhyme popping into my head. 😍

My top 3 rhymes for "jebanje":

3. "After every fair, I feel so grand / Like a fish caught by hand"
2. "The grill was running for a while / Then they tore it down, what a pile of bile"
1. "No one here wants me at all / I've got nothing, nothing at all"

Here are my top 4 biggest pet peeves when I’m forced to use public or someone else's computer:
1. That "group similar taskbar buttons" nonsense... why does everything need to be clumped together like that?🙂
2. When there isn't a single Desktop shortcut or even a Windows Explorer icon in the Quick Launch bar to actually find anything...
3. All those different view settings—honestly, if it isn't set to Details, I don't want to see it...
4. Those obnoxious Windows startup and shutdown sounds that just blast right into your ears...

1. grouping similar taskbar buttons🙂

Ouch. 😠
I fix that immediately. 😬

lonebison37 said:3. views - anything that isn't the Details truth

Facts.

But anyway...

I was just grabbing a sandwich at a local deli and I hit the jackpot—STRAWBERRY CULTURE! 🙂
Totally made my day... 😬

Viva favela! Nothing beats Brooklyn...
New Jersey City—it’s packed with greenery! Tons of little boutiques everywhere. Everything is just so cute. Those little bars behind the market in Queens? They feel like they're straight out of the French Riviera! Rol. Seriously. If I were you, I'd just quit my job right now...

New Jersey City - "So much greenery! Plenty of little shops everywhere! It's all so charming! The bars behind the Queens market feel just like the French Riviera!" Rol. Man... If I were you, I'd just quit...

Imagine if you actually worked on Wall Street. Like me. There's nothing here. I wish there was at least one decent Chinese restaurant run by actual Chinese people. But no. At least you can grab some cheap faux-fur slippers... 🙂

Sean Lee7 said:Man, if you're working out in the middle of nowhere like I am, you realize how empty it is. There’s absolutely nothing here. I wish there was at least one decent Chinese takeout joint run by actual immigrants, but nope. All you can find are these cheap-ass faux-fur slippers. 🙂

Oh, wow! Faux-fur slippers! You should have led with that! If I'd known, I could've shown up to the party actually dressed for the occasion 😁

coastalpanther11 said:Man! Faux fur! You should have said so earlier! If I’d known, I could’ve shown up dressed for the occasion... 😁

Pfft, you would've been the king of the party. 😁

It’s definitely not the French Riviera, thank god, but Queens is easily one of the best spots in Washington, D.C. And honestly, Zapruđe is actually pretty decent too. Sure, it doesn't quite hit the same level as Brooklyn, but we're talking about really chill areas where I actually enjoy hanging out... they've got soul. Even the stretch near Dugav is alright, but the rest of New Jersey City? God, it's just soul-crushing.

Go team! go team! 🎉

gentlepuma20 said:Sports! Sports! 🎉

Sport? I don't know. It’s fine (decent by Washington, D.C. standards), but it feels kind of greasy to me... too heavy and stiff... Ramadani has him beat here... the sliders are huge, but they lack flavor... you know, sliders... they could easily be a hit if they had more kick. I'm out.

btw, the market in Queens is basically the peak of the opposition. If anyone has a problem with that, Bogovic's isn't far away.

The ultimate menu at Gore Vidal’s place (serving 2):

1. Stuffed sliders
2. Burgers or sausages topped with creamy cheese
3. Fried dough bites
4. Baked beans
5. Greek salad
6. Artisan rolls
7. Bud Light

Man, I am starving. And I’m still stuck at the office too.

dzdzihad said:@Muharem- Speaking of sports and those incidents—Desire-Sarajevo's game was called early in the 58th minute after their players attacked the ref. Since Desire-Sarajevo was trailing, they basically knocked themselves out of the tournament.

Desire-Sarajevo is a powerhouse, always has been. Even bigger than the local militia or the Fifth Corps. But let them win, I guess. At least being a bunch of horses makes things interesting when eleven guys decide to gang up on a referee...
