Only because your arm gets tired.

You'd have to let all your American customers sign a form that the
restaurant doesn't have to pay damages for burn wounds if they touch
the hot plate. Even if they do it accidentally.

Maybe it starts out rare and when the plate stops sizzling, it's
perfectly medium rare.

It's also a very short book so don't expect it to be anything like the
movie.

Wow! I don't read in bed anymore but back when I did I didn't hold the
book up over my face. What a awkward position! I sat up with pillows
behind me and held the book propped on my chest. When I felt tired I
set the book on the bedside table, turned off the light and fell asleep.
No book accidents.
 
These days I read on the couch in the den.

If a book fails to hold my interest in the first couple of chapters, or
if I find it a chore to read I won't bother to finish it. It's not as
if you're going to have to write a book report!

I got bored with John Grisham a long time ago.

I only go to the doctor once a year, basic checkup and to get my one
prescription refilled. I don't need to take 100 books (I only read one
at a time) or the entire Internet with me. Then again, I'm not sitting
in the waiting room or in the car waiting for someone else for any great
length of time. Still, if a book is good enough it will hold my
attention for hours. If I thought I was going to be there for hours I'd
bring a second book.

Are they glued to their cell phones? Fortunately I only have to go to
the doctor once a year, basic checkup and bloodwork, to get my one
prescription refilled. I have not had to go at all during this
pandemic. I called at the end of November. The doctor reviewed my
chart, called me back with questions then phoned in the refill. Then
again, I don't have the same health issues you or many other people have.

It really doesn't, especially since it's such a new vaccine. It hasn't
been out long enough to gauge the efficacy.
 
Still, Bruce seems to think because there aren't any problems right now
in Australia it can't happen. It can if people ignore what lots of
other people chose to ignore when the GLOBAL outbreak began early last year.

The last time I read an actual book, it was simply annoying.
I had to hold the damned thing open myself.

Let me repeat myself:
 
"Australia doesn't have much covid. That could change if the current
outbreak in Sydney gets out of hand."
 
So far we've been lucky, but of course it can happen.

The US has 20,000,000 cases per million people. Australia has 28,000
per million. In other words: Australia has 0.14% of the number of
cases that the US has. If that changes, people's attitude will change
too.

You're right about cat's not having human emotions, we're both right.
 
"I'm Happy These Days. Why Aren't You?" would probably make a pretty good bumper sticker.

I've never seen that happen either. Rumor has it that they'll do that if they're not "happy." They have a debilitating case of pussy depression. It probably means they've been through some sort of major catty-stropic event in their life. Perhaps they've lost a loved one. If it was a cat, the simplest solution is to get another kitty. Perhaps they've lost a toy behind the sofa. Get your cat another toy and fix him his favorite dish. If that doesn't get him out his funk, seek professional help. That would be for yourself - not your cat.

The better you can smell the chlorine, the harder it has to work to
make your water drinkable. Eew.

The 'orientation' (which is also an OTJ test of sorts) costs them a bit
of money. They would not pay for that just to avoid hurting his feelings.
 
They want to keep him in reserve in case other new hires end up quitting,
asking for more money or better schedules, or just popping off.
 
So the chances are not zero, more accurately they are just slim.

You ask everybody here to do your homework for you. I'd be embarrassed
to ask such simple questions.
