  • I have this card.

    I’m an immigrant to the US by way of marriage. When I moved here we opened an account at chase where my now wife banks - a joint for us both and one for me.

    When faced with having three near identical blue cards I asked if there was any option other than blue

    Imagine my face when I heard possibly the most American phrase I’ve ever heard: “You can have the brand colors, or Disney”

    I mean the other names make sense with additional context

    Both Tit- and Cock- as prefixes used to mean small (no laughing in the back, please)

    And Hoary means grey-haired or old-looking

    edit as I had to look this one up: “Booby” is an ellision of “Bobo” - as in “No seas tan bobo” (Spanish) - meaning “silly, naive, dumb…” as they tend to be quite tame birds


  • We did a year of unlimited time off. I took 2x1-week and 1x2 week and a few days here and there.

    At the end of the year they announced no time off except Christmas and Thanksgiving days during Nov thru Jan and you can’t take more than a week off at the time.

    They couple this with a company wide raise but if they don’t change the policy after the moratorium ends in January I think I’d rather earn less and have more time off.
