Hi Jaime, This is Shannon and I’m emailing you because I love the show and feel like you can use this as a social dilemma. So I got a really bad haircut on Saturday and spent most of my weekend trying to fix it. It’s a little better but I wasn't ready to go out with it yet so I called in sick to work on Monday to go to a different salon to get professional help. My husband thinks I’m overreacting but I feel like it was necessary to take the day. Do you think I’m overreacting for taking a day off to have my bad haircut fixed? Do you think it's okay to call in sick for this reason. My husband says I'm abusing the system. What do you think? Thanks so much.ShannonWell, I think it's a little bit of an abuse of the system.

The weather is warming and metro Denver residents can expect sunshine and blue skies Wednesday before storms forming over the mountains bring rain showers, lightning, and bursts of wind, according to the National Weather Service.Most of the rain will fall in the mountains.

Dining after dark: 9 Denver eateries open past midnight

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:32:26 GMT

Where have all the good late-night spots in Denver gone?When the pandemic hit, restaurants struggled to retain staff amongst multiple mandated closures, especially late-night spots, as kitchen employees moved on to find more flexible hours. Many local, old-school diners serving breakfast 24/7, like the Breakfast King, Denver Diner and Annie’s Cafe, shuttered as a result.Jerusalem Restaurant, near the University of Denver, at 1890 E. Evans Ave., has been serving falafels and gyros till the wee hours since it opened 45 years ago. But after the pandemic, the restaurant had to reel back its closing time from 5 a.m. to 3 a.m. on the weekends and midnight during the week.A neon Open Late sign Friday, June 2, 2023, at Jerusalem Restaurant in Denver.

TSA says it’s “fully staffed” at Denver’s airport but warns of record summer travel

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:32:26 GMT

The Transportation Security Administration says it’s better equipped to deal with what’s expected to be a record summer for travel through Denver International Airport after contending with short-staffing last year.But a TSA spokeswoman said during a media briefing Tuesday that travelers lining up at DIA’s three security checkpoints during the busiest times — including ahead of the upcoming Juneteenth holiday weekend — still will face long waits because of limited capacity.Early mornings and late afternoons, in particular, have seen standard-screening lines at the south checkpoint backing up well beyond the 30-minute target set by the TSA, with wait times sometimes stretching past an hour.DIA’s Memorial Day weekend passenger traffic eclipsed the same holiday weekend last year by 14%, DIA CEO Phil Washington told a City Council committee recently.Even on more typical days at the start of this week, the total passengers processed through security at...

Scathing audit finds Colorado failed to properly regulate gas pipelines, penalize providers after explosions

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:32:26 GMT

The program charged with overseeing Colorado’s natural gas pipelines has been plagued with “pervasive” problems that repeatedly violated both state and federal regulations, state auditors found, with deficiencies ranging from inadequate inspections to a lack of documented action against repeat-offender gas operators, even after explosions that killed and injured people.The 121-page report, presented to legislators Monday by the Office of the State Auditor, cast the state’s Gas Pipeline Safety Program as an entity riddled with issues and lacking the oversight necessary to ensure it protects public safety. The findings touch on virtually all areas of the program, and the state legislator who requested the audit nearly two years ago said it was worse than she had anticipated.The audit found that state inspectors rarely issued written notices that pipeline operators were out of compliance with state and federal law, despite finding thousands of violations. Severa...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:32:26 GMT

The gap between consumer inflation in metro Denver and the rest of the country widened even further last month, according to an update Tuesday from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers ran at an annual rate of 4% nationally last month, while the annual CPI change for the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood area came in at 5.1%. Denver’s annual inflation rate, which is measured every two months, was 5.7% in March and 6.4% in January.“The primary causes of this change were a decrease in the price of energy which includes oil and gas, and slower rates of growth of prices of medical care and transportation,” said Cole Anderson, a research analyst with the Common Sense Institute, in an analysis of the CPI report.But the declines aren’t matching what is happening elsewhere. By comparison, U.S. consumer inflation went from a 6% pace in February to a 5% rate in March to a 4.9% pace in April and then 4% in May. The Federal Reserve ha...
