Even setting aside the abortion issue entirely, the idea that more than half the country has been forced to subsidize an organization whose actions they find morally repugnant, and for decades, is itself a moral outrage.
It's as if we were subsidizing human trafficking under the mantra of child welfare. Well, maybe that's a bad example since we already have that.
Dementia is a helluva thing.
I'm salary and I work from home. I'm basically on call 24x7.
The only reason it's tolerable is because I control my environment and don't have to commute to an office.
I get paid pretty well, but I can be out tomorrow for any reason or no reason. I'd have more protection at McDonald's but I'd also be exposed to more risk for less money.
Just heard from a fourth recruiter this week.
Unfortunately 5-day gig within the beltway of DC. No thanks, LOL.
I can't help but wonder why all this activity suddenly. I mean, obviously DJT, but is it the BBB, the economic indicators, the mass deportations, something else?
I remember the CryptKeeper having a better sense of humor. And a better sense of fashion.
The day is still young, but I think I'll at least make it to the 4th.
But it is kind of you to ask, so thank you.
About the same as yesterday, but grumpier.
We should probably start with the C-suite.
I'm in a right to work state. Not complaining but I couldn't have fewer protections. I have to produce or I'm on the street.
Primarily, advertising nationally, but wanting a butt in a seat in a specific high cost area, while expecting potential employees to eat the relocation cost, and for a salary that they should have been embarrassed to offer in 2010. Then calling it "hybrid".
Taking six months after you've submitted an application to make any contact and then telling you they expect multiple rounds (6) of interviews and a project over the next two weeks just to be considered for the final round.
Basically pretending you want top tier talent, but recruiting in a way that will only attract the desperate, mediocre or both.
I am starting to see the job market improve. I was contacted by three recruiters in the last week after probably over a year of no responses.
Unfortunately, all three companies are still stuck in 20th century thinking and I'm fortunate that I can hold out for a 21st century company.
But it's a good sign
Come on, man.
They are the party of empty platitudes and hot air.
Tell me again how preventing a vote by being a clown "saves our democracy"
Was this supposed to be an editorial, or is it just what poorly passes for journalism these days?
Damn. Forgot I've also taken three slugs of horse paste over the last three days
I spent decades as a smoker and vape-er.
Had my last cigarette over a year ago thanks to Desmoxan.
I vaped nicotine again from maybe March to May when I just gave up because it was just too much effort and expense for too little enjoyment. Took Desmoxan for about 3 days and walked away from it.
So I've had nicotine in my bloodstream relatively recently.
Right now I have no breathing issues despite having a mild asthma diagnosis and my allergies are totally under control with a daily loratadine and I'm not sure even that is necessary..
TLDR - no stuffy or runny nose, no sneezing, no wheezing, no throat or chest congestion, no coughing, no sore throat.
The Covid hypotheses is interesting. I was last really sick a few months before Covid hit, but I never actually got it despite working in a hospital at the time. Left the hospital gig, and the job after that over the jab.

Regarding the dehydration - I'm willing to entertain it as a possibility. Thing is, I'm already regularly taking electrolytes (keeps my calves from tensing up when running the pushmower). My urine is pale yellow as is normal, I'm not thirsty, do not have dry mouth or dry skin. I do already consciously drink a lot of liquids, especially so last week when I was sweating profusely due to the heat.
But it's an easy fix to up my liquid intake so I'm willing to try.
Another odd symptom I have is waking up in the morning sweating profusely from my chest and nowhere else even though the room is kept at 72. My shirt and the sheets re soaked. This is when I sleep on my chest, if on my back, it doesn't happen. Seems sweating like that would be incompatible with dehydration, but again I think there re multiple factors at play.
The fever thing really has me perplexed. I just woke from about an hour nap and my temp was 100.5.
Really? I feel like I'm taking a leak hourly as it is.
Thanks AG. Prior to this, DMSO was my default liniment. But for whatever reason it didn't do the job this time. I may try to work it in again, at least during the day.
Oddly , it's incompatible with something in Diclofenac lotion - they react and form a white precipitate on the skin almost like grains of rice. So I kinda had to pick one and stick with it.
I'd say a Derecho, but it's hard to believe one of those came through without locals being aware.
I've been through two, and, believe me, they leave an impression.
Apologies for the long post. I have some after hours work to do tonight so I wanted to put in as much detail as I could in case I get pulled into a crisis tonight and can't respond.
Almost like the military is the only way.
You feds gotta learn to be more subtle.
