I’m scared that my new position will be as bad or worse

It will be. But it’ll be a different kind of ‘as bad’ that you can maybe cope better with and maybe be content or happy. And, I worry you’ve shat in this bed already so you’ve got a best-before date.

My dude, the moment you say “just”, you make us all run away. “Just” is the keyword that says “someone is going to trivialize a bunch of shit they don’t understand” and that never ends well.

If it’s a sick day I definitely check my social.media and will even check work-teams every few hours.

I will talk to my boss or my boss-boss on teams during a sick day.

Union.

Wow. Dood. Your reality sounds stressful.

Its like an episode of Law and Order but in real life!

When I signed up, they were clear on what to expect. The vaaaaast majority of the time is spent maintaining gear and shoveling something into something. They didn’t hoodwink anyone, they didn’t sugar-coat anything. It’s all meditative.

Walking, shoveling, bugs, and small circular motions is kinda the bulk of it.

According to one of my platoon-mates,

Ya just kinda bend your knees a bit and stop there.

Welp, I’m out.

Net worth isn’t a thing except for the aristocratic right. There, privilege implies belonging; and when coupled with egocentric decisions is basically their entire theme.

Pretty much any ex British colony is heavily biased against darker skin tones

Oh, so I’m racist. Fuck you maybe?

Mine are the ones that properly report their software versions to hrSWInstalledTable.

English failure. 2 counts.

Thanks for putting the hyphen in the title.

people refusing to give money but offering some food item

Dude doesn’t need to accept it.

the condescension of

Hmm. Don’t be a dick, okay?

I was at a sandwich shop in town. Something happened and they messed up my sandwich. They said “want a remake?” and, well, please. I’m particular. “Want this one?” Yeah, as I’ll bring it home for the wife. But wait: on the way to the train I see a pair huddled in a doorway, just being. “Free sammich? Just from there, I swear it’s good, but it’s extra. You want?” Yeah, they wanted it.

Felt good not to waste it.

I feel totally okay with buying a poor guy lunch if he wants it. My family was poor, I’m okay now, I have no pride and I like food; I assume Buddy is the same way. If so, free lunch. Woo!

I don’t like giving money to people. I DO like giving money to the food bank, as they can leverage the fuck out of it and the dollar goes further for more people. I don’t give food to the food bank, as whatever I buy to give for them is nowhere near as good as me giving that money to them directly.

Hate speech needs to be said in person.

Said a different way, “I says pardon?”

We used to get Jeffersons back (with some Sacajaweas or suzyBs) from the p.a.t-h train into NYC at the turnstyles as change back from a Lincoln.

You cannot spend most of that anywhere and I still have some stashed in a box so many years later.

And it was fun naming the money, thank you for asking.

It takes a lot of attention to detail.

Nickelback fed and banked on that polarization.

The purpose of life is to live.

My purpose in life is varied and technical and super-great.

It’s so fetch.
