Reminds me of something I read once. If you want to get out of work. Like you’re at work, and you really really don’t want to be there. You can get out with 4 words. You swallow your pride, walk into your bosses office, and proclaim “I shit my pants”
You will have the rest of the day off.
Really depends on what I am doing. Whatever I was previously doing has been been put on an indefinite pause until I can get new clothes and probably take a shower. But I have kids, so the day must go on.
It is a question. The answer is always “Aight”
I’m not even sure I would call it “low income households”, more like “older building/houses”. Plenty of expensive apartment units are in old buildings (I’m looking at you NYC) without proper ventilation.
I own a unit in a co-op in a building that is over 100 years old. I have a gas stove. There is a vent on my above-range microwave but it’s just a filter that blows it back into the room. I do a lot of cooking. I’m in danger.
That an corporations don’t care about their daily numbers unless they are trending. Like, people won’t buy stuff today, so they will just go buy the stuff tomorrow. Monthly and quarterly profits took no hit.
It’s HR. That’s basically their job. They pretend they are there to protect the employees, but they are mostly there to protect the company.
First time was an honest mistake. Second time… That’s all on him.
Working in IT - Desktop support. One of my co workers picked up a ticket to go replace a keyboard in HR. HR was in a different building and it was mid winter and really cold out. He grabbed his coat and walked over there to replace the keyboard. Apparently he had a fat stanky bag of weed in his coat pocket. It was apparently very noticeable. A phone call was made before he even got back, and he was immediately let go.
This was before any kind of legalization existed in the area.
As a fellow tall, I don’t even buy things unless they are “T” sized anymore. Gave up on it a long time ago. My shirt size is “XLT”. There are sometimes things like work events or other places where they are giving away T shirts and they ask for my size and I tell them XLT and they are like “How about XXL?” and I’m like “No”. I don’t need to add another ill-fitting t shirt to the pile of shirts I will never wear.
Kohl’s has a big and tall section that is pretty reliable. The past few years I have been stocking up on Tommy Bahama clothing. I have a relative who works pretty high up the chain for their corporate office so I am able to get a discount which brings the price of their clothing down from “outrageously expensive” to “still pretty expensive”. It’s damn good quality clothing though. I have the Big & Tall Bali Skyline T-shirt in every color. It’s probably the most comfortable thing I have ever worn.
Industry groups argued that those museums didn’t have “appropriate safeguards” to prevent users from distributing the games once they had them in hand.
And what exactly is stopping me from scanning library books and uploading them online? Are you going to ban libraries too?
Actually, let’s not give them ideas.
Honestly wouldn’t even be that difficult to build. Windows is just a GUI for Powershell anyway.
This is like the 3rd time I’ve seen somebody bring up Outer Wilds today, and I still haven’t played it. It looks like that might be next on my list.
So I got my first 2 shots way back when. And I think this is my 3rd booster?
No underlying health issues but it might be worth noting that I got covid way at the beginning of the pandemic and I was hospitalized for a week. It was the sickest I have ever been in my life. I was sick for 2 weeks before I went to the hospital because back then it was next to impossible to get a test, and it took forever to get results back.
I don’t know if I’m one of the few that is just voulerable to covid or whatever, and maybe because of that the vaccine has a chance to hite differently? I don’t know. There’s still so much unknown about covid, but I’m really hoping this fatigue clears up because quality of life is way down right now. It’s been very difficult to work and take care of my daughter etc. Driving isn’t safe… It’s not great.
I need to preface this by saying that I am in no way anti-vaccine, and this has nothing to do with politics.
But…
I got my last booster about 3 weeks ago, and I have been messed up ever since. Apparently there is something called Long Vax Syndrome that is currently being studied. Fortunately I don’t have some of the worst symptoms, but the fatigue is so real. Normally when I would get a covid booster I would be exhausted for about 24 hours, but this is unrelenting. I’ve never been this tired in my life, and it’s honestly a struggle. I am really hoping something comes of the research and they figure something out because I don’t know how long I can sustain this.
Step 1 - Create a depression unlike we have ever seen and make people desperate for any job they can get.
