At least this one didn’t get to resign first. Might reduce the number of departments where he can apply, though that number won’t be anything near zero.
Omg, you guys. I quit drinking at exactly the wrong time. Now I have to explain to my partner that it’s ok that I’m gonna be loaded 24/7 for a month; I’m just showing my support for my friends in the community.
You know what, they’re right. All this time I’ve spent praising our study of the universe, development of medicine and vaccines, even harnessing energy and sending information around the planet and I just feel duped.
So the real question is how did pay in the most common industries keep up with inflation. I don’t think anyone is disputing costs rising at comparable rates. It’s our ability to keep up as earners.
I’ll bet the contents of my wallet this man doesn’t know the first thing about anarchist thought or Left policies. He just wants violence against his perceived enemies. And to be a male fashion model.
Oh, Rutabaga, why?! You were the King of NYC. You could do no wrong. You farted in a hearing on your bullshit fake-ballots case. You melted under the sun of Four Seasons (was it supposed to be a hotel? No, T meant to hold a press conference in a parking lot!). You lost a huge case for libeling two unfortunate ladies who were then harassed by the henchmen of your boss who won’t pay you.
Oh, Rutabaga, where did you go wrong? I can only surmise that you flew too close to the sun.
Sounds like a great way to further undercut public services while turning young people against the Torries. Make this shit retroactively apply to everyone serving in government and I’d have no problem with it. Fuck legislation that by design will never touch them.
I am technically on 8am-5pm, though the boss lets us stop responding to emails at 430pm and head home. I’d have to answer a call or text, but that never happens. I get 1h unpaid lunch.
My coworkers come in a half hour later but only get a half hour lunch. I like the longer break, so I’m find with it. Technically, we’re all salaried, so we can show up a bit late or leave a bit early so long as we communicate with the boss about it.
I remember my father commenting to my mother when she was on the cover of Time or Newsweek during Billy’s time in office. He remarked about how smug she looked. That’s the word that came to mind reading this headline. Oh, wait, the thumbnail too. I wish she’d go away.
Typos in published books. Though it’s involuntary. It’s a bit of an (undiagnosed) OCD kinda thing.
But also, consciously, how much my presence affects others. I hold doors for strangers, I make space on sidewalks, I try not to talk loudly in public, etc. It’s the people who don’t notice these things at all about themselves that really drive me nuts. Like people speaking loudly on a phone that’s on speaker. I hate that type of behavior.
