99.9% of jobs do not require urgency of any kind, really they don't. We've all had a boss who acts like someone will die if we don't hit some made up deadline by people who don't even do the job. No one needs their meal 1 minute faster or the paperwork before tomorrow morning. Your time off actually doesn't need to wait. Sometimes I think about how legitimately bad most businesses are at time management and hiring, and I wonder how they manage to exist at all.

Curiously, no one at my work takes it very well when I tell them a lack of planning on their part does not constitute an emergency on my part, but I am being 100% genuine when I say that. Actual emergencies are things like fires, earthquakes, prison riots, or someone choking on a piece of fish and turning blue. Most so-called "emergencies" are driven by either ego or laziness and I refuse to treat them with anything but annoyance.

I once witnessed a correctional administrator (a glorified prison guard) try to dictate to an architect how to arrange load-bearing walls; the architect used some profanity that was new to me and refused to do it because "when it collapses it's my fucking license they'll pull, not yours!"

That was an entertaining afternoon. 🤣

Reminder:

It is not a good idea to to respond to every bit of craziness in the news.

By "crazy" I mean speculation.

If we respond (click) all are encouraging craziness.

People click, and the people spreading crazy get rich and they have an inventive to continue.

Traditional news publishers learn that there is $$ in spreading crazy.

In the past, people saw speculation, felt worried and asked me how things work.

We are then part of the cycle.

Let's not be part of the problem.

Deeply agreed. As a manager, I was trained to prepare for contingencies, but you don't dwell in those contingencies. You try to anticipate possible complications (within reason), determine possible courses of action in response, and then move on with your life until and unless things develop. You don't obsess because that blinds you to other possibilities you might not have thought of.

These dudes are saying they can't believe women would choose the bear, and then threaten Assault and Violence on women for choosing said bear.

The first step is training yourself, as a man, not to feel offended when you notice a woman keeping her distance from you or keeping her barriers up. Recognize that she probably has a good reason for that, especially if you're a large or assertive man; her life experience has probably given her cause to be cautious. Don't double-down on your assertiveness, show some respect for her right to be cautious. Everyone has the right to exist free of fear.

I fully expect an opinion that reads: "Bullshit. Bullshit-bullshit-bullshit. Bullshit. COMPLETE BULLSHIT. Go to jail. GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200."

Something my son said to me:

"I feel like a lot of people are showing their own callousness. I keep hearing people wonder why college students would care so much about people they don't know and why they would risk their own education and future for someone else.

"Do they even hear themselves talking?"

My latest - hope you read, share, and subscribe

"To this day in 2024, thousands of children are forced into child marriage in the United States—and Republicans seem to want to keep it that way. With several thousand documented child marriages every year—some involving as children as young as 10—we need need legislative solutions and penalties for those who exploit children. But where do we begin? Let’s Address This."
