Friday! Payday, also, which is always nice. After today I will only get 2 (count 'em) more full time pay deposits into my bank. Some might find the idea of having their income halved rather daunting. Not me. While I don't want you to think I'm an old hand at this, I do have experience. Think of it as my 'early pandemic, essential associate hours during a lockdown' trial run from last year when I voluntarily cut my hours down to 25 per week. Back then I had a brief 'oh, shit' moment until I realized with my finances I had nothing to worry about as long as I cut back on those $40 bottles of wine (just kidding).
Yesterday was slow at work. Really. One of my fellow Specialists suggested it was the time of year, which might be the case. I'm not really concerned. In a few weeks, my sales goals are going to change, not that I have ever felt pressured or desperate.
The dogs were down playing around with Lily's 6 foot squeaky snake and now she has a bit of a booboo paw, or to be more specific since her anatomy is somewhat different to that of a human, a booboo wrist.
The only thing I like about my free SiriusXM subscription is that I get to hear more new alternative music. These guys are great. Three brothers. AJR. Their lyrics are more than a little OK.
At least 7 conservative radio hosts and anti-vaxxers have died from something.
They like living dangerously up in Idaho. The state has approved rationing of health care because of all the Covid patients in the hospitals, and what do they do? They put someone who spews misinformation about the disease in charge. He thinks it's fake. What a shame he's not a radio host.
There's supposed to be some sort of assemblage of protestors in Washington tomorrow, losers upset that people involved in the January 6 coup attempt have been arrested. However, to assemble, they need bodies, something organizers are concerned about. Right Wing groups are telling their members not to go... they're worried about getting arrested, and photographed, and... well, doing anything incriminating. The Orange Anus is going to be far, far away and, in fact, has rarely mentioned this gathering of Republicans, out of fear, I don't doubt. His future does not look bright.

Yay money!
ReplyDeleteAnd I heard that construction and remodeling have taken a tall during the pandemic. My manfriend has had people working on his kitchen for almost three months now. Everything was delayed.
And I've had Sirius. It's cool. They keep offering me trials but I mostly listen to podcasts when I commute.
And I read Laura Loomer (one of those unvaccinated bottom feeders) has COVID (maybe COVID is infected with Loomer?) and is saying she's taking those snake oil medicines. Tiniest violin.
I hope they try and do something tomorrow. They're gonna find a very different kind of animal in Washington.
XOXO
I suspect tomorrow's going to be the day for party poopers and they're going to blame the Democrats.
DeleteI sure a few liberal radio host have died too, but I like the fact these outspoken guys died. Wonder if anyone work up and and said, hmmm maybe he was wrong.
ReplyDeleteBit of trivia, Liberals don't listen to talk radio, people have tried it over and over again and it always fails.
DeleteIf you go to a hospital, unvaxxed. with COVID, you should be given an aspirin and sent on your way home ... or to the morgue.
ReplyDeleteAnd I believe they should announce the names of these people publicly.
DeleteI say let them go and act like asses that they are....it will give them , the repugs, and the Dump more turmoil, and bad news.
ReplyDeleteI hope thousands show up and they have a Delta Party.
DeleteI remember going over and over and over my budget when I decided (rather suddenly) to retire 3 months hence. All the more so since I was cutting my income by 2/3rds!! But it was ok in the end, and I knew it would be! If you're sensible you know where you stand re money - but the thought of giving up those $40 bottles of wine must be heart-breaking!
ReplyDeleteHeart-breaking is not strong enough... I might have to start buying wine from the bargain bin.
