Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Not a flip-flop

 We have steady rain, this Sunday morning.  The temps are in the mid 40s (F) and should be climbing up into the high 50s (F), possibly reaching 60 (F), which is ridiculous for this time of year.  We are in winter, after all.  Looking ahead, however, the long range forecast has our temps dropping down into what might be consider frigid temps by next week.  That means highs in the low 20s (F).  We shall have to wait and see.

Work was slow yesterday; five hours of meh.  Being Sunday, I don't expect it to be any busier.  I had my "one on one" with my supervisor yesterday.  These little meetings are like mini-reviews we need to sit through every month.  They're supposed to help me set my goals for the next month.  My goal for this coming month, and in case you're wondering, it's the same goal every month, is to get more people to sign up for credit cards.  They actually want me to sign up 2 (two) customers a week for credit cards.  The interest rate is something like 27 %. I simply can't do that just to feed the orange retailer's need for greed.  This means that I will always fail my goal.  So what?

Plans for today?  Work again.  I'm usually scheduled every Sunday unless I request off.  I want to get a couple of miles in on the treadmill.  And, as usual, work on the final draft of The Body in History.  I was talking to my artist yesterday about the cover art.  I keep switching things around in my head. First I want the Tholos of Athena, then I want to see something with the actual Temple of Apollo.  I'm also thinking of doing some AI generated pictures as an intro when it's finally ready to sell.

If you ask Republicans why they like Trump, many will tell you he did some good things during his first term.  They never, ever talk about his failures.


Many of them also though he'd come out against his new blow Bro Elon in the Republican Civil War over the H-1B controversy.  Many people on social media claimed that there was going to be a terrible divorce between the two, mostly because of the Orange Anus's ego.  Well, that didn't happen.  In fact, Orangey has cozied up to Elonia on the H-1B issue.  What most people don't understand is that Orangey lives for his dictators and super duper billionaires, Elonia, being the richest man in the world, pretty much has those two bases covered in an odd way.  Orangey now likes H-1B immigrants.  He's been hiring them for years, though not in tech jobs like Elonia.  Nope.  Orangey uses them to get cheap labor to work in his hotels.  Orangey campaigned against the H-1B visas in 2016, and again in 2020.  Did he suddenly flip-flop to join ranks with Elonia?  Nope.  For the first time in his life, Orangey told the truth.  Why?  He no longer needs cultists to vote for him.

    1. The ones who dress up like clowns will, those who understand that he wants to make America great for Billionaires will not.

  2. I think this is the first time the dump is being sexually harassed. Elon says suck, and the dump drops.

    It's nice out today and the sun is coming out...finally.

    1. Not surprising, the sun went back in, and now it's raining.

  3. The magas don’t like being reminded of Trumpy’s failures and short comings, because they’re in denial of their own failures and short comings. -Rj

    1. And never fear, they'll figure out some way to place the blame on someone else.

  4. I can't imagine having to sit through a monthly review (whichever side of the desk I was sitting) and 27% interest rate!!! Jeez, I seriously hope you don't make your goal!

    1. I have never made my goal. So far this year I've signed up only 3 people for credit cards, and did so because they wanted the cards.
