Job cancelled due to plaugeā€¦ Welp. :expressionless:
(I had just started my three week and Covid has rattled their onboarding process to not continue.)

Thatā€™s fuckinā€™ rough bud. If thereā€™s anything I, an internet stranger in New York, can do to help. Iā€™d like to do that.

My wife is in a similar boat. She was supposed to start a whole pathology lab but is unable to get the resources, training, or people to do it currently. They havenā€™t officially put opening the lab on hold, yet, but looks like they could be heading there too.

Edit: Well, they postponed opening the lab.

Theyā€™re delaying annual raises for my entire business group until further notice.

I was due for a promotion, like 8 months ago, and it got halted from the summer weakness last year, and now I was again about to get it just waiting on the paper work and I fear it will happen again, though at this point Iā€™m just happy to have a job.

If you have a favorite neighborhood bar, cafe, pub, brewery, hangout spot; be sure to support them. Those people are getting hit really hard from the virus and these are industries with thin margins. Support them if you can. I already know one satalite brewery thatā€™s closing up shop here.

My family wanted to send me to Chaminade, the same Catholic school Hannity (and Bill Oā€™Reilly, and Al Dā€™Amato!) attended. They had good reason, it was clear I needed structure (I used to date a military school teacher and she had the same assessment of me) but Iā€™m glad I never went. Lucky I wasnā€™t turned into a monster.

I wonder if theyā€™ll put more actual science into those tests than they do for their others.

Hereā€™s the NY policy that goes into effect Sunday night at 8PM.

I have a friend who was just posting that she was now unemployed because she refused to continue working at gamestop. Her father had just been treated for cancer, so even more reason. If gamestop is this desperate, theyā€™re most likely going into some kind of bankruptcy soonā€¦ unless the bailout includes retail game storesā€¦ which it probably shouldnā€™tā€¦

I mean, portable bidets are like ten bucks.

A well deserved honor.

Rand Paul was also had surgery on his lungs last year due to damage from a physical altercation with his neighbor in November of 2017. Part of his lungs was removed.
