Bluntness

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

Boosters all around

 And I thought today was supposed to be sunny and dry... well, that forecast was wrong.  Now I understand there's a good possibility we're going to be getting rain, with the occasional thundershower thrown in for good measure.  No sun, the clouds are going to be hanging low, bundled in a swathe blanket just a few hundred feet above the tree tops.  This is not at all what I was hoping for.

Work was slow yesterday.  I did sign 2 individuals up for credit cards.  I don't push credit.  I don't want to be even remotely responsible for a customer getting in over their head in debt.  However, that being said, if someone walks up to me and asks to sign up for a credit card, I will sign them up.  That happened twice yesterday.  I can never, ever remember that happening before.   Management will be very happy.

Yesterday, I also sat down with our store HR person and told her I had picked my day to go part-time.  Her response?  "Don't tell me, you need to talk to your manager."  Slacker.  I used to do her job.  I know how things work.  She has a habit of sloughing things off on management that she doesn't want to deal with.  Oh, well, this is how it goes.

Oh, and there's a lot of talk about how we vaccinated are going to need to get a booster shot.  Where does the line start.  I want to be part of that club.


I saw where Loser #45 tried to spin the loss of the candidate he supported into another lie, at least that was the very minor headline in one of the media outlets I scan daily.  His base is small, loud, and now evidently prone to failure.  

And what about that infrastructure deal.  What was it?  Seventeen Republicans jumped off the sinking ship?  And Susan Collins said "bipartisanship works?"  America is watching.  The hardliners are fuming loudly

And then, of course, there is the January 6 Commission.  So many Republicans are wishing their phony Benghazi commissions, all 3 of them, had struck this much of a cord with the American public.  The truth is going to kick them back under the rocks from whence they came.

  1. Yesterday our forecast was hot hotter hottest with nary a drop of rain in sight. Imagine all our surprise when a storm raged through dropping tons of rain and hurling trees and branches into the roads.

    I know you can't predict the weather, but to not mention even a possibility of rain, much less powerful storms?
    I loathe weather people.

    1. And they get paid quite well to be so frequently wrong.

  2. I such if the virus keeps mutating we will need a whole new vaccine again. I already am seeing people masking up again....even those vaccinated.

    I saw the testimony the other day from the four capital police. If that didn't move politicans ..especially rotten Republicans....there is someone seriously wrong mentally upstairs. The one really let them have it.

    1. I didn't watch the testimony, but now you see why Republicans are terrified of this. Now, doesn't that make you feel good.

  3. The booster shots may be coming, taking into account that so many idiots refuse to get vaccinated and keep passing around the virus. Ugh.
    I watched the officers' testimony. The think blue line was nowhere to be seen. And Fucker Clarkson and that blond Nazi woman on fox mocked them. Despicable.

    XOOX

    1. I'm fine with a booster. And as far as I know, only the hardcore MAGA's hate the Jan 6 proceedings.

  4. Well done for not pushing credit cards. In the US, in particular, I found it so hard to get credit cards (once you've got the first one they start pouring in) and it can really get you into trouble!

    1. One of the problems with American Capitalism is this belief that when things go wrong, it's someone else's fault.
