It's a choice.

Thrive to spite them

From time to time I see stuff like.. They said all the birds would be dead by now and they aren't!!!

Which is just...so frustrating.

But yeah there is this idea that I'd you take away regulations and laws businesses will still follow them . Even though there are still issues with compliance. Or if you take away regulations there will be more jobs.

I guess there would be more hazmat crew jobs...

Would there? I mean, there would be the need, but who would hire them?

I have come to a decidion. I am leaving early* and going to happy hour.

'* early meaning before my "scheduled" time to leave, but after I have put in over 40 hours if I count the vacation time and sick time that already got taken out of my paycheck

I think the "more jobs" rationale is up posed to be less time and money spent on ...safety ...means more money for hiring people.

Really it means more money for CEOs to shove in their pockets

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Askye posted EXACTLY what I was thinking.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

The state of the country is not doing great things for my anxiety. I am trying to keep it in check, by focusing on specific tasks. I am doing a brain dump here to, well to brain dump and also to see it all written out for myself.

- listed 13 things on ebay - sold 7 (relisted the rest) - $200+
- started back to gym on semi-regular schedule (WITH FRIEND!! YAY!) - 3 days this week
- had E drive to school - amazingly this driving thing is been amazing for our relationship, he is talking to me and gave me an unsolicited hug and is sharing stuff
- prepping for Whole Life Challenge menu starting Monday - I have been clearing out food that will not be allowed, bagged up some for food pantry
- upon discovering that credit cards are maxed out: made payments to both cards, applied for new 0% card to transfer some of balance
- personal financial belt tightening (see above) - aside from a scheduled massage, only spent $10 (used cash) this week. took lunches, used gift cards, ate in.
- cleaning: stayed on top of dishes, cleared some of kitchen counter, started on laundry tonight.
