You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

I have a recruiter putting me up for a job at the Fed that's pretty up there and represent a big salary increase.

Good luck with that, Gud! Working for the Fed is a great gig. EM worked for the SF office for years and I used to temp there all the time.

Coding and Sleeping

I need to take a technical assessment by the end of this weekend on 'Cloud Computing'. I know how to do cloud stuff, but that's an awfully ambiguous name. Think I'll brush up on jargon and architecture best practices.

I am embarrassed to admit I had to google that, chrismg. Good one!

Cloud computing sounds hard. Are they discrete or continuous?

That's definitely not the mash-up I was thinking of.

Herding cats for fun

I vote for Beverly's plan for our criminals. I think occasionally some lucky taxpayers should float by in a hot air balloon so they could throw rocks and show off their cheeseburgers and pizza and warm sweaters. Grrrrrr!

Job~ma Gud! The recruiter thinks you can do it and so do I.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I am not much of a meat eater, so I have less personal interest in the whole meat supply chain issue, but it occurred to me - considering how many of the people working in the plants are or can easily become sick, would you want to eat anything they'd processed?

I try to buy most of my fruit and veggies and eggs from the farmers' market, but they're closed down for the time being. The food's fresher and I have more faith that the food will be less likely to be contaminated by anything.

Ooh, our farmer's market is allowed to be open although under some restrictions that I don't remember right now. I think it's produce only. And I think it's tomorrow, when I will be furloughed, so maybe I can go! I should look up how it works these days...
