'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have to dig out my nasty woman t-shirt.
I still think Trump is likely to win.
I disagree. Every single day he does things that cost him votes, but nothing to gain votes. There are his hard core, but he has lost a lot of seniors, all the youth, and many of the women. Of course voter suppression and fraud remain a real concern. If people vote, which is always a challenge, then he really doesn't have enough support to get enough states.
This morning, I've already heard a Republican strategist (I guess?) talking about how she was so liberal as a prosecutor, which seems like really the wrong line of attack, since there's a decent-sized criticism from the left about her record there... But really I think people will remember pretty quickly that the VP doesn't actually matter that much.
With the way things tighten up as the election gets closer and a likely DOJ investigation of Biden coming up and voter suppression efforts, I think things will be close enough that it come down to slim margins in a few states and the election will be decided in the courts and that will favor Trump. I don't think he has a chance of getting more votes, though.
I just got to finish up filing work on one of my favorite names thus far: Lola Ojo-Filani
Huh, I told Facebook I wasn't interesting in talking with them because I didn't have any interest in relocating, but they came back saying 100% remote is a possibility. Not sure how I feel about pursuing that.
Things are so weird now job market wise. Recruiters will contact me about a job, I'll say I'll be happy to find out more and then I'll never hear from them again.
Next call with the contract company about moving to full-time is in 15 minutes. Everybody -ma me.
Full-time ~ma!
ma~ma~ma
FT~ma!
More roadblocks thrown up by Allstate, which I only found out when my car was at the dealership collision shop waiting to be worked on. A service rep literally came running out to give me my keys back as I was walking toward my mom's van to leave. Apparently the claim number I was given, which has worked for me so far, doesn't work for the body shop and they have to have the official estimate from the insurance agency to order parts.
Oh well, at least I have confirmation that my car is safe to drive on the highway. Aside from the front bumper the damage is only cosmetic, nothing wrong with the engine, transmission, or brakes. Take that, huge SUV that had to be towed from the scene!
