'Help'
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.
Big layoffs sound scary. I think we are moving in that direction but my union would like us all to strike? I really don't wanna.
I had a sourdough in the fridge I hadn't fed for like 3 months and it was pretty easy to revive. It's resilient than you'd expect.
K and I are almost done watching all of the Great Canadian Bakeoff and I am sad.
Six months severance sounds pretty good. Not getting laid off, also pretty good. On a scale of everything sucks to things could be worse, I guess. Jeepers.
There’ve been a couple of teacher’s strikes and the Kaiser strike around here recently. And I think county workers? I have not really followed how successful they were as far as what agreements were reached but presumably they got something…they were all pretty short which really could mean anything.
Six months severance would be nice but not the “looking for a job” part so…yeah.
Jesse they are still looking for someone in Woods Hole!
quester the job loss sucks but the severance sounds good. I second the recommendation about a credit union. They have good resources and sometimes you just have to live in an area to be able to join one.
I really should switch to one but the thought of changing all my bank stuff is daunting.
erika for awhile on FB anytime I liked something or tried to comment I would get an error message that my activity was too frequent. Even when it was the first time that day and it didn't matter what it was. I think I reinstalled the app and that helped.

Haha, that makes me want to work there less than ever!
Awww, FB memories pulled up a post from 2014 with a comment by Burrell.
On the whole I do like seeing everybody's living words and being reminded of them and our interaction. But it does have a melancholy pang.
The stars finally aligned for me to have friends over and light up the fire globe Friday night. Turns out it works beautifully and did not set my lawn ablaze, so it wasn't a wasted purchase after all. (Likewise putting my patio furniture to use for the first time in ages.) Once the fallen limb woodpile dries out from the current rainy weather I'm going to start chopping it down to usable lengths and burning it off.
Fire globe sounds intriguing!
I was just thinking of Burrell the other day. It’s so shitty that so many of our people have passed away.
I may have slept for only 3-4 hours tonight and then headed to work and from work went to physical therapy, but oh, let me tell you how alive I feel after I've been out and not next to safe spaces for about an hour today AND DIDN'T DIE. Cannot recommend it for obvious reasons, but it's exhilarating.
I also got the permission to work from home, which I will use to a. stay safe, and b. not to be next to colleagues in the bomb shelter who are talking about how there's no chance of survival if it's a direct hit.
This really needs to end.
