Yay!
Time to break out the list of things that I’ve been accumulating and get busy!
I actually do like this working vacation because I have so many things that I want to do.
This is the first vacation I’ll be taking since I’ve began writing on a daily basis.
I’ll write a bunch of blog entries, I’m sure.
Let’s do this!
I am most pleased about being able to bike back and forth to work once again.
This will be the 3rd day so far this week.
I have been tired for the last couple of days but there is a period of acclamation where the body needs to stop and realize we’re doing this again.
The journey back and forth each day has been extremely wonderful even in the bad weather. It is much different than driving back and forth in a car. You are relying on yourself. It is just you, the bike, and the road.
I’m just happy to be able to do it again.
I think with out the need to write more about the subject, the picture from today’s paper below demonstrates why it is so difficult to hire right now.
The company I work for goes through employees like shit through a goose. They hire 5 and the next day 3 leave. I’m not certain that the reason is so that they can say they’ve “tried” to find something.
For an employee who is not in managment, they make more money by not working. I have always felt that was the case but this chart puts those thoughts into a concrete form.
Why go to work when you can make more money by staying home? Probably also doesn’t hurt your need to feel safe from Covid as well.
This is one of my all time favorite ladies doing a character that is so horrible it makes you laugh…
Since I write a lot of science fiction stories, I often wonder what would cause a civilization to never make it into space or not very far before the society collapses.
The collapse could be for any number of reasons.
Here is why I think the inhabitants of any planet can either kill the planet or as a people they thrive and reach out to the stars.
I believe this equation best describes it.
If you grow as a society faster than the rate of innovation, you die.
I think we are there. We’re producing shit tons of plastics that will have no where to go when we’re done with them. You could say “recycling” but you’d be wrong. Most plastic ends up either in the ocean or in a land fill. We could sure use an atomizer.
Too bad we didn’t invent one yet.
WASHINGTON — The idea of artificially cooling the planet to blunt climate change — in effect, blocking sunlight before it can warm the atmosphere — got a boost on Thursday when an influential scientific body urged the United States government to spend at least $100 million to research the technology.
Yep. You are not seeing things.
That technology, often called solar geoengineering, entails reflecting more of the sun’s energy back into space through techniques that include injecting aerosols into the atmosphere. In a new report, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine said that governments urgently need to know whether solar geoengineering could work and what the side effects might be.
This concept is so hilarious to me that I literally wrote it into a short story I am currently writing. I needed a way to explain how humans could destroy a planet and then I stumbled upon this little gem.
Again. Hilarious.
I grew up with sports.
I used to watch my favorite NFL football team play every weekend and couldn’t wait for the Super Bowl. I remember getting depressed after the All-Star game because I knew there would be no football until next season.
I actually liked the XFL and I loved that it filled the gap of the missing NFL. It only lasted for a season which sucked royal money balls.
I turned 50 and something happened. I’m not sure exactly what it was but I started to not care as much about football as I once did. I’m pretty sure the enormous salaries had something to do with it. I’m sure making teams change their name because someone is “offended” may also have something to do with it. I think it was the money mostly.
Right now, the Washington Redskins don’t even know who the hell they are. The people that are offended aren’t even the people that are supposed to be offended. The real Redskins (the Indians for you new people) don’t give a fuck.
When the coronavirus hit, sports because the last thing on Earth that people actually cared about and I was ok with that. I guess it took the pandemic for me to realize just how insignificant sports really is. The sports went away for a period of time and everything was ok.
This is from an article in today’s paper.
First of all, these kids did NOT lose everything last year. They are still fucking alive aren’t they? You fucking moron.
Everyone didn’t die. The newspaper was a lot more fun to read for me because the sports section (if it was in the paper at all) was only a page or half of a page.
To sum up this article…
…fuck sports.
