  1. RIF supposedly coming next week. I have a feeling this return to work is a CYA to avoid lawsuit, only to be RIFedlater.
  2. Fired probationary NWS folks are starting to get these letters stating they were fired in error and should return to work by Wednesday.
  3. Cant be autistic if you're dead from measles.
  4. Ole Miss's program looks pretty good right now. We should throw all the money at their coach and see if he'd bite.
  5. Its hit the NWS now. Probationary employees are getting their terminations emails as I type.
  6. Here's a little diddy I just made... https://suno.com/song/93afb618-a8b5-4637-bb08-0755c1fd17c4 [Verse] Lauren rollin' in her ride Red white blue Got nothin' to hide Staggered steps Straight to the show Mar-a-lago lights in a neon glow [Verse 2] Kid Rock sippin' whiskey neat Power bottom with a sore seat Raised a glass Said cheers to fame He really isn't But all the same [Chorus] She's pulling things Grip is tight In the dim club's searing light She grabs his rope Gets in her flow Lauren Kid Try and steal the show [Verse 3] Crowd goes wild Lauren's pullin' hard Kid Rock smirks He can't get hard In the game of power and might Up is down Wrong feels right
  7. Wait, I'm not seeing anyth.....ooooooh.
  8. McConnell already did that for them.
  9. I'm just shy of 10 months from my minimum retirement age. I'm also a 5-pt vet with 34 yrs of federal service. I'm not TOO worried about a RIF, but I am concerned these cocksuckers would try to just come in and shut down the entire office and try and fuck me over on my retirement. I'm also concerned that, if they dont shut us down, we'll, at a minimum, lose some of our younger folks. That means I'd be forced back into working rotating shiftwork on the weather desk again...and I'm too goddamn old to go back to rotating shiftwork. If that happens, I'll also have to resign from my high school softball coaching gig...right as I'm getting the program rebuilt from practically being dead. Fuck Elon, and fuck every feckless republican congressman who is too chickenshit to step up and stop this bullshit.
  10. Got my email about an hour ago. Not sure how, or if I'm responding. I never responded to his very first email asking everyone to reply "Yes" if they received it. If I do reply, it may be something along the lines of this: - did my job on Monday - did my job on Tuesday - did my job on Wednesday - did my job on Thursday - Fucked around on Friday (day off) - Found out (about this email) on Saturday
  11. Served with a guy who made E-4 three times, and E-5 twice.
  12. They should probably do it in stages and go to a squaregon first.
  13. As I mentioned, I'd give editing privileges to a select few here. If anyone wanted it, they could send a PM. The vetting process would probably be more thorough than the current administration's process to get a secret clearance, though. I'd also like to keep the current format, too.
  14. You, sir, may as well be speaking Martian because I cannot understand what you're saying to me. 👽
  15. Here's a link to a google document - https://docs.google.com/document/d/18F1A6LT3wDvwSvSdkAQt86lTQZ_CkfXKBTlmjFflxMs/edit?usp=sharing It's viewable only for now because I didn't want to allow the shitheads (if you're wondering if you're in that group, you're probably in that group) could edit it, but I'm not opposed to giving a select few here edit privileges.
  16. Just saw that right after I posted! I'll work on that this evening when work slows down.
  17. I found it so hard to keep up with the utter bullshit from this administration the first time around that I decided I'd try a running log this time.

  20. We need Molly Ivins back today more than ever. And while we're bringing back women of the past with a strong voice, add Ann Richards to the list.
  21. Its a Facebook thing. Gun nuts say Facebook censors anything with the word "gun" in it.
  22. RIP Roy Damn Mercer https://www.fox23.com/news/radio-legend-brent-douglas-has-passed-away/article_45748a22-e680-11ef-9706-0753db34486c.html
