  1. I should note that as of the last jobs report, openings are listed at about 8.1 million, and the workforce is 5 million is about less than it was pre-covid, so even if you got everyone back, you're still significantly short.
  2. With all the Amazon warehouses and such, some folks really take to that kind of work. It's not for everybody, but I fucking loved slinging belts in a Goodyear warehouse as a in between gig. You don't have to talk to anyone, you get to move around all day, good break schedule, good hours.
  3. Now you know why in Sir-Mix-A-Lot's Posse on Broadway the women they picked up were alright with eating at Dick's over Taco Bell.
  4. At some point I want to hear from the people that aren't working their old food service jobs any more, and not the employers bitching about not being able to find workers. It seems like we are refusing to look at the full picture, and take whatever the employer says at face value and without questions, and assume that must be it.
  5. While I’ve never worked in food service, everyone seems to indicate that doing so fucking sucks with shitty hours and schedules, and that management is often pretty shady regarding tips and other employment laws. Then you add in a declining cohort of younger workers. (I believe nationally school enrollment is to drop in aggregate through 2030 or so) so the labor pool that the industry relies is getting shallower on top of that. Then you can add in other opportunities that your labor force sees as better be it door dashing or working in an Amazon warehouse(slightly better pay, defined hours, less assholes deciding your pay on whims, less drawbacks overall) and you can’t be really surprised that labor is getting tighter. It’s like when people bemoan the lost of small dairy farms without ever acknowledging that being a small dairy owner sucks because you work your ass off and wreck your body for limited payoff.
  6. I just can't imagine myself giving any sort of fuck about what James Carville has to say in the year of our Lord 2021
  7. She’s from western Kansas, what’s she going to be disappointed by?
  8. It provided rail options, and a direct flight was available. The idea was to spend 0 time there.
  9. In Lincoln, brewery wise, I’d recommend Zipline or Kinkaider first as well.
  10. Working on planning a October honeymoon and looking a different combinations for a PNW/California trip. Leading idea right now is flying to Sacramento, hoping a train up to Portland then going up to Seattle with stops a Mt’s Hood, Rainer, and Olympic National Park. Back up idea is driving the PCH from Oxnard north. I’m open to any suggest or advice you all might have
  11. As an actual Lincoln resident that just noticed the thread. Food wise, if you want something nice, hit up something in the Venue family of restaurants, although Hiro88 is where I’d go if for some reason you want seafood/sushi in Nebraska. Stuhr22 is a pretty good Liberian/Jamaican joint. PhatJacks is the best BBQ, but you’ve likely had better. Misty’s is the traditional steakhouse but I’ve never cared for it. There’s some more hidden ethnic gems if you want more advice that way. (Lincoln has a lot of refugee resettlement because of our Lutheran community and the work Lutheran Family Services does and it’s great for our food scene) For places to stay, outside the suicide motel at 27th and O, and some of the airport adjacent stuff you’re going to have basic travel hotels. If you had to stay downtown, I’d go with the Graduate over Embassy Suites, but that’s mostly cause I’ve had a lot of good times in that building. For non-football stuff to see, the Capitol building is a pretty cool tour if you are into buildings. You can go look at Buffalo/escaping convicts if you go out to Pioneers Park. Otherwise it’s standard college town stuff. As a place to stay alternative, hitting up Mahoney or Platte River State park for a cabin would probably be worth a look too.
  12. They can in Waverly too if you want a closer trip out of Lincoln.
  13. Well, if he’s down a thumb shortly we’ll know
  14. So on a efficacy anecdote while I managed to get Covid right after my first Moderna shot, my fiancé who lives with me, and has both Pfizer shots tested negative.
  15. Also, our office superspreader took out another guy who had got the JnJ the same day I got Moderna 1 although he has less symptoms than I do apparently.
  16. Also, I officially popped hot for COVID so not going to have wear pants to work for next week.
  17. I think the attraction was more of an open bar for everyone there
  18. Cattle feeders banquet in the largest cattle feeding county in Nebraska
  19. Well given that he went to a no mask 500 person indoor party and got him and his wife sick before me, and would have breathed all over me repeatedly last week in the office, the odds are pretty good.
  20. Oh I am this AM once the place opens.
  21. So for the record I got my shot 8 days ago, and immediately got exposed to a dumb shit coworker who attended a mass indoor gathering with no masks. I’ve got a 102 fever but mostly feel fine otherwise and can smell and taste, so I’m rooting for it to be a sinus infection
  22. So pretty fair chance I got exposed by a dumb shit coworker right after I got my Moderna shot, and 8 day later I have a 102 fever and mild body aches but can still taste and smell. I’m hoping it’s just a sinus infection tripping the fever.
  23. I would not be shocked if this ends with R. Budd Dwyer part 2 at the pace we are going.
