SaysWho? Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 11 hours ago, marioandsonic said: I was laid off two weeks ago. I know I have no hope of anyone who would want to hire a pathetic loser like me. The best I can hope for now is to donate my cat a humane shelter, and give him a decent home. Meanwhile, I'll just die in a gutter somewhere where nobody cares. Look man, only a couple people here know it, but I switched careers two months ago because new management wanted me to do something I straight up didn't want to do. They were awful and I have an attorney representing me against them at the moment. I was lucky that I had a job the next week because I was searching before shit hit the fan; not everyone gets that lucky with timing. But the experience taught me that, sometimes, being severed, laid off, unwanted, etc., at an old job can be a blessing because if you're well-meaning and doing the work, then there is something seriously wrong with the management/ownership who didn't want you. Take Spork's advice, have your resume, and apply apply apply. It's good that you're thinking of your cat, but the solution isn't giving him away; it's getting yourself back on two feet so he can walk on four with a roof over his head. 2 1 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I know I was in an incredibly dire place just 4 1/2 years ago where it seemed like it was all hopeless and everything was falling apart and then things turned around and I got a job that actually used my skills and quickly started moving up until things got really wild and now I’m retired but things were really going well career wise at the end. Things can always turn around no matter how bad it feels right now. One thing that I think helps is to always remember that no matter what, it’s never too late to start a dry wall business. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaladinSolo Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 The Conspiracy of Silence to Protect Joe Biden NYMAG.COM The president’s mental decline was like a dark family secret for many elite supporters. Flood gates are completely open now. Those who encountered the president in social settings sometimes left their interactions disturbed. Longtime friends of the Biden family, who spoke to me on the condition of anonymity, were shocked to find that the president did not remember their names. At a White House event last year, a guest recalled, with horror, realizing that the president would not be able to stay for the reception because, it was clear, he would not be able to make it through the reception. The guest wasn’t sure they could vote for Biden, since the guest was now open to an idea that they had previously dismissed as right-wing propaganda: The president may not really be the acting president after all. Saying hello to one Democratic megadonor and family friend at the White House recently, the president stared blankly and nodded his head. The First Lady intervened to whisper in her husband’s ear, telling him to say “hello” to the donor by name and to thank them for their recent generosity. The president repeated the words his wife had fed him. “It hasn’t been good for a long time but it’s gotten so, so much worse,” a witness to the exchange told me. “So much worse!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he knows COBOL, so that seems like an obvious place to start with job hunting. It looks like there are remote COBOL jobs too so he wouldn't even have to move necessarily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osxmatt Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 2 hours ago, PaladinSolo said: Biden Tells Governors He Needs More Sleep and Less Work at Night - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM The president’s opening remark to a group of key Democratic leaders — that he was in the race to stay — chilled any talk of his withdrawal, participants said. Said he needs to work less, sleep more, and fewer events after 8pm,lol.... Joe Biden leading by example. 4-day work week here we come! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaladinSolo Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 3 hours ago, Jason said: Hochul is an unbelievably enormous moron with the political instincts of a brick so now I'm 100% convinced Biden should drop off the ticket. The most cynical thing I've read in all this is the belief by congressional dems that some of the Governors gave their full endorsement to try and derail kamala cause if she won shed most likely be the 2028 nominee,which some of them have plans to be. So if Hochul is one of those govs, then LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you are paying them that already? EDIT - I just assume this from your wording of them not caring about American holidays, which to me implies they don't mind working for regular rates compared to most people which need to be paid 1.5x or 2x for stat work.

Oracle Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 2 hours ago, Spork3245 said: I’m sorry, I don’t want to be in denial, but this sounds like hyperbolic bullshit. That's because it is. The thing about conspiracy theories is that they presume hundreds to potentially thousands of people are capable of keeping their mouths shut. There's no way that the President of the United States has been bumbling into every social situation he's involved with and everyone agreed to not speak a word of it. You can't even cover up a mistake at an office situation as long as one person catches you make the mistake because they'll inevitably tell someone. However, we're supposed to believe that the most watched person on the planet has been stumbling around like Weekend at Bernie's and it's been kept as the world's greatest secret. And, from the inner circles I am a part of, I can say that this is definitely not some secret being spread around. I am confident that if there were so many secret accounts of Biden drooling on himself at least one would have gotten back to me in my current position. I can't say any more than that because I don't know any more than that. And I'll admit that if I had any insight into Biden's performance last week that it would be pure speculation on my part which I am not going to engage in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
