Absolute traitor.

An innocent man would say “I hope he tells the truth”. Loyalty is bullshit in a criminal case.

A Freudian Slip-in.

Persimmons. Have a full size tree about to drop maybe 40 pounds of them. And I have no idea what to do with that many.

Oh, wow. Texas, Missouri, Alabama, etc. become not our problem anymore? Gimme a petition to sign!

If the criteria is pure suction power, my Shark literally sucked a strip of veneer off an antique rocking chair. And nearly pulled down a curtain it grabbed hold of. Which aren’t good things, but I learned to turn it down when near loose stuff.

Awww… so unfair!

I haven’t had half that many and I’m 70.

Yup, but still might work. It was a small company (at least was when I started) though. This won’t work at Apple or Northrop or places like that.

This was a LONG time ago, but… I was an electronics tech without a job. I managed to talk to (not interview with) an executive at a company I wanted to work at but wasn’t encouraged. He said something on the order of “Maybe later” and that was enough. He (or rather, his secretary) started to get calls from me every Monday and Wednesday morning right at their opening time to check whether Later might be now. Most of the time I was told he was busy. But after about a month they finally had me come in for an interview. I don’t know if they were just tired of my calls or if they were impressed with my diligence. I was hired, and worked there for the next 14 years.

I fully agree with this article. Some years back I even left an employer for a lesser position specifically because they went from cubicles to open office. That kind of caused the company some problems as they were under contract with a tight delivery date, I was then the center of some engineering developments and they didn’t actually have anyone else at the time capable of stepping into those particular developments. I literally couldn’t think straight while crowded in the open with 40 other engineers and felt constantly exhausted. Some people just don’t do well in crowds, and management that treats employees like Lego blocks isn’t going to keep any competitive edge it might have.
