I got jacked at work, again.
I put in for a transfer. The only transfer available for the entire last year for any position. I got the feckless and incompetent union to force them to open the transfer, specifically so I could get it. Somehow, they opened it to the entire city, not just the airport. SO I had to compete with dog knows how many people. I wasn’t worried, because I have every possible advantage from working at the only other airport there is. I aced the interview and then it took a whole month to hear back. I wasn’t chosen.
I’m pretty sure management did it so they wouldn’t lose a mechanic at LAX. They’re not allowed to do that. They have to provide me a justification, so they will have to invent a reason. I had a huge issue with my asshole supervisor when I first transferred here. I had to file a complaint and they told him to back off. It’s a long story, but suffice it to say, I should have sued them right then. I’m just not the suing type. All I wanted was to be left alone. That supe gave me two not-so-good evals and I expect that will be the reason given. Which is good, because I gave them notice he was harassing me and now his actions have cost me actual damage. I’m so pissed. He’s the main reason I wanted to transfer and now he’s the reason I can’t. Once a guy starts at Van Nuys, it won’t open again for years.

Sorry for the whining. It’s just coursing through my veins right now.
Our supervisor bitched out somebody today loud enough for everybody on the floor to hear it for coming in the wrong door. We have stupid covid one-way traffic bullshit, and the one door that leads directly to outside (badge access) is technically out only now, although the people who bring in the mail on flatbeds can come in that way after the morning mail pick-up.
Everybody’s scared that the boss is going to have badge access to that door shut off, and since the door we’re supposed to use from the lobby often has the doors to outside locked first thing in the morning, it’s going to be fun when everybody is locked out trying to get into work at the start of shift. Worse, I’m the first one in most days so I’m probably going to be the one first affected by it..
If you must have one-way traffic, make that and the door to the main lobby the ways in, and the other two doors to further inside the building be the out doors.

Gov. Chris Sununu took a baby step closer on Friday to a U.S. Senate run in 2022, telling a radio talk show host he’s “definitely open to it.”
But Sununu, 46, said all options for the election cycle remain on the table, from seeking a fourth term as governor, returning to the private sector or, as he joked, “becoming a hermit.”
“I am open to it; we haven’t completely shut the door. Look, I’ve got kids to put through college. I try not to think about public service as a career; it’s really about how we should be tithing our time,” Sununu said on the Good Morning NH radio show with Jack Heath Friday.

Gov. Chris Sununu announced Thursday he’s ordering the state’s public schools to reopen at least two days a week beginning March 8. It’s a decision likely to thrill thousands of working parents while enraging the state’s teachers unions and their Democratic allies.
”In the next few days, I will be signing an Executive Order requiring that, starting March 8, all K-12 schools must provide the option of in-person learning at least 2 days a week,” Sununu said. “The data is clear. Even without complete teacher vaccination, schools can reopen safely.”
It’s the culmination of a political battle that’s been waging for weeks between Sununu and the NEA-NH, as well as between parents and local schools across the state. Sununu has repeatedly pointed to data indicating classroom transmission of COVID 19 is extremely rare. NEA-NH President Megan Tuttle has insisted classrooms must be closed until all teachers are vaccinated, going so far as to call them “first responders.”

It’s stunning to me that we have a real time example of a state (and not a small rural state like South Dakota) that has opened up almost completely and had the same results. I get so mad about this I can’t sleep some nights, it bothers the hell out of me that more people can’t see it and that it has been allowed to happen for so long.

He’s already starting to call for opening back up. The more serious the recall, the less serious the lockdowns. Now he’s gonna have numbers that demand a reopen and he’s gonna shout from the rooftops, “REOPEN NOW!” it’s all bullshit, but he’ll have cover for it. The election ain’t gonna happen for as long as they can wait, hoping this is all in the rearview mirror. It’s disgusting, but so is almost all of California politics for the last 20 years.

Based on the kind of scrutiny they give Libertarian petitions, the Newsom recallers had better get about 2.5 million signatures. And there will surely be claims of fraud, people signing twice, someone leaving out their middle initial, and all the other kinds of reasons that apparently aren’t valid reasons for presidential elections but peachy keen for recall efforts.

The Duality of my Evangelical Christian Upbringing, Part 1:
I was raised to believe that all Jews were unrepentant heretics and were destined to Hell upon death…I was also raised to believe that Jews were God’s Chosen People and it was my duty to do my part to ensure their existence, including taking up arms.

Nice business ya got there…
Can you fault the poor duty cops who showed up and realized how dry their beaks
…were.
(Posting on a phone is so much fun)
Let me guess – it was off-duty cops that were making the calls for LE in the before years?
Sununu orders schools to open for in-person learning at least two days a week
Gov. Chris Sununu announced Thursday he’s ordering the state’s public schools to reopen at least two days a week beginning March 8. It’s a decision likely to thrill thousands of working parents while enraging the state’s teachers unions and their Democratic allies.
”In the next few days, I will be signing an Executive Order requiring that, starting March 8, all K-12 schools must provide the option of in-person learning at least 2 days a week,” Sununu said. “The data is clear. Even without complete teacher vaccination, schools can reopen safely.”
It’s the culmination of a political battle that’s been waging for weeks between Sununu and the NEA-NH, as well as between parents and local schools across the state. Sununu has repeatedly pointed to data indicating classroom transmission of COVID 19 is extremely rare. NEA-NH President Megan Tuttle has insisted classrooms must be closed until all teachers are vaccinated, going so far as to call them “first responders.”

Heh, heh. It looks like they are now at 1.7 million signatures on the recall for Guv Greaseball. They need just under 1.5 million valid ones, and you can be sure they will be looking over each signature with a fine tooth comb. At this point it looks highly likely there will be a special recall election in a few months. I’m sure we will get another shitheel in there if it happens, but I am looking forward to Gav getting fucking tossed.
🙂
I will refrain from celebrating.
Premature celebrating is bad.
I will refrain from celebrating.
Ha! Thanks for donating DEG. I also won’t count any chickens just yet, but that is a little piece of positive news that they have made it this far, and under the stupid COVID bullshit that has made it way harder to gather signatures. As California goes, so eventually goes other places. I’d love to see the slide temporarily halted here.
I’m glad to help. I donated to all sorts of fundraisers for pushing back on the Lil Rona Panic. I think this one will go somewhere.
I agree – If Newsom gets recalled, shit will change.
Something, something, Scwartzenegger. At least we saw the last of Gray Davis.
I’m thinking of the Lil Rona Panic. Newsom has been a big public face of the Lil Rona Panic. He’s out, and that shit changes.
They’re saying that “cases” are down 77%. One guy from John’s Hopkins is saying the whole thing is likely over by April. I expect the Dems to come up with an excuse to keep up the charade, but it’s gonna be hard with all the good news.
Toss in Cuomo resigning is disgrace – we don’t have recall – and there should be dancing from coast to coast.
Andy won’t go quietly. He is a mean, nasty, bitter, grasping, covetous cur.
Absolutely. It would be a very public shaming of one of the ringleaders of the panic. It would send a message that there are some consequences to that stance.
Please please please take Gov Kunt with the lot.
Worst haiku ever.

Yeah, we ain’t getting any kind of improvement, but that dirtbag Newsome deserves to have his ambitions halted. Imagine him in the senate?
His sights are higher than that.
and haha outmanuevered by Kamala while he gets dumped by the side of the road.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer fella.
In other positive news they just put forth a bill to legalize MDMA, mescaline, and LSD. I’d love to see that pass. Those are all fabulous drugs that have huge potential for good uses.
https://californiaglobe.com/section-2/psychedelic-drugs-such-as-lsd-mescaline-may-be-legalized-in-new-bill/
Looks like the drug war is starting to melt.
That’s just the shrooms talking.
I haven’t heard of any contenders besides John Cox (whom I voted for) and Faulconer yet.
The biggest question is, will the dems hold the line and not allow a blue team contender. If there’s no dem on the ballot, odds are we get a republican. Not really willing to speculate on what they’ll do. They gotta know he’s on the ropes. I suspect we’ll see a dem or three on the ballot. They are way more power hungry than loyal.
One of the things I have seen out there is people thinking this is just about him having been filmed eating in French Laundry. And that this isn’t a reason to recall him. They don’t seem to get the damage that is being done in the name of Covid, and just how fucked so many people are from all this. The people who are WFH and pro-lockdown just don’t get it.
I had also heard him being floated as a prez candidate. This will shoot that out of the water.
That’s what we stand to gain here. Stopping the spread a little bit. Even if we get an “R”, it’ll be another douchebag like Arnie. I need more than a recall to regain hope for this state.
So much this. The man is so transparently aiming at pres it would be to America’s great benefit to nip that shit in the bud.
There are many reasons I want to see him gone, but the lockdowns are número fricking uno. He fucked over so many people (and many people that I do business with) by the lockdowns that didn’t do a damn thing to keep the Vid from spreading. It’s stunning to me that we have a real time example of a state (and not a small rural state like South Dakota) that has opened up almost completely and had the same results. I get so mad about this I can’t sleep some nights, it bothers the hell out of me that more people can’t see it and that it has been allowed to happen for so long.
He’s already starting to call for opening back up. The more serious the recall, the less serious the lockdowns. Now he’s gonna have numbers that demand a reopen and he’s gonna shout from the rooftops, “REOPEN NOW!” it’s all bullshit, but he’ll have cover for it. The election ain’t gonna happen for as long as they can wait, hoping this is all in the rearview mirror. It’s disgusting, but so is almost all of California politics for the last 20 years.
Yup. That is essentially how I view this recall. It’s a giant push on his greasy self to reopen. He is not going to want to face that election when the state is still closed for biz. I don’t hold out much hope for the state of my birth. This place was a fucking paradise and they have almost ruined it completely at this point. Within my lifetime it has gone from a beacon to a shithole.
Preach it brother. Same thing here, just not as far along yet. But it’s not for lack of trying.
The whole west coast was.
#MeToo
People here in Ohio always ask me “If you were born in California, what the hell are you doing here??”
I’m always happy to answer them:
– Owning a house
– Not paying insane taxes
– Not dealing with crime, homelessness, and earthquakes
– Easily finding a parking spot wherever I go
– Not sitting in deadlock traffic for hours a day
Based on the kind of scrutiny they give Libertarian petitions, the Newsom recallers had better get about 2.5 million signatures. And there will surely be claims of fraud, people signing twice, someone leaving out their middle initial, and all the other kinds of reasons that apparently aren’t valid reasons for presidential elections but peachy keen for recall efforts.
The problem with shit-canning Newsom is that his replacement will be someone equally awful. California is a one party state and the options are not job and nutbag.
Abandon hope all ye who enter.

The Duality of my Evangelical Christian Upbringing, Part 1:
I was raised to believe that all Jews were unrepentant heretics and were destined to Hell upon death…I was also raised to believe that Jews were God’s Chosen People and it was my duty to do my part to ensure their existence, including taking up arms.
The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste.
*sips beer*
*hits bowl*
So what?
This is the proper response.
(((I))) think you might be right.
Would you hate me if I said that I stopped believing in both of those things many years ago?
So are the living Jews going to convert on the spot at the second coming, and that’s why they’re worth preserving? Or is it some weird National Treasure logic?
I think their continued existence is considered a prerequisite for the second coming.
I believe you’re correct. Without references to the source material fresh in mind, certain parts of the Apocalypse will not take place until certain members of certain Judean tribes do certain things before and after the Rapture. It’s God’s Will to preserve the Jewish race in order to fulfill his prophecy, so said my elders.
‘So are the living Jews going to convert on the spot at the second coming, and that’s why they’re worth preserving?’
Kinda. My particular sect of Christianity was very big on the whole “Tribulation Saints/End Times” believers being particularly privileged amongst those who reside in Heaven…I think they get a bigger house with more acres or some such shit. The Christian Jews after the Rapture get a whole city block.
*sigh*
That particular interpretation of Christianity is rather annoying. It makes people spend more time worrying about what comes next than what’s going on right now.

The youngest wants to watch Bablyon 5 with me! We just started watching The Gathering. Yeah!
? I was just watching an episode – I’m new to the show. S01E06 -telepath heavy. I have strong feelings about that SF trope. I don’t think such people can possibly fit into a world with just us norms, without, you know, destroying us.
I’m only partially thru the episode because I’m close to passing out for the night but I’m interested to see what they do with it.
Rhywun that is a running theme that is regularly revisited. I think you will appreciate how it is addressed.
Sweet.
Love the show so far. It’s smarter than the average bear. And I like the Tangerine Dream-adjacent music.
And how underrated Chekhov was.
If you can…watch the two movies after season one before you start season two…I felt it fleshed out the season and gives you a peek into season two
I saw a page that lists the “proper” order somewhere. Ah, here it is.

GFYWARCS? These acronyms are getting ridiculous.
The people in that Twitter thread need to be nuked into orbit.
I’m going to need some help with that one.
I’d bet good money the last three words are “rusty chain saw.”
Now do the buck and wing, you adorable pickaninny!
Strangely, I parsed that one out. Maybe because I’ve heard it many times before from my friends, saying it to me.
Music!
