Thank you. I will probably end up applying and if I get an interview try to feel it out. I’ve been focusing on looking for a grade up and/or teleworking job but the rest of this year is going to be bad so I’ve expanded my view. I’m probably being foolish not to take my time and look with the FY starting in another…

The politics say Chobani is the company to support. Interesting he chooses to ignore that fact.

Not really related but I’m thinking of applying for a job at the Army Corps - how happy vs stressed do their employees seem if you feel you can comment. It’s lateral (I’m at the VA) but I reaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllly need a change. 

That's a big hell no.

I once had a supervisor tell me I needed to be nicer (I work in IT). But I was already old and noped out of that nonsense. I asked her if anyone ever said I acted unprofessionally and if they did she should let me know as I would absolutely address that. Then I asked her if she had asked any of my male coworkers to be…

I rarely have a problem arguing my position - even with my parents. But I do feel bad hurting my mother’s feeling because she really is just entirely too nice. But this is no time for nice. 

I called out my mother* the other day when she said she thought Warren was too angry for always finding strong, forceful women angry.

The “family came over after the turn of the 1900s” would probably qualify as the getting over slavery. It’s clearly a...my family didn’t come here until well after the Civil War/never owned slaves so don’t put that shit on me kind of statement. 

Not a bad suggestion but my choice is support Fair Fight 2020 because voter the republicans know they don’t have the number in many cases so they’ll do whatever it takes to stay in power.

Things aren’t looking so optimistic out there, but that’s no reason to start messing with your allocations when you log in to check on your contribution levels.

I once fostered a dog ...for five days. Then decided to keep him. He was a wonderful guy who I got to spend 16 years with.

It’s something trump dreamed up to stroke his ego. He’ll create is own branch of the military. for space. 

I try to avoid his tweets these days but today there were JUST SO MANY that it caught my eye when I was scrolling. It’s so repulsive.

Space Force is a prospective branch of the military that Pence said will, “ensure that our nation is prepared to defend our people, defend our interests, and [...] defend our values in the vast expanse of space and here on Earth.”
