Absolute garbage weather. I am out! Fuck this place.
The amount of sick people everywhere, be at swim meets, practices, school or work it makes me feel we are in middle of winter rather than summer. How can everyone be falling so sick all the time (that includes me too!)? Also, where the fuck is summer? It was a high of 59 yesterday and its gonna be in 60s this week. The outdoor pools literally open on Monday!
I can’t believe that it’s been two years to this May that my company started the whole RTO nonsense – first 3 days week at a location, then it became 5 days a week, now it’s becoming 5 days a week at a specific location closest to your manager etc etc. At what point are they going to start timing us like hourly employees and ding us if we stay less than X minutes is anyone’s guess. It has to be coming! Nonetheless I have already made up my mind that once the economy and market gets slightly better I will start looking for hybrid roles. I am not against RTO at all, but also I did 2 day RTO in 2016-2020 and I am not seeing a reason why I need to do 5D RTO now.
We have been told to WFH next two days due to moves within building and I slept so well last night knowing I didn’t have to wake up and start running around immediately getting ready to go to work location. Instead I took my time to have my chai and khakra and I will take a bit more time to chill before starting work. Whoever thought RTO was ever a good idea must be a fucking sadist.
My kid takes our dog out for walk daily; we live in a white neighborhood (with little diversity) with a mix of old army families and new young families. I have to say these days I’ve been thinking if letting her walk the dog is a good idea or not because of all the immigration and ICE raids happening. These motherfuckers don’t care if you are citizen or not, they just look at color of person – and I honestly don’t trust any majority of old white boomers in our community (they may very well be very nice people)! I’ve been toying with thought of taking over walk, but I also don’t want her scared in her own country. Its just unbelievable we even have to feel like this. All those who voted for this BS, this is all on you.
RIP. He did a TON of good shit for Northern Virginia, and particularly my district that he represented. Fuck cancer.
Congressman Gerald E. Connolly passes away at 75 after cancer battle, family confirms
Reasonably sure that year is 3000AD and humanity has almost been wiped off earth due to nuclear wars, but the 100th season of The Handmaid’s Tale is going to drop on Hulu with June spearheading the “final” rebellion at least for the 90th time.
Cousin Sis left back for Canada today. It was great having her at our place and we actually saw each other after 10 years. Last time we met was at my brother’s wedding and at that time she was just about to start college. 10 years hence she’s grown into a mature twenty something, probably way more mature for her age thanks to the daily struggle. Canada has been a disappointment for her but she is stuck there grueling it out so she can pay off her loans and think of next steps. Everything you hear about young people struggling (especially in Canada) is so real when we talk to her. She desperately needed this break to reset herself and I am glad it worked out with her schedule and us. I wish she had never left India ugh! It really hurts me to see her struggle like this.
I don’t know why it is scandalous to demand why Biden’s doctor may have missed the cancer diagnosis 6 months back before election. It’s ok to to disclose how body works to a largely uneducated public and tell them how it was missed. Not saying anything is basically playing into right wing conspiracy. Dems will never learn.
This is an absolutely magnificent building. Hate the trash inside.
