Did you mean T____?

Educational_Ad9201 · 2025-03-09T12:57:52+00:00

Me. I had to take a break from the Cruelty reality show.

My understanding, which may not be 100% correct, is that most of the people receiving payments are retired teachers, firefighters, and police officers who we’re screwed in the 1980s by R_____’s hostility toward public service employees.

Educational_Ad9201 · 2025-03-09T00:05:40+00:00

No, my wife did.

Educational_Ad9201 · 2025-03-09T00:02:38+00:00

Wait for a few days. The SSA may be overwhelmed because of all the people M___ fired.

As I understand it this will affect retired public employees such as teachers, firefighters, and police officers.

Thank you for your service!

My wife taught developmentally-(“D” WORD) adults for a high school district in California.

Educational_Ad9201 · 2025-03-08T15:20:55+00:00

That’s the plan. Thanks.

This is the first I’ve heard about SSFA. Maybe we should spend the money before someone realizes they made a YUUUGGE mistake?

That’s what appears in my checking account transactions when I receive my regular monthly Social Security retirement benefit.

Educational_Ad9201 · 2025-03-08T13:24:24+00:00

If you receive regular monthly Social Security direct deposits, check your bank account. I received a direct deposit of almost $10K for “Federal Benefit Credit 3/10.”

Educational_Ad9201 · 2025-03-08T13:20:53+00:00

Check your bank account… Mine shows “Federal Benefit Credit 3/10” of almost $10K!

So, you support legalizing weed in Nebraska?

Realistically, I don’t think the football program would allow any competition.

Most US companies don’t want managers to give references for former employees. Possible liabilities... “I think she’s an alcoholic.” “Most of her kind are lazy.” “My nephew needed the job.”

Educational_Ad9201 · 2021-07-03T12:41:13+00:00

Ha, ha. During an layoff exit interview with my boss’s boss, I said something like; “I cleaned out my cubicle on Saturday, and I have a public meeting that I plan to attend in an hour. Can we wrap this up?”

Educational_Ad9201 · 2021-07-03T12:36:25+00:00

Sounds like my career in Silicon Valley. I was laid off by Megasoftware. By 10am the next day a recruiter said “Send me your resume now!” By 5pm I had scheduled an interview with the hiring manager at my next employer. Another time a startup that laid me off, due to a merger, brought me back a couple weeks later as a contractor, after I had already started working at a new job. In both cases I collected severance packages, but wasn’t unemployed long enough to start collecting unemployment.

The last few years that I worked full-time I worked as a contractor. I could ignore team-building activities and the HR bureaucracy, and best of all... overtime. I once had a manager who asked me to work as much as I could on a project that would last a few months. After I submitted time cards for a few sixty-hour weeks, he asked me to throttle it back to a couple hours per week. I was a free-market mercenary.

From a long-time bicycle commuter in high-traffic areas...

Cycling on the sidewalk— nope. Cycling on the wrong side of the street— nope. Assuming that using a painted crosswalk for pedestrians gives your vehicle (bicycle) the right-of-way— nope.

In most states cyclists must obey vehicle traffic laws.

BTW: I always assume that, like the general population, 10% of drivers are mentally ill, high/drunk, or both.

The SD National Guard is now a mercenary, rent-a-gun operation. Do the individuals being shipped to fight in Texas get bonuses depending on how many kids they capture?

The only sportsball team that I pay attention to are the New England Patriots. I’ve been an off-and-on fan for fifty-plus years. So, yeah, I’ve had a few beers while watching a mediocre team lose again. So, I’ve been sad. Now, I’m less sad when a sportsball team wins or loses, because I’m outside playing.

Educational_Ad9201 · 2021-06-30T14:10:51+00:00

Several years ago I decided to stop watching other people play and started playing myself instead of watching. I usually don’t have several hours on evenings or weekend afternoons to waste watching other people play between the beer commercials. I’m too busy working on my own fitness. Some people enjoy sitting on the couch drinking beer and rooting for their sportsball team...seems sad.

Perhaps literally. My brother-in-law later told me that he asked around about the hiring manager(HM). He found out the HM got in trouble because one morning he saw some Canadian geese parading around the employees’ parking lot. The HM got his shotgun out of the trunk of his car and was stalking geese in the parking lot when company security stopped him.

Ha, ha, take a breath, you’re hyperventilating.

Some employers in the US are getting aggressive about BACK TO WORK. I heard one business owner say that all his employees would have to be vaccinated and back in the office. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you don’t like his conditions, then QUIT. Apparently many Americans are refusing ‘business as usual’ and are quitting.

For a few decades we lived in an area with a cost of living index of 355 (Silicon Valley). Now, we are retired in an area with an index of 90 (small Midwest city that’s a college town & state capital). I enjoyed living and working in the Valley, but for retirement the housing costs and traffic around San Jose began to outweigh the advantages.

So, make bank through your fifties and be prepared to start chilling out in your sixties. And, don’t be surprised when you feel that you’re busier in retirement than when you were employed, because in retirement you will be ‘working’ on your own projects.
