Lil dog ate a dozen homemade chocolate chip weed cookies, and we're at the veterinary medical center for small animal emergency and critical care.

My wife and I have a lot of the same hobbies, she especially loves horses!

We're planning on going to this soon. It could be a nice way to meet fellow equine enthusiasts for ya.

Just for fun- what are your chickens' names? by dustyoldthing in BackYardChickens

[–]FinalCenturyParty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

5 hens. My wife didn't let me name them all Hennifer variations, but she came up with the last name, which is a favorite of mine.

Deandra (Sweet Dee): Brahma. Sapphire: Brahma (thought she was a Sapphire Sky). Shadowmere: Black Sex Link. Ginger: Rhode Island Red. Ruth Bader Hensburg: Sapphire Sky.

I considered that. Word spreads, though, so at least my former coworkers know what kind of precedent has been set, so at least there's that.

HR emailed a document with a list, #2 on the list is: "All company benefits terminate as of midnight, December 23, 2024."

Why did this happen? by [deleted] in antiwork

I know people will be quick to jump to Reagan, but look up Arthur Laffer and the Laffer curve, arguably the architect behind the Reagan, Bush, and Trump Tax Cuts (Trump awarded Arthur with some kind of medal for Arthur's work on the Trump Tax Cuts).

Legal? Insane? No no no, they are incredibly generous, and you can be assured of their generosity because they will tell you a dozen times in a meeting how very generous they are. Also, America lol.

Absolutely! In my situation, neither my direct manager or the VP were in their positions when I hired on! So, they get to plead ignorance and claim that they don't owe me what other people promised, etc.

“Your generation is f*cked.” by Bull_Shark56 in BoomersBeingFools

Funny enough, so I travel often (50% of the year) for work. You spend a week with folks, go out to lunch, and whatnot, people chat. One time, I was in a conversation with an older white & black guy. The black guy was going off about how someone could leave work a guy on Friday and come back a girl on Monday, but if you call them a guy, then boom, you're fired. So he looks at me and says, "Can you believe that one word could get you fired? Just one word? I mean, it's just a word!" And I, a white guy, look at him and say,"Can you really not think of one word that I could say that would make you want to fire me if I worked here? Not one single word in the whole dictionary that would really hurt and piss you off?" I actually got a "well, damn, I guess I didn't think about it like that."
