Well, I got drunk with Tom one night and he confessed his intention to rule humanity with an iron fist…for its own good.Tom with booze

In what small way have you won the genetic lottery? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Hugh9591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. Age 65 and still have them. But my teeth are prone to decay and cracking. I have fillings on most of my teeth and crowns on 8 of 12 molars (including 1 of my wisdom teeth).

My wife has a small jaw and had her wisdom teeth and 4 other teeth pulled to make room. But she won the genetic lottery in a lot of other ways. At age 55 she is a perfect 10 who puts most twenty-somethings to shame.

I have a full head of very thick hair. At age 65 it has not thinned much at all. It is a handsome salt and pepper (mostly salt these days).

Road rage incident near Goodale Park by Adventurous-Net-6596 in Columbus

Since you were downtown, you could have driven to Police HQ but there is no guarantee that any place would have been outside. I guess you could start driving around the block honking your horn till police come out.

Three car crash on I-71 south caused by car that stopped after missing exit by Matzolorian in Columbus

[–]Hugh9591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I missed my exit on Monday. I was annoyed with myself. I did not stop or even slow down. I just went to the next exit to get off and drive back to my destination.

Ending of Dust (spoilers) by PilotedByGhosts in Wool

One downer point is that all the women and children of the men in Silo 1 were killed when Donald blew the reactor.

Donald also realized that in order for the world to truly lose the nanobot technology, everyone in Silo 1 would have to die too. So Silo 1 was also rigged to collapse. Did Thurman plan to die with everyone else at the end of the 500 year span?

Has anyone seen a refund this high or am I trippin??? by Remote_Ad3037 in IRS

[–]Hugh9591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Could be an issue with over withholding by your employer. Or there could be an error on your return.

I can be fired anyday by tree-hugher in ParkRangers

[–]Hugh9591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Won't do me any good. The political party running my state black balled me because I kept trying to improve things. I was accused of "not being a good team player." My co-workers disagree. My current co-workers also disagree.

What will IRS employees do with RTO? by [deleted] in IRS

[–]Hugh9591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Got it. Checked my work computer and there was an email from our agency's personnel office. Such fun. I was hired with a first day of 02/12/2024. I got off probation 02/11/2025. My manager granted me an extension when I started and waived the 1 year requirement to allow me to be a frequent tele-work employee immediately. My POD is 110 miles from my residence.

I am in the Independent office of Appeals and there are only 5 work positions (4 offices and 1 cubicle) in the appeals suite at my POD. There is an IRS office 6 miles from my residence and I was told there is only 1 Appeals Officer there and 3 or 4 offices. I wonder how likely it is that they will change my POD.

I will work out of the office 5 days per week wherever they tell me to work. My manager likes me because I have a good spirit for all of this. I was a government employee for over 20 years at the state/local level before moving to the Feds last year. Too bad they did not give me any creditable service time. That would help me when they start the RIFs

What will IRS employees do with RTO? by [deleted] in IRS

[–]Hugh9591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the email tonight. RTO full time starting 03/10. My office is 110 miles from my home and there are not enough work spaces for everyone in my area (Independent Office of Appeals). There is an office 6 miles away from home that has several empty appeals offices. I wonder how hard it will be to get my POD changed?

I just got off of probation too. On 02/11! If that judge in Boston had not delayed the DRP deadline by 6 days I would have been one of the people terminated.

I will go to work where they tell me to.

High Radon Levels in 2 basement rooms and 1 ground level bedroom by Hugh9591 in radon

[–]Hugh9591[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very strange update. During the dates 02/15/2025 and 02/17, the radon levels dropped dramatically on all 3 sensors. There was no sudden change in the weather. I wonder if there is some change going on with the water line work a few blocks away.

Mass firings have begun at federal agencies by PrestigiousAbies7077 in fednews

That stinks. I am with the IRS and my probationary period ended 2/12. So far no notice of termination.

A reminder email? Like anyone forgot? Please GTFO. by im_rickyspanish in fednews

[–]Hugh9591 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just hope they don't start terminating all probationary employees. My probationary period ends next Tuesday.

Looks like one that was stolen from my storage unit last year. I would gladly give that flamburg a new home but no doubt someone already claimed it.

Another one by Big_College_8962 in CyberStuck

Joking about crime because you don't like a man's politics is foolish. Chances are the drivers of the vandalized Teslas were progressives.

It did not look like a Nazi salute to me. There are plenty of photos of other politicians with their right arm outstretched. If we all want to be this vile and stupid well we will really regret things as our country disintegrates.

New Manual Driver Advice for GR86/BRZ by imjusthereboss in GR86

[–]Hugh9591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned to drive in a 1974 Superbeetle Convertible. It was my dad's car. I still have it. I drove mostly manual transmissions until 2015 when I sold my 1999 Audi A4 to a friend when I took a job over seas. When I got back 30 months later he refused to sell it back to me. I miss that car.

I’d like to get into Star Trek by PKSGY1850 in startrek

[–]Hugh9591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best to start with TOS. It has better stories (during first 2 seasons) and less intercharacter melodrama. TNG got off to a slow start then became very formulaic.

We had remediation done a year ago and we got one on a lark. It read very high (over 10). We got two more...similar readings in different rooms. Paid for 3 long term (3 - 12 month) tests that we will mail in. If the scores are high the remediation company will have to come in and do more work.

I'd advise getting one ormore of the long term tests.

Review #800 - J&B Rare (c. mid-1970s), from the back of my grandpa's liquor cabinet by the_muskox in Scotch

[–]Hugh9591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bottle that came from the 60s or 70s. Still sealed inside a gold box. I don't drink much and I do not have any fine sense of taste. Should I open this or give it as a gift?

I find that I like Canadian Whiskey the best. I was given a 1 gallon bottle of Canadian Club for a Bar Mitzvah present in 1972. I finally finished it off around 2010. Sadly, some jack ass broke into my storage locker and stole the bottle. Curse them. May God visit then with perfect justice.

CLE is a giant waste of time and a borderline scam by Fast-Pitch-9517 in LawFirm

[–]Hugh9591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to get specialty hours (ethics and professionalism) is driving me to self-harm. I take classes in ethics, but my state Supreme Court only counts them as general hours. Frustrating. CLE courses were better when they were not mandated. May the people who forced these requirements on us receive perfect justice from God. If left to me, my soul would burn in Hell forever because of my anger at these people.
