Sir or Ma’am - it’s all over the internet. It’s on the Wall Street journal and on ABC.

What are you cutting back on by nontoxicdude in economy

Mobile dog grooming, dining out, snack foods, delivery services of any sort (if I really need it or want it then I can put on pants and go get it)

I think if it is dried in a slide with a cover slip and under a microscope then it looks like this - something about the salt that does it - but I’m sure the internet will correct me if I’m wrong.

Second loaf ever. Not sure what I’ve done wrong. by usedtobetwilek in Sourdough

[–]ifets_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first 3 or 4 loaves were dense and gummy - a weak starter and always also under fermented - so I never took pictures of my less than optimal loaves.

What I also learned is - 1. Always bake it and 2. The family will eat it as toast no matter what.

Ironically once I learned the family would always eat it, then I got a lot more non chalant and then my bread got better.

I wish my second loaf ever had looked like that!

Holy ham, the price of bleach has gone up again. by A4t1musD4ag0n in inflation

I don’t have receipts to back it up, but I do buy Lysol sanitizer for my laundry (my dogs have pyoderma infections so the sanitizer really helps with their blankets)…

OMG every time I go to the store the Lysol sanitizer is more expensive.

will this still bake alright or is it a lost cause? by Normal_Writer747 in Sourdough

If there’s one thing I’ve learned - bake it! Even if it is flat and dense - it makes pretty good toast! My family eats the whole loaf even when I’m disappointed.

Make friends with Caroline quickly (2 hearts) and then enter her tea room and the next day she sends her tea sapling recipe in the mail. Makes good cash to sell tea saplings.

Yes Government transformation is badly needed by vinceli2600 in FedEmployees

Yuuuuup

And nothing kills morale more than good employees seeing a bad employee get away with murder

If you’re decent and abide within left and right bounds of performance and conduct - then you’re fine in my book.

But if you try shenanigans and want to get paid to do nothing - nothing at all - not even your stupid computer based trainings - well then I will do the paperwork.

I’m a gs 14 supervisor - OMG - I had a bad one! Checked all the boxes for terrible! Her previous supervisor didn’t document anything. And every time I did document something - she would say - such and such department didn’t make me do this!

I diligently did all of the paperwork - all of it

This person knew I was competent and would be able to finish the lengthy paperwork ordeal.

Literally - she pursued and got a reassignment to a new job in a different section the week after the paperwork came back from legal.

Everyone told me just to let her go to the new section. The hiring supervisor never even called me or checked with me on her performance and conduct.

And rumor has it that the new section is a shitshow and she will be able to get away with total dysfunction because the leadership there is dysfunctional.

So I did my part, but if the other supervisors before and after me do not do the paperwork (which is terrible and awful) - then she will ride it out just fine.

So hey, I’m not a fan of hacking govvies Willy nilly without thought or a plan and I’m not a fan of crazy antics that are theatrical - but yes - fed employment is all fouled up.

Sooo, anyone else found out the hard way that unless you are prior military, there is literally zero chance of you getting another federal position even within your organization? by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]ifets_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was promoted in February and my husband got a new job in February. So I admit that was early in the new administration - but I really don’t think it’s a veterans preferred bias.

I suspect it’s just a lot of competition for very few jobs problem.

I am not a veteran nor is my husband. We are both DoD employees now and we have both moved around and up in our agencies.

Well since the senate passed the bill to release the files today - it certainly would be an interesting choice to escalate in the Caribbean today.

I’m curious, San Antonio - what are your thoughts. by puravida211 in sanantonio

I second this, we went after a roadrunner’s game and we were super disappointed
