Mood today...

[I hope everyone is doing well! I'm on week three of transitioning from nights to days, so I am all over the place mentally, so I will probably just sit down and shut up for a while still, lol...]

So sleepy...

...and it's not that I'm a major criminal, to be clear!

I've just had several name changes over the last 4 decades, and I'm not so good at holding on to legal documents, lol...

First week of work at the new job...completed!

So far so good...

I'm almost like an actual citizen!

I have legal ID for the first time in a decade.

Health/dental/vision insurance will be kicking in shortly, and I haven't had that for over six years, and I am finally LEGALLY on a joint bank account w/my wife.

It's like a dream come true.

[or, more realistically, much LESS OF A FRICKIN' NIGHTMARE.]

Spoke to my new manager today, and all of my various background investigations and verifications are complete.

I start my new full-time job on Monday!

This is going to take an adjustment though... I'm used to working weekends as well as 2nd and 3rd shifts.

This will be my first 8 am to 4 pm job in over 25 years!

A big part of the problem is how these clowns see themselves. They all think they are "mavericks" for some reason, instead of being part of an elected group of officials sent to legislate on behalf of the people.

When do WE get OUR "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?" moment in this era?

A real one though, NOT just a manufactured soundbite...

@Alfred never responds to me, why is that?

@Alfred Where is this photo located?

I think Alfred just hates me, lol...

@Alfred can you geolocate this photo?

A long time ago, when it was a different world and I was a very different person, I was a Republican.

It's difficult for me to equate the party today with what it once claimed to be.

We should call them what they are, they are NOT "Republicans."

They are Obstructionists. Plain and simple.

A really good way to get blocked quickly by me is to discuss how much you support the billionaire class and the Reagan administration's "trickle-down economics" theory.

Lol...

They were predicting a hell of a winter storm here in the Albany NY area.
They kept pushing back the time for the snow until I woke up this morning to find it would not be snowing here until THURSDAY, and that's only a maybe.

It's only snowed a significant amount twice this year, and we have not fallen below 0 F degrees.

Lyme disease numbers are going to be off the hook this summer.
[we need at least 7-8 days of subzero weather a year in this area to kill off enough ticks to lessen this.]

Not sure if I've posted this one before, but...

I've told both of my children, that if anything happens to me, this song will be their father from now on.

I was still impressed by Jason Murray, despite what armchair quarterbacks are saying after the fact.

He went in bravely with a well-intentioned, honest, yet ultimately, losing argument in front of a stacked court.

Much respect.

The writing is on the wall with this one...
