Bits and pieces of my life in my mid-50s and beyond. Stuff I like off Fakebook because they think a joke comment is "against community standards" and I'm against being censored.

So here's old Fakebook stuff from the last 12 years or so.
Yes, I know my sense of humor is often highly inappropriate. No, I don't care.
But work-wise, COVID changed so much for the world as far as how we work. For two years, work was done remotely as much as possible. Now there are several ways to work - full time in office, mixed (part time in the office and part time remote), and fully remote. Employers have learned that remote work still gets done and often much better and faster than in-house. With less distractions, work can be done more easily. Which made me think just now, with so many companies going full remote on everything they can, which saved boatloads of money on expensive leases for office space, a lot of this office space is going to go to waste. What need for skyscrapers and fancy, expensive offices other than to prove that the men in charge of leading these companies have a need to compensate for a lack of something elsewhere? Which also made me think, I've had a few good sites for remote work bookmarked for ages and done nothing with them. As I'm still employed but seriously looking for empl...
As I'm no longer a "top dasher," making any money today was almost a bust. $24...woohoo. I need to try up in Green Forest, where the plant is, tomorrow and see how that does me. No midrange restaurants there, just a diner that closes early, a gas station with a bunch of food type things (chicken, tacos, etc.), and a small handful of low-midrange restaurants. I can give it a whirl for a few hours and see what happens. Worst that happens is the nothing I'm doing now and I come back to home base to make SOMETHING. On the other hand, come Saturday, I start a new 3/4 time job at a local gas station. It's pretty regular and will at least keep the rent paid and the credit cards paid that all the bills are going on right now. Going to be a bit tight for a while till I can get back to top dasher status, which will be hard with only two days a week off anymore, and working till close every night. By the time the gas station closes, all the restaurants are done too, except...
Weird starts with I like my job but I'm looking for something else. Seriously hunting for a different job. My supervisor is a toxic jerkwad and his boss thinks me asking him to speak to jerkwad about his behavior is funny. So it's hang on to the Just Over Broke until I find something else, maybe two of them, and then bail. I like the money and bennies, but I'll work my butt off on overtime if I have to just to make enough to pay the bills. I'm not staying where I'm not treated with dignity and respect. I have been putting out apps and have an interview Monday at 1pm. Means a bit short sleep for the plant if I don't get an immediate job offer/start date, but I'll manage somehow. Because the plant honestly has me in tears a lot and my mental health is at stake. I cannot deal with it much longer and stay sane. Not a lot of places that will hire someone in their 50s so I'm a bit limited there, but something will come along eventually. If not this thing Monda...
