June 25 Old Fakebook Stuff

 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.

Today wasn't really any better

 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...

Just a thought here...

 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...

I'm so angry right now...

 My sort-of direct boss at work (because we're supposed to have TWO leads in there and only have one, so John has to do EVERYTHING himself) told me yesterday that he found out that we are working at least two - TWO!! - more Fridays. The one after Labor Day and the Friday after that. WTF? Supposedly, it's because the chickens are "staying too long on the farms." And this is our fault how, those on the line? WE didn't ask for four ten-hour shifts. We asked for LESS OVERTIME to be able to spend more time with our families. We did NOT ask for a change in schedules. We liked what we had. We rarely worked a weekend then, and if we did, it was generally not a kill day. It would be for something like the patty and nugget lines to play a bit of catch up, and would be generally half a day, so nobody really minded too much. Plus, depending on how many people showed up, half of them could easily get offered to go home without a point, and still get four hours pay (mandatory b...
