Small defense subcontractor needs research physiologist to do stuff on hypoxia training & VP is asking me if I've found work.
Okay, so first of all: I wasn't looking & the idea of going back to work is stressing me or maybe this is excitement, idk
But also: I'm 54. Shouldn't I be working still?

I'm retired and I'm still mad about this dudebro. But also, when I'm mad, I really am a badass.
When I have an employee with a disability that impacts major life functions and who is protected under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and as amended in 2008

A thing I learned today:
The dish Chicken à la Maryland was on the menu of the Titanic the day it struck the iceberg.
Also, when talking about chicken, or birds, the cut of meat inclusive of drumstick and thigh is referred to as “a Maryland.”

The two other (upstairs) trees. One’s in the office loft, the other in the second master bedroom.

Early iterations of the Schedule F made the case that language in statute allowed the removal of civil service protections to senior officials.
Revised version leans into unitary executive theory: the civil service statute is unconstitutional. They are betting SCOTUS will go along.
