They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

Just finished #SunriseOnTheReaping. I don’t know when I’ll be okay again.

I know I’m 15 years late, but I started watching The Walking Dead today.
Is it worth it to keep going?

DOD has been lifted from the hiring freeze and I am in real need of a perm position. Willing to move anywhere right now. Shouting into the void to see if anyone sends leads.

I’ve cleaned my house, lit all my candles, and took care of all my plants today for Imbolc. Tomorrow we’ll bake and sit around reading while hopefully just enjoying the sun.
Welcome the returning light.

#ForkInTheRoad Considerations:

- The gov’t is only funded through March 14, 2025.

- Meaning, potentially, March 15 = no funds for follow through

- Deferred resignation could mean you then do not qualify for unemployment.

- PLEASE TALK TO YOUR UNION AND A LAWYER.
Must read for USG employees who received "fork in the road" email:

Why #Trump admin's "deferred resignation" offer for #federal employees is legally dubious.

Beware the "Deferred Resignation" Offer: A Legally Dubious Proposal for Federal Employees

For all federal employees:

Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs.

If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

I told a COL today that “a big ol rank comes with big ol’ responsibilities” and now I have a meeting with my supervisor because I hurt his very fragile ego I guess 🙃

Maybe print them as stickers and put them on egg cartons and gas pumps for the next three months?

I finished Wicked, Dark Fae, Savage Fae, and Priest for January. Currently working through Mistborn, Fourth Wing, and Vicious Fae. Slow start on the Cosmere but I will read it all this year 😬 #booksky #reads #DOB

At this point, I hope their God is real and he really fucks them down after what they’re doing.

I know there’s a lot happening right now that is really truly terrible, but this hiring freeze is really fucking with my life 🤬

It’s my first day back at work after having the flu for a week. The two people in the office I loved seeing are gone and I have to train a new guy. Send me love.

Day three of the whole house with flu. Haven’t read a single page of any book. But we did watch an entire season of x files, an entire season of project runway, and 2 hunger games movies 🙃
