I was in a stupid conversation with a trumpkin last night. Stupid because I tried to talk to a trumpkin.
But I learned how this particular trumpkin justified trumps remarks. He sees the NFL as a "national" organization, not a private business. He thinks the president has hiring and firing power over the business.
He said if they don't want trump to have authority, they should remove national from their name.
My head truly hurt after that conversation.
Stuck working retail because I would be under employed in my area of expertise
Hiring managers and head hunters all are impressed when the see my resume but then tell me that I would be under employed in any open position.
Now I a forced to take a retail job which is really under employed.
It verified my position, the retail people worked much harder for much less than their employers.
Post Irma recollection - please add yours
So much of the Southeast US and the Caribbean experienced Hurricane Irma in some form or another. This is my thoughts following the storm.
Here in Hilton Head area, we faired reasonably well, there was some flooding and a little wind damage any power outages were minimal. I made it out to the beach today for a look, there is a giant navigation buoy washed up on the beach. It is a new beach attraction. The area evacuated while only the island areas were mandatory. This area was originally for cast as possible landfall. Yes we dodged a bullet at the cost of Florida.
So as thing started to move back to normal I realized that as we were experiencing these things, our lives were focused on the storm, the evacuation, getting back and the damage, the rest of the world still moved forward. They were not putting their lives on hold. It was an email I missed as we prepared for evacuation and the subsequent reminder that woke me up, the world is still there.
In all I can't stop thinking how lucky we were and how sad I am for everyone who lost so much, some my friends.
Life moves on!
