I headed upstairs before sunrise
The hallway light was off
We have lights on the steps of the stairs.

A friend in my bookclub decided to try the audiobook version for once. I usually opt for audiobooks. She found it annoying because it included the audio narrator saying the words "she said" and "he said" after a sentence and how could I stand it?
I asked her if she reads that part in printed books

Wow. The man who never heard anything when a woman spoke (out of a department that was 80% women) just Peter Prinicple'd his way to SENIOR vice president.
I saw the announcement right after I got done applying for unemployment benefits.

I REALLY like this @anildash.com piece on 'unalive' and algospeak in general, particularly the exploration of the implications for a generation of people growing up steeped in it.

Just saw a bumpersticker that said "Deport Musk
Make Tesla Great Again"
It was on a cybertruck.

I think it's a generic box for anything and probably should be read in an excited voice. "Hooray, your package is here!" However, when it's here because I have to return my laptop after being laid off, I hear it in a gruff voice of a command.

Ok, so maybe Good Fortune wasn't the best movie option to forget about today being my last day at work. It was cute though

Watched a football game today (Oregon Ducks) where where the opposing team purposely injured their star. Then watched a rugby league game (Penrith Panthers) where the opposing team went after their star & broke his leg.
Guys, I think sports might be dangerous

Had our last team meeting today. I thought maybe they would say something nice or at least a goodbye to the 3 of us being laid off. We trained most of this team.
But nothing. I don't know if they're saving it up for something else or if they're doing a "sweep it under the rug" move.

I had one young manager say something about my "exit interview."
No, people getting laid off don't get one. Can you imagine?
"So now that we've suddenly fired you because we don't like the law in your state that makes sure you have a liveable wage, what do you think of us & your time here?"

People at work, like lower management, keep wanting to do nice "good-bye" things for us few being laid off. Things we normally do for people leaving the company. I keep having to point out: others who left were leaving for a new job. We're just being fired. Not exactly a fond farewell.

Also worth noting that like, three people requesting something at a library will get a library to buy it. And it doesn't take many holds to make it "we should buy more copies."

Being around World Cup fans in a host city taught me how to be a gracious to those who root for the other team.
But that does not include the Patriots.
SEAHAWKS WIN AGAIN!
Suck it, Pats!

I thought I was laid off because I had been there for over 10 years. Finding out who else is getting the ax, it looks like anyone in WA who worked for them for over 5 years.
I was just told I have one month left with the company I work for. The reason I'm being laid off is that they can't afford what Washington state requires for pay. It has nothing to do with my performance.
I'm salary & have been there 15 yrs. Not sure how WA laws for minimum wage play into that

One thing both Cubs and Mariners fans agreed upon: Bregman sux!
He got boo'd by everyone every time

I went to the Mariners/Cubs game today.
They lost 2-19.
This isn't isn't their worse loss THIS WEEK!
The Cubs fans we brought with us started to tease us around the 8th inning.
We've been M's fans for life - do you think you can hurt us? We're used to this!
They lost 2-19.
