May was a very terrible month.  Got laid off, came down with a bad infection (still fighting it) and had my phone stolen 😕

This June gloom needs to go away so I can spend some time at the beach ☀️

My company went Twitter and laid off my entire team, including management.  We don't think they thought it through all the way though, our product generates millions of dollars in revenue per year.  The application itself seems displeased, the very next day it had a support page go out, and everyone who would normally answer it was gone.  So it went to the guy who'd made the decision to lay off everyone under him related to this product, interrupting his holiday vacation.  We knew we'd added some self-healing routines into one of our applications, but I hadn't realized we'd taught this one karma as well.

 

Could be worse though, one of the affected people is close enough to retirement that it likely amounts to starting retirement early, and I've already been actively exploring outside roles (got another interview lined up next week), and can connect affected people with recruiters.  Wouldn't be surprised if a year from now, we're all in better shape and the company's in worse shape.

The Heroes and Righteous of the world will always be punished for doing the right thing. Here's another random example of exactly that: Stockton police investigating 7-Eleven workers in viral beatdown and Investigation underway regarding the now-viral video of clerks beating would-be robber

 

Caught on live video beating the stuffing out of a would-be robber that deserved worse, now facing bogus assault charges instead of reward and recognition due to corrupt leadership that deliberately chooses to never do the right thing.

 

Same scenario that played out on the opposite coast last year. No good deed goes unpunished.

In 2022 I came out as trans and since have sorted my own personal health out (lost 36KG in weight or 79 pounds) and have been taking on new challenges at work where I can. Well ever since I came out it seems that upper management decided to silently fire me, my direct boss can delegate things to me but anything larger in scope I get blocked out of.

 

However I have interviewed at a new place and am expecting my offer soon, it's the first time I did that as me and it went really well. Will move into more project delivery work and potentially some pre-sales stuff as well.

Congrats on your accomplishments and goals!

 

I've been in a bad place mentally and have begun thinking its due to my work environment. In hindsight of course it is, in the moment it was easy to conclude that I dont measure up. I have been trying to hold out for the appropriate time but that is proving more difficult as time progresses.

Tripped over a board in the yard last week. Hurt lower back. It's still bothering me today.  Note to you younger ones...don't ever fall down when you get older. I 'm 87 and you all have seen those commercials that show a old person falling down and yelling.."I've fallen down and can't get up".  Well I got up after the fall but the next day I was laid up and couldn't get out of bed for two days.

I hope that both of you get back to feeling good again. Seaonal allergies are bothering me right now, but compared to what is bothering both of you that is hardly worth mentioning.

A lot of things lately. Health being one of them but I'm absolutely one hundred percent hell bent on fixing that. Just the matter of software that's using atrocious internet activation and if that service to activate retires you have no access to it even if you have paid for it. So I can't actually use it anymore. It's effectively dead after what 10 years?

 

I only caught wind of a company acquiring another, namely the software company I fled to from subscription hell just a day after trying to get the one software to activate so I can use something I paid for in full.

 

Now I'm trying to get into the photography stuff again, since December last year. Motivation is still lacking but it's like trying to start an engine that's been sitting in a flooded shed. All this sounds first world but I think that is life. Since departing from other sites I've settled elsewhere that's surprisingly helpful as I continue that path for potentially passive income.

 

So I hope nothing else just rips one in my face as the weeks go by.

one of the contenders running for president in mexico said that when she is elected president she will allow boys to wear skirts and girls to wear pants if they want in school.. in mexico girls uses skirts and boys pants they use uniforms for school..

 

what he said about shildren are true. they all want to be like someone like boys like their father and girls like their mothers. what happens when they adopt a child and have 2 females.?? or viceversa. 

 

it seems they are trying to make this a normal thing 

a child shouldnt know about sexual preferences until they are able to retinoate at a certain age.

 

its is a very delicate discussion. as i have respect for their lives and decissions but not for what they are trying to ask children that arent capable of retinoate or arent mature enough...

They should have the space to decide for themselves in a safe environment without pressure. Things like testing out pronouns/names/clothes are all easily reversable things to try.

Also sexual preferences are different to gender preferences and we do tend to re-enforce these pretty early.
