Well G'mornin!
Moving truck unpacked; got it done just before the rain. Once we finish the last leg of our trip in September, I will once again be living in MA.
Bring on fall!

You'd need a big raise for that.

About to leave for Springs. Get to spend the day with the Sherrif's Dept. YEAH!
Yeah, that's probably why it won't happen. But damn, do I miss the Central Coast.
No building crew today...
Rainnnn. Feels like the first day of Fall today.
This I find mildly interesting:

back in the office. derp.
top o the mornin to ya!
Temped with calling it in again today, but figured I can only ignore my email for so long. Might as well come into the office and do something? Have a student starting midway through August, which should help take some of these boring day to day "have you rebooted your computer yet" type problems away from my (and coworkers task list).
For now, I shall peruse through my email, maybe delete some, drink some coffee and take poo #2.
Went to bed at what I'd guess was 9pm last night. Felt fabulous.

I'm hungry
Hoped to ride this morning but lazy coffee ftw. Hectic work day ahead.
Not hot, not humid.

I had a similar night. Snoozed off and on from 7:30-9:30. Then in bed for real at 11, slept until my 6:20 alarm (as I had to be here at 7, working a shifted 7-4 day).b0rk
went to bed at 930, woke up at 230, fell asleep again at 530, up at 715
Morning Monkeys.
In early doing a couple long days so I can ditch Friday. Lil Man is coming with us Thursday and will get picked up Friday nightish. I think it will be good for us all so long as Hank isn't a shit with the barking.
Splint comes off in 2 weeks and I should be able to ride in a month. Holy hell, this sucks.

You know when you need to motivate before doing something you really don't want to? Rocking out in the car motivating for a day of CoSprings starting in 15min. Wish me luck. At least I get to hang out with Shane this evening.
Wait what? I think I missed something. Story?
Okay, moar awake now. Ordered headphone adapter thingies for new phone, having coffee, yelling at the doggo for yelling at the squirrels. Pretty sure ride + tacos is happening this evening. Need to coordinate logisiticals with @6thElement and/or @Nick in the the Bad Judgement PM thread, I guess.
FTFY.
You should report back on how many AOC jokes were cracked, and whether you were invited to join their secret racist FB page...
/half-sarcasm. Quarter?
one of the guy's in my department that's based out of a different state, told me a story how once, at a prior job (back in the 90's), he was working a stint at a manufacturing site down in Georgia. over his duration there he made friends with a few of the guys, and they invited him to a "bbq". he said the directions to it were SUPER vague, but at the time didn't think much of it because it was a fairly rural part of the state. turned out the "bbq" was a Klan rally.
I stopped using mine over a 1.5 years ago and deleted it about 4-5 months ago. It's a good feeling to be rid of it.
I have had one meeting and one "well Social Security will be gone" comment. Well good sir, you will never retire then because you didn't plan for the fact that you will have a negligible amount of income at that point in time. Good job.
i'm not counting on social security either. but i've got a CFP.
Yup. Over a year now, and good riddance to that bullshit.
I don't bank on it, but I'm planning and saving else wise. This is somebody who did no other form of saving and is making commentary about how there will be nothing there. It's like, do 1 and 1 not equal 2 for you?
FAKE MATH!
if/when the Government du Jour call out the end of SS benefits (which surely will happen in my lifetime) us folks who have paid into it for decades and reap zero benefit will all torchy and pitchforky.
They won't do that. They'll raise the retirement age, raise the FICA cap, and maybe cut back payouts 10 or 20%. It'll be a gentle thing. Learn to love the taste of dog food over time.

Wealthiest country in the history of the world:
"What about a safety net for the elderly?": "Nope, can't afford it"
"What about universal health care?": "Nope, can't afford it"
"What about covered college/vocational training?": "Nope, can't afford it"
"What about civilized and comprehensive public transportation?" "Nope, can't afford it"

Give or take 165mm people are actively paying into SS. That's a lot of really pissed off people who have been paying 6.5% of every paycheck.
Or, they can increase the limit to uncapped from $118,500 currently.
