Bulgakov posted:lol In NYC you have to give people 5 days of paid sick leave, but you don't have to have a separate time off pool. So at my old company they charged sick days against your vacation, and then every winter the office was a hellish pool of nasal snorts, coughing, and low level respiratory disease. The CEO refused to allow any other policy though, because he was convinced everyone would just use their sick days as "extra vacation".

it's esp amusing because there are numerous studies that show that unlimited paid sick leave leads to fewer days taken off overall compared to literally any other scheme you'd think these chucklefucks would actually be doing some reading about this stuff but noooope that's not how you ceo

i have an uncle who was in a “CB club” back in the 70s, whatever the gently caress that actually is. he carries a bugout bag now. the really sad part is that he has his son doing it too.

my 78 year old high school chemistry teacher had a ham radio in the classroom. once in a while he would turn it on during class and we would try to talk to people. that was a long time ago and i can still remember his callsign: "this is al, alpha lima. wa8weg whisky alpha eight whiskey echo golf" he also had a jacob's ladder on his desk and occasionally used the transformer for it to shock one particular student when he dozed off

73 is our codified farewell. 88's means "hugs and kisses" and is used a little less frequently today. a lot of hams use 72 now, 'not quite goodbye, we'll talk again'

long ago when i was a nerdy young lad i tried a cb radio. i went with my #1 conversation starter at the time and asked if anyone listening liked video games. some gruff trucker (who may have mistaken my prepubescent boy voice for female) replied, "you wanna play with my joystick?" so yea cb radio was a precursor to the modern internet in a variety of ways

when i was younger an older coworker had a cb in his pickup truck. myself and a friend who i also worked with would sit and talk on the thing during lunch, trolling truckers on the nearby freeway. good, clean fun. not like the dumb crap kids do nowadays!
