Some people are going up, others are having a tough time.
But as long as we don't fall into the "gently caress 20XX" pit I think we'll make it through just fine.

Ew. No. Also my wife's birthday is in September, so I have that to look forward to.

Hell, I just started a new job. It's good so far, I think.

Good for me this month: two interviews lined up next week (laid off since middle of June.)

The bad: they're both in industries I find ethically questionable - defense contracting and healthcare.

Only in Louisiana have I seen people turn on their hazards and driving either: slow because it is raining hard *or* fast because they are having some sort emergency (?).

I've seen people do this in Florida too but then Florida has those giant light up signs above our highways (usually telling you about a 'Silver Alert') that tell you to NOT drive around with your hazards on and instead just slow down, have your headlights on, and use your wipers.

I think people do it because they want you to be able to see them in heavy rain? Maybe?

I think it usually means "I'm driving unusually slowly, so please don't hit me."

Yeah, same. Like, "Pay attention to me and my driving," but in a productive way, like they're having vehicle trouble or whatever.

Not long after I started driving people pushed the whole flashers in the (extremely heavy, low visibility) rain bit. Now it's fallen out of favor.

Yeah I've seen that in PA. It's silly but whatever. A thousand times worse are the hordes of morons I see on the turnpike whenever its pissing rain and visibility is about 10 feet driving with no lights on whatsoever.

Close behind are people driving around with the rear fog on in clear visibility, but that's usually constrained to Euro brands and I begrudgingly give them a pass because who in the US even knows what a rear fog light is?

Re: Big C chat :glomp: I’m hopeful for all dealing with Jr one way or another get a positive outcome.

Music stuff: I recently discovered ‘the session’ podcast and have found an appreciation for songs I never once considered. Amy Winehouse and rehab? Who literally cares? Listen to one podcast and a breakdown of it and :o: blows my mind.

My boss/owner of the company has decided he’s worked long enough. So he’s moving to a very limited role, like every few weeks pop in or will be at the office when someone takes vacation to cover the workload. I say good for him. He deserves to relax more and enjoy time with his family.
So basically me and two others will be running the show. It’s a little daunting but it’s what he hired me to eventually do and the others have been there longer than me. We all know our roles and we’re ready for it.

My new truck doesn't have a CD player and despite many years of streaming I still find it wierd not being able to grab an album off the shelf on my way out the door and listen to it front to back on my way to work.

Even loading an album onto a USB and popping that in just feels cold and disconnected.
