Due to extensive kissing, his exhaust port is approximately two meters wide...

Also: Remote working had every chance of being the great salvation of small town USA, shifting income and tax base to more rural communities is a good thing.

From another agency already back. Get active noise cancelling headphones, meetings from the cube farm are rough. The commutes suck, traffic sucks, your productivity over the next week is just going to suck. With govt spending cards frozen, you are gonna be without office supplies. Stay strong.

Not to mention that it's almost impossible to concentrate hearing the separate conversations from the cubicles surrounding yours.

Our office's productivity shot up when we all went remote. Unfortunately, Monday was the end of remote or even telework. People are way less productive when they have to spend multiple hours a day traveling just to sit in a cubicle to have the same teams meetings they were having from home last week

View empathy as a disease and find out what happens.

I'm hopeful recent court rulings lead to settlements for illegal firings.

Hm, are you still inside the 2 year probationary period? You should probably get into graphic detail about the sanitation duties if so... You know, report out color and consistency. Wish we could make emails smell...

Maybe this will finally teach them to think about more than "pw3ning the libs". I can hope, but pessimism has been more accurate.

Either that or Katie Porter? I miss her chart attacks in the house. She was very good at simplifying which we need to drill some things through skulls.

I am more and more convinced that he is genuinely addled in the brain and never thinks deeply about what he does. God help us.

Not allowed. A person in a position to call one would be breaking the law by interfering with the operations of a government agency. Don't have the right, the hatch act muzzles the voice. Break it and big legal consequences. Hard to fight those painting as the villain. Frustrating and heartbreaking

Many are, that said, no ability to strike. Not allowed. There isn't much leverage outside the courts.

I think too many competing vultures will be the main driver.

Ah, but does he have the broad support, sorry, fealty, like Rump? I think if there is an impeachment, the R's will be far less cohesive.

Gotcha. I guess that's the next shoe I'll see at my office.

I don't think they intend to replace them. The edicts say you can only hire one for every 4 fired and only if you clear it by doge.

Because they are free from the Hatch Act and it allows them to do something about all this.

When you find a roadsign the same as your cars model.

All we can do is our best. This is all impossibly hard.

I'm hurting. Colleagues who have become as family have been torn away. The powerless feeling is the worst. Lives are being shattered.

Navy Yard braces for traffic as nearly 17,000 feds go back to office "Expect heavy traffic, delays, and limited parking," the Navy told its D.C. employees.

This is going to be a total shit show. I don't go back until March 10, but get to watch how this goes as a preview... Navy Yard is next door to my office. As a note, the commuter bus i ride halved the number of rides per day last summer. www.axios.com/local/washin...

I think imploding subs have proven to be effective in recent history...

Unsure, but would say that we have been engaging our local public public library with the boys for hardcopy. If you have the time, it's worth using and supporting.

Trump recommends ending FEMA ahead of California fire site visit President Donald Trump will visit California to see the damage caused by wildfires around Los Angeles. FEMA has been involved in response efforts there.

Good luck Florida. I don't know how that state will be economically viable without FEMA.

Trying to limit the doom scrolling has been difficult. So many of us have spent the past few days working through what's coming down. Getting past despair that it seems their message is more important than the mission. Determination on the mission, with love for those shoved off the mission.
