01.03.2025 00:54 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0A local news article regarding an AFGE rally outside of a VA. The quote from a VA employee (me) saying: "I've taken two oaths to protect the Constitution. And we don't serve kings and we don't serve billionaires. We serve the Constitution and for that to just be dismantled before our eyes is not what I fought for."
They butchered my name and my grammar, but I think the message still got across ๐

to being disciplined or terminated, you can request union representation. I'm not sure if Musk will give a shit about the law (lol) but I'm doing what I can to protect myself.
I viewed it as brushing up on my resume because who knows what will happen in the near future.

But those young teens grow up, and so do their chances of dying from this preventable cancer. Which is why the HPV vaccine is great.
I swear, critical thinking is a dirty phrase for these idiots.
It is frustrating when those people come to realize that I wasn't chicken littling it up though. I've walked into shit shows with nothing but a deep sigh and a pair of gloves, but when I'm frantically flailing and screaming, THAT'S when we question my sincerity?
C'mon.
My 19yo laughed at me today because I heard a weird car sound while driving on the highway and quickly looked all over the dashboard to make sure my car was fine before realizing it was the car next to me.
This is my punishment for making sure he's always had safe vehicles to drive. ๐
I used to say there's two kinds of people at the VA: those who do the bare minimum and then those that push for excellence despite pushback. Both groups say "What are they going to do? Fire me?"
It doesn't matter anymore, they're gonna.
