Just an old hippy, appalled by the erosion of the rights I fought so hard for in the 1970s. ODAAT - No DM please.

We're putting out $25M in grants to train 22,000+ California workers in the skilled trades like construction.

That's on top of the $30M announced last week for apprenticeships in health care, education, and tech.

You shouldn't need a college degree to land a high-paying job.

A cartoon of a woman looking at her computer monitor. The title of the cartoon is "Peak Operational Efficiency."

Quote bubbles coming out of the monitor suggest numerous emails with contradictory information and instructions. 

"You're fired!"

"NO - WAIT! Never mind!"

"Back to work!"

"Send your manager FIVE accomplishments or you're fired!"

"No don't!"

"Send five or you're fired!"

There's an additional chat bubble coming from the monitor with an apparent headline that reads, "Thousands of fired federal workers called back to work."

Finally, there is a cell phone on the desk, and the caller is asking, "Hey...do you still have a job?

It doesn't seem the day for celebration, but I reached the milestone of 33 years clean and sober today. For that (at least) I am extremely grateful.

To President Zelensky, From an Embarrassed American Dear President Zelensky,

Dear President Zelensky,

As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here.

I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders.

Subject: Proposed Response to HHS Employees

HHS Employees -

On Saturday, you received an email from OPM entitled "What did you do last week." The directive stated employees were to submit five bullets detailing their accomplishments in the past week.
In discussions with OPM Officials yesterday and today OPM has now rescinded that mandatory requirement.

There is no HHS expectation that HHS employees respond to OPM and there is no impact to your employment with the agency if you choose not to respond.

That said, if you choose to respond, here are the guidelines you should follow:
ο»Ώο»ΏRespond to the email by the deadline established (today @ 11:59 P.M.).
ο»Ώο»ΏKeep your response at a high level of generality and describe your work in a manner to protect sensitive data, personally identifiable information, and applicable privileges to the extent possible. Do not (1) identify, by name or title, any other HHS employees with whom you have been working; (2) identify, by case name or otherwise, matters you are working on, or (3) identify any specific grants or contracts, or any specific grantees or contractors.
ο»Ώο»ΏIf you are engaged in scientific research or reviews, do not identify by name any drugs, devices, biologics, therapeutics, or similar items in your response. If you are engaged in any scientific experiments, research, or reviews, do not provide Information that could allow anyone to identify the precise nature of your work.
ο»Ώο»ΏRespond by replying to the OPM HR email as instructed, with a cc: to your supervisor.
ο»Ώο»ΏAssume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly.

New β€” HHS just got another email with guidance stating that they aren’t required to respond to the 5 bullets email, but if they do they should follow specific guidelines including:

β€œAssume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly.”
