Glad to see you have trivia scheduled in there ❤️

Gee, hope none of them ever need surgery.

As a government peon, I can say we are reminded regularly about our responsibility for retention of federal records. This is such BS.

It's such a hard journey. For so long we've been told by society that we're worthless if not thin and conventionally attractive... even after losing a LOT of weight I was surprised how long it took me to feel like it was okay to exist.

Before you know it, if will be a crime to NOT own a Tesla.

Goddammit. I just FB searched our incredibly good handyman and while he appears to be a smart enough businessman to not BLATANTLY declare that he voted for this garbage, there were enough lines to read between, and he almost certainly did. I really didn't want to have to find a new one ☹️

I'm struggling really hard because we have so many fewer options here, but I'm trying. I'll definitely be thoughtfully trying to find reasonable alternatives before making any purchases.

Shocking

This Week in Dudek-Enabled Social Security Administration Screwups: Terminated Contracts Edition Monumental Screwup Followed By "Oops I Made a Mistake" Memo from Dudek

EAB has been one of the biggest efficiency game changers ever... makes perfect sense to get rid of it.
I wonder if it has to do with DOGE hacking a state contract or something.

I can't get behind damaging property of individual people just for buying a Tesla at some point in the past. But if it's sitting on a lot...

If you’re at home today, not spending money, and feeling bored, you might be wondering, “What could I do?” Well, task one: you can make random reports on this website: enddei.ed.gov

Slow and steady budget cuts for decades combined with failure to backfill positions has left the agency already too understaffed to help the public in any reasonable timeframe. This is going to be disastrous for the people we serve.

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at HR@opm.gov.

I also went on EmployeeExpress and downloaded years of pay stubs in case our leave records, records of TSP contributions, healthcare premium payments, etc. mysteriously disappear.

Government employees: please download your performance reviews/personnel files.

Word is that the system will be going offline tomorrow to possible amend those performance reviews for justification of firings.
