Or maybe dad was just so disappointed when the baby was a girl that his sexism was even more extreme than his anti-trans views.

“Failure of OPM to acknowledge that this email was read by 11:59 pm on Tuesday is taken as my exemption from the requirement for future weekly responses.“

LOL! They used a new domain with my agency name in it but it still has OPM in the user id.

For some reason, the first thing that came to my mind was that super-old SNL sketch where Chevy Chase plays a landshark pretending to be a candygram delivery guy before it tries to eat Gilda Radner.

Unfortunately, cruelty is the point.

I, for one, plan to run this experiment to check for reproducibility ASAP. The cost of science keeps increasing while support for it is decreasing. At the rate things are going, the rising cost of home egg experiments is probably outpacing inflation for other scientific research materials.

Same! I am a workaholic and often don’t stop until after midnight while WFH. I look forward to restoration of the “life” part of work-life balance with RTW. By 6 pm the janitors will vacuum around me, I’ll wave my arms to turn lights back on and so I’ll go home or socialize like normal people.

Perhaps pensions are rare nowadays but I paid nothing for health insurance in the private sector and gave up lucrative stock options to “serve the public.” TSP is no better than my past 401K plans. Obviously, I’m an idiot and questioning my life choices.

Once upon a time, the USSR persecuted geneticists because Mendelian genetics was a capitalist ideology and eventually, their people were starving and dependent on wheat surpluses from other countries. H5N1 research now impaired. Only 3 days and no eggs @my local Giant! We really are more efficient!
