More than one thing actually. I’ve been trying to stay away from this place for a while, because reasons. Yet, here I am. I think my job is at risk(and I’m not the only one in this boat) because office politics (grrrr:mad:) Legal shit with the ex…dammit…fantasies of winning the lottery and giving the world a big ol’ metaphorical double finger are strong right now. What kind of cheez goes good with whine? ---

Yeah, it freaking sucks. In a lot of ways. For a lot of people. I know it’s probably cold comfort, but these are miserable times for many folks. ---

I hear ya. Excellent chance I’ll be out of a job in a few weeks, and I have lottery tickets for this weekend. My employer cut everyone’s salaries by 7.5% or more a few weeks ago, telling us this was to avoid layoffs. The layoffs started yesterday. The company is still making money, but they said they have to make the shareholders happy. ---

Frustration abounds… I have an “essential job” so still working 40 hour weeks and they are staggering the schedule so sometimes I work Saturdays. My kids, my sister-in-law, my neighbor, shoot-maybe even the neighbor’s dog is collecting unemployment and are making more than me sitting at home with the $500 or $600+ dollars a week they are getting. And they ALL (maybe not the neighbor’s dog) only have part time jobs. My neighbor and sister-in-law both say they dread going back to work due to the loss of the extra income. ---

Not that certain people I know would try gaming the system and not go back to work when they can and continue to collect unemployment.
