A man with a damp, fishy magazine presents no hazard to me. What say ye, scoundrel?
Look at all those chickens!
I say unto thee: Thou hast not yet smelled the fish. For ye, verily, had thou done thus, mighty would have been thine reaction.Quote:

We aren't too worried about it because we are young, we have been masking up, and we have not visited our elderly family in quite some time. It still sucks nonetheless.
Sorry for that :( . Does she has bad symptom ?

You will be contacted in due course with full instructions.
Everything is happening to you, this year. Hurricane after hurricane, deaths in the family, and now this. Hopefully, it will pass without symptoms of any sort...but...you seem to be a lightning rod of the weirdest kind this year.Quote:

2020 has been a rough year, but I'm just grateful that I am still employed and have a good core of friends and family. That alone is much more than some.
Hope your wife gets better soon :)
I was laid off at the end of July after nearly 15 years at a job I quite liked. It's a bummer for sure.Quote:

Well they said that engineering was not a key skill in the company anymore. Which struck me as sounding a bit odd because it's an engineering company.
So I reckon it's gone forever. So it goes.
Maybe it's all just marketing, now?
Anyways, you have nine lives, so you'll get over it.
When I was an exclusive agency owner with Allstate, they made a shift from being an insurance company to being a data collection company that sells insurance.
That was when I saw the writing on the wall for the traditional brick and mortar franchise model that I was under. If I had to guess, the will be less than 1 agent per parish (or county) in the next 10 years and everything will have been moved to their mobile app, website, and/or corporate customer support (which is more often than not outsourced).
Have you considered becoming a bereavement counselor?Quote:

Do you charge by the hour?
By the yard, it's easier that way.
The company that I work for have an offsite learning allowance which allows us to essentially get paid to learn something.
I've been taking a Udemy course on NodeJS and I have learned a ton. I'm excited to have this new skill in my pocket.
Congrulations
Skills go stale if they aren't used. I've written programs using JQuery and Cordova, but I only barely remember how.
So you postulate that skills are more like cakes than like biscuits?Quote:

This post does not appear, and you are not reading it.
Biscuits ("cookies" in American) go soft instead of stale. There is no pastry involved with biscuits or cakes in the civilised world, as you well know.Quote:

Putting cakes and biscuits in the same container is therefore prohibited by international convention for what I hope you will consider to be very obvious safety reasons.
This was the definition McVities used to avoid VAT on Jaffa cakes. There was actually a court case about it that has established the definition of a cake vs a biscuit in British law.
Personally, I think it's a huge miscarriage of justice. The definition of a biscuit should be that it's cooked twice, which is literally what "biscuit" means.
But the law is, of course, an ass. Which way too long a post for post race, should sufficiently set up Shaggy to say something about ass-biscuits.
Of course it went to court over how a tax would be applied.
Hurricane season is over. Thank the Lord.
HA! I don't live in the civilized world. I live in Idaho, and in a desert, at that. Everything loses moisture out here, even dust.Quote:

It tells me Invalid attachment.
The forum software is probably having trouble figuring out what kind of attachment it is.
It's a bun, isn't it? They get invalid if you sit on them for too long.Quote:
