We are threatened with thunderstorms every afternoon. Thus far, they have done nothing much, aside from one that brushed my Saturday, and brought down a sizable limb from a tree in my yard.

The weather is headed towards fall, here. So far, the fires have largely remained well to the north, so the air is pretty clear. That may not last.
Have you ever used a sponge so nasty that your hands smell terrible for hours afterwards?
We had about a week and a half with the temps only in the mid 80's. I can't ever remember that happening in July here. We're back to mid 90's this week, more normal.
Hmmm, no.Quote:

No, it was a communal sponge in the office break room. They get a certain, distinctive, funk about them.
I guess because of the government cut backs everyone has to tighten their belt. Sponges aren't free!!! :pQuote:

It's the tragedy of the commons all over again. In this case, the tragedy of the common sponge. People use it, but they don't dispose of it until it eventually becomes sufficiently appalling that somebody can't take it any longer.
Used up, shared sponge :sick:
Can't get that mental image out of my head.
And I couldn't get the smell off my hands.
Well, at least not until it wore off.
I probably could have masked it by washing in something aromatic, but that doesn't really solve things.

Not much chit chat lately.
A friend of mine just bought a place in Fl called the Villages. Suppose to be the biggest senior community in the country. @ 138,000. Golf carts everywhere, I think he said there were over 200 miles of cart paths. Lots of community pools. I thought it was strange that they are saltwater.
Today was a roller coaster of emotions.
I was given another PIP, second in 9 months and told flat out that I’m not expected to succeed and to take the severance.
I talked with the CEO and he told me that he thought I could succeed but that I should speak with coworkers to get their opinion. The two I talked to (old tech lead and current PM) wanted me to go through it.
My wife tells me to take the severance and leave, and I ultimately decided to take the severance and leave to try and find employment somewhere else.
