Oh cool that insane thunderstorm knocked out power to all the stoplights. This drive home should be fun.

Looks like half the county pretty much. That storm was bonkers. Naturally this happened on a night when my wife is getting her hair cut then going to dinner after. Really putting a dent in my plans to grab a drink or two after work then chill.
 
@BarcaDeac given the current circumstances I’ve resorted to an edible and IPAs in the backyard. Entertainment options looking frighteningly sparse and I don’t even have a new book to get into.

I love a good summer thunderstorm but prefer to at least be at home where I can sit on my screened porch and just kick back. This one was wild. Winds up to 80 MPH and was pretty much over in 45 minutes.

Yeah this one escalated quickly. From the time I realized I should grab the pillows off the outdoor furniture I didn't even make it out the door before it the wind went nuts. Hurricane level shit.

It stormed here from like 2-6 am. I kept getting woken up by thunder.

I was doing my last treatment of the day and we were about 20 feet from the person’s wheelchair and I was like “I’m just gonna get you back in your wheelchair in case we need to move somewhere quickly”
 
It’s a very frustrating situation being unable to find a job when the major critique I am receiving is that I have too many short stints. Yes, but there is a reason for many of those short stints. People will happily say thank you for the service but don’t seem to care that the service involves familial sacrifice And if I complain about this job stuff, people often respond well you’re moving to Paris soon, so why does it matter, as if the present doesn’t matter. We still have bills and expenses that I am still expected to cover, because my wife is still only a Federal employee, which isn’t that big a deal if there is solid dual income. I still also have a desire to have some sort of a career.

It would be great if lawyers were like creatives and could work remotely from anywhere and people were ok with it but that really isn’t the case (I had one job but when we were moving to DC I didn’t think it paid enough).

Also doesn’t help that I seem to be missing that “it” factor that people are looking for in hiring. Plenty of dour people have jobs, but dour people don’t often change jobs.

Anyways that is why the Kids Arent Alright by the Offspring is number 74 on my hot 100 list.

If you pity hug emoji this post you have a small wiener.

what didn't you understand?

i don't like getting asked for my opinion (tbf, Townie asked me), writing a lot (my fault) and then getting like "i disagree" and "that's not how i remember it"

i mean obviously, but let's have a conversation y'all
