The Swamp

[+] spoiler

So I was thinking back to 9/11. There was an 18-minute gap between the first plane strike on the North Tower and the second strike on the South Tower. There were at least one and probably multiple security people in the South Tower that after the first strike recommended people stay in their offices. The training that they had and the knowledge from years of security experience would dictate that staying put was probably the right call. Ultimately about 650 employees in the South Tower perished, including many who were in the sky lobby, which the second plane struck almost completely. Those security experts were working on the best knowledge and skill they knew, and probably many if not anyone in the same position would have reasonably made the same call. Yet their call likely also cost lives of employees who would've evacuated at first notice. Those poor bastards have probably had countless sleepless nights since, wracked by survivor's guilt, and thousands of dollars worth of therapy for their decision, which again, was totally reasonable at the time.

TFG's failures cost, what, 200,000 American lives due to COVID? At least? And do you think TFG has even spent a moment in contemplation about the gravity of his decisions? Every time I think of this I just it just infuriates me.

My unsolicited two cents is coconut water. Get better, duff!

I've given Coconut water several chances and it just isn't my bag. Tastes like someone mentioned a pina colada in a text message a week ago.

Is there a Covid piss test or are you pregnant?

I'll be at a (local) conference organized by my company, not in the office. Not going to lie, being just a little more than 3 weeks off of having COVID is making me a lot more comfortable with this whole thing than I otherwise would be.

rass wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 11:01 am I heard from another coworker who is positive, and the company sent out an email to everyone who attended letting them know there have been cases post-conference and asking everyone to avoid coming into the office until 5/25, along with boilerplate symptoms/testing text. Great.

My train of thought was why am I going into an area with no one taking precautions and possibly putting them at risk, but have seen my family a total of 20 minutes in 8 days. I know more than enough people that are okay with that situation, but I am not one of them.

Good news is that I am feeling 100% better than a week ago. The meds I am on cause a horrible taste in my mouth that I can't shake. I can deal with that over any other symptoms.

She's also an Arbonne 'Boss Babe' and Jesus nutter. It was her posts on Facebook after Trump got elected that made me nuke it because she's a moonbat, obviously. She wouldn't hesitate to turn in others, so, yea.

I've made an inquiry to the Keesler AFB Inspector General's hotline. So I hope something happens. She's willing to shitcan an entire military career over a shot. It's disgraceful.

And there's kind of a TMZ-esque Air Force page you can send stuff to. I don't want to do that because I'm still in, but if you want to I'll send you the page.
