My wife of 33 years is upstairs naked in bed and I'm drinking USD9.99 wine scrolling poa.st at 0224 while Pai is demanding in my head to write a story.

I hear there are some other authors out there from "our side of the river."

It's a running joke that while watching anime, my wife and I will joke about "dodgy camera angles..."

Most Prods are "in the KJV..." and I tune them out. Lovely poetry but a shitty translation. When anyone of the Christian faith says, "in koine Greek, it was..." they have my full attention.

What's odd is that I cannot yet imagine who did this. I've been there for 3 years, then away for 3, then back for 2 years. EVERYONE knows my very odd personality and beliefs. So, some new hire? Did I finally say something to piss off one of the older nurses there?
Doesn't really matter. I'll wait for the axe to fall and use the Unemployment to look for a house.

GM, frens. Was warned last night that I'm going to be fired next quarter as someone came across my [poa.st](http://poa.st ) and Gab accts and forwarded them to our HR.
Guess I'll be moving to N Louisiana or Huntsville a bit sooner than anticipated. Lovely country we have here. Very glad I killed it in my books.

Not sure about black bear fat, but polar bear fat stores huge amounts of vit D. Early arctic explores were poisoned and died from eating it.

I was supposed to cover at a hospital downtown in nearby Big City for a month. 40 miles one way, clock in at 0630.
I demanded mileage; they agreed. First day was instant "Animal House": I'm the only White person here; I'm going to die.
After four days told them to stick it; fire me if you want. Better that than dead. Back at my bedroom community hospital, everyone pretending that never happened.

There are things which should not be in proximity in the "junk drawer."

After a poor start to 2024, I pray I'm getting things back on rails.

One of the main reasons I never make eye contact with pts in the hospital. Living dead.
