talk about BS numbers

I have NEVER in my entire life seen so many Help Wanted signs

You been ignoring all the posts I have put up?

The employers want to continue paying crap wages. 
Gen X & Millenials say fuck off & die.



Remember this one?

Worst interview ever.
Im going to a trade school to become an electrical technician. Someone from career services told me there's a security company that needed techs. He told me the job payed 25 dollars an hour. It was little more than an hour drive but $25 dollars right out of school was too good to pass. I showed up on time and no one is there. I wait for about 5 minutes and the secretary shows up and lets me in. I asked her when is the interview going to start and she said oh just wait for the manager in this office. She then said be prepared to wait because he is always late. Red flags are going off in my mind but I already drove an hour to get there and $25 dollars an hour motivated me to stay. ONE HOUR LATER I'm pissed and I asked the secretary hey is the interview going to happen? She said that the manager just text her and he is 10 minutes away. I should of just left but my greed kept me there. ONE HOUR AFTER THAT the manager strolled in and told me I'm late to interviews on purpose so I can find patient people. I tried to stay professional and I do pretty well in the interview. He wanted to hire me on the spot but I always ask about benefits and pay before I say yes. He said with the biggest smile it pays $90 a day. I was so confused. I let him know that career services said $25 an hour. He said plainly that he always tell them that so he can have the most techs come in and interview. He starts complaining how no one wants to work anymore and it's so hard to find people. I was so pissed that I told him I would take the job. He told me to start Monday. I'm not going to go. I just hope he gets pissed off and tries to call me asking why I didn't show. I'm planning on saying I jUsT Don'T WaNt To wOrk No moRe.

with so many highly skilled intellectuals out of work, you'd figure we'd see an explosion of new businesses being created.

That's supposed to be part of the employment crunch.

Employers who pay decent wages seem to be getting staff.

And over half the businesses in WI saw a 10% increase in costs recently because of inflation

Guess that 'living wage' will have to be over $40/hr in the near future

Not just humans.

Humans aren't the only creatures that suffer from substance abuse problems. Horses eat hallucinogenic weeds, elephants get drunk on overripe fruit and big horn sheep love narcotic lichen. Monkeys' attraction to sugar-rich and ethanol-containing fruit, in fact, may explain our own attraction to alcohol, some researchers think.

Now, dolphins may join that list. Footage from a new BBC documentary series, "Spy in the Pod," reveals what appears to be dolphins getting high off of pufferfish. Pufferfish produce a potent defensive chemical, which they eject when threatened. In small enough doses, however, the toxin seems to induce "a trance-like state" in dolphins that come into contact with it

yep and birds get drunk on fermented fruit, as well.

I saw a Pickles comic you'd like. The woman was feeding the dog and he was thinking "You bring me food and keep me alive, you must be God"

and the cat thought "You bring me food......... I must be God."

Thor took to my neck around 1am, pinning me.
16 lbs of orange fluff sleeping on me.
Then Illy slept on my left ankle.
Loki always needs a lap, but I was crowded so she settled for my right thigh.

You were complaining about China killing animals

Couple adopts pups after pets culled over COVID fears
Mon, February 28, 2022, 3:50 AM
STORY: These new adopted puppies will never replace this Vietnamese couple's previous pack.

But it might help Nguyen Thi Chi Em and Pham Minh Hung to heal from the trauma and heartbreak, after the authorities culled their 15 dogs while they were in quarantine recovering from COVID-19.

“I was sad and cried a lot from missing the other culled dogs so my husband comforted me and told me we will raise other puppies. On that day, when we were taken away to quarantine, I found out from the internet at around 2 p.m. that the authorities had killed them.”

Different outlook.
Certain countries have different ideas about animals.

I gotta be honest......... I put that into about the same category as how different people view a lot of things very differently.

If we spent all our time worrying about all of the things that might upset us or go against our own delicate sensibilities?......we might never sleep again.

It's just in China dogs & cats are food along with all critters.

In the middle east,  dogs are unclean, aren't they?

However, this is fun

Cat Makes the Bed Like a Human After Scolding Kitten Who Messed It Up
BY MARY HAWKINS
LOL. Apparently, some cats are very particular about household chores getting done. And in a video that was shared on Reddit, one cat got very upset when a kitten had the audacity to mess up the bed and pull the sheets off.


The clip has over 200 comments, and in it, you'll see the mama cat finding the kitten rolling around under the sheets. She promptly jumps onto the bed, scolds the kitten for misbehaving, and then proceeds to try and re-make the bed herself. No joke.

I can't believe the wife isn't posting videos of our latest...........she can not stop trashing the place. Whether it's rugs taped to the floor or blankets on couches or pillows stack high and away from her.......she's making every effort to repeatedly get at them all and destroy them. And she's very silently quick. And cute.
