My health insurance finally approved my off-label chemotherapy in combination with immunotherapy. My first treatment will be on Wednesday.

Funny how some people really do want a job that is dull and soul destroying.

Hey! I take exception to that.
Anyway, I'm in the process of becoming a spiritual accountant like Amber.

Amber Jacobs: An articulate, friendly woman looks into the camera and introduces herself as, wait for it, the spiritual accountant. She makes a whole bunch of claims, including the bizarre idea that tax is not compulsory.

no

if you hold a colander under an eclipse, it acts like a multihole pinhole camera and projects lots of little eclipse images on a flat surface. my wife wanted to see it.

...Not to mention that it acts like a parabolic antenna and sends them alien microwaves right back at them.

some people like their jobs. some people hate their jobs. i was reading the news and got distracted by some clickbait

which was a success for the clickbait

and then it occurred to me that the worst job i coul dimagine having right now would be having to write things like this in order to make a living

Caught off guard

One of the teachers, Miss Clara, quickly entered the principal's office and closed the door behind her. "Shit, Eric! What was that? Who is that girl?" she whispered, completely caught off guard by what had just happened. "That's what I'm going to find out now, he muttered as he looked through one of his drawers.

The unexpected appearance of the mysterious girl has clearly left Miss Clara and Eric, the principal, bewildered. Their hushed conversation and the search for answers suggest that something intriguing or perhaps even concerning has just occurred. The unfolding story is sure to reveal more about the girl's identity and the secrets that may lie ahead

i would strangle innocent passersby before i would succeed in writing very much like this.

what would you hate to do for a living?

I suppose we may get to thank AI at some point in the future.

Here is a video about the Panama Canal. The canal has some enormous political influence without meaning to do so.  Less and less ability to accommodate cargo ships influences the inflation cycle. We complain about inflation and blame our politicians for our plight.

The real causation is diminished rainfall. Our less informed citizens, which is the vast majority of us, choose to lay the blame on the nations leaders when no other explanation fits into their heads.
