I did work night shifts every other month which I enjoyed more than the day
shift. And I've worked a LOT of holidays I'd rather not have but my shift
was on that holiday so I had to work.

If they offer you a 401k, jump on it and contribute as much as you can afford.

I worked a compressed work week with four 9.25 hour days. I loved it.
My son worked the 12 hour shifts for about 5 years in his current job
but they recently switched to the same deal I had and he prefers it. He
gets an extra day off each week, but he still has time for a life on his
working days.

Yes, as long as you keep up your part of the bargain ... Even one

About 2 or 3 years after I left they switched to an 8-hour day with three
shifts which meant a 5 day work week. They all hate it but since the
Coronavirus they're down to one working by themselves. Former co-worker
told the boss once all this is over, going to back to 2 on a shift will
not go over well.

Oh, I will, I really did that with my jib for IBM because IBM matched up to a certain amount 50% so I immediately began buying that amount and getting the full 50% bonus!
 
Gave me enough on my 401(K) to pay off ALL my debts after IBM laid me off in 2003!

>It's my favorite kim chee. I eat it a lot but I mostly never have to make it because I get it with Korean plate lunches. If I do make it, I use the Noh mix. Essentially, cucumber is cut into pieces and then salted. Let it sit a while to let the salt do it's magic. Grab the cucumber in your hands and squish out most of the water. Then add the seasonings.
 
>I use the mix but the link below seems pretty reasonable. The tricky part is getting the salting correct. It should be salty but not too salty. Taste the salted cucumber before adding the spices. Rinse if too salty. The link below is more like a Hawaiian style kim chee. I recommend something like this before tackling the more intense Korean style. Don't let it set in the refrigerator too long. Soggy cucumber kim chee is not so good.

Thanks for the advice and the link. I will get some cukes on the next

Your phone presumably came with a charger cable. One end of that will be
a usb plug that you can plug into your desktop or laptop computer and it

It's spicy and tangy yet cooling at the same time. Brilliant!

Admit it. The Republicans made sure it would be a failure. We pay less
for health care that you do. Everyone is covered and people with
pre-existing conditions are not excluded.

Maybe, but the absolute stingiest and most bitter whiners I've seen
are canadians. Maybe just coincidence.

Forget it. Talking politics with Republicans is like talking to people
with a brain injury.

In the age of sail, it routinely took years for vessels to get
supplies.
Back then, all the US Navy officers were required to be homosexual.
And, US marines were not allowed to serve on navy vessels.
 
Sailors from brooklyn were especially required to be homosexual,
even the enlisted men. The navy never allowed anyone from Brooklyn
who was not a queer. All sailors from brooklyn were ALWAYS raging
faggots.

Thanks to the new age of menses flow control apparatus, one can ride a bike, swim, go bowling, play blackjack, eat a 12 course Chinese meal, skydive, play ice hockey, and have mess free period sex, with no worries at all! Thank you, Jesus!

I had a hankering for Italian sausages but did not want to fire up the
Weber for a few dogs. Instead I used the Ninja Foodi pressure cooker
and processed them for 15 minutes. When the cooking was complete I
released the pressure then used the bake/roast function to brown them
for about 10 minutes total for all sides.
 
No buns so I had to use white bread and spicy brown mustard. Quite
good and faster than the grill but the grill does give them that nice
char-grilled taste.

Good thinking. You got your sausages without the fuss and muss of a
grill.

Tonight's dinner was Johnsonville Beer Brats, slowly pan fried until
golden brown on all sides, served with white rice rather than bread.
Was very good, quick, and easy. White rice was in the freezer, just
needed nuking. Fried two packs of brats, enough to do the same
tomorrow but maybe with egg noodles and a salad.
Rained this morning so messed up my planned mowing, hopefully I'll get
to mow tomorrow. But in the afternoon we wheelbarrowed topsoil into
the garden, it'll soon be tilled and planted, our potted seeds are now
up.
I'm watching Canada geese marching, eating, and pooping... they were
here first.

Yes, and I've already washed that non-stick inner pot and the raised grill
thingie. I'd still be out there cleaning out spent charcoal and putting the
grill away. Usually, when I use the Weber I'm also grilling a couple of
pork chops, a chicken breast and a steak or two to be eaten in the coming
week.

My yard was mowed yesterday but weed-eated today and the blower used to
scatter grass off the sidewalk.

Saturday night, so we did the usual.... burgers. It was nice to be able
to do them on the gas grill and to eat out on the patio.

I got 2 rotisserie chickens from Costco day before yesterday.
The first chicken was lunch for 2 days. The remainder of that chicken
(the meat) went into a King Ranch Casserole for last night. I saved
the bones, juices and skin and froze it.
Tonight is leftover King Ranch casserole with a Black Bean Salad.
Tomorrow I will strip the meat from the second chicken and make 2
large chicken pot pies (freeze one) I'll save the skin, bones and
juices and add to the first batch of bones and make a small broth that
will become a chicken soup for the day after tomorrow.
There's bound to be something to mess up my plans.
