The 'orientation' (which is also an OTJ test of sorts) costs them a bit
of money. They would not pay for that just to avoid hurting his feelings.
 
They want to keep him in reserve in case other new hires end up quitting,
asking for more money or better schedules, or just popping off.
 
So the chances are not zero, more accurately they are just slim.

There's no way he can get a nursing job, even during a pandemic. He
even knows that himself.
 
Someone recently said that a job in a bakery or candy making
operation would be better suited. I thought that was a great idea
too ... Until christmas day!
 
The nashville bombing was all about crippling at&t, because they
spy on us. Kuth's always been paranoid about surveillance
capitalism and god knows, he thinks the whole damn world is spying
on him. If he lived in nashville, he would have been my first thought!
 
If he were in a bakery or candy shop, what if he snapped one day
while thinking about how evil humans are ... and decided to poison
as many as possible? Being a certified cannabis nurse and multi
degreed engineer, he certainly has the skills to wreak mass murder
via poisons.

Remember that old Super Bowl commercial about cowboys herding cats? Just
like an old cattle drive but with cats. Too funny. I never did know what
they were advertising.

We didn't flatten the curve in spring - we crushed it. We are now
paying the piper.

That's true. There is always something worse. A few years back I was
listening to a radio show about miscarriages and one woman who called in
had had one and a friend commented that she was lucky that she already
had a couple children. The woman was really upset about that and said
that a person could not say anything worse to a woman who had just lost
a baby by miscarriage. Well, I have to admit that my mind often jumps
at the opportunity to consider all the possibilities. Luckily, the
filter sometimes works, but I can tell you that I immediately considered
dozens of things that would have been so much more offensive to someone
who was so sensitive that she took that well meaning remark so badly.

You think like this:
"I'm old so it's alright if I get covid and die. Give my vaccine to a
young person, even though they'd be over their covid in 2 weeks."
 
Now who's stupid?

But it would be a good thing if his wife was home. The less he drinks,
the less he talks nonsense and waves his man bag around.

The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had
just married for the fourth time. The interviewer asked her questions about
her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then
about her new husband's occupation. "He's a funeral director," she
answered.

He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first
three husbands and what they did for a living. She paused for a few
moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. After a short time,
she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when
she was in her 20's, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, and a
preacher when in her 60's, and now - in her 80's - a funeral director.

The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had
married four men with such diverse careers.

(Wait for it)

She explained,

"I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and
four to go."

Both were obviously liars... do you really believe that that dad was a
virgin when they married? Mom was obviously a very experienced Ho.

i'm highly unlikely to date a fertile woman. as i get older
the thought actually terrifies me. :) as i definitely do not
want children, ever.
 
i suppose if somehow i were to happen to find someone young
enough i'd probably use that as a reason to get snipped.

i have had to be more notably male on usenet over the years
because of the number of people who assumed i was female.
 
i'm sure a lot of it is that i don't particularly care much
for male stereotypical things (drinking, guns, team sports,
cars, hunting) and i also mostly write without considering
including the obvious references to gender roles or actions
which would mark me as male. i do consider myself fairly
gender neutral in how i think and feel and i do tend to get
along a lot better with women than men (thanks Dad! :) ).
 
and of course, that i know how to cook, clean, garden,
put up food, sew, do laundry, etc. i was raised to be able
to take care of myself (thanks Mom! :) ).
 
i'm not Native American to any large degree that i know of,
but we're not sure about Grandma on Mom's side - still i
doubt it is any significant portion. trace perhaps.
 
as for the rest of Sheldon's odd remarks, i've learned to
ignore whatever isn't worth commenting upon.

Style over substance. Just as those silly bowl sinks were all the rage.
Looked nifty but not at all practical.

the best water i've had in my life was from the place i
rented in eastern TN, it was so clean you could run the
shower and let it air dry and there wouldn't be any
marks on the wall. here if i let things air dry there
are spots from the calcium/iron. after many uses the
glass will start to look yellow from the iron. a bit
of chemicals removes that and then they look ok again
for a while.
 
the next best water i had was up north where the local
municipality sourced their water from an old abandoned
copper mine. after some years they switched over to
wells sited in a rather rotten place and the water was
much worse. progress... heh, nope, not that time...

A rice cooker nothing but an electric pan - useless. You'll still

Were I selling "traditional" buffalo milk mozzarella and Joe Blow was
selling "cow´s milk" mozzarella, I would do my best to bemoan, belittle
and besmirch Joe's product, even if "I" was a whole country. That´s
just good business.
