So I got let go from my job yesterday after having worked there for over a year. No one else would hire me. I never once called out, always valued and enjoyed going to work and doing the best I could given my struggles with epilepsy. I listened to my supervisors and improved in my performance on the job. I would regularly have seizures and would wake up on the floor sometimes and there wasn't anyone else in the building with me. The supervisors told me I was getting better at the job. Then the building manager said I wasn't doing a good enough job and told the janitor service to fire me or they would drop them and go with a different janitorial service. My wife is going in for surgery again tomorrow for the 3rd time. My 40th birthday is in one week so I'm excited for... I suppose the important thing to take away from this is: Get a job no matter how difficult it is to find one after applying hundreds of places with countless interviews. Show up to work, value the job and don't ever call out for any reason at all. Improve at the job even if you have a disability which makes it extremely difficult. Still get better at the job and always show up, be loyal to and value the job for over a year. Get fired for valuing the job and showing up while trying your best. If anybody has any ideas as to how to take the next step forward then I'd love to hear suggestions. I can't afford food so I just don't really eat anymore and the local food banks are always empty when I show up. No matter what, if we get some snow this winter that will at least be pretty and nice to enjoy.

Probably the last happy hour on the deck until spring.

Always be prepared. Better safe than sorry.

Winter dog makes a good point. Trump has a long list of short comings’ but he solved a lot of problems and China and the Middle East STFU and went quiet. In that silence the US did well economically and Americans could breath.

I had a 5 MPH gust earlier.
