Good morning, friends. 🌼🌼🌼

It's Friday and I know it's 5 PM somewhere so enjoy.

Yesterday, I had lunch with some of my former coworkers. Hmmm ... I started to use the work "old" instead of "former," but some of them are indeed not old. Okay, my train is trying to jump the track. Oops, there it goes.

I used to look forward to weekends, sometimes. My old job would often require me to work up to 20 days without a weekend break. During those times I would joke that "Thank God it's Friday. I did this with a smile because other than the weird hours, it was a pretty good job. When actual "take a break," weekends came they were usually pretty long, sometimes several days. I have to say, the anticipation of a weekend was usually much more exciting than the actual weekend.

“Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them.” - John Shirley

Another economic success story from the Biden Administration🙂: The prime-age employment rate is now higher than the pre-recession peak.

And it did so in record time, despite starting from a lower base.

It's been a historically rapid and complete recovery. Took over 12 year to get back to pre-recession peak following the Great Recession -Skanda Amarnath

Only three more shows and a handful of tickets remain, for one show tonight and a matinee and evening show tomorrow, for our run of Allegiance in London! Oh, it’s been quite a run. Who’s going to grab these last ones? https://Allegiancemusical.com

Amazing Roman theater in Aspendos, in Anatolia (southern Turkey). The facility was built in the middle of the 2nd century CE, on a natural slope. This theater is the best-preserved ancient theater in Asia Minor. The building was able to accommodate 12,000 spectators. [798x532]

Kellyanne Conway doesn’t get enough credit for also being Eminem’s mom…

@jensclasen And as a German ex-colleague found out the hard way "Klaarkomen" in Dutch means to orgasm, so "Kom je klaar?" (closest sounding translation of "Kommst du klar?") means are you having an orgasm?

Enjoy MY language!

Good morning to alma peeps. It's a good Friday. I'm off for the next four days. I'm going to be retiling a shower. Something I've never done before. But first, breakfast with my wife and a friend. Hope everyone has a great day.

@StillIRise1963 After yesterday I want to have some fucker come up to me and whine about "white people have rights too" or some other bullshit. Last night I was sad, today I'm just very fucking angry. We have really serious problems that we have to fix. We need to quit talking and make change happen. NOW!

Doh!

GOP desperately trying to block this IRS funding!

Flush with $80 billion in new funding, the IRS is aiming to ramp up audits of wealthy taxpayers and large corporations.

The 150-page plan also includes a lengthy list of proposed changes intended to improve customer service, upgrade the agency’s notoriously outdated computer systems, boost hiring and even “explore making it easier” to file tax returns directly with the IRS for free.

Me: Why is the closet door open?

My smart ass wife: I was thinking about going back in.
