I have a job I mostly like at a company I mostly like with a boss I mostly like.
I still want to stab myself on Monday mornings.
When circumstances allow, I try to use Monday to tie up loose ends from the prior week and plan/prepare for actions I need to take in the upcoming week. It's justifiable "real work" that helps me be more effective on the rest of those days, but it lets me ease into the week a bit.
Some weeks this isn't possible and I have to jump right into Monday like it's Tuesday. The upshot is those Mondays go by pretty fast usually.
I recognize that for certain kinds of jobs that's never an option. I've had those kinds of jobs, and I may again one day. Folks with a job like that have my sympathy for sure.
Well, we all know that maga will believe literally anything so long as it paints democrats as responsible for all the evils in the world. I'm quite sure this is being recited as fact even as we speak.
If Trump doesn't believe her, then even from his demented perspective she shouldn't have the job. So which is it Donald? Does she ah, merit her position of authority and influence, or does she not?
Maybe they were just way more lax about it in the Navy. When it came to marching, in my experience they barely gave a fuck.
I was also USN, but it occurred to me after reading your post that maybe (I'm effing old) they do care about it less now than when I was in. To be clear - I too never marched after boot camp and A school, but if I'd been ordered to go be in a parade I'm sure we could have pulled it off.
No worries dude, it doesn’t feel like you’re jumping on me.
Thanks! 🙂 And do you still cringe when you hear someone say "Hey Shipmate?" It's been decades and I do!
I know this from experience. Perfect formation marching must be drilled constantly. The US military does not waste its time with it because it is useless beyond Basic Training.
As do I. There is no active duty enlisted person not capable of marching down a street in step in a reasonably square block. (And I would assume this also true for officers but I wouldn't know that.)
We're not talking about doing a halftime show in a marching band. It takes an hour of instruction and practice to do it reasonably well.
Sorry if it seems like I'm jumping on you, but I'm stunned at the number of folks scratching their heads like they aren't sure if the soldiers were intentionally out of step or not, and you are just the first one I've replied to. They were intentionally out of step.
the performer will develop prototype frontier AI capabilities to address critical national security challenges in both warfighting and enterprise domains.
So they want to let the plagiarism-machine conduct war now? Cool cool cool.
