You spell “food” funny.

It is the standard.

How are the lawsuits against the church going?

ITT: American HR vs the world.

“Make it easy to build new houses” seems to be a mix between

• let’s not have so many pesky building codes
• let’s make way more shitty wood-frame bungalows - aka the least effective for infrastructure - because all cities should go bankrupt like Detroit

… and I’m not sure which one this is.

This is true.

Look, the moment you know you need a new job, you’re done at the current shop. So get looking.

I see that in the bad spots, though – people are looking but not landing a new post, so they cope by doing the minimums, peacing out on the dot and getting their sleep. They no longer care about the success of the company, and while that’s admirable, it’s a social issue to abandon the tribe and it can eat on people.

I’m so happy when they land a new post, happier still if I do before I just … stop going. And that’s what I do: I lose interest in going if I can’t find a new post within the year I usually allow (I’m picky).

This last move I told my boss he had a year. It was like 13 months.

I had a miserably toxic job, and, yeah, I know that pit of despair and what it does to our decisions. I opened the search to the world, but came up with a domestic job about 3000mi away.

I grabbed the go-bag and all but bugged the fuck out, quitting on a Thursday, boarding a plane on a Friday and starting my new job on the Monday. She sold the house, got the movers (fuck moving) and shepherded all our worldlies to the new place. She’s not military but she faked it really well.
