Which is why, after 55+ years, in spite of best efforts,
I'm still an on-again, off-again smoker...
I know, this has nothing to do with smoking - I've just always liked that little joke. Anyway, America saw the effects of 'the great resignation' beginning in 2020 and it's a trend that continues on. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics released data on which American states are seeing the most people leaving their jobs.
While the national average of people leaving their jobs is 2.8%, by January 2022, thirty-one states were above that. Alaska has the highest quit rate, 4.4%, followed by Georgia at 3.7%. New York had the lowest rate of people leaving, just 1.9%, followed by Massachusetts at 2.1% quit rate.
My question is, are guys like me included in that data? I sorta 'quit' last year when I just stopped working - not taking any more projects or new clients. I guess that makes me semi/mostly retired, but does it makes me a 'quitter'?

The Democratic National Committee has paid more than $15 million toward Harris 2024 campaign expenses in the first six months of 2025.
Why it matters: The continued payments and lackluster fundraising left the DNC with $65 million less cash on hand than the Republican National Committee at the end of July.

The famed Orgy Dome, one of Burning Man’s longest-running and most notorious attractions, was destroyed by high winds during a fierce storm in Black Rock City, organizers confirmed.
“Our build team worked so hard this past week to erect our lovely space,” read the group’s Instagram post on Monday, Aug. 25. “Unfortunately, the winds yesterday undid all that labor and wrecked our structure. We are still here and thankfully safe, we hope to gift the playa some workshops and will keep you updated.”

I think the cartoon with the donkey and hugging the crime scene tape is a reference to the democrats apparent comfort with violent crime, like a kid hugging his blanket.
ReplyDeleteMia Farrow is still alive? Who knew.

When she heard of the wedding , Ava Gardener said " I always knew Frank would wind up in bed with a boy "
DeleteI think if dear old Mia had spoken out against the sociopaths taking advantage of the Alzheimer's patient in the years preceding Trump, she might have an honest opinion. As is, she seems like just another partisan whore attempting to appear relevant by spewing the party line.
DeleteShe was trying to rob them so she could buy You a birthday present.
ReplyDeleteI think the cartoon with the donkey and hugging the crime scene tape refers to the fact that the Democrats are impervious to being held responsible for any criminal acts performed during the Biden years (they will not be prosecuted).
ReplyDeleteLooks a lot more like NC is #2 for job quitting, with GA only slightly behind at # 22...
ReplyDelete43° here in western ny this morning
ReplyDeleteCartoon is a take off on Linus with his security blanket. Dems feel better with lots of crime scenes around?
ReplyDeleteWith regard to your complaining about the low temps in Florida... were you not doing the opposite a few weeks ago with the unusually high temps? Maybe it's just me but isn't the changes simply called "weather"?
ReplyDeleteYou'll get rolled up in Peru for flushing tp. Don't want to know how they would know...
ReplyDeleteQuitting rates may be related to the availability of better work. NY is pathetic for jobs, esp upstate. NC is growing, so jumping ship to a better job is possible. Is it quitting on work or just the current job?
ReplyDeleteI thought we're not believing the US Bureau of Labor Statistics any more?
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to smoking. Don’t quit trying to quit. Also. Don’t tell anyone you’re trying to quit.
