Raccoon are carriers of Baylisascaris infection it is caused by a roundworm found in raccoons that can infect people and other animals. It can cause serious complications if it invades the eye, organs or brain. I wouldn't feed my animals raccoon. And I wouldn't eat it either. But that is me.
I got notice of Jury duty for early spring time. Hopefully I will be able to get out of it , it's baby season for me.Skated on jury duty. Phew! Not that I don’t appreciate the necessity of my civic duty, but I sure never actually want to do it. They took about a hundred people and didn’t call me.
So I got my allergy shots rather than being stuck in the jury room, and spent the rest of the day doing a bit of cleaning, filled up the car, got foiled on getting it washed because the car wash was down, and working on finishing up some minis to gift the family for Christmas. (I’m way ahead, I know, but crafting takes time. Besides, I still had Christmas spirit rolling when I started.)
Tomorrow will be gym and PT and more cleaning, and Thursday will involve finding another arborist, because $3K to trim trees is yikes.
yes we do! We compost it, then put it on the gardens and have awesome soil in a area where the natural soil is hard clay
DH has Ajagbe. Don't use him! If there was another one local, we would switch.
I wish more people would consider getting a colonoscopy. It saves so many lives. I just wish my sister would have listened to me!
Don’t do the supervision jobYesterday I worked downtown, spoke with my supervisor who has been away since last June doing another job. They were given the job permanent like and won't be coming back. They realize that I have been doing doing their job and mine for over 8 months now, and hope that I will apply when the supervisor job opens up...in a few months. But until then, I need to keep doing both jobs.
I'm getting ready to start traveling again so I need to finish all my automation projects around the house.
Next month I will be spending a week down in @Bacpacker 's country, now that could be interesting.
They found an ulcer
Hope we get a chance to have a face to face while you are down here.Yesterday I worked downtown, spoke with my supervisor who has been away since last June doing another job.

The supervisor job title always looks good on a resume. I generally wouldn't hire someone who stayed on the same job too long without advancing.
Yeah, BUT. I was a "Senior researcher" from 1996 till I retired in 2015. Had a ton of roles, I was a "global project manager / Global Material Developer" for the last 17 years, I turned down a
load of "promotions", you get the title, the headaches, but no more money, or no OT. I stuck with a Hourly Non exempt employee, and retired at 55.
Similarly here. I rose to senior ... Architect and was stuck for 15 years or so until I retired because there was no higher designation.Yeah, BUT. I was a "Senior researcher" from 1996 till I retired in 2015. Had a ton of roles, I was a "global project manager / Global Material Developer" for the last 10 years, I turned down a
My manager wouldn't let me work overtime after she saw my hourly rate for OT
For the last 8 years I have had 4 "Official" Job titles (at the same time) and have received lots of raises and am pretty much topped out my pay scale (no more promotion potential). I have 17 years on the job (I have 29 years working for this organization) and will be retiring in 4 no matter what. During my time as "Acting" supervisor (5th job title) I have enjoyed the strategic planning and have been able to keep up with all of my other duties. If I were to become the Official Supervisor, it would come with a promotion and I would have to unload most of my other roles. I'm a pretty plain and stable working stiff who just manages to get the job done on time with the available resources. At any given time I usually manage about 25 active projects, so I stay busy enough. I don't like being micro-managed and if I were to let someone else take the Supervisor position they would most likely make the end of my career a miserable tug of war, (everyone thinks that their opinion is the only way to do things). On the other hand, I have always wanted to have my career peak right at the very end, so taking that position would keep me on that trajectory.
No, I assume that my next "resume" will be written in stone...I went as high as I could go as a mechanic, machinist, welder, fabricator & safety inspector. You could not give me twice what my supervisor made to do his job. He was between a rock & a hard place. With 150 to 200 hours of over time, I made close what he made with out the pain.
On my way........
I dumpster dive
