Today IS My Birthday.

My current job must be getting pressure from the government because they keep sending me emails that they haven't received my documentation that I'm not going to send them . I applied for another job last week and they said no hire until I got vac proof so I sent them an email that I'll send them proof when the HR dept sends me their drivers licence so I can check their driving records .
That company said they have other applicants.
The Marxist in charge of Biden's illegal government is putting on the squeeze .

Don't know what to tell you.

I'd refuse. Calypso knows my history - maybe you do, too; I don't know how long ago you came in on the other site. But I quit CSX, just before the 2008 crash, when a manager - new to our territory, up from CSX Headquarters - shot his mouth off, once too often.

That was a scary thing; but I had resources. And in getting another job, in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, I had to box up, sell the house, go live in temporary arrangements...and there was no AirBnB back then.

And the Canadian National job didn't last long, either. And was equally full of grief - 72-hour notices to move, all over Wisconsin and Michigan and finally ordered into Chicago. Because with the business downturn, they wanted people to quit - we had layoff protection by contract. Nice in concept, but I wasn't going to work out of Chicago, live in a fleabag hotel, and maybe get shot.

I quit again. I still had resources - more, since I had sold the house.

And then, in South Dakota (DM&E, now defunct) and then Wisconsin again (short line, 72 hours a week, never told when my day off would be). Quit a FOURTH time. Still had resources.

Most people don't have that luxury; but this isn't just long hours. And I'll bet if I was still with The Washington Companies/Rail Link, I'd be ordered to get Jabbed. Dennis Washington, a crony-rich minor oligarch, is very into Political Correctness.

So...I wish you well; and do what you can to avoid that shot. Because this won't stop until enough people stand UP to these Medical Tyrants, with their quack medicine and their Junk Science, and say, NO.

I hope to be as strong as Casey one day. I've had these little....i'm gonna call them premonitions for lack of a better term, since my young days...and now i see the strong potential for them coming to fruition. I really don't want to go into the particulars but i'll just say......

1. has to do with a hospital and somewhat of a war going on 'outside'.

2. has to do with christians having to make a stand....i don't necessarily mean a 'war stand' but to be able to stand strongly and not deny God even if it comes to death.

I'm not strong. I have just been very (lucky? Blessed? You take your pick) lo these last twenty years. Fell into railroading. Had I not been at my parents' home the Christmas weekend that Conrail was advertising for candidates, I'd have never gotten in there. And that was an odd misfortune that turned out to be serendipity, because my employer at the time, Sperry Rail Services (tested railroad track) forced me to take vacation - after I'd asked to work over the holiday. They sprung it on me with two days to plan, that I was on vacation for Christmas - and if I stayed at the hotel the company was using, I'd have to pay the nightly cost.

So I angrily flew to my parents' home. Because I had given up my own apartment - I was on the road with Sperry 100 percent of my time.

So...good fortune all along. I got in. I made money. I got to know Unca Walt - remember him, CJ? He's still around, but he doesn't go to political boards anymore. He's over at Gold-Is-Money these days; and he's...well, a lot older, we all are, but in good health.

Unca Walt taught me about gold. That's TREMENDOUS benefit right now - because my finances are dark to the IRS. I paid taxes on my money and it disappeared. It's in my safe; and I don't declare it when the VA or other nosy parkers ask me to declare financial assets.

On paper I'm almost officially poor, with my pension income. In the safe, I have more savings than 90 percent of America.

But it was all luck, you see. Hurting my back, along with my spine and hip issues...can't call them luck, but if I was still driving trains, I'd be Jabbed. And maybe dead, because of my co-morbidity issues.

I'd be fatter, too, because I'd not be eating right.

So...what Higher Power there is, has been looking after me. That's not strength; that's something good that can't be accounted by crapshoots.

Now I'm also situated to where I can quietly roll into the desert or mountains. I wonder what the Higher Power has planned for me, when I do that, avoiding the Mass-Jab.

Ever watched ""The hills have eyes"" lol

No reason why they would take special interest in me.

At some point, they can watch and do nothing. They don't have the power or ability to figure out who matters and who doesn't...they won't have the ability even to feed themselves or keep the lights on.
