Sorry, I was in the middle of posting this and got distracted. Somehow I hit the Post button. Just now back on DU

Here is what I intended to add:

Have you ever stopped in your tracks and asked yourself, “Who would buy a product like this?” You’re not the only one. Some products are overpriced and overrated even though they make no sense to the rest of us.

Do you have some products in mind that only gullible people would be willing to pay for? Check out this list.

#%!? declared ‘food for all’ in post-arrest stop at Miami cafe – but reportedly skipped bill

Alex Wagner shares reporting from the Miami New Times that despite promising out loud, on camera, "food for everyone," Donald Trump did not stick around at a restaurant campaign stop long enough for anyone to get food, illustrating a trait that is also getting in the way of Trump's ability to obtain legal counsel. Joyce Vance, former U.S. attorney, explains why this is a bad time in a bad case for Trump to have lawyer problems.

So I recently changed jobs, now a former coworker is stalking me

At 64 I changed jobs, in part, because the place I was working had become a toxic situation.
So I started looking and found a better paying job, a new adventure and a better environment.

Funny thing happened, the very person who was the biggest pain in the a$$ and big part of why I moved on now checks my LinkedIn profile every 3 hours.

I posted my change on there, don’t know what he is looking for. Must be separation anxiety.

I don’t know if I should appreciate the attention or fear for my life. When I left, I took a huge bank of knowledge with me, something the company took for granted until I turned in my notice.

Judge recuses himself from Disney suit against DeSantis and accuses governor of 'rank judge-shopping

Judge recuses himself from Disney suit against DeSantis and accuses governor of 'rank judge-shopping'

A federal judge in Florida overseeing Walt Disney Co.'s lawsuit against GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis recused himself Thursday, saying he has a relative who owns Disney stock and could be affected by the case's outcome.

In a filing in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, Judge Mark E. Walker, who was nominated by President Barack Obama, responded to a motion by DeSantis' legal team requesting he remove himself from the case.


"Defendants seek to disqualify me from presiding over this case because, in their view, questions I have asked in previous, related cases raise substantial doubts about my impartiality," Walker wrote.

Walker, however, said the DeSantis team's motion was "based on a misapprehension of the law and a misstatement of the facts." The judge said the motion cited cases "for their convenient language without acknowledging the chasm between my statements in this case and the conduct at issue in those cases."

Super excited tonight, I received an oral job offer this evening

Long story short, I have spent 5 years for a company that has over time grown more and more toxic.

When I took the job, I thought it would take me into retirement. It became so toxic, that I had to do something.
Once I started looking, I started getting calls from recruiters and one turned into an interview.
I nailed the interview. I knew I nailed it when I left that day.

Between that day and the offer I recieved, i was called into the office and berated in front of a coworker because somehow it was my fault the coworker didn't share information I needed to do my job. I sat there tight lipped and all I could think about was about the interview. Even today the manager showed little respect.

Now I get to turn in my notice. I can hardly contain myself. I have gone 5 years with no performance review or a raise.

Now I just have to fight the urge to give them a tube of KY with my resignation, because when I leave, they will be left with one engineer who has neither the experience or knowledge of the business. I will probably not, but it makes me feel good thinking about it.
