Since I'm rearranging my life, I'll be quitting $EMPLOYER pretty quickly. I had intended to wait until I have a replacement, but I think it is better to change everything at once and walk away now.
!SoCal storm has arrived. Plenty of rain in the #Inland_Empire. The pass was both foggy and rainy, with lots of big rigs splashing water onto windshields.
There is a lake at the end of the street. This area of !SoCal did not get anywhere near the rain that the #Los_Angeles area got, but it is still a poor drainage zone.
@clacke At least FR is seven hours later, not earlier. If I'm working in #SoCal and I send e-mail to someone in Washington DC, three hours ahead, I need to send it before noon my time or I may miss the person.
I remember walking home from work with one of my brothers in the 1980s as helicopters π sprayed malathion laced bait overhead because of an infestation of Mediterranean fruit flies πͺ°.
@clacke Are you watching a movie or the "Arrow" TV series? #sonTwo used to watch Arrow (so much that he streamed it when he visited #SoCal from his then-current home in #FL).
I don't think that's the show that the dog got its name from though. I think that was some other series.
I also recall that when #sonTwo was in high school, he found an article in which #SoCal theme parks (including #Disneyland, which was mentioned as being known for its low pay) were building apartment buildings for their employees to live in because their pay was insufficient to pay then-current rental rates.
I'm not saying this to disparage #Disney. I get it. Theme parks are a service business and the easiest way to make them profitable is to constrain labor costs. But you know, pay down your debt, so you can use some of your current interest payments to pay your employees a decent wage.
Killer attacking #Los_Angeles homeless while they sleep. Reminds me of #NYC killer who killed two at a corner wher #sonOne and I passed a week earlier. !SoCal
Baldwin Park is along the #I-10 east of #Los_Angeles. I used to hear regular reports of slowdowns on the freeway in that area due to "police activity".
Fire shuts down the #I-10 in #Los_Angeles indefinitely until CDoT / #CalTrans can evaluate possible damage to the concrete. Governor Newsom declares emergency. !SoCal
Because it is so destructive to agriculture, #California dept of food and agriculture will be releasing 250K sterile male medflies per week to try and prevent reproduction. I remember walking home at night with one of my brothers after work while helicopters were spraying malathion laced bait to stop an infestation of Mediterranean fruit flies in the #SGV San Gabriel Valley.
