Thinking of MAGA and their hero. Almost out of alcohol, next to no weed, just music, l and 1:30 PM into the Monday, December 30 afternoon. The year grinds on to climax. Absurdity in my world and the world writ large. I do not consume MSM so try in this fashion to stay well by not masking. All consuming fire inwardly.
I asked my Kasier Doc just what I had she said the Natural Blues. Kaiser can’t help.

Work at long last - 8 months wait for rehire-work for 4 months-and to not endure another 2024 tossing 200 resumes out for no response I smile and wonder what fable works. My rhetoric is aimed at an audience. Bay Area very upwardly mobile geeks who hire. Perfectionist conformist liberals. As a 50 year non-conformist at 67 a bit difficult. Ceci n'est pas une pipe, gentlemen it is a resume!
Well. I doubt better luck this year. The Treachery of Images bedevils me.
Mr. Employer I can talk to anyone and enjoy the sales chat and they too enjoy. My resume does not show otherwise. The river road is not straight and I Kaliforniacated follow it more or less to the Pacific. Hire me. Let me sell your product of pearls and chat it up, yes for your job shove it in the eyes of the swine to help them finally see.
Perfectionist liberalism has had a long march through the institutions. We see this in 2024 in the form of inculcation-curriculum- of the right liberal virtues and values. We the Educated, in order to correct the beliefs and practices of the parents of the children who attend school to be prepared for life, educate like McDonald’s teaching flipping meat, (one-patty size-fits-all and any-empty buns) -and defended as “While it is not cheaper you know than hiring bright learning people the same age as the student or a bit older to teach, studies show kids like getting minimum wage too, all studies show children learn better from the credentialed educated to bully.”
Perfectionist liberalism is akin to Dr. Pangloss in Candide. Pangloss is not neutral. “In the best of all possible worlds, everything is for the best!” Likely religious fanatics in government, like Secretary of the Interior James Watt firing people by praying with them that God guides him correctly, are more honest than the secular humbug. Frighteningly it is not “Mediocrity” holding us back as a nation of unemployed in the Great Depression gone upmarket. No the fault is in ourselves we are underlings of the Dis-Education complex.

I'm glad you found some work.
Enjoy the New Year.
Pangloss. Funny. Like Christians? Maybe I should read Candide. Was assigned in 7th grade, but it escaped me.
