  • Yes, hi, we do exist. And we were trying to get CEO to implement a hybrid policy for years before covid. He hated the thought. And he was the type of person that would not hesitate to fire an entire department if they felt bold enough to complain about it. When I started there, I didn’t immediately report to him. Anyone there who had a layer of management between themselves and him had a pretty ok work experience there. Direct reports to CEO basically had to manage a toddler who was also the emporor with new clothes. I took the promotion to be his whipping post because I wanted to leverage it to move on. Instead now I have PTSD from an abusive boss and am not able to work full time.

    tl;dr – the C suite does discuss things amongst themselves with and without the CEO. But CEO already knows what they want to do, usually can’t be swayed, can only be warned what the consequences of their decisions will bring.


  • I just spent a few days sitting with my FIL in hospital. We binged Gunsmoke. I am a reluctant fan of Festus now.

    • do they have you scheduled for any sight-seeing like CT or MRI scans?
    • can you order UberEats to your room? I watched them come and go frequently and wondered if it was for employees, inmates, or both
    • do you ask all the nurses for crunchy ice?
    • have you asked that one nurse for a bed bath?
    • are most of the nurses pregnant like they were at my hospital? Wtf is in the water?!









  • I would run mine somewhere between 24-36 hours. I have an old cooler that I use (don’t use one you actually like because the extended heat exposure warped the cooler walls some lol). I have a cheapo stick circulator that I picked up at Aldi for $25 over 10 years ago. I haven’t seen the sense in getting a Joule or fancy set up.

    I cover the cooler with aluminum foil because plastic wrap would not hold up. Then I blanket my little DIY pork bath in a beach towel to help cut down on evaporation loss.

    The recipe that I used before suggested broiling it to finish. But like you, I now have a wall oven that can do convection. So I’d like to try it at 550 and see how that turns out.
