Rumblings

  • I didn’t expect to have “Being OK with Germany ramping up their defense spending and manufacturing” on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are.
  • The job search continues.
    • Applying for IT jobs as they come across the dashboard. The less said about that, the better.
    • Got an email this morning asking if I’d be interested in applying to be a uniformed Secret Service officer in Washington, D.C. The salary range they gave was quite good for Kentucky, but would have me living in a rented broom closet in rural Virginia and eating day-old Circle K hot dogs in the D.C area.
    • “Must be willing to temporarily relocate to an undisclosed overseas location” does not make for good feelings on the part of someone who’s walked down that particular trail before.
  • Had another line of thunderboomers come through last night. Ellie the beagle/lab mix cowered under the blankets and required reassurance that the world was not ending. Sophie, the beagle/dachshund mix, stood at the window and raved at the gods, daring them to try to end the world on her watch. Moonshine, the hound emeritus, slept through the whole thing.

      Eh, if I was younger and didn’t have a family, I’d consider it. If for nothing else, I’d be witness to some ‘interesting times’ firsthand.
