Workplace
Mask Pretty
I have noticed an interesting phenomenon with our new normal. For those of you who have stubbornly refused to wear a mask once during the last two years of Covid restrictions, you might have missed out something that began to notice at least one year into things. So, your loss...and maybe my gain?

The Eighties Disillusionment
We all had dreams in college. We wanted to graduate, get a good job, work, and play. When I was in college in the late 70s that was the expectation of every student. With a BA I thought that I could at least get a job as a Federal Employee, which included a 40 hour week with weekends off, vacation pay, sick pay, and a pension I would receive after 20 years of working there.

Preludes to my red pill as a data scientist.
It took me a long process of reflection and self-adjustment to transcend all that. In this article, I detail the course of my first five years of experience, which started with grotesque innocence and led me to a satisfying form of maturity at the end.

Thank God for His presents
God take control of the wheel My story at the beginning of January 28,2022. I drove to St. louis from New York with my 2 1/2 year old son. The trip was 16 hours but it was great. I just got transfer from New York Bronz VA to work at the Jefferson barracks VA in St. Louis. My new hire orentation start on January 31, 2022. Even though the weather was cold and weird. I've been driving down west 270 to 255 east every day for my job. On February 2, 2022 the snowstorm started up. I drove without no problems and got to work fine. By February 3, 2022 the snow and ice was badly coming down. Thinking the drive will be smooth, but yet cautious traveling. I haven't been here less than week. When on February 3, 2022 the second day of the St. Louis snowstorm. Before I drove I ask God to take control of the wheel. I drove from Florissant, Mo to Jefferson barracks hospital. For the MDOT of St. Louis county didn't salt or plow the highway. So it was like driving on an ice skating rink. Since this was my fourth day of training. I was getting off on kosch Rd. to go to work at Jefferson Barracks Va. When my 2020 Chevy Trax AWD hit a patch of ice at 20 mph. I slid sideways into the exit sign on east 255 and exit 2 koch rd. Instantly as hit the sign My side airbags on driver and passenger deployed. My driver seat and the rear sear behind the driver deployed. I was slightly shooking and angry when everything happen. My Onstar instantly chime asking if i was ok. I told them i'm alright. For the sit belt didn't want to unlatch do to the impact. Only window that busted was the driver side. Chevy has built very good and safe vehicle. For none of the glass fell on me. Due to the side airbag deflecting it downward to the floor. I climb out over the passenger seat to exit the vehicle. For it was freezing outside and when i step out i almost slip on the ice. One of the St. louis county officers pulled up just check to see if im alright. While also I'm watching some my employees drive on by to work. Not even thirty minutes the tow truck MDOT showed up. to make sure every thing was okay. Having full coverage on your vehicle pays off. It took less than 30 minutes for the tow truck. It was from miner towing which gave me lift to their shop. My insurance company USSA made sure that i had a rental for the next day of traveling. I had to miss a day of work. Which was fine, but I'm glad I thank God I wasn't seriously injure. For the journey on trenchous highway that day. I only made it because God was in control of the wheel. I thank God that my son wasn't traveling with me that day. Sometimes in our life when things happen, rather good/or bad he always make a way. Thats why its best to stay prayed up. Even though my vehicle could of been fix. My insurance company total it. For the damage was to much of a cost. I can say that truck got plenty of memories for only been a year 3 months old. I done drove her from new york to new orleans, from new york to memphis, and new york to st. louis. Brought her back without problems. Just this last trip from new york to st. louis ended her run with me. How so sad my good truck gone.

The End of an Error
It has been some time since I have written here. I look back at my ninety-plus stories here and wonder what it all will lead to; how far I can go with these ideas and basic brain droppings. There are other pages I contribute to, and I have other responsibilities and ideas in front of me. But I cannot ignore something that has happened recently at my place of work. I cannot just sit here and head into another weekend with papers to mark, laundry to clean and my general routine when I have free time.

Look like the flower
Restaurants are truly such an interesting place to be. There is so much more going on than what meets the eye. It can be more than where a person goes to earn money to make a living. Yes, it's a job, but in my 15 years in the food service industry it has been so much more than that. I've learned lessons, partied my ass off, made mistakes, made lots of money, made lots of friends, maybe even some enemies I don't know about. I've learned lots of skills, good and bad. How to be patient, forgiving, humble, assertive. How to be manipulative, how to be fake , how to read people, how to get what I want. How to look like the flower, but be the serpent under it.

Personal Trainer: to become or not to become?
I'm fully aware you'll find plenty of these types of articles dotted around the internet but knowledge is power, right? It also might help you to know that I'm not bothered whether or not you decide to - I'm happy for you whatever you choose - and I'm not being endorsed or sponsored to write this.

I hate working 9-5 & being productive.
This is honestly just a rant on why I don't want to spend the rest of my life, doing something I completely hate to survive. It's not me feeling entitled, I just generally believe working these jobs is tiresome, damaging to mental health, and wastes people's time.

Prabhadevi-Lavish Lifestyle In Mumbai's Top Desirable Neighborhood
Remarkable Place:- Prabhadevi is the spot to endure that you want wide roads, vegetation any spot all through you, and shores. Prabhadevi is inclined toward the west by the Arabian Sea, on the south by Worli, and on the north by Dadar. It requires only minutes to go from Prabhadevi to any area in Mumbai or the rest of the world. Transportation will take up a little piece of your day, by uprightness of the closeness of the general air terminal and the gigantic spot of Prabhadevi in the trait of mix of Mumbai. Dadar, Mumbai's reliably clamoring locale, is as per a valid perspective a few kilometers away.
