Hoos --
How did your moms meet?
-the 1p3 Community
-- roxymuzak, Thursday, March 13, 2008 2:44 AM
Dear the 1p3 Community,
My moms worked down the hall from each other in a Coca-Cola Corp office in the early 90s. Biological mom worked in marketing, mom's soon-to-be gf worked switchboard. After school in like grade 2 I would go sit on switchboard mom's lap & work on my math homework while she transferred calls around. There was divorce b/w Mom & Dad, yada yada, Moms (or "Mom & Veronica," as they're referred to around Dad) had "the talk" with me like 7 years ago ("So...if you have any questions...?" "No! No I do not."), and that's that story.

-- The Reverend, Thursday, March 13, 2008 3:00 AM
Dear The Goodly Reverend,
I am partial to "Thanks Big Hoos" only because it features Hip Hop Harry, and because it was a complete surprise the first time I saw it. "Hard Out Here" was in the midst of some hardcore clowning and I didn't get as much of a kick out of it initially.
tchaboy!

I'm sending out resumes to some web marketing companies cause I really don't see myself with a career in the hospitality industry. I've heard some horror stories baout fickle web companies firing a dude right before he can get unemployment, so I'm making sure I've got two or three diff income streams regardless of what the 9-5 is. Trying to freelance and save up a personal unemployment fund in case some shit goes down. (lol I threw up a diagram of all this shit on my twitter)
The eventual "career" goal is to teach & write, but I gotta kill a couple years before I can get to work on that (long story). Maybe teach high school, maybe go for the MFA and teach college. Cross that bridge when I get to it.

oh i didn't see that this was already being discussed on the politics thread
― flopson, Friday, 12 June 2015 20:28 (nine years ago) link
oh hey sorry hadn't seen this
so some broader context
TAA as it was being presented in this bill was essentially shit--this bill massively underfunded it because that's the only way it would ever have a chance in the GOP led house. TAA is great and necessary--this TAA bill was a joke, and attaching it to Fast Track was a cynical white house-driven maneuver to try to ensure TPA's passage. our leg people are confident that there will be another, better shot at TAA before the summer is out.
republicans have this pattern--not just with TAA obv but with "government services in general"--of defunding programs to the point of crippling their capabilities, then claiming that they don't work. that's what they've held with TAA for years: cut, then claim its broken. we know it works when its funded, and we shouldn't have to cut medicare to pay for it, which is part of what they were pushing on this as well.
but in short our position is there's gonna be another shot at TAA, and beating TPA was big enough to take that gamble.
