The Old Farmer's Almanac says Cat Nights begin tomorrow, the date on which, according to Irish folklore, a witch will turn into a cat for the ninth time, but fail to return to human form (hence the nine lives idiom).

I just want folks to respect each other, that goes for each other's time and money as well. Be a good employee that the company wants to keep, be a good employer that employees want to work for.

Good idea. I was a Teamster for years and years, and like to say "any company that has a union deserves it" meaning 99% of unions were formed as a result of management. I also observed that in most companies, the employer will pay just enough so the employees won't go somewhere else, and the employees will only do enough work to not get fired.

Agree wholeheartedly. A company doesn't form a union unless the employees have already decided the risk of getting fired is worth it. I would not support a union at my current job. The job is good enough and I have a mortgage to worry about. 2 jobs ago though, I would have been passing around the petition had a union organizer reached out to me.

I had a couple of those, both needed to have their frames replaced at , Toyota's expense.

On Apple+, if you have it, Slow Horses is a superb 6-episode thriller about MI5 and an internal snafu. Gary Oldham is one of my favorite actors and he leads a cast of great performances.
