The Evil Dr. Longshadow

That all depends on who you ask. Casinos have a nasty habit of getting rid of bad employees before they finish their first year. I've worked through nine department heads and a long parade of different supervisors. I've seen senior management and even ownershilp come and go during my time there. I guess none of them noticed anything wrong.

There are people who would have actually preferred the dumpster. Anyway, the next job only lasted a year before I joined the union and got the casino job.

You forgot his kite snd key

I don't know what the stuff on the sides is, but the face in the middle is definately Charles Bronson.

Right here and now... (Atlantic City) Pounding rain with strong gusts. Flash flood warnings, tornado warnings and all that other hooty hoo that seems to go along with summer torrents. Let me see if it all stays here longer than two hours. If not, it won't do anything but raise the humidity.

I lost some weight...

I think he's just here for the little thumb stickers.

Sheeze... You hate me... and you don't seem to like any viable politicians either. Is there anybody, anywhere in the world that you like, besides whoever gives you some likes in here?

I once had a much different job that didn't involve a casino or a union. So, I just worked as and when assigned. Sometimes, I was on the padding press. Other times, it was the coalator, the reem cutter or just running the postal meter. That job totally sucked ass. It barely paid enough to cover my room rental. But, it was either that or just sleep behind somebody's dumpster. So, I was only there for the paycheck, biding my time until I found a job that paid more.

Yay, no more white socks going grey on the airport rug.

Not much difference at all between Harris and Biden.

Doing things that you would sometimes rather not be doing is all part of being an adult, but I wouldn't expect you to see that.

So, you're voting way, way down ticket. How about the Workers World Party?

The trash gig had me running through the entire casino hotel complex. Various offices, the retail spaces, around the gaming floor, through the convention spaces and more. That's job variety. Rarely boring. Let another guy stare at dirty toilets all evening.

I heard Musk is going to be looking for votes.

No, Emptying trash cans was what I had signed up to do, according to a seniority based bidding process. Somebody else bid for the toilets and so, that was his job, not mine.

But do they do the Boom Shaka Laka?

Not for the commentary below the link.

Oh, you must be a maga bot.

So's Biden

Kirk? Was that published alongside Benjamin Spock? This practically sells itself. It's a whole new enterprise.

Hey, when anybody asks for "proof" of anything, there will always be occasions when the internet has either not caught up yet or worse, is being scrubbed. So, direct observation becomes king. If I say that most pigeons can fly, you don't really need a link for proof. Just get off the sofa, go to where the pigeons are and watch what they do. Too many people don't get that. This person I mention is just one example.

Really? It's not about the paycheck? Good, because I'm just here to hang out and play on my phone. Got any pizza?

Oh, they used to get all the help they needed. But that was back when involuntary psychiatric commitment was a thing. The streets were a lot safer and cleaner then. Notice that every major city in America now has a similar district?
