Sorry @Josie, you are no Elon Musk. Donald doesn’t know you, doesn’t want to know you, and certainly isn’t interested in empowering you to control the employment of others.
 
1. I finally got (student's name) to understand that, yes, that is the letter p and the letter o and the letter t, but those letters have sounds. When you blend those sounds together....... *light bulb moment*

2. I called (student's name)'s mother to let her know that her child has been doing extremely well in my class and will be getting recognized at our schoolwide assembly coming up and the family is all invited.

3. I created my lesson plans and turned them in on time.

4. I signed up for a workshop on teaching math more effectively because that's an area I need improvement.

5. I took it upon myself to create something for the entire school to use next year which will help the school day flow more easily.

These all seem like activities that an AI will be able to do better and at a lower cost in the next few years.
 
1.Coached a cook into dramatically improved work performance ( the results of 4 weeks work, came to fruition this week) He's not getting fired!
2. Improved service issues in the Dining Room post resident complaints.
3. Made a great pineapple cake, baked salmon, lemon chicken per resident feedback
4. Created two weeks of work schedules withone cook on vacation each week, and remarkably little overtime (in theory, we'll see if it actually works)
5. Sat with Resident X, with worsening symptoms of MS, and figured out how to improve her intake and meal enjoyment with adaptive equipment, preferences and meal size

Its a good thing I am not writing a list of screw - ups and failures alongside this.

1. I don't report to Elon Musk.
2. Threatening my job in the federal government unless I jump through hoops like providing a bullet list on my duties for a week is an undeserved tyranny not even the private sector has to endure.
3. Elon Musk is a private citizen without a security clearance.
4. The access he has gained to government databases (if true) is illegal.
5. Firing a government employee doesn't mean they won't return.

I remember a few things, one of which...
Guy walks into SICU, points to a bed and told his wife "this is where I died a few times"
I'm retired, so there.
We are all a part of a bigger picture, the sooner we realize it, the better off we are. Our worth isn't measured in $ or rand.

Best of luck with it.
 
I messed around. I’m retired. Everybody who makes stuff up here, inflates minor stuff, and didn’t send me money is fired. No, I have no authority to do this, and whoever withheld that authority should be fired too. And now, back to doing nothing. It’s a fact that I do nothing better than anybody else… Hang on. That didn’t come out exactly right. Lemme think about it.

1. Went to the VFW. The ladies were very nice. They gave me a sack lunch. The guys...well, they are my brothers. We sat around drinking (coffee, in my case) and basically talked a lot of shit about liberals.

2. Went to my friend's church for supper. (I do that every week) Met and talked to a lot of friends. And, even though I'm not religious at all, I was respectful when they gave thanks before the meal.

3. We had a couple days of snow and really cold temps. I stayed inside. In my underwear.

4. Spent way too many hours on DP.

5. Reflected on how I still have my health and how life is good.

Go ahead...fire me.

The shareholders of Tesla should send an email like this to Musk. Given how much time he is wasting with DOGE, he clearly isn’t working for Tesla and definitely not enough to justify his salary.

That’s not how shit works lol. The boss gets to do whatever he or she wants to do. He can twiddle his thumbs all day if he chooses.

You didn’t read the email did you?

“Consistent with President trumps instructions”

This is not coming from Musk. It is coming from his employer his boss. The boss wants to know if you are necessary and worth your pay. Like any real employee across the country if you ain’t worth the pay you don’t have a job. You know in the real world and not the fantasy known as a government job.
 
I think there are going to be a lot of unemployed neo-leftists in the next few months. The real question to ask is who is going to hire worthless neo-leftists? I mean, come on, no one wants to hire a toxic neo-leftist who spends their entire day posting Trump Hate on social media instead of working, and then if you fire them they sue you. My advice for the neo-leftists is to start scoping out and claiming the best spot on the sidewalk for your tent.
 
I opened my store and put the guns in the showcases. Dealt with the ATF on a gun trace, that was fun. Lined up a vacation schedule. Helped multiple customers. Yelled at an employee for being late again. Ordered holsters, ammunition, and other accessories. Checked online accounts for any questions or sales. Completed a multiple sale of handguns form (which sucks). Paid some bills (which sucks more). Took out the trash. Cleaned the showcase tops. Vacuumed the carpet runners. Answered about 1 million phone calls. Cussed out 3 indian telephone solicitors one of which cussed me back (most fun of the day). Sold a woman a revolver after spending 30 minutes listening to how she felt afraid now that her husband had passed away. Was really sad actually. Took a 20 minute shit that was only 5 minutes of shitting and 15 minutes of sitting and typing on DP lol. I needed a break from everything going on. Oh I went to the bank as the drawer was low.

This was during a 6 hour shift.

After I left I got 5 or 6 phone calls from the guys. Can’t find this. How low can we go on that. I need off next Tuesday. The ones I remember.

I haven’t gotten to the level of being able to twiddle my thumbs yet. When I do, I have earned it just like Musk.

Or change your ways and become a productive member of a business and earn your keep.

How many neo-leftists do you know that are capable of changing their ways? They would rather become homeless than stop their war against everyone else who isn't a devout neo-leftist.

Elon does have a Top Secret security clearance for SpaceX as they have government contracts.

Why Elon Musk doesn't have access to all of SpaceX's top secret work: report

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's security clearance level precludes him from accessing some of the company's most sensitive national security programs, according to a new report.
