So I worked for someone who worked with the c suite and more than once I heard a comment about how they were told are not to socialize below director level. Asses until they need something done and anyone who knows shit has quit so they’re fucked and have to start being nice to people.

Vibe me in

Seems like there is another use for that app but I can quite put my hand on it

You look fantastic

I’d recommend east of Eden and winter of our discontent as well. Especially the latter if you’re in the US.

Grapes of Wrath. Good catch!

But if you read Steinbeck you might have a spark of empathy or introspection and we can’t have that. Or even have thoughts about socialism, gasp! God forbid.

“The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all,” Steinbeck wrote. “Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground…a million people hungry, needing the fruit — and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains.”

That’s The Blues

The phrase “the blues” was written by Charlotte Forten, then aged 25, in her diary on December 14, 1862. She was a free-born black woman from Pennsylvania who was working as a schoolteacher in South Carolina, instructing both slaves and freedmen, and wrote that she “came home with the blues” because she felt lonesome and pitied herself. She overcame her depression and later noted a number of songs, such as “Poor Rosy”, that were popular among the slaves. Although she admitted being unable to describe the manner of singing she heard, Forten wrote that the songs “can’t be sung without a full heart and a troubled spirit”, conditions that have inspired countless blues songs.
