My financial advisor has been telling me for a year that the market would take a dive. The data didn't support the market. all the indicators pointed to this dip. He took me out of the market at the end of the year. Says we will get back in when the market adjusts.

I wouldn’t own one. I am 100% with Musk on the DOGE. I am looking into the starlink internet though.

I think the issue is that status reports tend to be for your direct supervisor who knows your work, not someone several echelons away from your work who is expressly just looking for convenient ways to terminate people.
This is wrong.
I get status of the people I am over. I report our status to leadership. If I need someone to help with another project, this Helps to see who has some band width. Has nothing to do with trying to fire someone. It’s about smart leadership keeping up with work going on.

Don’t know why there is a. Issue with this. I have to give weekly status reports. Been like that for 20 years. What we did, what’s on for next week and any issues. Standard working procedures.

Back in 2009 I was working on a state project. About halfway through the project John Kennedy (Treasurer at the time) decided to look at state funding. The project scope was cut significantly, and I was let go. The economy was in bad shape. I was without a job for 3 months. I was able to work some part time work so I didn't have to go on unemployment.
The experience made me look at ways to make myself more valuable. I have since doubled my salary. If I were to lose my job again, I have made enough connections I could be back working within a couple of weeks.
I do feel bad for these people, but we are not entitled to a job. Life is sometimes hard and how you adapt is what makes a person better or worse.

If you mean both sides in Washington, I somewhat agree. The people know both sides are part of the swamp. We .at least myself, want all the fraud and corruption exposed. I don’t care which side. It’s time to put an end to all the corruption.

Our slate is loaded Saturday. Has anyone ever driven in late for a game?
I have parking pass. I’d imagine traffic would be better as long as I get there before all the fans who leave at halftime. ??
2016 I think when Ole Miss was top 5, drove in from Thibodaux and got to campus about 45 minutes before kick-off. Had a parking pass also and drove right in, parked and in my seat for kick-off. I came Highway 30 from Gonzales area and didn't have any traffic.
I now live walking distance and traffic eases up about an hour before.
I think you will be ok coming in about that time. Only traffic you might see is those tailgaters not going to the game heading home to watch.

I work with some Aggie’s. No one wants to talk trash like previous years. I think both respect what each is doing. Kind of sick really. Like it more when we are trash talking.
re: Competition: who went to the furthest back in time LSU home, neutral, and away game?
Posted by HeavyD on 10/5/24 at 11:52 am
Neutral was in Dallas
Away game was Syracuse, Washington, UCLA, and Notre Dame (1998 South Bend)
My first home game I remember is Rice in 1977.

They would need to revitalize downtown. Shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Have about 20 or so busses that would run from River Center to campus non-stop a few hours before and after the game. This would allow those not wanting to go early or just for tailgating to have a place to park and something to do. This could also help after the game traffic.
When we went to UCLA, we went to bars and a restaurant in Old Pasadena, caught the bus to and from. Minimal traffic. They had a lane for busses only that made the trip go smoother after the game.
The busses could use River Road as the route.

Mine just graduated LSU. I just bring her to north Baton Rouge and tell her that’s where her tax dollars are going.

We let Clark score 9 points over her season average and get 3 more assists than her average.
How many did she make with a hand in her face? She was contested and still made shots. Not really much you can do on a few of those.

If you watched, on a few of her assists, she would stop at the top of the key and the person that was on the trailing girl would stop to defend the 3 point shot. This left the other girls open under the goal. Their transition is hard to sop when Clark can pull up and shoot or pass to the open girl breaking for the goal.
At some point you just have to give Clark credit. She had an amazing night shooting.

With portals and NIL, nah.
If you think portals are a good thing, I can't help you. You are relying on players that can't get playing time at another school or picking up db's from smaller schools that are not talented enough to play in the SEC. I guess if you need bodies, you do what what you have to do.

At least they will show the highlights during other games if he has a great game. Don't need to watch the game, only the highlights. At this time slot, every network can show what happened in the early games.

i park on the north side by the band practice field off Highland. If on Highland turn by the fire station. Go by the band hall and turn right. You will see the band field Park on the back side. They open the gate after the game. Easy access to the interstate.

Agree. All in Livingston Parish need to vote against the Ard’s. Don’t need one family with the 2 highest positions in the parish. Lots of corruption in the parish led by the sheriff.
