TET: What the TET?

[Xmara]

I finally had the chance to use my telescope a couple of nights ago. Fantastic view of the moon, and I think I spotted Jupiter and a couple of its moons, but I couldn't really tell. I need to invest in a decent Barlow lens.

Yeah, but then all you'll see is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlow,_K ... ow,_KY.jpg

Oh, and when you see the Moons of Jupiter, be sure to wave. They like it when you wave and often wave back.

Really? The Galilean moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, are very friendly folks. Well, Io does moo from time to time but who can blame her?

Not getting a promotion is rough. Especially when you've spent a third of your life at the company.

That does suck.

Did you get an explanation? I would imagine you are owed one. I would couch it in terms of "I didn't get that promotion, how can I work toward getting the next one?" You know, basically ask what you did wrong.

Thank ye, Farn!

I am in a really good spot in the company. I am bummed I didn't get the promotion, as I know I can do more and after an adjustment period I think I would do very well.

However, my strength lies with my animal handling skills. When there's and upset, scared, fractious dog I work with it. I'm *hoping* the reason I didn't the promotion was because it would take me away from that aspect of the organization...not for another reason. I've busted my ass for 11 years in the shelter world, I think I have the chops to go further, however!

It takes some dedication to stay that long in this emotional rollercoaster of a field!

edit: towards your question: not yet. I will find out next week.

I'm sure it is a rollercoaster and yeah, I bet it takes dedication. I certainly couldn't handle it. Still, I would ask about it, maybe next week. After all, you've been there 11 years.

Indeed. I am meeting with the shelter director next week!

But hey, you know me: I am not the biggest fan of change! haha!

sadly, they don’t care about how long you’ve served them. You are very well owed one.

Let's go picket the place! You make signs, I'll get the pitchforks!

Are we singing protest songs, or is that a little passé?

That would explain the Rabbit on the Moon.

Singing is good. "Rebels are we, born to be free!"

And, after Woody Allen, a little Billy Elliot:

Through the dark, and
Through the hunger
Through the night and
Through the fear
Through the fight and
Years of hardship
Through the storms and
Through the tears
And although your feet are weary
And although your soul is worn
And although they'll try to break you
And although you'll feel alone
We will always stand together
In the dark, right through the storm
We will stand, shoulder to shoulder
To keep us warm

And the stars look down on the mean and hungry
And the stars look down and show the way
And the stars look down and we'll stand together
To see a day
When the stars look down and know our history
When the stars look down upon our past
And the stars look down and see a future bright at last
When we'll stand as one, beneath the sun

[...]
All out together
All out as one
All out for victory
Till we've won
All out together
All out as one
All out for victory
All out till we've won!

Haha!

You two are great!

I have yet to patent a wooden sign whereas it can be used for both flashing messages and hitting others. It would be a shame for someone on live TV to copy that idea

Well ... you could make them so that the message flashes when you spin the sign.

I think people can already do that. Not signs, but fans, when turned at high speed display an image.

Jesu, just carry the sign, lad.

TIL that one of my coworkers had an entire spy network consisting of other employees all throughout the factory just to make sure her roommate didn't talk to a certain girl at work...

Just felt like that was an interesting tidbit to share

It's times like this I really miss the face-palm.
