   Sacramento's outdoor temperature is 91F / 33C right now. My bedroom is warmer than that.

     @lnxw48a1 I think when it comes to 33°C the proper word is not "warmer" but "hotter" :-).

   To be clear, the store mentioned in https://nu.federati.net/notice/3329926 was not "Radio Shack" itself, but another brand that was owned by the same company. We had the same district manager and got the same "training" and pep talk messages, but technically, we were $STORE, not "Radio Shack".

   @guizzy Thank you for posting this. In the US, at least, that was something dads used to teach their sons. I assume that Canadian families did something similar. I don't see us (either as parents or as nations) teaching people this any more. Instead, we tell our young people to pile up debt going to college ... and then hope to obtain a job that pays enough to repay the loans.h…

     College == choose what you like, which you're hoping will pay off.
     
     I haven't checked in a few years, but at one point, less than half of college graduates obtained employment in their chosen field within a year of graduation.

     @geniusmusing @guizzy The only employer I ever wanted to have was Radio Shack, back when they had decent products and a technically-skilled workforce. At some point, they got taken over by a sales focus and both their level of service and the skill level of their employees fell. Guess when I got hired as Christmas help at a Radio Shack owned store? Yeah, it was awful, mostly …

   Speaking of poor pay and mistreatment of workers, during today's walk (to the post office, so I could mail my #Cal-EDD form), I stopped at a fast food place I used to work at. And saw one lady that I knew from those days. She was busy, so she couldn't come and ask me about the kids.

   And see, I'm willing to pay more for locally made items and better compensated employees. And better quality.

    No. I've been doing #PHP and #PowerShell courses for over a year on the employer-paid #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning site ( formerly #Lynda.com ), so even adding more courses on different sites isn't so much "starting" as it is moving my emphasis.
    
    #Cal-EDD form. For what it's worth, I just checked "No." and didn't add the rest of it.
