1. Wrote to my congressman to complain about an unelected billionaire drug addict and his illegal hackers gaining access to government accounts and acting as if they’re in charge
2. Volunteered at a food bank because I care about people
3. Read posts on Substack about The Resistance to fascism
4. Looked at my budget, trying to reduce expenses because my only income is Social Security
5. Printed out the list of all the companies that support Project 2025 so I can be sure to boycott them
When I was working, when your boss started asking for a list of items you accomplished daily or weekly, you knew they were wanting to make changes (usually outsource) and probably fire someone. Most jobs don't really have a list. Support jobs for example - I took another support call.
In any event, it really became an exercise in creative writing to not get fired. The actual value of learning what was really accomplished was nil. But it definable added to the stress level.
And that is the problem. What do we do when he gets rid of all the years of cumulative experience in our government. Folks, we need to hold our Congress Critters feet to the fire. If they are rethugs, boo down their tepid defenses of tRump+Musk. Be they Democrats force them into open defiance .
Oh Emma Kennedy you made me laugh so thank you for that during a very grim month of musk crap
I hope everyone uses a temp email for this assignment or no telling what will happen to your regular email & contacts !!!!! via EarthLink the musk satellites that are now attaching to all major carriers starting with T-Mobile this year.
The email is from hr@opm.gov, but I understand from someone that if you click reply, the return email populates with hr4@opm.gov. Just in case you wanted to let Musk know 5 things you you did last week. Feel free to send him an email. Don’t let the lack of being a federal employee stop you, he might be interested in your bridge party, the flea dip you gave your cat or a cruise in the Caribbean."
1) Wrote all my congressional representatives to request they defund or outright cancel contracts with SpaceX, Tesla, and any other business entities where my tax dollars line Elon Musk’s pockets.
2) Saluted the upside down U.S. flag hung on El Capitan by civil servants who have been illegally removed from their jobs.
3) Donated part of my tax refund to Ukrainian war efforts.
4) Completed an honest day’s work within my industry and expertise, unlike the ego-maniacal Mr. Musk and Mr. Trump, who: don’t know what “honest” means; inherited wealth from their daddies; and have lined their pockets for decades off the talents, skills, and hustle of American workers while telling themselves and others they’re “self-made businessmen”.

Can you share that list with us?
I'd like a copy also.

Thanks for the humor.
Those were great! Love the Beatles one!🤣
This is such bad management practice. Like really bad.
Musk wants to make the whole federal workforce so miserable that they will quit.
And that is the problem. What do we do when he gets rid of all the years of cumulative experience in our government. Folks, we need to hold our Congress Critters feet to the fire. If they are rethugs, boo down their tepid defenses of tRump+Musk. Be they Democrats force them into open defiance .
I wouldn't quit over this shit. Busk is heading to jail
The very morbidly rich never go to jail
They breathe rarified air
Funny!! Thanks for the laughs!!
I love this post. Haven't felt much like laughing recently and I literally laughed out loud at the responses to Musk's inappropriate, illegal request.

I dunno why I don't feel comfortable with that...
