  • I’m one of those efficient employees who sometimes get taken advantage of. I generally don’t let it bother me because I’d rather just get the shit done. And they know you get shit done, that’s why they give it to you lol. It’s almost a compliment in a way? Shoot, they may even thank you, like “I’m glad you’re here” or “now that MelonYellow’s here, I know we’re good.” And of course - management loves you. Being cool with the higher ups is a perk in itself, should anything come up.

    Of course some days it’s annoying, but it takes a lot for me to show it. Because I dislike whiners. Unless it’s egregiously unfair, I just do the assignment because it’s not worth rocking the boat. And guess what? The people who suck at work suck in their outside lives too. At the end of the day, I’m confident in my worth. I have the power, not them. I’m not stuck at this particular job - I chose it because of XYZ reasons. I’m paid very fairly for what I do. And I don’t think about work when I’m off the clock because I have my own life/hobbies that make life awesome. That all helps a lot.

    “The risk to public health in the United States from this introduction is very low,” [HHS spokesperson Emily G. Hilliard] said.

    U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins traveled to Texas to announce a five-part plan to combat the screwworm on Aug. 15

    This includes plans to breed billions of sterile flies and dump them from the air over southern Texas and Mexico in the hope of stopping the parasite’s spread.

    A report from the USDA last year estimated an outbreak of screwworm could cost Texas at least $1.8 billion due to livestock deaths, labor costs and medication.
