Difficult customers leave at the end of their transaction. And often times you can at least learn something in the process of trying to help solve their problem. Difficult bosses on the other hand…

I had a dream that every person had a stamina bar, and T*ump tried to ban them, because he thought they were DEI. Someone pointed out that they could prove we were efficient workers so he unbanned them, and then everyone was trying to get extras, or supped up stamina bars. 😞

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong. Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo

The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning an “aggressive” reorganization that includes cutting 80,000 jobs from the sprawling agency.

More needlepoint. This was a quick little ornament that I’m going to gift to my parents. I’m really considering trying to self finish the ornament, but I’ve never even seen a professionally finished ornament in person, so maybe not the best idea? 🤷🏻‍♀️ #needlepoint #ndlpnt

So there was no hope of a fully consistent yarn, and it’s probably a little under plied in parts, but even before I soaked it, it was my most balanced spin to date. And the finished yarn is so soft and squishy even with all the variations of starting fibers. I’m very happy with it.

My finished hedgehog fibres lucky dip spin. It’s about 500 yds and 200 g. I left out 2 of the bumps from the bag because they felt too different. And I wish I could identify the fibers because some were really long and hard to draft out and others were so short. #spintogether #handspinning

Joann had a sprawling retail footprint and was a victim of the slow US decline toward cheaper, more disposable clothing, but they also suffered a blow during Trump's first term. Trump's 2018 tariffs increased cost of imports and US equivalents were too expensive for customers.

Headline from The New York Times: "Joann, 80-Year-Old Crafts and Fabrics Retailer, Will Close All Stores. The announcement that the chain would close all 800 of its stores in 49 states comes after a period of financial turmoil."
