The gentleman who came into the office today, well, he had a bit of news. There for a specific reason... anyway, we had a chance to chat.

He is, maybe a year or so younger than i; employed with such-n-such for over 30 years.  Well, not surprisingly, his employer gave very short notice to the staff of several thousand.  "Get vaxxed, or get another job elsewhere.  And, oh, here's the very predictable part: you have until the end of October (typical freaking rotten reprobate b'tards). 

In other words, if the old-timers decide to say bu-bye, and retire, any payouts of unused vaca or sick pay on the books, might not be forwarded to 2022, but instead taxable in 2021.  In short, people who save their leave, generally tend to retire at or near the start of the new year, so they don't get scalded tax-wise.

And if you are applying, but don't have your shots, (these are men and women, not dogs and cats) ferget it, charlie...your application goes right into the delete bin.

With my employer, haven't got the e-bomb...yet.   Am hoping it won't happen, atleast until January.  But if my employer decides to play the same reprobate little mindgame ... bu-bye.  And no, don't have the money to retire, but will anyway.  Ain't takin' the mark ... i mean, the shot :)  And, by the Lord's grace, and His grace, alone, will continue as a real widow - not some fornicating (bragart-ars'd) pseudo-one - ugh!  Test of Faith?  You betcha!  Uhm, it's one thing to wax all bibleze-thou-shalt-not when ya got a fat bank account ... like that boomer who went all praisey-maisey, "Jesus is my social security..." uh-huh, she had one gorgeous car ... was parked next to the gorilla-taped wonder i drive.  Anyway,

Concering the shot, the gentleman said about the same.  Yep, once in a while, one is blessed to have the chance to fellowship, for a few moments with a like mind ... to be able to actually listen and speak of things, which are exceedingly seldom - and getting more so - communicated, in these ultra vanity-fair days.  Said he don't trust it, either.

By the way, (but not really btw) the man appeared to be not in the best of health.  So yeah, if he was to get covid, it might tear him up, bigtime - but even doctors can't determine who's gonna get it bad, and who isn't.  But stastically, it's older/not real healthy people who get it bad.

Nope, he does not want the shot.  And i am sure, he realizes that, statistically, he's at risk.

But here's the thing:  and it's not so much as what's spoken, but how ... and what's not spoken.  In short, he appears to be a follower of Jesus Christ.  Yep, Christians somehow (uhm, more like indwelling Holy Spirit clues 'em in) are drawn to one another.  So, being in Christ, basically gives the boot to all the fear-mongering.
