18. A Coworker Of Mine...
Wed Sep 10, 2025, 04:00 PM

Who happens to be an Army vet, just moved over to the local VA hospital. Took them a full YEAR to get him on board after he interviewed and was offered/accepted the job. That’s insane. Especially for an RN position. What kind of Super Secret Squirrel information is he going to be looking at that requires a 6 month (or longer) background check by the FBI?

No wonder they were understaffed even BEFORE Caligula’s pandemic in Caligula v1.0. Far, far worse now that Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent let Eloon and his Doge (I pronounce it as “dodgy,” and use in the same sense as the British: shady/suspect) tech bros illegally fire VA staff.

But hey, tell me again how the Rabid Reichwingers are the pro-military/vet political party…🤦‍♂️
