Caught these two near each other on their favorite chair. Sharing the chair, but not really together. Still cute!

I see you're playing mind games with it too: "Oh yeah, my totally gorgeous LaTeX based resume was made with my LaTeX skills that I only list as 'basic'. Please conclude my other 'advanced' skills are even more totally awesome, as I'm being humble about something I'm good at."

I'm on to you 😂

P.S. I'm gonna plug my resume template (based HEAVILY on Jean-luc Doumont's template) [here](https://github.com/johnabs/CV_Template/blob/master/cv_temp.pdf) for @worldsendless

@freemo That is a gorgeous formatting. Did you write it in LateX?

So I’m a science nerd. But now I’m not part of a university I've been completely cut off from the scientific community. Journals are behind paywalls and conferences are way too expensive for me to attend! Why is it so difficult to do independent science?

@freemo just spitballing here, but we Americans are too busy fighting 100 other culture wars to be goaded into this one : ).

#Rufus Update
Day 4
We had our follow up visit yesterday. The vet believes he is improving (though this was her first time seeing him since the initial event was treated at the emergency vet). If I had to put a number to it I would say he is 40% better. His walking has improved, He can walk on the hard wood flooring in the house as long as he is careful. The vertigo seems to have subsided for the most part. His eye movements are minimal. However the balance is still heavily affected and the head tilt is still pretty severe. Also he swings his head about pretty badly.

They tested his ears again and again it came back with no infection, but he screamed when they tested his left ear so there must be something going on in there. The vet sent him home with Antibiotics and more anti-nausea meds and we will monitor the situation.

My main concern right now is to get him eating and drinking again normally and making sure he does not hurt himself trying to move around. I really hope this clears up soon. He is currently snoozing behind me in my office.

Nope, just staff. Been working for Senate/House since 2003 processing hearings, reports, bills, etc. for publication, @freemo. House turned over which means that no one wants to pay the Editor/printer game even though no one also wants to do the job so I'm done Jan. 2, 2023 unless something changes.

Gotta love a #labrador

@freemo I was the HazMat/HazWaste guy for our plant, before it recently shut down. We were moving an R&D centrifugal compressor test stand across the country in pieces. It had 2 20ft cooling towers. They split them in half to get ready for trucking. They hadn't done any maintenance on it, because the entire building was no access, accept to the R&D engineers and myself (safety inspections). So when they split them apart, they found that pigeons had taken them over some time ago. Me and the other hazmat guy (my dad) were asked to clean them, as it's hazardous, and would give us a bonus. Had to be done in 24hrs. We stayed all day and night to get it done. I have never seen so much shit and bird carcasses in my life. I talked to the local HazWaste company, they said we saved them $50k-75k they would have charged, and it would have taken them a week. Attached is the 55gal drum of waste, ended up taking up 2 of them. (also, I didn't plan on expansion, was in a hurry, and the shit popped the seals of the drums, and I had to transfer into 3 55gal drums)
