Speaker A: Kk6vzd mobile wp6axm repeater. Kk6vzd ko6vzy Good afternoon, Chris.
Speaker B: I was just about ready to say good morning. But it's a good thing you corrected
Speaker A: me so I had to. Look, technically I usually go off of the thing if I haven't had lunch. It's still morning, but that doesn't really work. But yeah. Beautiful day over here in Calusa. Temperature's all right and then the sun's out. That's perfect.
Speaker B: Yeah, I was gonna say no, no fog today.
Speaker A: I guess there will be a fog warning tomorrow morning. I got an alert on the weather app for Sunday, but yeah, didn't see.
Speaker B: Okay. So. Yeah. So what's up with you?
Speaker A: Just here at home relaxing. What about you?
Speaker B: Oh, I had to come out to grocery outlet and swap out some coffee. I mistakenly bought some decaf so I had to come out here and get some. Some regular cop, he had to swap it out. And then we're looking at Sportsman's warehouse for a while and picked up some 308 while I was there.
Speaker A: Sounds like a nice trip. Yeah, they haven't gone into the Fortunes warehouse yet. I just don't usually go that over there, so. But yeah, that's a pretty messed up thing. You accidentally getting decaf coffee. That's for people that need it, but those that want the unleaded version, that's definitely what you're expecting.
Speaker B: Yeah, no, I have enough decaf at home. I didn't need yet another package of it, so. Yeah, and I'm running out of the regular stuff. Actually. Last week I got online and ordered some premo coffee.
Speaker A: There's this
Speaker B: variety called Jamaica Blue Mountain and it's one of the more expensive coffees you can buy, but it's also one of the smoothest that you'll ever experience. So, you know, I buy some and have some here and there as a treat.
Speaker A: That sounds pretty good. Where do you. Where do you usually pick that stuff up at? Are they K cups or is it ground coffee for the coffee makers?
Speaker B: No, I pick it up. I pick it up through Amazon and it's. You can get beans or ground. I get the beans. So we can grind it ourselves. And it's bit on the pricey side. I forget whether I get a pound or a 12 ounce package. It's probably a 12 ounce package and it's one of the. It's moderately priced. You can get some a little cheaper. But it cost me $48 a package.
Speaker A: That is a bit steep but like you Said it's a tree. It is what it is. I went to a conference yesterday, Sacramento for work and good conference and whatnot. California mental health is going to be losing a lot of money. But besides the point, their coffee horrendous. It was like they took instant coffee and put it into those hotel style warmers. I'm like this is how I ended up having tea instead. But they ended up giving us a $10 gift card for 10 completing a survey at the end. So I ended up getting good coffee afterwards.
Speaker B: Oh, there you go. Well this is awesome. The first time I tried it, this is, this is the, the only coffee that I've ever had that I could drink black and enjoy it.
Speaker A: That's good to know. Yeah, I drink my coffee black easily and I'm actually having a cup right now and not the greatest. It's Green Mountain brand donut shop from Walmart. For the Keurig I got some Amazon coffee actually I think it was a year ago from the veterans stand down in Glenn county and got two cases of 80 each and I've been slowly going through them. The Amazon brand, they're not good at all. Too oily.
Speaker B: Yeah, I bought some of their stuff from time to time to take to work. I don't have a Keurig at home. I refuse to buy one. They're too darn expensive. But I'll buy it. I'll buy the, I buy the cheapest K cup coffee that I can find and you know, it was on Amazon and I take that to work and we have a Keurig at work and so you know. But yeah, I, I've got this other coffee that I, that I buy from time to time from a, from a company called Cameron and they had what they call their Jamaica Blue Mountain blend which is my. Much less expensive than the pure Jamaica Blue Mountain. And it's, it's pretty good
Speaker A: ko6bg wiper id. I'll have to look into that because I'm almost, almost out of the pods and mom uses this poppy 12 cup. I don't. She buys the Winco brand copy. She's more full quantity over quality. She doesn't really mind so. But I won't drink it. That's why I have the Keurig here and then that work. We have similar bump cup makers over there and we actually get a brand from Sam's Club. It kind of looks like Seattle's Best and Seattle's Best the red bag. And it's actually for the price. It's actually not that bad. Way better than stuff you get at the American engine halls or anything like that.
Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know what the difference would be. I know that quite often that the stuff that you get from Costco, the Kirkland brand, a lot of the times, you know, they will have their version, you know, their branded version of stuff and it's actually quite good. So I wouldn't, I would imagine the coffee is pretty good too. Yeah.
Speaker A: And actually Costco's brand of a lot of things is actually pretty good. I actually, a couple years ago, I think I still have the bottle, it was a 12 year old Scotch in their brand. Obviously they're not making it so they're sourcing it from somewhere reputable wool I would assume. And for the price it was like 40 bucks or this thing was two times the size. So usually I think they're like 1.75 and, but anyway took a while to get through but it was, it was worthy. So Costco's got some other stuff out there that's not name brand. That's actually pretty decent in my opinion.
Speaker B: Yeah. Now my only deal is that the Sam's Club over here is closer than the Costco. But you know, we're, we're reconsidering because we're a member of both. We're considering maybe just dropping Sam's Club just because of the reputation of Costco. And the only, only thing about that is I go to, I go to Sam's Club to buy my gasoline because it's more convenient than going across the river.
Speaker A: Yeah, no, that's, I drive by the Sam's Club and they definitely have a tempting price. No, we have a club card for there. I never have it on me so I never go there to get that personally. But are you saying that the Costco in Linda also has fuel as well?
Speaker B: They do, they do, they do. And actually when I'm at work, when I'm over in Marysville, I'm over that side of the river. Anyway, I will go down to Costco and fill up my truck when necessary.
Speaker A: Yeah, if you're already over there, that makes more sense. That is quite the drive if you're only going to get gas and you, I mean, I mean they do offer a decent price, but I don't think it would be worth it just to go over there. People even here in cl, they're like, if you drive over to Arbuckle, Poppy has gas. I'm like, yeah, but you're pointlessly driving all the way over there to get super gas and wings I digress. People, they do what they want. Your mileage may vary, but. Yeah, how is it over there in Yuba City? Yeah, you guys got blue skies and.
Speaker B: There's an Irving Berlin song that came to mind the other day. It's called Blue Skies. Yes, we do.
Speaker A: Well, if you have your car set up to play music in the car, you might want to play that on the way home.
Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, so I guess I got financial stuff to take care of today. I have to go in and initiate, you know, my, my Social Security, and I have to initiate a couple of. I have to go submit my CalPERS retirement paperwork and stuff like that. So I think that's what I'm going to be spending my day on is just looking that stuff over and maybe not finalizing everything, but at least getting it close enough to where I can just go in and hit submit.
Speaker A: W E6A X N repeater. Yeah, the days are. The days are getting quite, quite. When they're almost done with this month and then you only have February and I don't know, I can't remember how much of March, but yeah, you're. You're definitely in on par for having to do that paperwork. At least they look it online, make it a little bit easier instead of having to submit a paper packet that we always lose.
Speaker B: Yeah, 47 work or 46 work days.
Speaker A: Hey, that's awesome. Congratulations. You've definitely earned that. And if I remember correctly, you're just gonna disappear on the last day, maybe have lunch with a couple, couple people that you actually care to have lunch with or whatever. And then otherwise, no party, no brill.
Speaker B: Yeah, that's pretty much it. You know, the. Lately, the interesting is they're making a lot of changes. We've picked up, believe it or not, we've picked up four people within the past two weeks, and there's going to be another two within the next two weeks. And so they're rearranging all the furniture and all the cubes and stuff. And they had a plan and they were saying that, you know, we're going to put all the help desk people here, we're going to put the level two analysts here, we're going to put the level three analysts there. And they had chucked me over with a help desk analyst. And I went afterwards to talk to one of the managers, Jeff, do you realize that I'm an analyst 2? And he didn't know that time to
Speaker A: leave here before too long. Yeah, that goes along with what you were saying that they're Just giving you the bare minimum of the honeydew list. Not anything that's actually gamefully employed and mission critical to actually get someone back online. Oh, no, you just answer emails. It's like, yeah, well, that says a lot. And if you. Kind of funny. I'm sure they didn't hire that many people while you guys were knee deep in all the workload. So maybe as a sentiment, you can think of it as not only that they hire those people just to replace you in your job, but I'm sure they needed more people than what you were offering because get things done and move on. But that's their problem now.
Speaker B: You know, I went and talked. I went and talked to Jeff about it and I actually did say. I said, now I want it. I'm going to tell you this. This matters. It probably shouldn't matter to me, but it does. Mostly because of the way I've been treated for the past couple of years. So you have to understand, you know, my perspective on this. Said, all in all, it really, really doesn't matter where I sit. But, you know, just the fact that, you know, you guys have kind of forgotten about, you know, my value as an employee. Rankle.
Speaker A: I'm sure he didn't have too much of a productive response. I'm sure I don't hear everything under the rug. It's their loss. But you're gonna ride out of there with your head held high and let it all be behind you. So that's, That's a plus. People don't understand. I mean, they think, oh, people that work for the county government. You guys got it easy. It's no different than any other job. There's bureaucracy and backstabbing.
Speaker B: There's.
Speaker A: I mean, don't get me wrong, there's a lot of good that comes out of it. I have a lot of good colleagues that I would definitely go talk to. But. Yeah, it's like high school.
Speaker B: Yeah, well, you know, I will give him this. That when I told him, he did not poo poo what I was telling him, he listened and he understood where I was coming from. Now, you know, that's probably not going to change anything and it really shouldn't at this point, you know, in the equation because I'm going to move into whatever new cube they have me and then I'm going to leave in two months, so who cares?
Speaker A: Agreed. That's awesome. Yeah. I don't know, but that conference yesterday, it was for peer support specialists, which I am certified peer support specialist through the state of California. And they were just talking about how the state could benefit from utilizing us as professionals in different scopes and whatnot. But it was disheartening to see the slides from the federal government side. Okay, well, you gotta get this. You're not getting that. Okay, it is what it is, but, oh man, I wish I was that closer. Tired. But I'm going to keep pushing through and I'm not going to get sour or anything, so.
Speaker B: Yes, yes. Well, I just pulled into my driveway, so I'm going to go inside and I'm going to take this coffee and I'm going to have a cup of this coffee, so. And then think about what I got
Speaker A: to do the rest of the day.
Speaker B: So I'll talk to you later. Have a great weekend. Enjoy the sun. 73Jk6VZD clear.
Speaker A: All right, Chris, have a good rest of your day and weekend ahead. 73 Enjoy the nice weather as well. KO6BGY I'll be clear.
