OSUT 257: Spring is Finally Here. Bring on the Outdoor Fun and Grilling Season!

We always had huge amounts of cicadas in south Texas, but the bugs they had to use grain shovels to clear the school doorways after the security lights burned all night were June bugs (March bugs that far south) and crickets a month later.

I hope we don't have that many cicadas!

Commercial real estate is taking a beating too. So if they own the building, they need more people to be in the office. More than likely they're trying to justify the office space that they probably no longer need

Well that's the thing. Right before Covid hit, they were in the process of reducing our footprint in the building. Well, they effectively reduced it to nearly zero! But now it's a problem? Pffft!

I saw a piece on WTHR this morning about someplace getting a cricket invasion, but I didn't catch where it was. Searching their website I didn't find it, but saw a couple older stories about it happening in Texas.

Don't you just love it when your knees jerk too far?

It is actually a THING with almost Biblical quantities of those two critters almost every year!

My HQ had just built a new tower, remodeled the other offices when it hit. Now no one wants to work there. Most of the space is empty.

Good Morning INGO! I got up late and decided I’m taking the better part of the day off! I’m doing nothing! Crazy right?
I only have a 4:30 meeting and that’s it.
Have a great day!

I think part of what is driving it was some bad publicity back during Covid where some federal employees (in DC, not here) were bragging online about how they weren't doing any work. They were showing pictures of themselves lounging by pools, sitting in bars, etc.. Idiots.

Doing some recall on the back up cameras, mine hadn’t acted up… I actually don’t even use them. I still turn and look behind me and look in my side view mirrors.
