One Xylem Fluid, Neat, Please.

Hellllooooo

It's the first day of October!  Happy New Fiscal Year, fellow US government employees!  FY18 is really going to be!  New Fiscal Year's Resolution #1: find new employment.  insert fireable screed on employer here

On this day we also celebrate International Day of Older Persons.  According to the United Nations, the IDOP (not to be confused with the IHOP, maker of the official Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity® Pancake of the IDOP) raises awareness of age discrimination in the workplace.  And as an actual Older Person on a job hunt, I'll take all the ageism protection I can get.

And finally on this day, we celebrate the return of my blog.  Like the cicada, after 13 years underground feeding on the xylem fluid of tree roots, I emerge to breed.  And write some stuff.  Stuff about my larvae, my mate, and my lifecycle.  I promise this blog will be as soothing as the thoracic vibrations of a thousand cicadas at sunset.  Thanks for reading.
