The Shitfuk Institute

Shitfuk Institute By Kevin J. Curtis Copyright 2019               He was employed in the lowest of the low jobs known to humankind. He worked the help-desk at the Shitfuk Institute. While others on the upper floors enjoyed rank and status, the help-desk worked in the basement below the basement. Cleaning up technological messes was their primary focus. Each day, new work and responsibilities were given to the help-desk team with no thought or planning. Data was important to management, so they manipulated the numbers with great zealousness.                He had joined the Shitfuk Institute two years earlier and was originally proud to be part of Shitfuk Industries, headquartered at 456 Bada Bing Road. The corporation had been created a hundred years earlier by a retired army major named, Hugh G. Shitfuk. Major Shitfuk had been instrumental i...

Warner Road Under Water

My favorite way in and out of downtown St. Paul is currently under water due to all that snow melting... https://www.youtube.com/embed/C52txh1eh78?autoplay=1

When Diversity Fails

When your coworker spends his/her days goofing off or watching Internet videos, and when the boss tells him/her to stop and do some work-and he/she says "let's go talk to HR," and then all correction attempts stop, you can be sure that diversity protection has failed its true purpose.  I saw it 20 years ago, and it is still happening now. When accountability is undermined, the organization begins to erode. It's not the way it was intended to be used, but unchecked liberal thinking has destroyed the true benefits of it. Everyone needs to be accountable, not just some people. If everyone deserves equal benefits, then everyone must share equal accountability.

Grilling Resumes

With 39 inches of snow in February and more in March, I just got the grill back out for the first time since January.

Pow! The Sun!

I love how lighting changes photos. I took this one in the morning at the history center in St. Paul.

CuTRis Paid a Lot of Money to Go to College

CuTRis Paid a Lot of Money to Go to College UnAssociated Press March 13, 2019 Amidst the Hollywood Actors College Admission Cheating Scandal , news came out today that CuTRis had to pay for his own University of Minnesota education and was unable to get any financial assistance. In order to do this, he worked full-time in the horticulture/landscape industry while taking part-time classes. Since that time, the University of Minnesota changed the rules so part-time students could never move up in the registration queue—effectively destroying the option of working your way through school (unless you are a full-time student). People everywhere are shocked... and stunned that CuTRis would do such a scandalous thing in order to get his degree from a state university.

Do-Over

Here is my new idea. Let me know if you agree. We start over right now. Whatever things that happened in the past, we're leaving in the past. These things should not be allowed to ruin the future.

Trump and Kim Fail

Trump and Kim Fail UnAssociated Press February, 28, 2019 Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un failed at coming to a nuclear agreement. They also failed at being good leaders and being good people. So it all kind of evens out.

Jussie Smollett's Race Card

Jussie Smollett's Race Card is About to be Declined. https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/24/us/smollett-race-blake-analysis/index.html What some people are just now seeing in this story, I witnessed firsthand over 15 years ago while working for Hennepin County. I'm not sure why some people want to fuel the fire of racial hostilities with dishonesty, but it was rampant then and it is rampant now. Until people can start being truthful, equality will never exist — and it isn't simply a matter of one group discriminating against another. It is about dishonesty and pushing personal agendas.

So Much Snow!
