A terrified organ donor came back to life, thrashing and crying on the operating room table, as surgeons prepared to harvest his body parts, according to witnesses – with one described as ‘everybody’s worst nightmare.’

Thomas ‘TJ’ Hoover II, 36, had been declared brain dead when surgeons went to remove his organs at Baptist Health Richmond Hospital in Kentucky in October 2021, his sister and former Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates employees told NPR.

But as doctors went to test his heart health for transplantation, Hoover reportedly became reanimated.

‘He was thrashing around on the table,’ Nyckoletta Martin recounted, claiming the patient was just sedated.

Meta fires staff who abused $25 meal vouchers

Meta provides workers with $25 meal vouchers for use at the office..

Meta fired roughly two dozen staffers based in Los Angeles for abusing the company’s $25 meal vouchers to purchase non-food household items…

Meta fired the workers last week after the company discovered that the workers were abusing its food credit system by using the funds to buy other household items, ranging from acne pads and wine glasses to laundry detergent.

According to the report, Meta staff are given daily allowances of $20 for breakfast, $25 for lunch and another $25 for dinner — similar perks to what other large tech companies offer workers on top of their typical compensation packages.

…

Meta staffers, who indicated that they had a salary of about $400,000 at the tech giant, said they had used the $25 meal credits to purchase groceries like toothpaste and tea at the Rite Aid pharmacy.

…

The staffer said in the post that they admitted to misusing the credits when Meta’s human resources department began investigating the practice, and that they were later fired unexpectedly, saying it was “surreal.”

Try “so real.”

They don’t like women with curves, they don’t like women who are straight. What’s left? That’s the point.

Oh, and for the record . . .

Ours are female.

By the way, she’s over 18. You’re just taller than her.

I swear, the attention span of a gnat.

… and marriage material.

I’ve got a guy I’m corresponding with (a banker in a bunker) — who needs help.

The guy’s totally sincere.
