This is infuriating and you should send it to every veteran you know, because while you can’t lose your civilian job while you’re activated, they don’t have to pay you, and you can’t get the mortgage pause until you’ve been activated a month. American Legion & VFW should be on fire.

Quoth Claude Code: Your approach with the event_date column is much better than my original plan! This solves the key limitation I identified while keeping all the benefits. Here's why it's brilliant:

Doggust 27: Jobs pt. 3. Timpanist, crossing guard, chemist, and ice cream scooper. #doggust #doggust2025

A big fluffy grey keeshonden, with dark grey ears and snout is holding a mallet in their mouth with their paws on the front two timpani drums. They're wearing a black bowtie, imply this is an important performance (good luck!) There are two more visible behind them. They're gold and brown in color with wheels. A brown and tan rottweiler is smiling with their eyes closed while holding a stop sign in their mouth. Their front paw is up, as though they are doing their job in a silly and enthusiastic fashion. They're wearing a bright yellow vest. A tan and white borzoi wearing safety glasses is leaning their head down across a table while holding a pipette in their looong snoot. There are 5 test tubes below it that they are doing some unscientific experiments with. Two small dogs are working at an ice cream station, with 8 flavors. The stand has blue and white stripes, with two types of cones, and cups available. The dog on the left is a white and brown spotted rat terrier. They're wearing an apron, and holding a cone with three scoops very nervously in their mouth. The dog on the right is a griffon bruxellios. They're brown with long hair around their snout that looks like a moustache. They're holding a green scooper with a peach colored scoop of ice cream in it.
