@gggiants Don’t understand the fascination with Jerar at all. Frustrating

It never gets old.

[The Random Recruiter @randomrecruiter]

All the headlines say the job market is cooked, but Robert Half's most recent earnings report tells another story.

Robert Half, one of the largest recruiting agencies in the world, just posted its first quarter of positive sequential growth in over three years. Three years of contraction, and the bleeding finally stopped in Q4 2025.

60% of hiring managers plan to add permanent staff in H1 2026. 55% plan to use contract talent for project needs. 38% of workers say they plan to job hunt in early 2026, up from 29% last year.

They're calling it the "Great Thaw." Workers who have been hunkered down for two years are starting to look around. Employers running skeleton crews are realizing they can't keep delaying critical projects.

But here's the catch. 65% of employers say finding skilled talent is harder than a year ago. Part of the reason? AI generated resumes are flooding applicant pools, making it harder to identify genuinely qualified candidates.

The market is waking up. The noise is getting louder at the same time.

🚨 Buried in the High Sierra.

In the winter of 1952, the City of San Francisco streamliner, en route from San Francisco, became trapped in the deep snow of the Sierra Nevada about 20 miles west of Donner Pass after slamming into a massive snowslide.

For five days, 226 passengers and crew were entombed under nearly 17 feet of snow.
No heat.
No electricity.
Frozen water.
Failing hope.

As storm after storm hammered the mountains, rotary snowplows fought through avalanches and towering drifts to reach the train. A crew of 30 railroad workers ultimately dug it free.

Every person survived.
One of the most extraordinary winter rescues in American railroad history.

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap on your resume?

Me: I explain it in my cover letter.

Interviewer: It says the Dow is over 50,000.

Me: Correct.

Interviewer: When can you start?

Following up on my story about the Giants’ quiet winter, the wonderful @annkillion weighs in: Where are Giants’ priorities? Curious offseason addition leaves fans puzzled https://t.co/MpY7DXqaoP via @sfchronicle

Over 100 inches of snow has fallen at many Tahoe ski resorts, including @palisadestahoe, in the past two weeks.

Less than three weeks ago, much of the Sierra Nevada had virtually no snow above 8,000 feet.

Tahoe’s snowpack has surged from 16% to 112% of normal in just 18 days.

The Matt Williams trade was wildly unpopular when it went down in 1996. Giants general manager Brian Sabean immediately had to defend it by proclaiming, "I am not an idiot." He acquired a future Hall of Famer in Jeff Kent in the deal, so I think he won that battle.

Circle back season is upon us.

The media cannot and must not separate itself from the destiny of truth. Transparency of sources and ownership, accountability, quality, clarity, and objectivity are the keys to truly opening citizens' rights for all peoples.

[Dave @gggiants]

It's amazing what Posey has done to remake the Giants in his image/vision in a year. This is the biggest swing of them all.

[Carter Murphy 🏔️ @cartermurphy218]

This morning in the sierra was nothing short of insane. Incredible light in the wake of the clearing storm, paired perfectly with remaining fall colors 😍

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

I can't stop thinking about this poem...

The final two lines bear repeating:

And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take care of itself.

How often have you been convinced that your joy, contentment, and fulfillment were on the other side of some extraordinary achievement?

• I'll be content when I get that promotion.
• I'll be fulfilled when I make director.
• I'll be joyful when I find a partner.

This "when, then" psychology traps our happiness in a conditional statement:

You get to be happy when you achieve that thing.

In a culture that obsesses over the extraordinary, there's much to be gained through simply shifting your focus to celebrate the ordinary.

How can you make the ordinary come alive today?

Every single thing you do today is something your 90-year-old self will wish they could go back and do.

That simple walk. That feeling of satisfaction when you figure out a tricky problem. That smile from a friend. That laugh from your child. That workout you wanted to skip. That conversation with your parents.

That ordinary moment you're tempted to ignore.

All of it.

So, the next time you find yourself wanting to skip through to the other side—to the end, the goal, the finish line:

Stop. Pause. And breathe it in.

This is it. This is real. This is life.

Make the ordinary come alive and the extraordinary will take care of itself.

If the #SFGiants lose this game, this will become their worst stretch at home since 1901.
