ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Ed, and it's about work and birthdays. Here's his email: Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I’ve worked at my job for about six years. It’s a small company, about thirty people total, and in my six years, I have been told “Happy Birthday” or been given a card exactly zero times. Yet the receptionist regularly circulates birthday cards for every other employee when their big day arrives. Finally, she brought one to me and I left it unsigned. When she asked why, I told her that it’s odd how in my entire time with the company I’ve never gotten even one card so I’m opting out. I mean, we all have our birthdays on Facebook, so it’s not like it’s a mystery! So, am I the jerk here? I don’t really care about the card, but to me it’s a deeper indication of disrespect and that’s what irks me. Should I continue to opt out? Be the bigger man and sign the cards? What...Board of Aldermen considering three new bills today

ST. LOUIS - Many people in the area will be watching closely as the St. Louis City Board of Aldermen considers three bills on Friday.The bills deal with the homeless, ownership of a historic downtown building, and short-term rentals. There will be no final votes on any of the bills on Friday, but they all focus on high-profile issues. The Board of Aldermen is set to meet at City Hall at 10:00 a.m.The legislation known as the 'unhoused Bill of Rights' is one of the bills being introduced Friday. It comes after the drama earlier this week concerning the homeless encampment that was on the City Hall lawn.City workers dismantled the camp and relocated those who were living there. Supporters of the bill say it would decriminalize homelessness. The legislation would create a pathway for safe camping areas and would remove barriers to establishing shelters that provide much-needed resources for the unhoused.

By Rae Ellen Bichell and Virginia Garcia Pivik, KFF Health NewsLast year, a student fell unconscious after walking out of a bathroom at Central High School in Pueblo. When Jessica Foster, the school district’s lead nurse, heard the girl’s distraught friends mention drugs, she knew she had to act fast.Emergency responders were just four minutes away. “But still four minutes — if they are completely not breathing, it’s four minutes too long,” Foster said.Foster said she got a dose of naloxone, a medication that can rapidly reverse an opioid overdose, and gave it to the student. The girl revived.Forty-five miles away in Colorado Springs, Mitchell High School officials didn’t have naloxone on hand when a 15-year-old student overdosed in class in December 2021 after snorting a fentanyl-laced pill in a school bathroom. That student died.Colorado Springs’ school district has since joined Pueblo and dozens of other districts in the state in supplying middle and high schools with the l...Silverton ski area’s new owners plan to keep the backcountry focus that makes it unique

The new operators of the Silverton ski area are passionate backcountry skiers, so they understand what sets the area apart and they plan on retaining what makes it unique.Silverton founders Aaron and Jenny Brill sold the operation last month to Heli, a company with Aspen roots that maintains an online marketplace for booking adventure travel. Silverton Mountain has one lift and offers a plethora of expert hike-to backcountry terrain. There are also guided trips and helicopter drops for the truly adventurous.“Silverton has been a legend, and I’ve visited probably half a dozen times,” said Aspen resident Andy Culp, co-founder and chief executive of Heli, who plans to spend most of this coming winter at Silverton. “It doesn’t take much to realize how magical the town is, and how special the ski experience is. We’re just super honored to be in this position.”Heli is owned by private investors, but co-founder Brock Strasbourger, who is the company’s presiden...Broncos Journal: The 2022 Denver offense vs. 2023 Jets under Nathaniel Hackett? “I honestly couldn’t tell you the difference”

Nobody lacks for opponent film in the NFL, but even by modern standards the Broncos defense has plenty to work with this week.In fact, players and coaches don’t even have to look outside the building. They have every single practice from last year. Fifteen games worth of Nathaniel Hackett offense. Installs and techniques and as much detail as you could possibly imagine.Since the schedule came out in May, this game’s been circled.Hackett would have been intriguing enough. Then Aaron Rodgers joined the fold — before he tore his Achilles four plays into the season. Then Sean Payton lit the NFL news cycle on fire in July when he torched Hackett and pretty much everything about the 2022 Broncos during an interview with USA Today as training camp started.But for all of the drama, the most impactful actual connection between Hackett and the Broncos leading into Sunday’s matchup is also the most practical. The Denver defense should be more than just a little familiar with what they’re going...Latest news
