Time For Me To Fly

O.k.  I’ve made up my mind.  It’s time to move on.
I’ve been working for the same employer for 12 years.  I’ve been in the same department for seven.  I need to move on.
It’s really not cool to badmouth your employer, even if you are getting ready to split.  But the department where I work is [...]

FEMA – Good grief

I have a regular meeting on Saturday mornings.  As a rule I go to breakfast and pick up a USA Today following that meeting.  I did that this past Saturday.  I saw this headline and just wanted to scream:

Drive By – Part 2

Ok, let me take a quick jab at a few stories I’ve read today.
Well, let’s start with Nancy Pelosi.  According to TheHill.com Nancy wants lawmakers to be able to haul their grown children at tax payer expense on trips.  This is the ethics queen, remember.
Now, Ms. Nancy seems to think that when a member of [...]

Paris Hilton

Ok, now I’ve mentioned her name, can the nation move on now?  You know, we do have men and women DYING in a war in the Middle East.  Who gives a damn whether she’s in jail or not.  She deserves it for flipping off the courts.

Touching Base – Part 2

I haven’t touched base about some of the blogs I read, lately.  I’ve really be pretty busy with work, classes and getting ready for #1 son to come home to visit.  I should be cleaning but I’m inherently lazy and just finished an online quiz.  So, I’d rather do this.
Let’s see, I’ll go alphabetically.

His younger brother is joining the service.  He [...]

Is there nothing else happening in [...]
