Being Sick

The last few days I have felt like my head is going to explode. Sinus headaches, congestion, runny nose, and all kinds of nasty shit in my lungs. Pretty much bronchitis. Stephanie made the appointment, I guess so that I didn’t weasle out of it. My prescription for Protonix has run out anyway, and I…Read more

Youth

One of the things that I have drifted away from over the last few years is hiring the pretty young things. It is nice to have eye-candy, but one of the things I have learned is that for the most part, anyone under 30 is pretty much unreliable. Of course there is always the exception…Read more

All about the damn paycheck

Looong week. I have been averaging 14 hours a day for the last couple of week, and can feel it. I am pretty much whipped. This time of year my costs always go up, back to school and all that. When sales fall off, people are still going to make money even at my expense…Read more

Free handouts

Getting ready to go to the bank, and was musing on why people expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. I got to listen to one waitress today bitch about how she’s not making any money. She didn’t appreciate my suggestions very much. 1. Show up for work ontime. 2. Quit…Read more

Pleased with myself

…although that doesn’t take much. I managed to get my pda connected to the net through my cell phone. W00t! Now can get online ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. Damn, I am a geek sometimes. Will come in handy on trips though. I just need to get hooked up with a couple of extra batteries now.

A bit of skullduggery?

Something I miss dearly

Since Stephanie quit smoking last year, I used to only smoke in the basement or the bathroom. When I made my feeble attempt earlier this year, and started smoking again, I decided not to subject anyone else to it, and don’t want my damn house smelling like smoke. I have been smoking outside since. One…Read more

The U.S. Constitution

I am a confirmed believer in our Constitutional Government (not Democracy)and republic. I found this very interesting. It is the speech that Ben Franklin wrote for the last day of the Constitutional Convention, and James Wilson gave (because Franklin was too weak). Speech of Benjamin Franklin – The U.S. Constitution Online – USConstitution.net Mr. President…Read more

Sounds like Socialism to me

…or Unions, seeing as how they are the same thing. The All Spin Zone

Freedom and Democracy?

I have been a supporter of President Bush since early on. Prior to that, I have voted libertarian (I still do when I have a chance, but during the latest election cycle I voted for more Republicans than usual. Prior to that (my early 20’s), I voted a mix of Democrat/Libertarian. I have also supported…Read more
