Those Zany Muslims

rmiles7721September 18, 20062Site News

I found this pretty interesting. Why is it that when I go to CNN to see what those Islam fundamentalists guys are doing, the stories that are top news are stuff like “Updated on Space Station Status” and “First Female Space Tourist Blasts Off”. I have to scroll way the fuck down to the bottom of the page just to find anything even remotely related to them, or the reaction to the Pope.

The Pope’s Address

rmiles7721September 18, 2006Politics

The only reason I am posting this is because I wanted to have a permanent copy of it, and this seemed like a good place for it. I read Pope Benedict’s address last week when all of the furor was just getting started and really didn’t find much that was untrue in it. Still not sure why they are so getting bent out of shape about it except for the fact that sometimes people get really pissed off when they hear the truth.

If you want to read it at the Vatican’s web site, you can find it here. You will find it in entirety in the extended entry.

Last Day

rmiles7721September 17, 2006Site News

Everyone at work gave me a going away party after 1st shift. They really didn’t need to do that. I know that they are going to miss me, but I have managed so many of our restaurants that it is just no big deal to me. I tend to compartmentalize my life so that it and work do not intrude upon each other.

It was pretty cool though. They got me a little cake, so we all sat around and ate cake and chatted.

Here is the card that they gave me

They also gave me a Chia Homer, but something is screwed up with attaching it right now. Maybe I will post a pic of it later. Got a T-Shirt that says “Stop Looking at my Shirt”.

I will miss some of them, but not all. Mostly it’s just another place to work to me.
