Friday Thoughts

  • Can you believe that Obama staffer won Mayor of Chicago? The guy didn't even live there, who can he possibly know what the heck is gonig on there?
  • I think the same thing happened with Hillary Clinton and New York.
  • The Radio Shack here in Decatur sucks. We really need a proper electroincs store in this town.
  • The AT&T wireless store (Wise Wireless) attached to the Radio Shack sucks too. I got a phone line added there and the had me sign a 2 year contact even though I brought my own equipment in. After dealing with AT&T on the phone about it for a while they called and informed the store they were doing it wrong. They claimed they have always been (ripping off) doing it that way.
  • Now I have to drive 60 miles to go to a company owned store to fix the issue.

Monday Thoughts

  • I read that the average Wisconsin teacher makes $100,000 a year... Those guys need to STFU and deal with it!
  • Many are happy just to have a job right now.
  • Their greed is shining through. They preach to us that we need to take care of them like they take care of our kids but what happens when their $$$ is threatened... they cut class and leave the kids up the creek (and the family that have to stay home and watch them).
  • I think this represents one of the biggest problems with our government today. I heard on NPR that the average government worker makes 2 to 3 times what their private sector counterpart makes.
  • Now I am not waving the flag of socialism but I think AT LEAST government jobs need to be in line with private sector ones.

Friday Thoughts

  • Why are most Sci-fi TV shirts no larger than 1X is size? Hello?! I doubt that would fit 1/2 of the Sci-fi fans out there!
  • Ate at Casa Torres for lunch. Still no better place around.
  • What the heck is going on in the world? Everyone is going nuts... I guess that the 'change' we were promised.
  • I went with my boss to that full service car wash next to Lowes. That's pretty cool, expensive but cool.
  • My coworker got a no seatbelt ticket for driving directly from one parkinglot across a small side street into another parkinglot... really???
  • State troopers are ruthless up here.

Monday Thougths

  • Went to Austin this weekend, land of 'look at me' weirdos and inconsiderate drivers.
  • Instead of sand to grit the road when ice comes in they use granite sand.
  • I could live in the hill country... Marble Falls, Horseshoe bay, etc.
  • So who else thinks this revolt in Egypt will lead to nothing but bad news for the US?

Monday Thoughts

  • Wow. I was trapped at home for 4 days... work seems awfuly nice right now.
  • My PTO took a nasty hit.
  • I tried to do some stuff around the house to offset my confinement blues like cleaning, laundry, etc.
  • Funny how we love to be at home... but for only so long.
  • 4 days without a real soda... YIKES!
  • Mother Nature really screwed Jerry and Arlington didn't she?
  • Millions upon millions lost to the weather.
  • I'm glad the Superbowl is over.
  • Is the NFL a mafia style entity?
  • They seem to have control over EVERYTHING and they refuse to be accountable... oh wait, that's like the government. OH SNAP!
  • Is it just me or is the Souper Bowl halftime show not as big as it used to be? When I was a kid it used to be a really BIG thing. Now it's hype that is created by the media.
