Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

Chavez, shove it!
Now that I fixed another election, I will speak again. Venezuela is the jewel of South America. So I call to you, the little people, call out the US as evil and romp and stomp and throw your fists and go get whatcha need.
The US makes a counter-offer of, "Stuff it!"
Hugo, put a little more 'elected' on the term "president" and a little more tator on the dic

Cancer from phones
I gotta find a new place ... I was gagging today. There isn't a phone that doesn't reak of cigarette ... a chimney swell will arise several times during the day.
Blech ... pew ... I gotta get out

clocks out the window
Petty, but I think switching to daylight savings time was stupid. This weekend we all get to lose an hour. That makes sense. Usually people get to have some "fun" before blacking out for an hour. Well, quasi-reality sets in and we all lose an hour. I didn't vote for it, yet we have it.

not to disturb me when I am werking +
I was looking yet again at job postings ... diddly squat. Nice. I also have no heard back from a couple of places. Well, in any event, I can look forward to Thursday off, maybe, perhaps, then getting more stuff done.

beyond thought
Driving for so long each way gives me a long time to think. The radio, of little consolation, is a mere white noise in my merry-go-round of thoughts, swirling, twirling, spinning. Sadly, often this well describes dead end or round thinking that has no conclusion. I can, however think about different perspectives -- outside looking in, inside looking through -- there, is inspiration.
Preconsciously and consciously I probe, "what if" qeustions ... all the time. I'm surprised I haven't left the road, as I deeply think sometimes.
What if I started a company: vocational training and placement ... Today I looked online and there is a small glut on the market.
I'm also thinking of training modules for where I work; modifying things to lessen errors; moving things to make things safer; where will I be living in 6 months; new concept for travel ... a useful thought
neon painting the bottom half of poles and posts in parking lots so that plows don't smash them
federally mandated requirement that all Hummers, and later SUVs have at least two passengers at any time during travel, large fine or towing & impounding of vehicle
Permanent denial of suits against cigarette companies (about final anyway), also denial of health claims for smokers -- aka touchet
universal fuel adaptor ...
are crops ready to be set; definition of fergaicious; I'm a CEO (closest this rapper will be to accounting); bills; paid; time off as requested; traffic
in-town burial of wires for safety and beautification
"- HR photo"; Arby's sand [other letters out], what's a horse doing on that sign; diner from Star Wars -- does Mel work there; car dealships -- truly avenue of autos; if a train leaves Boston at 45 mph and another trains leaves London, when will they cross paths; if I had to find a hotel, could I
how many libraries could I use with my address from one county, living in another, working in yet another
which services are available up there -- wireless, highspeed
am I learning?
where should I be working? Can I come up with a WHOLE idea, especially relevant to vocation and a well-suited job?

errors
The exceptions aren't as bad as just plain terrible sloppiness. Add to this, the futility of talking or directing with 15-40 dB ambient noise, varying in locations. So, in a quieter area, you talk as if someone in a mid-noise level can hear you ... not so. My "beef" is sloppiness. I got this type of paper and from that I was to put together my "thing". I made an error. Now, I would normally be angry with myself for a stupid glitch, but here ... it festered all day because I would not attribute it to my fault, but rather in sloppiness. It angered me so.
If you have the time to write, "red, green, yellow, white", don't write, "rd, gn, y, w", for then the reader wonders, "where's the fire" or something like that given to WTF.
....
My second little sore spot:
Welcome to the 21st century ... please don your wooden sandals and begin your freeway travel to your destination. Some of the things there seem almost as schtupid as given NASA abacuses. If there is technology ... use it. The company isn't small. Like any large company it would have buying power. If you want fewer errors ... smaller losses ... improve the system.
Well, you see, I didn't know how to write carburetor, so I wrote, "Car" in it's place. That didn't confuse you did it? So, in the decades of existence ... there are computers there doing things like tabulation ... sales, but as far as ordering ... uh, no. Why use pen and paper? The system for sales has every single thing on it ... right, friggin' there!
We don't like to use the car ... it's scary, so that's why we run along the freeway in our wooden sandals. If they used what they had ... errors would be even smaller. Look, it's one thing to point out, how you come up with figures, and having a system to do it if the computers went down, but hey ... if they are running, use them!
I can understand if I make an error, but errors made on the basis of sloppiness and defiance of technology -- irks me! I'm a fool, but if there's a car, I'll choose it over walking 75 miles in a day. Use what you have.

Cerpicio found a blog
For local info on a project I think is wasteful, the Harrison Square project. I read where a Montessori school was bought for demolition. The school is having trouble finding a location, which is odd, considering the city had to buy the building, right? I saw that they were charging $149 weekly for pre-school and $129 weekly for other ages. That isn't a lot, but that should keep their heads above water.
I am against the project, as I have written before, because another minor league team downtown isn't going to be a draw for tourists. That doesn't give FW a novelty. What FW needs are jobs and a novelty. That site ought to make parking and fireworks right pretty and messy during the festivals. Those putting this together should be dismissed from the project in favor of people who know what people want.
FW, city of churches, restaurants, strip clubs, and two minor league teams, minor league hockey, minor league basketball.
That doesn't sell.
