Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

food sex

Wendy's "Blister In the Sun". A song about sex for selling food. Hmmm... correlation?

How you can claim

sex is killing you. You see, it was a meat-packing injury. I believe that's the right term for bruising. Ouch. The job title you'd have, of course, would be HB (hot beef) Installer.

pictorial hints of work

a "small" sample of what I do now
I got this one free, it's my first that I have had.
It smells like work. I won't name the company. I was asked today if this is what I want to do. I responded, "yes" of course, but this core is but a part of what I would be doing ultimately.

divorce granted

Kidd and spouse seeking divorce. Well, I'd say, "granted", but you have to hash out custody and property.

The wife claims he beat her before they married. Huh ... she still married him, then shut up. He bought half-million dollar jewelry to say, "I'm sorry". Being a "serial adulterer" just means the person is a jerk and notes, "divorce needs to happen".

Let's see if I get this right. The entertainer, basketball star, beats you with fists and objects, including while you're pregnant. He's having a number of "extra-marital affairs". You stayed with him all that time ...
[thinking (computer voice "working")]

Relationship was over before marriage. Proceed with divorce. Pity is denied.

Next.

Blazer vs snow

On the way to work I got to see two vehicles ditched from bad driving. Thankfully I was not one of them. I tried to stop at an intersection on the highway, but ... the snow didn't allow me, regardless of ABS, so I slid through hitting no one.

I saw a blazer down the ditch, across part of a tract and into an animal fence (cattle or the like). I guess the SUV didn't do well with that driver.

news of the weird

The phone rings and I answer.

A woman is calling on her cellphone. She is trapped in the ladies restroom and can't get out. I didn't laugh, but was rather befuddled how you can do that, but ... I called a woman to go help her out of the restroom, whatever that means.

60s & 70s

The town where I work has few radio choices ... so if you like the 60s and 70s, it's the town for you. There is also a sports channel, a Gospel channel, and a country channel.

"So what kind of music do you play here, anyway?"
"Oh, we got both kinds, country and old pop."+

I know this because I heard "Disco Duck" before I left. The working center, where I spent my time, is crazy when it's busy. I hope I get faster, better, more accurate ... bionic. I'd then like my own sound effects.

+ paraphrased from Blues Brothers

Stupid & Stupid

Stupid body clock: 6 am, rise and shine. That really doesn't help me when I still struggle to fall restfully asleep.

I am slow and not very good at parts of my job. Supposedly, they are alright with how I'm doing, but I am not happy with me. I returned home feeling -- "stupid" with an Uncle Sam pointing at me "St-you-pid".

CBN

I'm sure at one time CNN had news as the center, but talking about an L.A. sign writer, "I'm sorry Jenny". It's time to turn off the network.

This company keeps calling me

This is an aforementioned impossible sales mission job. Skip that! Apparently Jeffy had this job for a month ... 12 hours a day, solid. I saw a 6'4" or taller man who clearly had one bench seat to himself, rotund front, in the truck. Get new business or hit the road. It was MI: LX (60, like the hours). There was the lackluster automated call, that concluded that I had a GED or HSD and that I had passed the preliminary qualifications. I guess that meant that I was living, over 18 and had some high school-like education. The fact that my education went beyond that is unimportant.

How I succeeded with taxes without really trying

I used OnlineTaxes. It was cheaper than TaxCut, and TaxCut didn't work for me. It was far cheaper than TurboTax, so if you haven't done your taxes and your taxes are fairly simple, I suggest you use OnlineTaxes. The state surrended my money in around 6 days and the feds surrendered my money around 10 days.

the smoking I smell isn't rare

About 80% of the people where I work smoke. Yuck! It is an appetite suppressant for me. I am surprised that they smoke where they do, but it isn't my company. I would definitely change that, though it would peeve people.

I learned new things today and am more tired today that yesterday. It's going to snow, it's going to be another same-length workday and I will likely be a wickedly tired man at the end of the day.

Sometime, I'll put a name to this company.

which to use

regarding work, I'm not sure which to use:

"Too old, too old for the training." +
"The rookies are worth as much because they haven't put their time in." ++

+ Star Wars Empire Strikes Back
++ Platoon

spellcheck

Well, the new blogger has a lot of neat and simpler interface features. The spellchcek is, by far the neatest change. The elements interface makes it especially easy, so that too is good. The old spell-checker was slower and less clear. This new one is simply -- a great MS, like spell-checker, but better. The in-question words are highlighted, then you choose to correct or not to correct.

Great job team, whomever is responsible for the number of changes!

hint about work

I won't disclose where I now work, but ...
I know that where they are, their business has benefited by being there for a long while. The access to the business is a little awkward, so visitors overcome the situation and go there anyway. That's great!

I don't disclose the place because I don't want me associated with them -- it just might turn out badly. So, sometime, I might write about it and include the name. For now, it is a mystery for some.

Suweeten Alabama

Sweet Home Alabama ... movie. I overheard it.

How many variations of the song can you put into a movie -- watch and find out the answer.

bit of play

Jared looks surprised to see Star Wars while he's wielding a lightsaber
Monkeyjack has his gun aimed and Charlie is trying to play ball -- knock out Daddy!

Winter again

Snow in shutter ... more waste, colder than the artic
broken plastic on side lights on the van -- shattered from cold, maybe?
birds getting fatter
lazy doves, one on one leg
taller than some dogs, the snow makes the feeder a possibility for the squirrels
