Kinda Freaky.... Jus' Sayin'!
I guess now that I'm unemployed, my subconscious has more time on its hands as well. At least that's what my REM sleep would suggest.
We all wonder what those funky dreams mean.... given that you can remember them in the AM.
Online calendars; online mortgage calculators; online dictionaries and thesauri (HA! Plural for thesaurus.... look it up); online fill____ in_____ the_____ blank_____
Now there's online dream interpretation. I entered in "cat in my pajamas" just to see what would come up. It was fun.

Always a Classic
If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
---- Rudyard Kipling

T-minus Two Days and Counting
There are only 2 more days of suffering in your home zip code before the 1st Qtr GITP meeting.
And, for those of you who will NOT be attending this quarter's meeting, you will be missing A LOT. We can not be responsible for bringing you up to speed at next quarter's meeting.
Minutes from last meeting have been, appropriately, burned to ashes. And yes, we DO have an appointed fire starter for such.
Attendees of this quarter's meeting should be prepared to recite the usual anthem.

Wanted: Dead or Alive
Those who know me well know that I am courageous.
Those who know me well know that I am loyal.
Those who know me well know that I am engaging and funny.
Those who know me well know that I am determined.
Those who know me well know that I am blistered in my faith.
Something I heard yesterday made me realize that I AM wanted. Dead or alive, I am wanted.
My loved ones want me living and part of their lives. But God, wants me dead in myself, and alive with a rhythm in faith.
As I continue to wrestle with the mystery of faith, and living a life based upon faith in a God I can not see, touch or hear, I somehow take comfort in the fact that possibly, God, if there is one, still wants me, when others don't. There's a God out there who wants me, whether or not I'm Dead or Alive in faith. Talk about patience!
Who knows?

Proud to Be AARP!
That's right. I got my AARP card this year.... damnit!
I had a "milestone" birthday this month, and I really don't know why I'm skirting around the fact of it... I mean, unless you're an idiot I'm sure you can figure out that I'm talking about the big Five-O. You're not an idiot.... you're brilliant. Only brilliant people read my blog.
And with all the extra time I now have on my hands there's time to contemplate some new hobbies to fill my "golden" years. I know I want to start complaining about the government full time, so there's that.
Until then, maybe I'll stalk Casey James from American Idol.
Jus' Sayin'.....
Welcome To My Blog
Well, it's day one in my life of unemployment. Feels good to still be in my PJs.... I guess.
So, here's the story....
Got a sweet job that I loved, working with a great leader and team of people... and then all of a sudden Godzilla attacked us. Yep, that's what happened (otherwise known as switch up in Operational Management).
I guess there's comfort in knowing that I'm not the only one that the green, slimy monster grabbed up and slung across the cityscape that WAS my job.... uh, no there's none... no comfort at all. That's a load of crap.
Misery loves company, so post a comment with your bad boss story too.
I swear, there's a couple of stories I've already read online that MUST be about my former boss.
BTW... I'll make this template look less heinous after I get over my self loathing and pity party.
