Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead

Tonight I have been contemplating how exactly to get from point A (my current career) to point B (the career I would like).

A few things have happened over the last few days.
  • The Wicked Witch resigned...YAAAAA!
  • My boss got the flu which I hope and pray I will not acquire.
  • I am seriously thinking of just shutting down my Xanga account or at least not using it.

The wicked witch resigning was actually a very pleasant surprise. I knew she had been looking around, but never figured she actually had a lead. She claims she is moving on to another company, but I am positive it was a forced resignation. The project under her control have ALL failed miserably. The main project is actually a year and a half behind. She really wasn't a good fit for the position anyhow...we have had a 54% roll-over rate and nobody even said a word. Upper management figured as long as the project is finished, who cares about roll-over. The problem with that thought process is the 54% were the people who actually knew what they were doing.

My boss is sick. Really sick. To add to his misery, he caught the flu from his almost ex-wife and kids. So, he brings it to work to share. Wasn't that nice of him... I luckily was not at the office yesterday, so hopefully, I dodged the bullet. It truly amazes me how many people are willing to play around with somebody else's health by working while they are sick. It is no wonder it can spread through the office like wildfire.

Sidebar, QueenSuchandSuch went to the doctor as well today for a check-up. Well, she found this doctor she loves and apparently has a sense of humor. I would never have believed it. But she laughed at my comment "Did you know that 50% of the doctors graduated in the lower half of their class?" She followed it up with "What do you call a doctor who graduated LAST in their class?...Doctor." Now I do not find this terribly funny, but my wife felt it was necessary to call my cell phone at work and repeat this back to me expecting my usual jovial laugh. I was in a meeting...ever have those cell phone calls in a meeting from your spouse?

Let's think this out...My wife is at the doctor, I receive a cell phone call and I think oh, no...something is wrong. So as soon as I walk out of the conference room, I dial her back to hear the doctor's joke. I sometimes think she is punishing me.

Back to my list. I am seriously thinking of shutting down my Xanga. I have 92 subscribers, but I really don't want to keep up on it. I love to write, but I am fed up with eprops and featured content spammers. I will have to think this over.

My Rare Political Statement...Illegal Immigrants

This is a long post. However, it addresses BOTH sides of the immigration issue. The actual bill as it was received in the Senate from the House. http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=109_cong_bills&docid=f:h4437rfs.txt.pdf In a nutshell, here is what the bill provides (ref: Wikipedia ): · Requires up to 700 miles (1100 km) of fence along the US-Mexican border at points with the highest number of immigrant deaths. (House Amendment 648, authored by Duncan Hunter ) · Requires the federal government to take custody of illegal aliens detained by local authorities. This would end the practice of "catch and release", where federal officials sometimes instruct local law enforcement to release detained illegal aliens because resources to prosecute them are not available. It also reimburses local agencies in the 29 counties along the border for costs related to detaining illegal aliens. (Section 607) ·

What is it About Shoes?

I just have to know. What is it about shoes? I own five pairs of shoes and I can tell you where they are located at any given point in time. Each of them has a purpose. I have a black pair of tie-up shoes used for work and only work. In fact, they stay in my locker at work. The second pair of shoes are basically a backup for the first pair. They are slip on Dexter loafers in black and brown. Multifunctional and works with nearly every outfit. Third are my Nike Air Monarchs. I use these for nearly everything casual including my daily trip to work. After arriving at work, I put on the shoes mentioned first. Next are the mowing sneakers. They are plain white New Balance and were the predecessor to the Monarchs. I use them when I am mowing. They are green. Lastly are my bowling shoes. Dexter bowling shoes. They cannot be worn outside of a bowling alley, so they stay in my bowling bag (lately without any usage at all). This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). Why in the wor

Moving on and moving out

I have made an executive decision in my life today. MomofJenMatt is right about a very sensitive issue and I have been running it through my mind for most of the night. I am strongly against the support of child pornography and to be honest, Xanga could be considered as contributing to the distribution of child pornography. Therefore, this is my last post with Xanga. I am moving to http://www.blogger.com/ . Blogger.com is tied to/owned by Google. It is a little more complicated to use, but I figure I will get used to it. This is my new blog site: http://n8ivwarrior.blogspot.com/ I welcome you to join me, although anyone can read and comment on my blog. You do not need to be a member. I hereby resign the Viewer's Choice to LarsThunder. Thank you for viewing and good luck to you all.
