You love this town even if it doesn’t ring true, You’ve been all over and it’s been all over U

OK, some random thoughts.

Its going to be a busy weekend, so much to do, so many places to go. The problem is I have so much I want to get accomplished and only a short time to do it. Thanx in part to training at work (more on that later) and a required change in scheduling. I'll most likely watch the Super Bowl (or part of it) here in kentuckiana in a solitary state. Something I haven't done in 30 years. Couple that with the lack fo the traditional "shot per score" ceremony with JR, it won't be the same. Probably better for my liver though.

OK, the training, looks like I get 2 weeks of training in classroom stuff and then the other 2 continue, and I go back to being the manual bitch. And when we hire the 2 additional manual bitches, the senior one and I will go through training. Thats the theory. Knowing how this place operates, it won't happen like that. I'll be languishing in piles of manuals until my hands become grotesquely scarred with paper cuts.. then I'll go to training in a rushed manner because theres suddenly an opening.

OK, maybe its not that bad, but it amazes me how slow this place moves, especially for an overnight company. And how the forward planning isn't really there on my level. Its the way of business it seems. QUick profit now, to hell with the future.

And while I'm ranting, the senate wants to change the rebate system, to give moeny to people who make more and people on Social security. Well, if you make $100,000 a year, u don't need the $500. People who make way less do though. And notice the rebate has shrunk by $100. Now I'm not only support paying people who make 2 to 3 times my salary, I'm also supporting people who are on social security (which looking at my tax return I'm already paying for Grandpa's around the country to have a steady supply of viagra). And this, by all reports, is an idea fromt he Democrats in the Senate. It's enough to make me want to vote Republican.

I guess I should be fair, they are adding language to close the loophole that allowed illegal immigrants to get rebates.

Rant off.

I did my taxes the other day, thank god for turbo tax online. The refunds should be on the way back to me. And I'm confused that King Bush claimed he hadn't raised taxes, I seem to have paid more this year than last year, with a lower income. I don't get it. Its enough to make me want to vote Democrat... oh wait.. is there a third party option?

The idea of buying an island and founding the Emirate of Daquiriland sounds more and more appealing.

I'll take this opportunity to respond to a few of the comments left on here of late: Yes, yes, your right, absolutely not, and leather chaps and boustierre are always a good idea!

And since I know it makes his day, I just want to mention Ryan in this blog. Watch out for the killer baboons.
