I am eating my lunch and taking a 15 minute break to do it. Of course I am still on duty to answer phones and the counter, so this is not really a break but a bit of personal time fit into the cracks.

I had a good day today. At work, I had a good day at work. It wasn’t great, but it was not painful, my standards for a good day are pretty low at this point. And the sun came out in the afternoon making the drive home gorgeous.
I do not expect another good . . . → Read More: Good With The Bad

Hoya in the April Sunshine
I am still working and surviving the experience. It is miserable. The small players are scrambling to gain power and garner all material rewards for themselves alone. In my opinion they have been pitted against one another, inspired by a plastic carrot. The higher ups are scheming to . . . → Read More: Dividing up their money…

Oh Dorothy! It isn’t Lions and Tigers and Bears in my world right now, oh that it were the only the tin man, the lion and the scarecrow!

Change has been in the air and it is beginning to materialize.
About a decade ago I had a week to remember, and not in a good way. Unforgettable. This week was another such week. I will relay the experiences in order of importance.

Change!
The little car that we bought in 1998 has decided to retire. Attila had been driving it to work and back until last Thursday, when the brake lines failed completely, just as he arrived home. Unfortunately that was the “straw that broke the camel’s back”, as they say. We have had thirteen years . . . → Read More: Straws
