Today is my birthday which in the grand scheme of things is not really important-and tomorrow is the 4TH anniversary of the Tohoku Tsunami which is. If had not given up booze for lent ( and believe me I think its a big mistake tonight)-I would probably be drunk off my ass tonight and not… Continue reading Another orbit around the sun.
Category: Its all about me-My life.
Still here, just not much left to say.
This week is my tenth blogging birthday. It is a bittersweet time for me for a bunch of reasons. First of all- it is because I am at a loss to explain recent actions I took to rather vociferously fight a pretty stupid fight. Definitely alcohol fueled-poorly thought out, but nonetheless representing of the passion… Continue reading Still here, just not much left to say.
Sayonara 2014
And don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. As years go, 2014 was not really a good one for me. I won’t be sorry to see it go. It started living under the burden of a poorly thought out merger at work, engineered by a psychopath- who, regrettably will… Continue reading Sayonara 2014
Just Kill Me Now.
Once again I have to apologize for the lack of posting. The S.O. and I went on a marvelous trip to Austria. And now we are back. And work got, even more, suckier in the interval. So, pix to follow-and now I ask for appeals to save me from flag induced O-5 ambition. Trust me… Continue reading Just Kill Me Now.
Mile High
Sitting in the lounge at Denver International-waiting to make the jump back across the Atlantic. If you have not seen any of the latest Weird Al videos, you are missing a treat. Here is his send-up of Happy: Funny isn’t it? Have a great weekend, see you on the other side!
Traveling Man
There just are not enough hours in the day sometimes. Leaving this week for business and to visit my father in the USA. Sitting here in the lounge contemplating the long jump across the Atlantic and then a cramped ride in a DeHavilland Dash 8 to my Dad’s place. The shoot-down of the Malaysian airliner keeps… Continue reading Traveling Man
So much for brand loyalty.
United Airlines this year-decided to say a cheery “fuck you” to its loyal passengers closing in on Million Mile status ( and thus lifetime Gold Membership) like me. They decided to f*ck me at the drive through: LAST week, United Airlines announced a modification to its frequent-flyer programme, MileagePlus, that could change business travel as… Continue reading So much for brand loyalty.
It is that wonderful time of the year.
When one updates one’s “brag sheet”-and gets a little counseling. Mine typically goes something like this.
You try to be a good soldier..
And what does it get you? Kicked in the teeth that is what. Our completely dysfunctional workplace has struck again. A project I had devoted some 7 months of effort to-has been done away with. The details are dreary and not befitting anything but swear words. Nonetheless it caps off the end to a fucked… Continue reading You try to be a good soldier..
Busy Week!
Still here-just it has been a busy week. out of the hotel at 7:15 and home at 8PM. By the time one eats dinner and gets to bed, there is not time for anything else. Day off today though-then back to the grind tomorrow. (In Israel, Sunday is a work day). Some Jerusalem pix to… Continue reading Busy Week!
