It is Saturday and doing errands today for the S.O. while she is out shopping for pottery. ( Like she really needs any more of it!). So a stop at the library seemed in order. The great internet drought may be ending next week, Vodafone is supposed to install a line next week. Just in… Continue reading More Berlin Pix
Category: Its all about me-My life.
Greetings from Berlin.
When you are depressed, what is the cure? Road Trip! Currently in Berlin, seeing the sights and admiring the construction ongoing in the “East”. This is a city undergoing loads of change. Since it was off limits to me back in the Cold War era-its nice to see it now. Pix to follow when we… Continue reading Greetings from Berlin.
Mission Accomplished?
I wish more bars had Wi-fi here, this growing need to decamp to Starbucks to get any internet stuff done is killing me. The S.O. and I are in the new house. We were able to get the satellite in and working fairly easily with about 45 minutes effort. ( I did pay for some… Continue reading Mission Accomplished?
Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.
Greetings from the lounge in Chicago. Sitting here waiting for the jump back across the Atlantic. Should have posted more-but just didn’t feel like it. This week was my birthday-so it put in kind of a funk. I still am in a funk-or at the least a bit depressed. This week had me doing a… Continue reading Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.
Dresden ( and a bit of Poland)
A couple of weekends ago we went to Dresden. I found the trip remarkable for a couple of reasons. 1) I never imagined in my youth, that I would ever be in what was once “East” Germany, and 2) I was surprised at how charming and well developed the city was. They put a lot… Continue reading Dresden ( and a bit of Poland)
Meanwhile, back at my work.
The most screwed up reorganization since AT&T split up, continues. The thought police have come home to roost and provide counseling. Guess who was one of the first ones called in to see them? This hits pretty close to home-since the personal dynamics of my workplace have changed dramatically and not for the better. Before,… Continue reading Meanwhile, back at my work.
It is so close to my current situation, it hurts.
As the totally screwed up merger continues: While I was back in Shopping Mall, I learned what I long suspected, the little weasel who engineered this abomination had been hard at work over the past six months planting ideas with all the wrong people. This, after he lied to all of us and said he… Continue reading It is so close to my current situation, it hurts.
My timing is always bad
For the record, I really hate sand traps. I hate them with a passion. Today was a beautiful day and so the S.O. and I went to play golf. This may be the last time we get to play this year. But we picked a GREAT day to play. The sun was out, the leaves… Continue reading My timing is always bad
Rage against the machine
I have one foot in the graveyard and the other on the bus, And the passengers do trample each other in the rush. And the chicken hearted lawman is throwing up his fill To see the kindly doctor to pass the super pill. Well, I’m going down, three cheers for Doctor Bogenbroom. Well, I’m on… Continue reading Rage against the machine
Road trip
"Skippy, Paul Ryan has us on double secret sequester probation, whatever that is." " I know that". " And you are already taking a 20 % pay cut-that you didn't deserve and can't afford." "I know that too". " And furthermore-you've got a stack of credit card bills that would choke a horse. American Express… Continue reading Road trip
