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..
News you can use.
Sorry for the lack of postings of late. I am going through a triple whammy of trying to get ready for a trip, dealing with the day to day fun at work, and also starting an online class, which is going to cut into my time even more. However, it is this last item I… Continue reading News you can use.
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.
Where is Kent Brockman when you need him?
Well we met our new "team mates" yesterday. As I expected it, it did not go well: It was an interesting exercise in surrealism. Our current boss was basically pre-empted by the GS-15 who seeks to enslave replace him. That issue has not been determined yet-but this guy acted like it had. Then he… Continue reading Where is Kent Brockman when you need him?
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
Buzzword Bingo
I came across this article the other day about the slide into jargon that the military and so many Amercian businesses have gotten into. I think Mr. Marr has a point. In the article below-he mentions the worst offenders. Several drinking games come to mind seeing this list. By Bernard Marr I reckon… Continue reading Buzzword Bingo
Furlough Fun
Getting a 20% pay cut because of "that dystopian sack of monkey pus commonly known as The Ryan Budget, the economic plan without actual economics devised by Paul Ryan, the most recent First Runner-up in the American vice-presidential pageant and longtime zombie-eyed granny starver from the state of Wisconsin"? No pay raises for 4 years?… Continue reading Furlough Fun
Good advice-learned by yours truly the hard way.
Through the bitter prism of experience and pain. There is a new blog up with advice for JO’s-a part of the Navy’s lifeblood-called JO Rules. It is full of helpful advice for both Junior and Senior Officers too. Even if it is written from what appears to be a black shoe view point. He has one… Continue reading Good advice-learned by yours truly the hard way.
The countdown continues……
To the day of the great escape from Shopping Mall USA. The day I have dreamed about, longed for, thought would never come, schemed and lobbied for, and despaired about-may actually finally be going to happen. While its not taking me back to Asia-it is taking away from Shopping Mall and out of the USA.… Continue reading The countdown continues……
