Today’s post is a response to this post by Barrier Island Girl. When my wife and I went to the NW Florida Zoo on our anniversary last year we kept waiting for the white peacock to spread it’s tail feathers but it just didn’t happen while we were there. The photo I took is below. [...]

How To Feel
Posted in life, tagged Work on April 25, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Sometimes I’m not sure how to feel about the things I do. I’m sure we all go through it from time to time.
Quick review: I answer the phone and provide customer support for a well known newspaper.
Sometimes when a customer calls the computer system will pull up multiple accounts for that customer. Usually they have [...]
Smoking = Fired

I wish my employer had the spine to do something like this: Whirlpool Suspends 39 Workers For Smoking.
Did you read the article first or get mad first? I cheered both before and after I read the article. Go ahead and read it.
Because the smokers wanted to save money they lied on their insurance forms. Because [...]

For those of you that don’t watch wrestling let me share with you what you missed Monday night.
Remember: Vote Obama!
Mara, which I prefer to think of as female, rode my ass all morning long today. The harder I tried to get away from her the worse my attitude got. Once the initial three hour rush of people screaming at me about not getting their newspaper passed I was able to settle my mind and [...]

I haven’t written about this even though I’ve known about it for a few months now. A friend at work has breast cancer for the second time. The first time around she received radiation treatment. Almost three years to the day later she was diagnosed with it again.
I’ve tried to make her smile at work [...]
The Dharma of Beowulf

I finally saw the movie Beowulf this evening and must admit it was a good movie. I really enjoyed the story, even if there was some deviation from the original, and the CGI work was wonderful. If you haven’t seen the movie then go rent a copy and enjoy it. This post will be here [...]

I saw this quote on bash.org and just had to share it.
If McCain wins the election and invades Iran can we all yell “Monopoly!” and put hotels across Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan?
