really thrilled with the current times...

One of the nice things about having a blog that no one ever reads, is that no bitches and moans when you don’t write for a while. Having said that… It’s been one of the worst weeks for me in a long time.

First, we let go the final lowest totem on the pole at work. As I am an Architectural Designer, we had a Drafter, whom was very competent. I wouldn’t say he was a friend, but we had an amiable relationship, as supervisor vs. worker relationships go. As of this Monday past, I was going to be completely out of things to do. When I am out of things to do, a forced vacation is inline. This economy has hit my local area particularly hard. A good 50% of this county depended on its living on construction, either directly (contractor, Engineer, Architect, etc…) or indirectly (business supplying appliances, finishes, banks, food establishments next to construction sites, etc…). It’s been slowing here since about mid 2006. By Jan 2007, we laid off four workers. Today was one more, and we have one on the verge of losing his position, with no work for us to keep on staff, and I seem to be next on the chopping block. It’s been a nice ride… really.

Now that the abyss of unemployment is looming near, at least in my life, there a small ray of sunshine, that is still rather far from the silver lining of that cloud. My brothers are nearing their goal of starting a television series. If needs be, I might be involved, I sure hope I am involved.

Now, (to change the subject) I found a picture of Obama that just pissed me off!!! I was reading Drudge, clicked on a link for an article I was interested in, (http://wcbstv.com/politics/executive.pay.limits.2.927082.html) and found a photo of Obama, with the Seal of the President of the United States behind him. Because of how out of focus this was, it was like the Masonic halo around the messiah found in paintings of the Jesus the Christ. I have stopped listening to the news, as I am reasonably sure that I am NEVER being told the 100% truth. In fact, I am sure that I never am told the truth, unless it’s an event eye witnessed by myself.

And finally google tracking… Is it really a good idea to give free access to stokers, child molesters, and kidnappers free reign to find anyone at any time simply by clicking? Having a sister that was once stocked, and the creep still has issues, the last thing she would want is some creep knowing exactly where she is, simply because she has a cell phone. For the time being, a simple solution is get a prepaid cell phone, call forward from your current phone, to that prepaid cell phone, leaving the original phone anywhere else. By that’s only because I watch Burn Notice.

Here’s to watching liberty and freedom stolen from all of us…
