Friday, April 22, 2022, 4:59:11 PM- Well crap

I called customer service today to cancel my local newspaper.

The price is going up to over $80.00 a month, which is too much.

Well,

the man I talked to gave me an offer I couldn't refuse -

$24.00 a month for the next year.

Like Michael Corleone said in 'The Godfather Part III':

"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in."

Hey - they made me an offer I couldn't refuse. What else could I do?

A classic song from a classic voice:

It's bad enough that it's Monday and I have to go back to work.

When I got out of bed this morning, I looked out of the window and saw a couple of inches of snow on the ground.

I'm NOT going to ask if Monday can get any worse, would you?

Sunday, April 17, 2022, 12:30:49 AM- Coulda, shoulda, woulda

I am the king of comebacks...

...5 minutes later.

Friday, April 15, 2022, 5:44:15 PM- Never count your chickens before they're hatched.

I was supposed to have Good Friday off from work.

I was informed that because around 15 people are working in 2 out of 3 buildings (none in my building) of the 270 plus employees, I have to come in.

The last time this happened (ironically on Good Friday), I was in and out in under 1 hour.

A waste of both my time and the bosses time.

Another reason (of many) why, when I decide to retire this year I will not be giving notice.

I just won't show up... and not feel one iota bad about it.

Thursday, April 14, 2022, 7:00:03 PM- After all these years...

.... I'm finally using a word I thought I'd never use.

I have a three day weekend coming up, thanks to Good Friday, and I am

with anticipation.

There.

Another thing crossed off a long list of things to do.

Never forget those small items.

Wednesday, April 13, 2022, 6:47:26 PM- A slight trip back

Kids today (by that I mean anyone under 30) are still kids, they just have different circumstances to deal with.

The younger ones that I work with are always telling me how much they wish they'd grown up when I did.

I tell them to turn off their phones, disconnect from the 'net and only watch the three major networks and they can have an idea what it was like.

The music was the difference.

Today, I have a hard time finding out who does a song I like because so many singers and groups sound similar any more.

To compare, listen to a song from the '50s through the early '70s and you can tell who the singer/group was. Everyone had a distinct sound.

The Beatles led the way, changing their music with every new album and everyone else followed suit.

Here's a sample of early Motown:

Enjoy my little trek down memory lane.
