My poor Wife

She was stuck we the kids for two extra days.

Thursday she had to take both kids to the doctor’s office.
However their appointments were 3 hours apart. Our daughter had strep throat. The son had a bad cold.

That would have been bad enough. Things are never that simple…

1. Doctor’s office is 1 hour away.
2. Weather went bad. Started to snow (bad enough that the schools were closed)
3. She had to wait another hour to wait for the strep results.
   

Of coarse because of the snow and ice, school was also closed on Friday. My daughter finally gets a day off from school and they close the school on her.

What are we doing to our Kids?

I hear people say that kids are out of control these days. Because of this we control every little detail of there life. We no longer allow them too go out and explore and learn. They are supposed to get everything out of a book. What ever happened to “Life Lessons”?

When I was young (er), we would go out to an open field that had tall grasses and weeds. A path was opened that led to our ‘fort’. Today’s kids do not have that opportunity as often.

In Florida a 13 year old student was suspended for 10 days and could be banned from school over an alleged assault with a rubber band. EXCUSE ME !! Is there a new type of rubber band on the market? Maybe the have razor blades built in.

Threatening his teacher with what administrators say was a weapon. Interesting. We all know that schools now have a zero policy when dealing with weapons brought to school. If we follow this idea, go into a school admin office and find a rubber band, it is our duty, no OBLIGATION to call the police. We can not allow this ‘weapons cash’ to threaten the rest of the student body.

Is it any wonder today’s kids act out. ?

God save the future.

Hitchhiker's Guide

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is coming out at the end of April.
I think the fad of the books is over. Will only have a small niche
market. I remember the books and the video games that came out. But
the times have changed.

Office Politics

We are always placed into a position of office politics.

Over the weekend I was put into the in-fighting going on. I went into the office down the hall and retrieved a flat panel monitor of ours. I put back onto the desk their original CRT monitors. It takes up much more of a foot print. This was done because my boss and the lady in the other office are in the middle of a small battle.

He wanted me to swap out the monitors Friday. That way he was not the bad guy. I did not want to be placed into that position. So I came in over the weekend to do the deed.

Because of the pissing fight of these two, little real work is getting done. Both blocking the duties of each other.

What should I do?

What would you do?

There are others out there.

I got my first feedback.

Thanks Andrew from http://opinionsae.blogspot.com/

Must admit that I did give him feedback but it still always good to know that someone sees what you are doing.

I have been bad at updating my website. I am not completely happy with the layout. Part of me does not want to keep adding content if I am just going to tear it down and start again.

I started the site with the idea of making it a storage area for jokes and other items that I have received in email.

There were a lot of good items coming across and I did not want to loss them all.
Some was funning, some made you think and a few brought a tear to your eye. Because a lot comes from female friends there are a lot that are for the girls in your life. It was what they like.

I am getting ready to add video files to the page also. Glad I have 1gig at VizaWeb.

The next thing to add to my blog is a counter. I know a few people are coming around, now to see just how many.
