This space for rent

Posting will be sparse for awhile due to conditions beyond my control. Seems my employer is serious about deadlines, and getting work out.

I don't remember signing anything like that when I got hired?

    Clearly these people you work for need to re-think their priorities.

    Bastards!

    I was just cursing work and real life responsibilities recently, too. Let's start a petition to outlaw shit like that.

    Why do employers have to expect people to actually work? That takes all of the fun out of it.

    Thanks for your nice comments, by the way!!

    That is exactly why I don't like to work - bosses and work. Damn it! But don't stay away too long. Only one of us can slack off blogging and it seems I've been taking the lead on that.

    Can't wait to get back to goofiing off... er... I mean, blogging.

    I was just coming over to your blog when you commented on mine. It sucks about deadlines, doesn't it? I'm so glad I'm a pion, no deadlines for me, just deadbeats. I usually work the graveyard shift too, so no pressure there.

    That looks like a Chicago Streets and Sanitaion Work crew! Usually there's one guy reading a newspaper, another guy asleep in the blue truck, two standing around talking and one, usually a very young guy, doing actual work. There's a joke here in Chicago-- what's Blue, got six wheels and sleeps four? A Streets and Sanitation Department truck.

    The NERVE! I can't believe they actually want you to work! Stupid employers.

    Hope to see you soon!

    That's a hilarious pic & caption, although it's probably not as funny if you're Chris.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
