looking,looking,looking

I am not writing this to get sympathy, or anything like that.  Sasquatch don't need no sympathy.  Wow, did I just go third person there. Yikes!
Anyways, back in July, while on vacation mind you, I get an email from the owner of the company I worked for telling me that I was laid off, and my services were no longer needed.
First, he knew I was on vacation it's not that big of a company, in fact I had just talked to them a day or two before that.
And second, an Email?!! really??!  not cool, or very professional.
Well, with great confidence that surely I would find something right away, I mean come on, who wouldn't want this sexy beast on their team!!
Well, its January 2012 and still no employment in the industry I have been in for 17 years.  This economy really sucks right now!  And this is hard, I have never had a problem finding work, all my life.  And you talk about a smack to your confidence.  Man!
So still looking, but I think I am going to have to take my own advice and stop looking in just my local area.  I have always said, if you can't find work where you live, you may have to work in a different location for awhile and then when things improve move back to the area you were at.
We will see.
I have not been on unemployment all this time, I just can't bring myself to take it.  I have been doing installs for one of the 2 big "do it yourself" home improvement box stores.  And if you want to know which, its not the orange one.
I will post about my experience with this store next.  You talk about a dysfunctional way of working, Wow
to be continued...

Three Equal Branches

In our family we have a saying.  If someone states the obvious, or learns something basic they should already know.  We say Duuuh, Big Red Truck.  It's from a stupid joke, the punch line being, Duuuuh, Big Red Truck!  In other words, Duh, your an idiot.
With that being said, We have a President that thinks the Executive branch of our Government is superior to the other two.  His organizational chart would look something like this:

                     President Moron (with all due respect)
      Do Nothing Congress            Stoopid right wing court





Then way down here,        Us Peons

Notice there are no states in between, he doesn't believe in states rights,  or else he wouldn't be suing states like Arizona for prosecuting their immigration laws.
When he makes statements like if Congress isn't going to do it, then he will just have to do it and get it done.  Duh, Mr President, Big Red Truck.  That's how the checks and balances were created by men much more smarter than you.  The Congress doesn't do the bidding of the President.  Your supposed to work together, as EQUAL branches of the government.  If you want something to pass through Congress, Hmm," pass through Congress" isn't that what usually happens, it's "passed" through Congress and dumped on us.  As I was saying, sorry I get distracted, :)  If you want something to pass through Congress go through the proper channels to do it, you don't have the right to bypass and just do it on your own. Wasn't this guy supposed to be a Constitutional Scholar?  He should get his money back, because he was jacked!
Mr President, read the constitution, you might learn a thing or two!

New Blog, New Musings

Aww, who am I kidding!  More Rants!! Whoo Hoo!  After having a blog for about 3 years I burned out in 2009.  Didn't have too many followers, just family and some pretty cool bloggers, that allowed me to hang around.
So, here we go again.
There are going to be discussions about Sports, politics, with some faith talk mixed in.  Now don't get all worked up, it won't be that deep! HA.
So, is it just me, or do certain people become morons when talking about their teams or the players on said team, or opinions about whatever.
"The QB on my team is the best, no one is even close, he is the best ever!"  "There is no way Alabama is going to beat LSU!"  As if the number two team in the country couldn't possibly have a shot at beating the number one team.
I am all for supporting your team, or opinion, but to be so closed minded that you don't even listen to reason, or little things like FACTS!!
If you read this and it sounds like you, well, then, your a Moron!
