Everything

Well, it's Monday and the start of a new work week for some of you.  For Me?  Yesterday was hump day and this is the beginning of the downhill slide into my next 2 days off.  After that I'll be working through a 6 day slog.
There are changes happening in the store, people getting moved to new departments, two Supervisor position being eliminated (3 will do the work 5 used to do), and who knows what else.  The loss of 2 positions runs counter to what was supposed to be happening with this great tax cut.  Remember?  Jobs were supposed to be created.  These changes will be happening nationally.  Isn't that a big cut in payroll expenses?
The door are opening to a new US Embassy today... in Jerusalem... and the Crazy Christians are jumping up and down with glee, so self-absorbed in their own selfish beliefs they have lost themselves.  We have an Idiot Jerk in the White House who is giving a minority group everything they want without comprehending the damage he, and they, are doing.  This lesson will have a very expensive price tag.  For them, their Belief justifies Everything.  In the end, their Belief will cost them... Everything.
The weather today is supposed to 19 degrees warmer than yesterday, which topped off at 58 (F).  Clouds and showers are supposed to continue for most of the week.  Everything will be fine as long as their are breaks for the dogs to go outside and do their doodles.  Right now they're chasing each other around downstairs.  One of them has a squeaky ball and the other wants it.  As I'd said yesterday, Big Seig really liked my new socks.  Well, joy of joys, I did managed to get a snippet of video with him grabbing the pair with the gecko.

You'll get to see my nice yellow hallway.  I loved that paint job for years.  Loved the color.  But, things are going go change.  There's a new color coming.  Eventually I'm going to want to sell the house and I'd rather paint now and enjoy it for a couple of years.  Oh, it's probably not going to be as neutral as some would like...

Dr. Ronnie crashes into the Real World

So, it's Thursday and I'm off work today.  Then I get to work for 3 days before I have another day off.  My schedule next week is for having split days off - which is something I don't like.  Back to back days off is what I prefer.
I also see that Dr. Ronnie (Candyman) Jackson might be withdrawing his name for consideration as the new Head of Veteran's Affairs.  This is about par for the course.  If you praise the Idiot Jerk in the White House, and kiss his ass, you tend to get what you want.  Dr. Ronnie said the Idiot Jerk was in outstanding health, that he'd probably live to be 200 (he actually said that), and got himself promoted to Admiral.  And then, with a few swipes of his tongue, Dr. Ronnie got himself a nomination to a cabinet position.  Woah!  Doesn't Dr. Ronnie move fast!  The fact that Dr. Ronnie seems to have no problem self-medicating didn't seem to bother the Idiot Jerk in the White House.  Or like crashing a car under the influence?   No doubt he went to see Michael (The Fixer) Cohen on that one.  And you know The Fixer said "Don't worry Dr. Ronnie... Don't worry Dr. Ronnie, your fix is in the bag."  And Dr. Ronnie no doubt replied "I know the fix is in the bag... that's why I crashed."
Ah... well these flights into reality are simply too disturbing.  Shall we head back into something less... real?
To go with my new shoes, I bought myself some new socks.  Riding Socks.  Brightly colored!  ooohhhhh.....

They arrived yesterday while I was at work.  Holy Crap!  I couldn't wait to slip my little tootsies into them.  They're supposed to help wick away sweat.  You know?  I'll bet if Dr. Ronnie had been wearing socks like these he probably wouldn't have crashed.  Hell, he wouldn't even have been driving a car.  No way.  He'd have been too busy trying to focus his dilated pupils on the pretty colors decorating his feet, watching as he slowly twisted his toes from side to side, too awestruck to do anything but drool.
