Orange, Red, and Blue

Good Morning, Afternoon, and Evening people.  Weather forecasters are predicting that our high this afternoon will be in the low 70s (F).  Tomorrow's high should be in the mid 70s (F).  Temps are supposed to increase until Saturday, at which time rain is going to once again come into the picture.  Some forecasters are predicting at least an inch of rain on Sunday... again.  We had rain this past weekend thanks to a Nor'easter.  If this keeps up, I'm going to have to mow my lawn again.

So, I worked yesterday and a change happened.  Around 5 PM I was called back to the office.  Usually when you get called back you've done something... wrong.  Being the wonderful associate I am, I knew that couldn't be the case.  I was correct.  My position has been changed, and I have no problem with that.  I am no longer a Flooring Specialist, which means no more sales goals, credit card goals, or measure goals.  I am now a Flooring Aisle Maintenance Associate, at my same rate of pay, of course.  The change was done because corporate only allows so many hours for specialists and that number is predicated by the total dollars in sales.  Basically, our flooring sales aren't high enough to warrant 2 full time and 2 part-time specialists.  This is actually fine with me, because I've really gotten tired of having to call people up to try and talk them into buying a flooring installation.  In my mind, this is a win, win situation.

And I'd like to remind you about the Orange Anus and Carrier, the A/C company.

Back in 2016 there was a big "to do" about Carrier moving its manufacturing to Mexico, and Orangie intervened.  He was going to save all of those jobs.  One of his deals was struck (do you know where this is going?) and jobs were saved.  800 jobs remained in the US, however 1400 from one Carrier plant moved down to Mexico.  Other Carrier jobs followed.  I'm bIringing this up because yesterday Orangie made a big announcement about a steel plant opening in Iowa, a $15 billion steel plant.  Iowa, a very Red state, is very close to turning Blue, and Orangie is scared shitless, hence his $15 billion lie.  We all know that plant will never be built, let's just hope that the Iowans have grown smart enough to know how much Orangie lies.

The Rats Are Learning Too Late

Good Morning World.  Our outside temps here in Central PA are in the low 60s (F).  They will climb into the high 60s (F) this afternoon, but that's just the beginning of a mini-warmup.  By Thursday we should be flirting with the low 80s (F) and no, this is not Indian Summer, or whatever you call the annual fall warmup in your neck of the world.  Things might get a lot warmer, too, because there is a "planetary heatwave" (meteorologist word) heading towards California.  That wave will move east, they always do.

Yesterday was a full day at work, and boy were things slow.  We had to deal with rain in the morning and national football in the afternoon.  Because we are centrally located (literally), we have Giants, Eagles, Ravens, and Steeler fans... oh, and Commodore fans, too.  This means that football lovers can pick their poison, so to speak.  No matter which team is playing, shoppers stay home, except for the Asians who are into soccer. 

So, I've begun playing Kingdom Come, Deliverance II and so far there's far more dialog than sword play.  Last night I did have to cook up a chamomile decoction to save Henry Capon, back in the 15th century many people attempted to ply alchemy.  This means I now have a recipe book to carry around.

This pic has garnered so much negative press, the words "negative press" might be an understatement.  It was posted by Dan Scavino Jr., a man who went from being a golf club manager to being Orangie's White House Personnel Manager because.... golf?  Perhaps?

These people are going to be brutalized when the real world tears their delusional world asunder.  I don't think many will survive.

I saw on "Joe, My God," that the Orange Anus attempted to sell American weapons systems to Communist China.  He's still desperately trying to perfect the art of the deal.

And I got a decent chuckle this morning from Steve Beschloss, a conservative writer who is profoundly against this administration.  He's reporting that those Republican Senators and Congressmen who've gone home to work on their re-election campaigns, are horrified to learn that 71% of American utterly despise the Orange Anus.  I've" already mentioned "delusional world," so if you listen closely, you can hear those seams beginning to rip apart.  These people simply refuse to understand that they have become the ultimate minority group.  As Beschloss said, "the rats are learning too late that they should have jumped ship long time ago."
