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...

Using Cyrus

Saturday - after today I'll be half way through my 6 day stint.  And I'm back to 40 hours per week... no problem, just extra buckos in the bank.  Tax season's coming up which is not as painful for us in East Pennsboro as for those in surrounding townships.  A number of large corporations have their central offices here, like Delta Dental, and Highmark, to name just two.  They just finished building a brand, spanking new hospital only 2 miles away.  I also get a bit of a discount because my house is considered "historic."  A prime example of how there is a lot of value in 'old age.'
I saw that Martin Shkreli was sentenced to 7 years in jail yesterday, and not one of those "summer camp jails," rather one with real criminals, who are going to desire intimate relations with his ass.  One article I read said that he was 'tearful.'  Did anybody get a picture of Shkreli crying?  If so, copies should be sent to every one of the people his pricing policies screwed over.  Welcome to the real world shit head.  His Karma was soooo bad.
And let me say a little about Cyrus, the Great.

You don't know this, but he bears a striking resemblance to my friend Levi, that's about as far as it goes, however.  Why do I bring up Cyrus?  Because there are Crazy Christians out there who are comparing the Idiot Jerk in the White House to him.  Prophecy, you know, Jerusalem, and moving the American Embassy there.  The Idiot Jerk fed this belief by quoting Cyrus.  This is one of the reasons Evangelicals let him get away with banging porn stars - he's special.  He's fulfilling prophecy is what they believe.  They don't understand this is also how you manipulate a specific group of people.  This is how evil works, gives you what you want.  Slyly, of course, so you don't realize you're selling soul.  This is how you manipulate people to do your beck and call.  The Idiot Jerk wants them to believe.  To be perfectly honest, he's not even close to being smart enough to think this up by himself.  Someone as devious as Netanyahu is, though, and he and the Idiot Jerk seem to be the best of friends.  Can't you hear Bebe whispering in the Idiot Jerk's ear "Use Cyrus to manipulate them.  Use Cyrus."
