MORE OVERTIME!!!

So, I answered an email from a member of management a few days ago and said that yes, I was greedy/stupid/whacked-out enough to take on eight hours of overtime tonight.  He called me tonight and asked if I would be interested in coming in for another eight hours tomorrow.  I agreed.  That’s sixteen hours of [...]

California – The Mind Boggles

I got this in an email from Dad a little while back and I have to say that even I find myself floored.  I mean intellectually I know California has a bigger problem with bureaucracy than the music industry has with drugs, but this is getting ridiculous. Now, I’m not in any way saying that [...]

Felonious Wood

No, I’m not talking about some male prostitute or stripper.  I’m talking about actual pieces of trees.  And you’re probably a felon because of this load of bullshit.  It’s bipartisan bullshit that was actually vetoed by then President Bush whose veto was overridden by that circus full of clowns we call Congress. Here’s a small [...]

California Facing Worse Budgetary Concerns Than I Am

Nevada’s not the perfect place, not by a long shot.  Still, we’re doing better than California.  I don’t love this place only for the gun laws and open spaces, I didn’t leave California only to follow a romantic interest (even if that was a large part of the reasoning), and I’m not just staying here [...]

Have you no Shame?

This is the title of an article/posting that Jeff sent me. It originally appeared on Blackfive. Go and read the whole thing. It is easier for me that way. By the way, Blackfive should be on everyone’s favourites. No further discussion is required. I sent Kath an email telling her that I would try and keep [...]

Yet Another Reason I am an EXPATRIATE From the People’s Republik of Kalifornia

You cannot offer me enough money to make me move back to Kali.  No, not even a free use of a fighter jet.  And this time it’s not even guns my head is about to explode over.  No, it’s not that nasty, pernicious Second Amendment in the crosshairs of the criminals in Sacramento.  It’s the [...]

That Does It – If I Have Kids, I’ll Home School Them On An Isolated Island Or A Sailboat On The High Seas

Looking around at the world we live in today, the world I live in today, I really don’t recognize it.  It’s not anywhere near the same place it was only a short 14 years ago when I graduated high school. It’s gotten worse.  Much worse. And the schools are some of the worst places of [...]

Send Lawyers, Guns, And Money – The Mayor’s Just Abandoned The People!!!

No, I’m not kidding.  Those are the three things I’d be calling for if I were in Wellford, South Carolina. What other rational thought would cross your mind if your mayor had just said this: From WSPA: Chris Cato Published: September 18, 2009 Updated September 18, 2009 (Wellford, SC)—The Mayor of Wellford is defending her [...]
