Good Afternoon, FS Warriors! It was 49F riding into work this morning, and it's about 68F right now; what could be better than that? I just returned from two back-to-back meetings: one to announce further layoffs, and two, to share my strategy for keeping the team going after I leave. Kind of like Sweet & Sour! Well, they wouldn't have offerred me the early retirement incentive if things were going well. Life is kind of like that: someone dies, another is born; one gets the goldmine, one gets the shaft. I feel bad for the people that will lose their jobs, but giving back my retirement won't help them; in fact, I'm moving out, so one of them can keep their job.
If you'll recall, I mentioned that the insane neighbor had destroyed the landscaping on the other side of my fence, with the Village President's permission, in the pouring down rain a week or so ago. I went to the Village President afterwards and told her that it was now their responsibility; I wasn't touching it. Well, yesterday, they did a fine job of landscaping. I am proud of them! I haven't heard from the Village Idiot in over a week, and I hope it stays that way.
They fixed my truck yesterday. I couldn't be happier! They fixed the radio antenna, that they had pinched when they tore out my dash to fix the A/C. And this time, they fixed the A/C again, which turned out to be a frozen idler pulley which threw the belt off. It was a bear to get at, so when they offered to do it all for $121.00, I told them to "go for it." They did great, and I'd gladly pay $121 again to be done with it.
DD had gone into the local hospital for sky-high blood pressure and chest pain a couple days ago. They did one of those electrocardiograms, and an angiogram, and said, there's nothing wrong. Sent her home late last night. I don't know if it was stress or what, but she has had 5 or 6 stints put in already. They said it was all working great. I'm trusting God that she was either healed, or she needs to get some stress out of her life.
I'm just holding my own on the weight thing right now. Been a little too much excitement in my life lately, and it isn't the kind you take viagra for. You would think the older you get, you would have less drama, but I do have a daughter and 3 granddaughters. I'm not saying that the boys don't ever cause problems, but I make them fend for themselves. I probably ought to do a better job of it for the girls also.
Anyway, I have a lot of work to do before I pass the torch here, so I had better get started. Hope everyone is having a wonamous day. Toodles!
