Morning. Sunrise riding on the wings of a chilly south wind I guess autumn is here to stay :)
...I can understand adn empathise with this.
I was a similar work situation in my last job where what I knew was not appreciated except when it meant dumping a bigger workload on me (usually with no added compensation). It became frustrating to deal with inefficient processes and procedures that could have easily been streamlined but weren't because if you mentioned a better solution, you were usually accused of "complaining". It was infuriating at times to work for someone who was pennywise and pound foolish. We had old equipment, like our old offset press and bindery machines, that were basically held together by a wing, a prayer and bubble gum. which needed a full overhaul if not replacement. Meanwhile the CEO drove around in one of two a 60,000 - 70,000$ Jaguars, had a couple SUVs, and a 300,000$+ motorhome.
Even seeing me hobble about the plant or gritting my teeth in pain during those last couple years when having to bend down or lift a heavy box as my bones and joints were getting worse, didn't seem to matter.I often worked while while ill because the company effectively had no real "sick days" and if I called in or went home early because I wasn't feeling well, felt that they thought I was just "slacking off". My average day with commute was something like 13 - 14 hours and I'd be so physically and mentally exhausted (the latter from the bad workplace politics) when I got home I would make dinner, cruise the forums for a bit then go to bed so I could od it all over again the next day. It got to the point where I really was "living for the job" instead of "working to live", and getting paid pretty poorly in the process for it.
Stuck it out for several years hoping I could just make it to retirement age however when the firm reorganised after it was acquired by another company four years ago, I was one of several people they let go.
...spring is trying to get a jumpstart here but not succeeding very well. Lots of ool and wet in the extended forecast.
Doctor appointment tomorrow to get some paperwork filled out for my retroactive disability appeal.
There are already buds on the trees here.
What about the froggies? Every Spring we here them wake up and start chirping in the pond right across the street from my house. Well, a few nights ago I heard a lot of them. Then the deep freeze came...single digit temperatures and negative wind chills! Poor things. They got very quiet. Probably went back to hibernation sleep.

south winds colder than north winds?
equinox means we're halfway down the paranthesie in our journey around the sun?
is it my imagination waffles taste better at 2am?
...here spring i noted by
...usually as that is where our rainy weather comes from. The Pacific here is much colder than the Atlantic on the east cost as the current flows from north to south instead of south to north like y'all get there. The really bitter cold winds come form the east during the winter as temps on the other side of the mountains can get below 0° F. In summer we get the opposite effect when there is an east wind because the high desert in the eastern part of the state gets scorching hot. Sort of like our version of the Santa Ana winds in California but not as extreme.
...if you have real butter and maple syrup, most definitely so.
(Note to self, need to get waffle iron out of storage).
Yep, my family came from Tennessee.
my electricity still on. can hear them drilling. prolly have time to boil water for fresh cuppa tea.

Been on the phone about an hour trying to figure out something about Netflix. I am so confused at this point. I got transferred between Netflix DVD and Streaming so many times it is not funny. I am not sure what I can or cannot do about it. At least I have DVDs at this point.
where the rain dancers are?
I returned the ddr3 desktop ram I got. Amazonjust recieved it but did not issue a refund until I called. When I get a new desktop I doubt it will be able to use those ram sticks. Now to waitfor the funds to appear on my card so I can get netflix streaming back and to properly enjoy March madness.

Out of money for the one here and Wisconsin lost in overtime to Florida, 85 - 84 (on a buzzer beater shot) in that "other" MM on the telly earlier tonight.
..."hey little buddy".
...day went pretty well, even made incredible bus connections all day (usually never have that happen). The only downer was the overtime loss by Wisconsin in the MM basketball tourney I mentioned above.
