So why aren't we doing anything more in Libya to help the revolution against Moammmar Ghadaffi, more than just the "strong urgings" of our government? The rebels call to the west for help and all our leaders can do is hold meetings and discuss. A few western nations like France and GB have also called for no-fly zones while calls for Ghadaffi to ( Read more... )

Happy Thanksgiving one and all! I hope you have a wonderful holiday, however you observe it.

Don't think I've ever discussed my living situation or my roomie, but here goes! I found a place in a nice section of town, actually it's own village, renting form a guy my age. It's his house and he lives there too. He's divorced and has two children, both currently in college. He was adopted into a wealthy family in the NE part of the state, his ( Read more... )

Got on LJ and looked at the friends page, my usual routine, then thot about posting something, just nice and quick. I clicked on "post" and apparently, my last post didn't take 'cause I had a dialog box pop up with "restore draft" as a mssg. I restored it and posted it. Go read it, it's an interesting post, which is an accomplishment on this ( Read more... )

When you log in, there is usually a "writer's block" feature where LJ staff pose a question for those who don't have a topic on which to write. Usually, the question doesn't hit me. This time, it did. They asked if there were any scents that evoked childhood memories. Very appropriate since this is Fall and these memories involve that season ( Read more... )

Long time since I've been here. Longer still since I've posted. I never really posted that much anyway, not feeling that I had much to write about. Facebook suited me better; short, little bursts of what's going on in one's life. Little sound bites. But I checked back every once in a while and thot I'd leave more than comments on the pages of ( Read more... )

I took the bull by the horns today at work and spoke with my director about the write-up (which still hasn't been redone by my mgr). I've worked for this guy for the past 4 years at another property and now the current one. I made my case with him and he said we'd all have to sit down and discuss this. I didn't try to harpoon my mgr, but I did ( Read more... )

I'm battling a lot of things this summer. right now I'm fighting for my job. Seems our new mgr wants to get rid of me. He already tried to write me up (it's stalled, for now) and a buddy at work has filled me in on what he's been saying about me. I will most likely lose my job, unless this guy gets fired first(could happen). I mean, what does one ( Read more... )

Spring is fickle around here. We have a few days with temps in the 80s and it really gets ppl going. But today it's 59 for the high. Yeah. Takes them awhile to remember that it's still early spring, lol. The big push now at work is to get our outdoor pool ready for use in the next 8 days. That's the desire of our GM. In this area, outdoor pool ( Read more... )
