Good Night, Sweet Prince

OK, folks. I have been remiss in my duties (the whole bogging thing). I am in the midst of some changes. Well, I quit my job. I told my employer that I was moving on. Why is it that they always act like it is a shock?

Well, I want to thank all of you readers for the great upsurge in readership. We had 3,176 hits. That is something like 100 a day. So you like me-- you really, really like me. I am hoping to give you more of the same. I know that this month has been a little bit of a wash, but I am here for you.

I do not know if any of you have left a job before, but it is strange on so many levels. Co-workers come by your desk to shake your hand and say goodbye.  But they are not really looking at you, they're looking around. Maybe it's because they're sad. Maybe they're going to miss me more than they thought they would. Maybe they don't want the tears to well up in their eyes and for me to see them cry--then one person says what is really on his mind. He breaks the silence and says,“You takin' that with you?” LET THE FEEDING FRENZY BEGIN. They are not sad to see me go, they are looking around at my stuff and taking a mental inventory to see what they want to take. VULTURES! Let my seat cool off first.

I am not saying that I have not been one of the vultures, but man, it’s tough-- "So you takin' that with you?" It’s a gold pen, of course I am. Even the stuff that is not mine it being picked over. It's one of those chairs with the lumbar support.  I am now sitting in an office with a box of paper clips and a picture of my dog. And I have one question, "Who took my action figures?" No, they are not toys-- I am over 30-- they are collectable action figures.

People pick over the carcass of the dead. Let my passing give you new strength, but like I said before, wait until I have died.

Oops! You mean I was suppose to let your chair cool off first before I pushed it away to my desk? Well that's what happens when rumors swirl around that you QUIT when you're out sick.

Anyway, you have really been slacking this month. No new post for 14 days. I'm so disappointed. You just left your audience hanging. Well I'll be checking back. Let me suggest a few topics--the "beautiful" female school teacher who was too pretty to go to jail for having sex with a 14-year-old male student (she plead guilty and got probation). What is wrong with these teachers these days?

P.S.--I'm gonna miss my tech guy with the wacky sense of humor.
