Knocking
Good Morning & Happy Saturday,
I think someone knocked on my door. I have a door bell.
Today is Saturday 11/10/V3.3 & you know what?
I’m not putting any of my 40+ hours at work today. You can carry your own stuff down the line today, buddy.
I do love stupid internet postings, but these are teachable moments. I therefore taught Dave.
The word of the day is nictitate which is an easy explanation of what we did yesterday.
Have a GREAT Saturday.
1st Song of the Day
Are we no longer facebook friends?
I was ‘challenged’ by Allison to see if I could get under CC friends on facebook.
By Challenge I mean, I should her the list of friend requests that were denied, or just being ignored.
Apparently there were some additional deactivated accounts that now allows new friend requests to be approved.
IF you felt that your unfriending was unjust. Then you can reapply. If you liked this status, you are not eligible for a confirm. YOU should now that I’m not a Husker-football fan, it was a trap. I thought I would get the easy numbers for removing. ONLY 4 fell for it.
So send those friend requests.
Oh we’ve done it
Good Morning & Happy Friday,
We are working our last day of the week. YEAH, I’m off Saturday.
Today is Friday 11/09/V3.3 & the FNP is here!
We don’t have to work tomorrow, no overtime, no other job. We are going to celebrate how we do it.
So I have to be at work in 149 mins or so.
The word of the day is cahoots which is in partnership; in league.
I get to see Mindi tonight.
That is ALL the President of the United States is talking right now.
Quotes from the World for Friday 11/09/MMXII
The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has streched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.

Seize the Day
Good Morning & Happy Thursday,
Are you going to NOT do what you said you would, cause you’re tired? NO you are going to SEIZE THE DAY!
Today is Thursday 11/08/V3.3 & we only have 120 mins of work today. YES it was suppose to be 0 mins of work, but that changed Tuesday.
NO it didn’t have anything to do with the election.
So I have worked IX days & XII shifts. I signed up to help (volunteer) at The Salvation Army. As I am tired, I was thinking I would not go. BUT then when I woke up this morning at 06.58, my first thought was seize the day. SO that’s what I’m going to do.
After I get done with that I’ll come home and do laundry. YOU can help if you want. YOU do the iron part & I’ll do the washing part. Please?
The word of the day is quid which is a piece of something to be chewed but not swallowed.
Oh!
I think that this is ALL done. Vernon J out.

Good Morning & Happy Wednesday,
We have time, WE HAVE TIME!
Today is Wednesday 11/07/V3.3 & it is a brand new day in America.
As you know there was an election last night. I voted for Willard & Erica, those two individuals lost their elections. BUT everyone else I voted for won. I voted AGAINST term limits & voted FOR the other 3 amendments to the Nebraska Constitution. YES I’m disappointed that Barack Obama won the Presidency again.
This is how I feel about our future.
It scares me to think that my kids, your kids, will inherit debt. After the Revolutionary War & Civil war. They raised taxes to pay that debt. Everyone did their part. None of this ‘special classes’ we were America.
If you get a chance to watch I.O.U.S.A. The most important issue to me in ANY election is fiscal responsibility by the Government, local, state, & federal level. We need to raise taxes & cut spending. So we move on to MMXIII. There is an election in Omaha for the City Council & Mayor. Get out there and help support the candidate that you think will help Omaha.
The word of the day is glean which is to learn, discover, or find out, usually little or little or slowly.
From a post on twitter
Yeah, I think we should be allowed to moderate 1 social network post or comment a day. Choose Wisely & you can change the world. #WeAreOff

I think if we had that power we would see less stupid stuff. YES I’m sure there is one or two people who would delete some of my posts. BUT as I would have that power as well, it would be okay.
So tomorrow I get bonus work at the City, I’m also volunteering with The Salvation Army to help with Christmas Sign-up. They offered overtime at First Data, but I don’t want to work overtime on Saturday. I want to enjoy my day off.
So now I get in the kitchen and wash dishes,
tomorrow I do laundry.
So this is it for now.
Vernon J out.
