To the last penny

Good Afternoon & Happy Tuesday, bY

I was going to do this post on my way to the movies. I didn’t go to the movies, I had a change of plans.

Today is Tuesday 03/26/V3.3 & it is a great day.

I didn’t go see the movie, due to commitments to work. That I need to go to Place 4121 & Place 7007. I had to get things done. So instead of watching a movie, I took a nap. That’s how Vernon J gets things done.

So apparently Barack Obama is proud of the fact that he is the first President of the United States of America to say ‘Say Same Sex Couples Should Be Able to Get Married. He is also the first President of the United States of America to not present a budget when he is required too on at least 4 occasions. So look at this picture.

YES I get fired up when people don't do there job.
YES I get fired up when people don’t do there job.

The word of the day is wrest which is to take away by force.

So I went to Definitive Vision to get my correction lenses looked at, they are rubbing on the back of my ear & need to be adjusted. They were closed until 13.30, but those are not their posted hours. I’m pretty disappointed in that behavior. Also my Sprint phone had a terrible time connecting to foursquare & ow.ly posting service.

I’ve also figured out when my new shift will be. Starting Sunday, 06/03 I’ll be working 06.00 to 15.30 Saturday – Thursday. I wanted morning shift, so I can go to my other two jobs. They had an 11:00 to 7:30 shift, but that would’ve screwed up my ability to work my 2nd & 3rd jobs.

Getting off at 15.30 actually helps, I can get to the other office by 17.00 & work till till 20.00 or 21.00. But first I get though VIII wekks of training which runs from 09.00 to 15.30. 1st shift, I hope you’ll welcome me back with open arms. We can do this.

Well that’s it for now.

Letter’s to our Elected/Appointed official

Good Morning & Happy Wednesday Readers,

It appears that Omaha & MECA are trying to pull the wool over our eyes about loses to the Civic center.

It seems that MECA Omaha could take some of that $1.19 million from operating the three venues & cover the cost of the Civic.

That is what a good steward of the taxpayer’s would do.

I have an e-mail out & will update the posts, when I get responses from the parties contacted.

Vernon:
I learned this morning from Acting finance director, Al Herenk, that
there are $250,000 budgeted for 2014 to cover the anticipated costs
through June, 2014, when the facility will close and he stated (and will
state publicly today at the public hearing) that he thinks that number
should cover the costs.  Coincidentally, that is the current number
budgeted with MECA.
