Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Fine

Last night I went to our Holiday Party - it was okay.  They kept the same menu as last year:  some sort of beef with mushrooms and dried chicken Parmesan.  I won a door prize:  a $10 gift card to Subway (which I gave a way) and a bag of Butterfinger candy bits (which I gave away).  I don't table-hop like some do... just not my style.  The truth is I'm not a big party person and as I grow older I'm even less of one.  The large corporation I work for, just like every other large corporation, wants you to be best friends with your associates.  That will never happen.  The last thing I want to do is spend time with my friends talking about work.  I do not bring my work home with me.  I do not take work with me when I got out to the movies or to dinner.  My life is simple, I like it that way.  My life is fine just the way it is.
And evidently last night Christian Bale won a Golden Globe for playing Dick Cheney in "Vice."  I understand he thanked Satan... in his very fine British accent.


Inspiration comes in all forms and shapes, doesn't it?  
And today is Monday and I get to go to work.  I have off Tuesday and Wednesday which is nice.  For the next couple of weeks I'm only working 32 hours per week.  That's fine, too.
There is also an interesting clip floating around out there of Faux News' Chris Wallace calling out Sarah Sanders Something or Other for lying.



You know you've been caught lying when Faux News starts fact checking you.  This was fine with me.  She gets paid to lie.  She spoon feeds the Republican base their bias and their racism for big bucks.  I'm not saying she doesn't believe those lies.  I suspect there is an ugly crook in her heart and she's fine with that because she believes.  She doesn't understand that her grandchildren will mostly likely marry people with brown skin.
And this morning, before I ate my oatmeal, I sat on the sofa for a bit, Big Seig on my left and Lily on my right, and let me tell you those moments were very fine too.

  1. I too don't bring my work home with me, nor do I take it to the gym. I don't socialize with my co-workers outside the office either; 40 hrs/week is enough. I like simple and uncomplicated life the best.

    1. They gave away 36 door prizes. the 'bits' didn't bother me too much, it was the Subway gift card. The last thing I want is to go near jared's meats.

  3. I despise Sarah Fuckabee with every fiber of my being. I hope she chokes with a ham. And Bale thinking Satan was a hoot! Love the Brits and their humor.

    1. Yeah, she is rather reprehensible, isn't she... and just think, she spawned.

  4. Ah...Murphy sits on the couch with me, his legs on the floor and his hindquarters perched on the cushions. Just like a person. Yes, those are find moments!
