What you wish for

A husband and wife, both 50 years old, were surprised by a genie that popped up in front of them. He said "I give you each one wish." the wife wished for good health for her and her husband. The genie said, "Granted." The husband said he wanted a wife 30 years younger than himself. The genie said "Granted." Poof! the man became 80 years old.

Remember be careful what you wish for it may come true....

Never make a job decision based on money

The mercenaries will always defeat the draftees, but the
volunteers will crush them both. Chuck Noll

People who are forced into something (draftees) will be the least effective, while those with external motivation (money in the case of the mercenaries) will be effective to a point. However , those with the internal drive , who have signed on because their hearts are in it, will rise to the top. Do something that you want, no love to do and the money will follow. Most of us will not have the same job in the near or distant future. why toll away at a job that is not personally rewarding. If you only work for money in the long run it will show most likely at work and at home, and is money worth ruining your life or health over. I for one think not.

Giving Notice

I wonder if a employee is expected to give 2 weeks notice before he leaves his job, do the employees have the right to the same expectation of their employer. If you change your terms it's expected but what if they change your terms of employment. Now I don't mean that if you are going to be fired that they should come up to you and say you suck and I'd just like to let you know that in two weeks your FIRED!!!! But what if the company is to be sold and there is no job guarantees shouldn't the employer let you know that a change is coming. I'm pretty sure that Benjamin Franklin said give me liberty or give me unemployment insurance.

Albanese's Restaurant

I eat here all the time it's one of my favorite Italian restaurants ( Albanese in the Milwaukee area the Brookfield location) I was there for dinner I had a pizza and a salad which I have had many times before and for that matter I have had most everything on the menu which is all good. when the pizza came out the sauce was all the way to the edge ( one of the things I like most about their pizza is the very thin crispy crust) that made the edge of the crust soft and doughy. When I mentioned it to the wait staff as more of a FYI I was told on Bocce ball nights it gets pretty busy so sometimes the cooks whip the pizzas out pretty fast and the next time I was there to mention that I would like a crispy edge. I left the restaurant and I thought about the wait staffs comment and I said to my self...self your one good looking DUDE!!! but I digress why should I have to ask that the pizza is made correct I go their expecting the normal which is very good food, so i guess that comment caught me off guard. I will go back again and have dinner there but a comment like that to someone else might drive them away. One last thing if you go make sure to try the cold red house wine very good.

Where has the time gone

Not that long ago (really or at it feels like not long ago) when I was in High School we had the Walkman a device that was the size of a small book that could play a cassette tape and we were cool. I have now learned that this will be the last year for the Walkman Sony will discontinue the item at he end of 2010. It made me think about one of my other favorite items the Boom Box, and let's not stop there when is the last time you thought about replacing your car stereo or adding a equalizer or maybe some Coaxial or better yet Triaxel speakers ( a nice set of Jensen's) Now we have our music on small mp3 players our video on ipods or both on our phones what happened to a nice belt driven turntable ( still have one great for classical music) well I have to go Now I have a truck with an Am/FM only radio and bad speakers, were going to have to change that E-Bay here I come.

A Place to Stay

Most of time I know that you read this blog and we talk about the things that make me unhappy but in a change of pace we are going to talk about a success story. Last week the company I work for ( ShoreMaster ) had a meeting in Duluth, MN we stayed at The Inn On Lake Superior. Nikki Anderson and Her staff was nothing but great. all my expectations and more were met by all of her cheerful and knowledgeable staff. If you have a chance I would definitely stay at the Inn On Lake Superior in Duluth, MN.

Eating out II

Back to the children's menu why do they only seem to offer mac-n-cheese, chicken strips,french fries, mini corn dogs, grilled cheese sandwiches and smiley faces filled with mashed potatoes. why can't we have a skinless breast of chicken or steak for the kids. maybe mix in some rice or vegetables lets help make our kids healthier buy the food we eat. Just the thought of one, I can't be alone can I......
