What if?
What if I lose my job?
What if my unemployment benefits end?
What if I can’t find a job making what I made last year?

Waiting
I am not a patient person. If we are going somewhere it takes me all of 30 seconds to change from gym shorts & a t-shirt to slacks, a dress shirt and shoes. If necessary, I can be out of bed and out the door within 4 minutes. I’m ready. Lets go. I hate waiting.

I work well with others
I wish Gary Larson was still doing the Far Side. Good stuff. I have asked thousands of people what their strengths are and almost universally one of the answers is “I’m good with people”.

7 years down the drain….
Animal House is one of my favorite movies. It’s a classic. Maybe it’s because of the antics of the Delta’s. Maybe it’s the Omega / Delta rivalry. Whatever the reason it’s the movie that put John Belushi, Kevin Bacon, Tim Matheson, Peter Reigert and Otis Day on the map. (Otis actually was played by DeWayne [...]
