Sometimes the cover is better than the original. And this proves that technical prowess and virtuoso is nothing compared to telling a story with emotion. Johnny Cash exceeded at both.
If you’re not close to crying after listening to this, you’re heartless.
If you don’t laugh, you ain’t got a funny bone.
Because I have a rule that I don’t post about my job, I haven’t said anything about the promotion I was vying for this past couple of weeks. Well, I didn’t get it and I’m taking it hard. When I was told that I didn’t get the promotion it was explained that I didn’t sell myself well enough in the interview.
See, the problem is, two of the three interviewers see me work every day. They even mentioned how hard they see me working when explaining why I didn’t get the promotion. But they also said they had to act as if they didn’t know me when they did the interview.
So, that means all the hard work, the willingness to step in and help out, and the fact that I displayed leadership in the act of doing my work didn’t mean shit because I failed to project an image of leadership in a 2 hour interview. So, basically two years of hard work didn’t count against a snapshot in time.
Yeah, not feeling very appreciated or valued as an employee right at the moment.

Anyone remember this from the early days of blogging, before youtube even existed?
(BBWW) At any rate, the Koch brothers, for whatever reason, are phobic about publicity and they go to great lengths to hide their connections to seemingly independent and grass-roots movements. I’m sure they have their reasons; not everyone likes the limelight. But you would think that if they believed their causes were noble and good for everyone in America, they wouldn’t go to such great lengths to keep it under wraps.
Modesty is one thing, and anonymity is admirable when you want the focus to be on the result rather than the benefactor, but it almost sounds like they know what they’re doing is nefarious and that they’d be ridiculed or even prosecuted if the bread crumbs led back to their lair.
I couldn’t have written it better myself.
That is all.
Move along. Nothing to see here.
Especially dirt!
Actually, I’ve taken a break from cleaning the house. I’ve managed so far to vacuum off the furniture, dust, sweep, and mop the living room floor. I’m now warming beans and cut up Polish Kielbasa on my gas stove. I might not have mentioned this when I first posted about my new apartment, but I have a gas stove and oven. I really, really love gas! It heats so much quicker. Plus it’s easier to control.
We have the latest development in the national joke known as “Stand Your Ground” gun laws. The murderous jerk who killed a man in a Tampa theater yesterday because he wouldn’t stop texting may be planning to use a “stand your ground” defense.
Curtis Reeves, Jr., a retired police captain says he feared for his life after the victim ‘assaulted’ him with a bag of movie popcorn.
Really? The man left the theater and came back. How much you want to bet he left to go get his gun. That’s premeditated. That’s not fear of his life.
My plan today is simple: sit about the house and read.
That is all.
