Yeah, this will be another short one. The heat wave is back, but really, it doesn't affect me much since I'm inside almost all of the time anyway. Nasty coming home from work, though, no AC in the truck, of course. The storm that came through here Sunday night, or rather the line, hit Oklahoma Monday morning, we had the radar up on the internet at work, I wonder if Mom got much rain, it looked pretty heavy there for a while. It was only busy off and on at work today, much more relaxed than it's been lately. Plus we all got a free lunch today... well, a sub sandwich, bag of chips and a drink. Because we've all worked so hard. Maybe I'm getting bitter in my old age, but yeah, we've been working our butts off, the radiology department alone is $5 million above budget... and we get a free lunch. Not that I don't appreciate a free lunch, but I've heard it said that there's no such thing as a free lunch. And yes, it's silly to expect more out of a corporation, I know that. Until there's a perfect way to distribute wealth, the corporations of the world will just hang onto it, thank-you-very-much. Hell, if I had any, I'd hang onto it too. Let's see, I've talked about the weather and work, it must be time for... partisan politics! Baby Bush's numbers are sinking, and he wants another war... this time, a *real* one. Yep, he wants to clean up his daddy's mess in Iraq. So, why don't those middle-easterners learn that a *U* always follows a *Q*? IRAQUE. Is that so hard? or maybe IRAK. Even better, heh. Somehow I get the feeling that BB likes the idea of war. He has no idea that it could very easily bite him in the butt... not every country is Afghanistan. Our kid will die by the hundreds and thousands over there, and people will get pissed about it. Is it the oil? Of course! What does Baby Bush live by? Damn right it's oil. O'yeah, it's pride, too. The simpering pride that BB shows when he thinks that he's said something clever. Or rather, that his writers have put some clever words in his mouth. Yeah, yeah, all politicians have speech writers... but some of them could write their own speeches in a pinch, and they had their own ideas. Our sitting president does not have the ability for either speech writing or the thinking that goes into it He does have a more than adequate amount of pomposity, however, and he is a grand simperer.... I have been having the damnedest time trying to get out of bed lately. Every morning it just seems to get harder and harder. Is that just me getting old? Or am I really getting bored with my job? Not my work, but my job... I don't think that I'll ever get bored with my work....
