Makes Sense

I woke up this morning feeling like an emotional wreck. I guess with everything happening, both recently and in the near future, it had gotten the best of me. I got to work today and thought I left my gate card in the MrsWIXYmobile, which I drove yesterday. I had to wait for someone to open the gate for me. I later found my gate card in my duffel bag. I have been dragging along this day also.

I felt better after emailing back and forth with Brenda, who proved once again why she is one of my best friends. I still felt like I was run over and I wondered why. Cliff Note: Check out Brenda's post about her new car from earlier this week.

I went over to see what Bella posted about and saw she was a bit down also. I then turned around and looked at my calendar and saw that the full moon is tomorrow. At one time I worked at a MRDD facility as an activity therapist and I do believe that the full moon has an effect on how people feel. Cliff Note: Bella has posted an amazing photo on her blog. Go take a look.

I then emailed Bella and she concurred with me. One thing that Bella has in common with me and many others that we blog with is we don't pretend to be something we aren't. We let people know when we are feeling good and we let you know when we are down.

Struke referred to me as a super-blogger last night. I appreciate the compliment, but most of the time, I'm not too super. I think that's what endears me to others. Cliff Note: Struke has a few Elvis related posts as well as his winner and his loser of the week.

Hope the blues have gone away by now for you Wixy. We all have days like that, I think. Enjoy your weekend. :)

Cliff,
I do hope you are having a better day today. It looks like it's going to be a BEAUTIFUL day.

Hope you get out and enjoy some of it. A walk @ Silvercreek park would be perfect on a day like today!!! (you know me, walk, walk, walk!!!)

Cliff, you don't giver yourself enough credit! You're an awesome blogger!

I have found, with my own experience, that the effects of the full moon linger a few days before and a few days after.

Hang in there!

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
