Laptop fixed and other notes

Bad thing about a laptop is when the keyboard is messed up, you have to get that repaired. With a desktop you replace the keyboard. Even a simple repair of a laptop keyboard is more expensive than replacing one for a desktop. My 53 year old eyes couldn't see to put the parts back together. But sixteen dollars wasn't that bad.

This evening at 7:30, Diane Vogel Ferri will be reading poetry from her Liquid Rubies chapbook at the following location:
Visible Voice bookstore
1023 Kenilworth
Cleveland, Ohio 44113
216-961-0084

Kathy and I are looking forward to this event and also looking forward to meeting a fellow blogger who also is in the same profession as our daughter, a special education teacher.

And at this point the WIXYmobile is still sitting in my company's parking lot in Cleveland. I hope to have it back up and running pretty quickly.

A d if you've been following my Sunday Musings, tomorrow's will be about mission statements.

Cliff, It was great to meet you and Kathy last night. I'm sorry we didn't get to talk more. I didn't see you leave and was hoping to chat a little more - but we always have our blogs to do that too. I really appreciate your support and coming all that way to hear me last night. Looking forward to sharing more in the future. Diane

Sorry I haven't popped in latly. I still haven't paid my bill, so have to use the library computer. I don't have as much time on it.

I'm thinking of getting a laptop next time. My computer fills my small kitchen table. I haven't been able to eat on it in years. lol

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...

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?

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...
