Some notes....

The company I interviewed for last week passed up on one of the best candidates, as they informed me that I did not get the job. This means something better is waiting for me elsewhere. Furthermore, I'm not feeling sorry for myself yet.

We are still down to one car, as the WIXYmobile is getting some major transmission work. I should have it back by the end of the week.

About the Kmart liquidation: Kmart does not control the prices at the stores which are having the going out of business sales. There is a liquidation company which controls the pricing. My daughter had informed me of that and the local Fox affiliate ran a story on their news last night confirming that.

Catch me here in the next couple of days, as I tell about my latest treasure from Goodwill.

I always believe that if something doesn't work out.. it's for the better... It's very consoling and makes more sense to take this philosophy than to get angree/upset/disappointed...
Sorry you didn't get the job you interviewed for but I am sure that something better is waiting in the wings...
Cheers,
Leese

Word verification for this comment is BLESS!! That's a sign!!

Oh do tell about your goodwill treasures. I am a thrift store junkie! Every time we go through a new town I beg my husband to stop at the thrift shops. Some of my favorite days are spent rummaging through store after store. I really believe it's the thrill of the hunt!

Hey Cliff - this time last year I was in your same shoes... my business had crashed.... I'd had no income for months and months and months.... and felt like I was in the "desert" as far as looking for jobs went. But I found a good job, and you will too! I know it! Hang tough, and this "chapter" in your life will be closed before you know it... good things lie ahead!

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...

Expand My Territories

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV The verse above is commonly referred to as the Prayer of Jabez. I was impressed to find my copy of the book written by Bruce Wilkinson and read it again. Some recent happenings prompted me to reflect upon how my territories have been expanded. The Lord has been blessing me and I have really not deserved these blessings. The past several years, I have been sharing my poetry with my friends on Facebook. I also share the poems with others by writing them on index cards. These are usually received with smiles and people telling me that I should write a book. For years, I have been under the belief that poets and composers achieve the greatest fame after they start decomposing.  The last year or so, I have shared my poems with some best selling author...

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?
