I think my jaunt to the Gulf Coast in a few weeks is the only thing on my calendar to which I’m really looking forward.
Maybe I did reword that sentence because I was thinking of something.
Kind of distracted this week with an insane work week for both me, and my wife.
Focus kind of disrupted by news from my old boss, who I’d emailed with an odd story about a radio tower being stolen in Alabamastan, about the death of the co-owner of the radio stations where I’d worked pretty much through college, and for a souple of years after.
Lisa was always very nice to me, and I’m very sad she’s gone. The first time I went back to visit after I’d left for the wild world where I’ve been for almost twenty years, she saw me in the lobby, and excitedly waved me in to her office.
How do you like your new job?!
I really like the work I’m doing. Not very happy with the company, but doing interesting work.
Her (then newly-ex) husband chimed in wryly, “They’re missin’ payroll.”
Um.
Yep.
I don’t know that I’ve got a ton here about my travails that’d follow with that company. I’m not dissatisfied that last news I had about he company president, he was living with his daughter in San Diego after his hippy wife had left him.
No, I’m not going to withdraw the aspersion about her. No shit, he actually was making business decisions based on what her medium in Sedona had instructed.
All that said, I was able to gain some knowledge while dealing with that less-than-ideal situation. Hopefully it’s served me somewhat later in my work life.
Towards the end of my time with that company, I was cashing my paycheck at their bank, then driving to my nearest credit union an hour away to deposit the cash.
Travelling on a crowded Interstate with hundreds of dollars in your pocket is more than a little uncomfortable.
But I got through it all. While I have some ill-will, none of it is directed to the radio world I left in 2005.
Listened to this during the first part of my writing.
I understand where Stockman is coming from, and generally agree with his analysis. I don’t agree that RFK Jr. is the answer.
Vote against the worst.
Looking at what’ll be on my ballot in November,
- Biden
- Trump
- RFK Jr.
Cornel West might well be on the ballot. The Libertarian Party likely won’t be because of the unmitigated disaster the Mises Caucus has unleashed.
Much like I would have if I was voting in the Nevada Republican primary, I’d probably vote “none of the Above.”
I should go try and prepare some for that big football game that shall not be named.
Don’t really care who wins. I’ve felt that way this entire playoff.
