Kind of a slow day today. Nothing really going on.
Friday was a little interesting. First off, Gram was pissed because Heather came over Thursday night. I hate to break it to her (and anyone else), but this is MY house! I will have anyone over for as long as I want. If you don't like it, leave! That all being said I made dinner for the two of us and that perked her up. Today she was fine.
Jobs...Chuck
I picked a bunch of cucumbers (again) from the garden Friday evening. I'll take a picture when I pick more on Sunday. I can't get rid of them quick enough, and I don't even eat them! Friday after work I took my brother to pick up his van that was in the shop. He lost his job a couple weeks ago, and I am sure he's been in the dumps about it. And next week his live-in is making him go to North Carolina to visit her mothers grave. She didn't like her mother much when she was living! For his sanity, I hope he gets a job soon.
Speaking of jobs, my old company (TranTech) lost the contract at Census. I'm sorry for the people on the contract, but there seems to be too much of a middle management layer, that wastes a lot of money. I don't know who won the contract, but I wouldn't be surprised if I get a call from a head-hunter looking to fill a slot.
Live Earth (Happy 7/7/07)
I watched some of the Live Earth concert today. Basically, it wasn't very good. And the hypocrites were all over the place. Use less fuel, but most of the people at Giants Stadium in NY came to the show in an SUV. And the celebrities were all in limos. Yeah, they care about the Earth.
I don't mean to get on my soapbox, but the things that they say you should do, I am! I take public transportation to work everyday, drive a smallish car, grow my own garden, recycle, and avoid wasting energy. The steps that these people recommend, I'm already there and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Then the whole thing about Global Warming. If you do a quick Google search for solar system warming, you will see several articles going back 10 years discussing how all of the planets in the solar system are warming. Maybe the sun is in an active stage and that's the culprit, not a million SUVs. Personally I look to use less gas to save money. Or should I say, spend money in other places. I'm sick of being made to feel guilty about the whole thing.

I would be interested in talking to you about your old employer - as I too worked there, at the office. Which contract did they loose? How many people, etc. I knew some over there as well and would be interested to see if they are looking for work.
