Janurary 9th 2014: 7 Years Ago & 7 to go

Today in 2007 the Apple iPhone was introduced. You have to watch this video! It is a shortened version of his full presentation. and it basically shows how the iPhone has completely affected the cell phone industry. I mean 2007 January 9, 2007 was not that long ago my friends! Here's a blog posting I made in January 11,
2007
.

7 years and I can retire from the state. Ummm.......
I decided to include this video from the Today Show that rebuts the Rush Limbaugh storyline that the term "Polar Vortex" is a left-wing conspiracy to promote the "agenda" of climate change! Well, Al Roker just tells Rush to just "stuff it"! I love it!! Its good that Al Roker came out and DEBUNKED some stupid right-wing talking point. See the mainstream media needs to stand up and be counted and just call it like it is!! Stop worrying about what Conservative blow-hard on FOX is going to say
over and over about you!!
Speaking of politics, top Aides of Chris Christie order lane closings on the Fort Lee side of the George Washington Bridge. This was proven by emails that were leaked yesterday. Jon Stewart had to lampoon it.Jon Stewart points out that the state flag of New Jersey has a severed horse head!! I hope you like all the videos I have put in over the last 2 days. I want to liven things up!

I overslept for the meeting. I knew it when I woke up to SUNLIGHT!!
Well walk the dog put some videos on this blog got
to work a half hour late. In the meantime I heard from you know who from Penn and was assured by another good man that he is taking care of business today.
I got to work
late today so I decided to fetch coffee for my work mates and in fact one of them is paying for my coffee smile :) The Dunkin' Donuts is two
blocks away on Chestnut Street. It's cold but it's not ridiculously so. I'm wearing my new fancy hat and only two layers instead of five. Well they made me wait about 1520 minutes
but I think I got the order correct. To ensure that I wrapped the receipt and written out order along with their change to ensurehassle-free living !
Yes it's 12:29 PM, me sludging away at work and
then hitting group and then meeting a friend seven at the Starbucks so we can see a movie at the Ritz. We go to the sink Dr. tonight just

I got a little bit of downtime. Now I'm going to group
I'm leaving group early going to movie with a friend and then both of us will go to the
same psychiatrist as you both have late-night appointments. My friends a lawyer that we met 2 years ago at the waiting room
Dr Cohen. Waiting room is a trippy atmosphere!! Just take my word for THAT!!!
Yes we ended our appointmentsat 11:24 PM and I'm so thankful that my friend has a car that
I can't even believe myself being so tired.
My friend didn't want to call the vet to Overbrook so I just told them to drop me off at suburban

The Week that Was: October 3rd to 7th.

This week has been well, pretty funky. October is usually a lite and fun month for me unlike March and April. I just found out one of my dogs probably has congestive heart failure which her days are numbered. June is on meds now. There goes .$200 down the tubes just for x-rays, to visit and prescription. We do have to look forward to  making a life and death decision soon.  This overtime is really tiring but I can not wait to see the $$. Its has just gotten really old I know I need the money.   except on the bus but that's very limited this point size I walk to sleep another day away..
It's weird things feel melancholy but that's only way I can describe feeling at this point come to the type stress and he really didn't deal with now the realization that heavy times are and it's October and  still eastern daylight time.
His famious speech concerning this mortal coil
    Weds night we went to Dahlik and it was quiet. We saw the Brewers play the Diamondbacks. The really big story was the death of Steve Jobs. He had pancreatic cancer for 8 years. CNN showed the same 8 photos over and over. They also had his famous commencement speech from 2005 at Stanford . He spoke on personal topics including death. I heard this statement:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life

Workin it!
SECA Auction!!
Thursday I woke up from a cold overnight and did not sleep very well. It was COLD and I was not prepared for it. I did not work the overtime this day since I had a Zoning Meeting. While going to this meeting I met up with the RRCA Director and her assistant. They were very pleasant and it was a nice conversation. At the end of the conversation at 7:21pm, I get a text message that the Zoning Board meeting was OVER! They had 4 folks and passed the minutes and some resolutions. The folks wanted to have a decision with 7 member and we were not even close, so I did not miss anything. I went to the Oar House with Linda and tried some fun beers. I have been drinking the cheap stuff like Pabst and Lager since the $$ is tight. We had a good conversation. She will be resigning the Zoning Board after next month's meeting. 
Working so Hard, the Computer has a Hernia!!
Yesterday, Friday,  I drove in to work feeling tired again. I found that I do not like to drive the commute to work. I felt a bit shaky on the road and did not feel relaxed at all. Work was bearable and I got a little OT in once again. We had a SECA kick off. SECA is the State Employees Combined Appeal. We had a fun auction to start the fund raising and had a good laugh. I then went over  Jon's house and picked up a pizza at a place called Joe's Pizza. We were joined by Pat and watched that wretched Phillies game which will go down in history as one of the most painful finishes ever. Yes, I include the 1977 Phillies Dodgers Playoff Game game referred to as "Black Friday". Guess what last night's DEPRESSING 1-0 loss was on Friday October 7th!!!! Scary aint it??

Oh well it's off
