The Long, Lost Weekend
Something of a hiatus, for reasons, so...let's catch up. Saturday was OC duty -- not too bad, not terribly busy, and for once the pain in the rear clients were early in the day. We still had 519 clients for the month, which is...impressive. Anyways, then it was home a bit and then back to the Village for the Nite at the Races -- one of our fundraisers for the new roof. I was running the kitchen, though as we had food brought in, it was mainly keep warm, plate, and serve. Dinner was in the Ironman Center of CCC (instead of the social center) and while it was a pain to move stuff there, it is newer and nicer. I would say the event was a success -- 116 dinner tickets sold, about 100 overall, cash bar, several gift baskets, a wheelbarrow of hooch, etc. Fr. did make the comment that the roof will cost $1.75M, our fundraisers net about $30K each, so... we have 58 events. Oi!
Sunday was Mass and then I helped out at a Communion breakfast, which was fine, but for some odd reason -- probably heat and tiredness -- it kicked my ass, and I didn't do nearly as much as I wanted to do. I did catch up on some reading/links/websites, which was fine, but... my plans to hit the hay early were slightly modified when two friends -- one after the other -- came over to discuss the stuff of life and get my take on issues. Yes, it was amusing, but I hope I was able to help. Anyways, I went to bed at the normal time but then I couldn't sleep. Alas!
Today was...long. Lots of stuff to do, for reasons. Also, we have had some layoffs, including on my own team, and now I will be having additional duties. Some I think I can do, some not sure; some of those were involved today, as we were trying to find stuff on the drive to put in a report. The person who maintained them is gone, and I am doing a Humpty Dumpty impression. Much to do and learn, and not exactly a lot of time do it. But... I am still employed, and I think I can handle it -- I just need to learn! Anyways, it was a long day putting stuff together (J! is still on Tivo), and in consequence I just hung out here tonight. Alas.
The Welfare Trap: How They Bought Your Obedience for $642 a Month
This is exactly correct -- I say it all the time myself -- and now when we in the GOP have a chance to try and change it... oi. It is quite depressing and for those of you who believe that both political parties are actually the same one... this is more than enough evidence to do so. I mean, look at the bribes we are pulling to get Murkowski on the board; you would think someone would say that if Alaska can't fix their SNAP system, it is their problem, and we in OH and elsewhere shouldn't have to pay for it, but...
