I just haven’t been adding chapters like I thought I would be.
I do apologize, and ask you to bear with me. If you have arrived here through a Google search, please poke around a bit and leave a message somewhere.
If you surfed in here from BlogMad or BlogSoldiers, hi there!
I’m trying, I really am, to figure out this “Beta” thingy going on. I’ve converted to Beta, and I have been working with my test blog (you didn’t think I was going to screw up my live blog, did you?) and I just can’t get some things to work – like the blogrolls. Without those, this becomes a very boring community, where nothing can be shared.
Any help?
God bless you all!
Why are you posting, Cary? Did something happen at work?
Yes, something happened at work.
Friday, we were scheduled to have a new air compressor wired in. You know, cut off power to the building, the power company comes in, does it’s thing, and power is restored; and they all lived happily ever after.
Except the electrician decided that Friday was a bad day to play with electricity. So, he didn’t show up. Everyone else did, which would have worked out quite well, since the shop shuts down at lunch time on Fridays and they all go home. No power? No problem! No one was there to be interrupted, anyway!
The hook up was rescheduled.
For today.
Between 9 and 11, which is really convenient for everyone except those who depend on power for their jobs. Like, the designers, who’s computers are useless without excited electrons.
You wimp, I remember back in the day we could draw up the cabinets by hand, and the shop would build them no problem.
You wacko, I remember back in the day that could happen because the people building the cabinets were trained to read the papers and could actually communicate in the language they were written in!
I digress…
So, I head back to work at 11, and ready or not they promised we could punch in at 11. We’ll see.
I pray God’s blessings on each and every one of you, even if you don’t have the same political beliefs that I do.
Today, boys and girls, we learn what to do in the event an emergency vehicle with it’s light sna sirens comes towards our vehicle. Please note that these steps are assuming that you are driving on the right.
Step 1 – Make sure you can safely execute a lane change, signal, and move as far to the right as safely possible.
Step 2 – Stop your vehicle, and watch the emergency vehicle’s movements, as they may need to go where you are stopped, in which case you need to move your vehicle.
Pretty simple, yes?
Please notice that I said nothing at all about continuing on your oblivious way, blocking the emergency vehicle’s progress, nor did I mention stopping in the middle of the road with no warning or signals whatsoever so others around you have to take evasive action in order to avoid your vehicle. And I certainly didn’t say to use the emergency vehicle as a quick way through the traffic and lights ahead of you.
Can you tell I want to find a place where most people know how to drive, instead of just the fifteen or twenty percent of us here in the Valley of the Sun?
God bless you all, and please drive safely.
