The rich keep getting richer

It's like Christmas. I received my new monitor yesterday and now I have to figure out how to calibrate it. hmmmm geez - I have so much more space on my desk. I can REALLY fill that extra space up with random crap now!!  Look at the difference in size.  Technology is wonderful.


Now I can have a monitor JUST for the weather station.  Before when ever the station (www.columbuswiweather.com) went belly up I would have to unhook the monitor from one computer and hook it up to the other.  There are no switches that will work for hooking up one monitor to THOSE two computers.  Weird.   OH - all the geeks say there are but once I show them the plugs and connections and so forth they get this glassy look in their eyes.

I keep having conversations with people about Walker and they can not see why State employees are so pissed off.  Their argument goes something like "Well, WE don't have health care and pay $1000 a month".

I WANT to say - THAT IS YOUR CHOICE!!  You decided to NOT work for a place that gives you health care.  We took a job that pays less so we can have affordable health care.  You decided to work for a smaller company with no health care - it was your choice.

This whole not getting a raise thing does have me baffled.  Was anybody expecting to get a raise?  Come on!   I laughed - State Employees got emails saying basically nothing but directing them to go to a website  . . .except that website is blocked at DOC!  LOL

Did you see that the richest 1% made 275% more money since 1979 while the middle class have 40% more money in the same time period.

Facebook, ever hear of it?  They are going to build a huge server farm near the Arctic Circle to take advantage of the climate.  SWEET - how would you like to be relocated to 60 miles south of the Arctic Circle.

There is a new show coming on November 6th on AMC called HELL ON WHEELS - Deadwood fans might like this gritty western.



Don't forget to record "Once Upon A Time" Sunday.

HEY - Survivor - WOW - I won't give anything away but as Jeff Probts said - BIGGEST, BOLDEST MOVE IN THE HISTORY OF SURVIVOR!!   I can not WAIT for next week.

Cheers
Rod
