More snow and a wintry mix is headed this way and let me be perfectly clear that “wintry mix” is not some form of a salad. “Smarter than the average bear” is looking pretty damn smart to me.
Never Forget Where You’ve Come From (As If Life Would Let You)
My new company pays us on the very last working day of every month. Yes, we get paid once a month. After not receiving any consistent, large income for some time, it was wonderful to finally get paid for the 12 days in December that I worked a few weeks…
2 Feet of Snow
Disclaimer:I received this pictured via email in a long chain of forwarded emails. It’s not my idea or creation but I wish it was. I sure have the ingredients in the front AND back yard.
Winter Extension
Winter continues to make himself known (Winter has to be a man with all the aggravation it causes) here in Pennsylvania. I woke up to a surprise of a few inches of snow on the ground and it still coming down. I got ready and headed to work, taking it…
Sometimes Strength Comes To Us In The Strangest Ways

My Bad
Dear Fellow Allentown/Philadelphia Residents: I am writing to apologize for a grave disservice I have unwittingly committed against you. On December 16th, 2010, I returned to the work force after three years of doing the job search full time. Since December 16th, we’ve had snow and ice. My new employer…
The Only Ice I Want . . .

We Just Pulled The String A Little Tighter Back In My Day
The job isn’t the only thing new for me these days. At the office, the copier, the printer, the laptop and don’t get me started on the phones! We are a small (but mighty) company and our receptionist left last Friday to have a baby (how dare she!). What this…
