think Bill Mahar had it right when he said that budget shows where the politician's true intentions lie....

so guessing NYS politicians are concerned about the extremely wealthy or poor, and not about anyone else. and only paying lip service to the idea of education (let's cut education spending AND cap local taxes so districts have no way to recoup the reduced funding).

nice New...

wow, a tell tale sign of where priorities are. in New York State, the legislators are proposing more program cuts...to health care and education. since I'm a substitute teacher, I'm a member of NYSUT (New York State Teachers Union). don't ask me what the acronym stands for. one article has a sign of where priorities are...

in 2009, according to the Institute on Taxation and...

so feel like a "bad friend" as of late here...people might think i don't read your blogs or anything, I do. please realize if I don't write something, either I'm too tired (which is happening more and more lately, since I rarely sleep more than 4 to 6 hours at a time now before my body decides to wake up) or have nothing to add....

is it counter productive of me to do a 30 minute work-out or so...then grab a 2 liter of Mt. Dew and chug some of it?

just wondering.

and what about you?

VALENTINE'S POEM 4 THE BITTER

Hearts and roses and kisses galore...
What the hell is all that shit for?
People get mushy and start acting queer
It is definitely the most annoying day of the year
This day needs to get the hell over with and pass
Before I shove a dozen roses up Cupid's ass
I'll spend the day so drunk I can't speak...

well, its official, I have shot my sleep schedule to shit again. this is fun...then again when you work 2 different jobs, one has you working 11:30 PM to 8 AM 2 to 3 days a week, and the other one has you waking up around 5:30 AM because you might be called in up until 8 AM that day....it makes life fun.

yeah, that's...

almost done with this damn cold that started about a week ago....I'm coughing less, less phlegm, less mucus pouring out my nose....the good signs. still a little sore and not sleeping more than 5 or 6 hours at a time, but it sure beats the 3 1/2 hours only I got Tuesday before having to work an overnight shift.

think that's about it....got home after...

a truly fucked up situation that occurred at the store around the corner from where I work.

damn, shoulders have been sore the past few days and I have no idea why.

in other news, new night crew chief where I work. he knows the overnight cashier (full time one). could be interesting. waiting for a shit storm of drama to start...

a coordinator (think low level manager) told an STL (think middle management) that he feels he's the only coordinator who...

quite chilly outside, but the laundry is folded and put away (so there, NeNe!).

now time for bed and figure out how to cook chicken tomorrow....boneless, skinless chicken breasts and having someone with such ideas as "I can't eat chicken unless its browned" and "You have to have something to put on rice" as her mottos...this could be interesting!

low of -6 F (-21 C) or so on Monday, high over 40 F (4 C) on Tuesday.

yup...gotta love upstate NY!

wrong of me to suggest the following for someone's who's ex-boyfriend is spreading lies and causing problems for her...

1. register his e-mail at NAMBLA
2. register his phone number for telemarketer websites

just curious...at least I didn't suggest sending a male stripper or even better a tranny stripper to his place of employment.
