For most of my working career in the food service industry, Mondays just started the work week which usually ended on Sunday night. The days were marked by a work task, Mondays food ordering, Tuesdays retail items for the Gift Shop, meeting days and so on. Now being retired, Monday can mean any damn thingContinue reading “Monday”

No Excuses
Absolutely none. I took a day off from everything and I mean everything so I will resume with a kick-ass post tomorrow after my wake-n-bake and I am looking forward to posting another song I wrote as I like to do on Mondays. Wednesdays will be the day I post audio excerpts from my book.Continue reading “No Excuses”
Tomorrow it is Then
Super Bowl Sunday. Food paradise. Alcohol nirvana. Party time! Close friends, family get-togethers, oh, and shouting and screaming. Lots and lots of shouting and screaming. I will only squawk about this once and then I will climb down from my shaky old soap box. Take care. We are finally making gains against this killer virus,Continue reading “Tomorrow it is Then”
Learning to Drive
The way it looks on reality shows like Father Knows Best or Leave it to Beaver, is that the kid approaches the parent about three years too early, to start the Process of getting their driver’s permit. After jumping through all the requisite hoops Mom and Dad put you through, including the awkward “lessons” theyContinue reading “Learning to Drive”
Dialing it In
An expression that refers to effort, and how much a person gives of themselves. Instead of fighting and battling against something, isn’t it easier to just “dial it in” with minimal or no effort? I can’t do that. Never could. My problem many times, is giving TOO MUCH and OVERREACHING. Sounds weird, but that’s howContinue reading “Dialing it In”
Attitude
Just left my Doctor’s office. Great news. Because my A1C bloodwork came back at 6.6. It is the lowest A1C I have ever recorded. To tell the truth (since I lied all those years before), I was surprised it was that low. I mean, the test measures your average blood sugar levels over a periodContinue reading “Attitude”
I forgot this
I try to include some of my original music In my Monday blog posts. In this week’s entry Girl Crazy, I forgot to do that, so, in a major effort to get better at keeping my promises, here is a second post for today. I am including my song It’s High Time I Left. IContinue reading “I forgot this”
Girl Crazy
So I’m in Las Vegas at the beginning of the decadent decade known as the 80’s. For some reason, I had it in my head that my mission as a fat little Bumblebee of Love, was to pollenate as many “flowers” in the valley as possible. And although I was not blessed with children, itContinue reading “Girl Crazy”
Pain
I have a very high tolerance for pain, as evidenced by the still-full bottles of Oxycodone in my cabinet. I have had a total of 20 surgeries, 6 of which were considered “major.” I do not like pain pills, I don’t like ANY pills. I am sure this stems from my inherent distrust of BigContinue reading “Pain”
Customer Service
Who doesn’t want good customer service? Probably the same idiots that don’t practice good customer service in their own jobs. Good customer service is NOT a request; it is a condition of employment. That from a pep talk to one of the many restaurant staffs I hired and trained. This does not solely pertain toContinue reading “Customer Service”
