FIRED!

7/30/2008 7:53:33 AM FIRED! Yes Indeed, I got Fired! Let me explain. From my writings above, Sally & I attended an all high school reunion in Bruce SD. So I filled out a leave slip (TWICE) to leave July 21-25, 2008. I turned my request for leave in much earlier and trusted that my team manager, Paul Miller, would sign the form and approve this request. I even remember visiting with the three of us when I was “counseled” once for not telling a customer the right info. I explained to them that we were planning to leave this last week and I would be willing to work with Alorica on Saturdays to make up the difference. The chief operating manager told me verbally he would happy to approve any leave and if I wanted to make up the hours I could do so. So I take Alorica’s word for what they tell me. I do NOT even think about getting any written agreements. What ever happened to trust? Forget it! So I proceed to make up the hours I’d be missing and arrive outside my scheduled hour

ALL HIGH SCHOOL REUNION

7/21/2008 8:49:27 PM VACATION: Whew !! I’m Tired !!! Sal & I are trying to make a trip to Bruce SD for Bruce’s 125th anniversary of its existence. We’re excited! In the meantime, we need to prepare for such an adventure for 400 + miles north of us. I’ve been going through our checklist and I’m pooped!! I’ll write later. 7/25/2008 6:08:16 AM BRUCE SD Well, here I am in Bruce! So far it’s been quite a ride! Yesterday there was a contest for the queen bee. Today is going to be an all high school reunion. If anyone has ever graduated from Bruce and can cough up an extra 25 they can attend this reunion> BOY! I need to get my typing fingers in working order. I am very pleased that my baby sister and her husband John has decided to buy mom’s place J We had supper here last night and Janet brought the food. Sally & I ate out for breakfast and lunch, the ridge and Nick’s hamburger respectively. They’re tearing up the main street of Brookings SD. BOY, what a mess! Hopefu

Dr. Bill Roy

I have permission from the good Dr. to post Dr. Roy's www.cjonline.com articles. I will post these on a weekly basis. Archives can be found in our local paper. Bill's column follows .. you're welcome Bil. Column for week of July 2-9 2008//692 words//from Bill Roy Father Time is doing what the Germans, Japanese and their allies could not do, taking the lives of the 16 million Americans who served in World War II. The Department of Veteran Affairs estimates only 2,5 million are living, and others estimate WW II vets are dying at the rate of 1,000 a day. Whenever I see the obituary of a male over 80, I look to see if he served. Almost without exception, he has. Many served twice, being recalled for the Korean War that began less than five years after Japan surrendered on August 14, 1945. And, some served only in the Korean War, "the forgotten war," which was just as deadly and just as miserable, and had less national support than WW II, setting pattern for future

SATURDAY MORNINGS

7/19/2008 10:56:36 AM SATURDAY MORNINGS: Saturday mornings is one of my favorite time slots for me. I get up, do my usual bathroom duties, etc. and get ready for my morning financial advice. But before I start learning I need to get my red green humor on pbs. Fix. Then the www.foxbusiness.com tv is in order. I watch intently and write down the stocks to search. These financial programs are then analyzed in my expensive computer systems. Also, I’m hoping to scratch off one # on my handwritten bucket list as posted on www.myownfaith2.com

DECISIONS-DECISIONS-DECISIONS

7/17/2008 5:09:27 AM That’s the subject of my writings today.. DECISIONS. Every day we need to make a decision. I have decided to get up. That’s a decision. I’ve decided to write in my public blog to write about decisions, That’s a decision. I’ve decided to password protect some of my writings. That’s a decision. I’ve decided to handwrite my bucket list and make a web page on page two of our web site. That’s a decision. Where am I going with this? I’ve decided I’m going to quit my job at Alorica the end of next month no matter what. That’s a decision. Because of my decision, my attitude was changed totally. I felt a happiness I haven’t felt in a long time. This job SUCKS! Last night I couldn’t take it anymore and left an hour early to relief my stress. The spa at the downtown Y was a temporary relief. I feel sorry somewhat for the new people coming on looking for a job. They are in for a rude awakening. Someday I’ll write about my experiences at the call center. My l

UNKNOWNS

7/14/2008 5:11:42 AM UNKNOWNS: I’ve gotta delete the unknowns from my outlook express address book. So many unknowns with only an email address, no name and town, etc. I sent a global email to that effect. We’ll see how many negative replies I receive. I could care less anymore.

TONY SNOW

7/12/2008 6:55:20 AM TONY SNOW I am saddened to hear on Fox news about the passing of Tony. He was in my life as a news person and also another follower of Jesus. Of course I’ve never met the man, but sure would have liked to meet him. Another hero of mine, Tim Russert, died a few weeks ago. My heroes are dying. ONE MORE REASON TO WORK ON MY BUCKET LIST AS POSTED ON OUR MY OWN FAITH 2 COM WEB ADDRESS.

Cell PHONES on the WEB

7/11/2008 6:35:24 AM SO MANY WEBSITES .. SO LITTLE TIME! This Internet on cell phones is getting too much! Last night we had Sprint Instinct training at work. Then this AM I hear on Fox & Friends that there’s a line formed for the new Iphone. Are people stupid or what! I’ll NEVER stand in line for any stinking phone! In fact, I’ve decided yesterday that my days are numbered at the call center. My emotions were reversed when I made that decision. One of my bucket list #’s will be crossed off. Soon. My

FREEDOM

FREEDOM: It all boils down to that one word, FREEDOM! That’s how our country is run. That’s why we’re the BEST country in the world! I’m reminded of the song by Lee Greenwood where he sings “I’m proud to be an American, at least I know I’m FREE.” These turbulent times couldn’t be more appropriate than to reflect on the freedom’s we do have! My freedom is that I have the capability to write whatever I want, when I want and where I want. If I were living in a 3rd world country, the thugs who hate my freedom would have confiscated my laptop months ago. I would not be sitting here writing about our freedom, but working for a socialistic society and making the same salary as everyone else. There’s no freedom of expression there. So anyone reading this, please be thankful of the freedom you do have. I will now freely post this to my public blog without fear of recrimination.

My Beloved Sally

Hi all, I made it through the procedure ok. I almost passed out though. It is called a vegal response. Guess that's cause I was somewhat nervous and didn't know what to expect. They were good to me though. Had to monitor my oxygen level, blood pressure, etc. When they stuck the needle in to deaden the area, they were amazed that I didn't jump or anything. When they put the needle in to draw out the fluid, I got so hot (like a major hot flash that you've never experienced before) and almost white and almost passed out so they had to lay me down and give me some cold compresses on my forehead and around my neck. That seemed to help. I could have probably driven by myself if I would have known what to expect but I'm glad Myron went with me. It will take awhile to get some of the test results back. Some, she told me, could take only 3 days to come back and some take longer. The doctor wanted a bunch run. They took out about 1/2 cup of fluid. They say I didn
