ust in case you didn't know - it's: "Plant Your Pickle Day"! No really ... The longest day of the year once was concidered that, err ummm -or- maybe my old gal pal of mine was just giving me a hint that went right =whoosh=over my head? There's only a few of my good friends that I've NEVER forgot their birthday and Sandy is one, she turned 60 today. So, even though I haven't seen much of her these last few years (since I quit drinking) I realized it was her birthday as soon as I wrote the date down first time & called Her immediately to wish her well & stuff.

irst day of summer and things are looking up on my side of the screen. Hoping it's the same on your side too!!! First and foremost, for those who know - I got a job yesterday, not new job -but- a JOB! (it's an old employer that needs me back) Nice to feel wanted & needed and even nicer too have something to wake up for every day. I've really been feeling worthless since Zeks death.

o fill those in who didnt know: My business partner and best friend died from a car accident this spring. His passing left me not only without a true friend and mentor -but- Also being most of our 'business' was his name and relied on his rep & equipment. So that ment I lost my only employment. Well, the hotel I work at during the slower periods - supplemented Zek & my income during the down periods for our venture, Was sold to a 'hotel family' for lack of a better description, and I ultimately had to train their family members for my position. Which because of my ability to multitask and various skill sets - was many different places inside the hotel, From bartender, Maintenance then front desk/night auditor. Well after training my replacements, I literary "work myself out of work" But I had Zek & my painting business to fall back on & we were reinvesting a percent into the company as to build it into a more reliable and sincere business to have as our sole future income and prosper from it. Well, that's the place I'll be more or less filling in for a couple position to work. Which brings me to:

Have you ever taken a job KNOWING you're going to quit

have a feeling there will be a lot of YESES on this one ... Being people have to make ends meet. So when an opertunatly arises to make short term money, most will take the spot and leave when something better comes along. So if you fall into that category ... Did you feel bad about it - at all? Wanna share one of your 'transition' jobs?

eing a past owner and manager, I often ran into people that I could spot as in a transition period & I knew that they probably wouldn't last, but -BUT- SOMETIMES ... it works out for both parties. Although it depends on the circumstances, I know how costly and the risk involved in hiring someone who will probably leave shortly. So, My answer is YES I have ... but I dont like to.

nowing my former - soon to be current boss most likely plan on disposing of me when my services are no longer needed there - Well, it has made taking this job knowing I might being leaving sooner than they planned alot easier than if I didnt have a past with them. I have another plan, that involves a REAL future and 'IF' and/or 'WHEN' that ever comes into fruition I'll leave rather abruptly & without much notice.

y comment today is a variation of one that was a once posted greeting. Actually not much but the flowered font graphics are even the same. Added a little of slide.com magic and some of my own graphic tricks to finish off the comment you seen.

ideo is Brian Adam's "Summer of 69" for the new seasons starting today. I could only think of a couple songs that had any kind of summer theme. I almost went with Will Smiths "Summer Time" but went with my rocker instinct and kept 69
