Dec 30 - New Years Eve Eve

-
Very busy at work this week.  In the payroll business, you will always have the same amount of work to do, it will just be on a condensed schedule.  Tomorrow is the national holiday, but I am working.   but, in my position as a Director, I don't have to work tomorrow - I want to go.  If for no other reason than to buy the team lunch, let them know I appreciate what they do.  I am fortunate to have a very high functioning team, and I let them know that when it is appropriate.  It is very frustrating that I commend them for doing 13990 packages correct in a month, while others may only focus on the 10 that they didn't do correctly.  but, good enough is never good enough I guess.  at any rate, we have some higher temperatures, rain in the forecast, so the winter is taking a break.

I was looking at the stats that the site keeps on the blog.  Are there really folks from around the world that read these posts?  if so, please post a comment - I would be interested to know if the stats kept are correct.  and also to know if someone is actually reading these posts.  who knows - I really do enjoy writing every few days.  if only to write.  one of these days I hope to do something with my love of writing.  I have jotted so many plot lines down for my first novel.....and have yet to complete page 1.  maybe this year......

anyway - one more day left in 2010.  what will 2011 bring?  what will we do differently?  what is the one thing that we want to accomplish that we will stick with until completion?  For me:
- lose 30 lbs
- read a book a month
- start the web site I keep talking about
- and a few more things

I will update more tomorrow.

Will winter never end?  This weather sucks - can't do anything outside.  and, looking at the pics I post, you know I love to be outside. so, Gov. Fudd   Quinn has come up with yet another bit of geniusness....giving a tax break to families with kids.  http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/pat-quinn-taxes-state-illinois-speech-families-20120128 at a time with a bottomless pit of a budget deficit, and handing out tax breaks to every corporation threatening to leave Illinois, we are cutting more taxes to a special group...now, just who do you suppose will be asked to make up the difference?  and, of course, when the TEMPORARY income tax increase expires, what then. How ya coming on fixing the pension mess, Einstein??? Gov. Quinn:  please tell us your IQ.  If the question confuses you , please make a confused face and answer with your fingers. Does anyone miss the obligatory outdoors pic?

finally Friday. due to the overwhelming success of my Ghost Moose story (in my own mind), here is a parable entitled: THE WOLVES In a nice town where wolves were not indigenous, a wolf showed up...then another wolf....then many wolves.  The townspeople asked the government to help them get rid of the wolves...the government said "no - we will set out food for the wolves, and make them places to live".  the townspeople said "but we don't want wolves around here.  they take up space that we townspeople built, and we cannot go there because it is unsafe due to the wolves.  the wolves have gotten into our schools, and our kids cannot learn at the right pace because the teachers are too busy dealing with problems caused by the wolves.  we do not want wolves around, so please stop feeding them and making places for them to live."  The government said no - wolves are ok, and we even want them to vote in your elections.  Get used to the wolves, they ain't goin

Not much left in 2011...and each day we are a bit closer to spring... The toilet that is Illinois will be enacting over 200 new laws at the start of 2012. http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/new-year-comes-with-more-than-200-new-illinois-laws-2012-20111228 In these laws, I cannot find: - a law limiting pension abuse, and illegal enrichment - a law limiting the public's exposure to pension debt - a law prohibiting insider deals from  politicians - a law prohibiting municipalities from selling assets that have been paid for by citizens - a law prohibiting illigal aliens from parasitically consuming resources paid for by legal residents the list could go on forever.  these 200 new laws are largely to keep the middle class in line so the rich can continue to be richer. and if you throw out your compter, prepare to be fined. Illinois - what a shithole.
