Don Chalmers’ dealership received the most reimbursement so far.
“I pay my bills,” Chalmers said. “If I was three weeks or four weeks late on paying my taxes I suspect that they would be in my office real quick.
“We just expect the same sort of courtesy and treatment from the federal government.”–Article
Welcome to a taste of the headaches medical providers experience with Medicare.
Obama: GOP conspiracy out to kill health reform
/I just wanted to be able to use Electric Boogaloo in the post title
Got a call from the office this morning at 4am…
Yeah…I took care of things, and fell right back alseep, but it set a bad tone for the day.
Then the gym didn’t have any hot water (cold shower = yuck!)
It was one of those days…..
Heat Gives NYC Dangerous Smog Problem
The combination of heat and humidity alone are just disgusting, epsecially as of late. But the environmental factor is yet another disconcerting variable. (Though the former two factors are disgusting enough that the third is largely invisible).
There’s an epic thunderstorm going on right now too!
During a discussion at lunch today, one co-worker was remarking how now adays, with her cell phone, she doesn’t even remember the phone numbers of people she dials frequently.
As she put it–everything is in my phone…so i don’t memorize them anymore.
Me on the other hand, well, I’m old fashioned I suppose. With phone numbers I use for work, I dial them so often, that I have a lot of them (both phone and fax) committed to memory–depressing isn’t it? But even with my immediate family, I have all their numbers in my head too.
What about you?
Obama: Encouraged on Mideast peace
Does he live in a different world than I do?
Today’s interesting event at the office (the A/C system failure is no longer interesting–as it’s become common place).
I was asked by the marketing guy if I wouldn’t mind posing in a few photos. Little did I know what was going on (nor am I the photogenic type).
So I was posed in a bunch of photos, which are likely going to be used either on our company website or marketing materials. Go figure.
This of course lead to joking in my department..with even the silly idea of a “calendar” being floated (I mentioned that if they made one with me in it–my mother would naturally buy a large quantity of copies).
It’s all in a days work I suppose….
A coworker decided that she wanted to drop some weight quick–and decided with some friends to try the “Beyonce Maple Syrup Diet”
Let’s just say she didn’t even make it through the day. (Lesson learned: most celeb fad diets are just junk!)
If you really don’t want Meghan McCain to have an impact on the GOP…than why not just ignore her?
Just a suggestion….
Here’s two more posts on the uproar caused by the Whole Foods CEO’s op-ed piece.
One from the Consumerist and another one at Instapundit.
As for me–I went to Whole Foods this morning (as usual). They not only had blueberries on sale (always a win) but they now have frozen organic broccoli for $1.70/bag! Their conventional product is $1.99/bag (both 16 oz).
[That's cheaper than Associate, Food Emporium, D'agostinos or Gristides--all of which are my local grocers fyi].
As a result of an opinion piece the CEO of Whole Foods authored in the WSJ, some of the more “hard-core” progressives on the Left are calling for a boycott of the chain.
As an individual who patronized Whole Foods (I go for the high quality fresh and frozen produce–that’s it. Most of the other stuff is just crap and or grossly overpriced IMHO)–this leads me to wonder–will the boycott lead to shorter lines? That would be a major plus!
(Ever tried shopping after work at the Columbus Circle location? If so–you’ll know what I mean).
The damn AC went down at work for the third time in a week!?!?!?!
Not the way to start the day…
Ugh…cable went out again. I ‘m too tired to call TWC now. I’ll give ‘em a aring tomorrow.
But still headline worthy:
Biggest NYC Union Backs Bloomberg Opponent
Now doesn’t the Mayor feel stupid for selling out the city’s finances on these sweetheart contacts he gave theM?
Some people travel the globe…I however, have been to at least half the cities in the ‘Fastest Dying Cities meeting‘
Cleveland, Youngstown, Canton, Detroit, Flint (MI) and Buffalo have been on my visited list. Actually, I’ve spent loads of time in the first two. Dayton I’ve only passed through, and never made it to Charlston.
Got word from the doctor today about my ankle pains. He thinks it’s a chronic ankle sprain (bilateral).
It’s back into physical therapy I go. Probably should get a new, sturdier pair of shoes for myself while I’m at it.
Sigh….
Let me preface this by saying that as a youngster, I had a pathetically weak upper body.
I couldn’t even climb across the monkey bars on the playground.
Slowly but surely in the gym, since my neck impingment injury, I’ve been hacking away at pull ups (using the wide setting on the power rack).
Slowly but surely, I”ve been increasing the volume in my workout.
Well today, in a about 8 sets, I finally hit a milestone–a total of 50 reps for the workout!
This calls for celebration! In fact, I shall reward myself by stopping by the butcher tomorrow after work go purchase more delicious dead kosher animal!
I tell you, just like squatting and deadlifting–pull ups are addicting! Even more so, since I’m limited on the previous two lifts (stupid adductor strain!)
Came into work this morning, got off the elevator and noticed things seemed a bit warm.
Got my shoes changed and water bottles filled, and headed down to the gym.
Came back up after being in the virtually air-conditioning-less gym, and it was hot!
Went to look at the thermostat and discovered that one of the AC units was down.
What’s really depressing though, is that it seems like every single week the HVAC guys are at the office. Heck, even the building porter noticed it!
Here’s to hoping that there’s a/c in the office tomorrow!
