Found this site that can randomly change what you type into something you might see in a ransom note. Really neat!

Need a Job and a Brain!

I have so much on my mind right now that my head hurts. I was interviewed and offered a job stocking shelves at a local grocery store today. I was also offered a job as a part time help at a feed store. I accepted the job at the grocery store because they promised more hours of work and advancement. Here is the kicker, I was also requested to consider going back to my old job and out of a desperate attempt to find work with decent pay, and I accepted it. It was from my former manager and not the owners. So, I gave some stipulations: (1) Must be paid each pay period on time and (2) upon return I have to make as much or more money as when I left. Now this may sound steep but it is a must have. Am I stupid or what? (I happened to love my old job, though)

I want to sit down with the owner and give him some pointers on how an employee sees a business, how I think the revenue should be spent and what I believe the customers that we they have, deserve. The whole point is to be a team and I am still a fan. I left the winery because I did not like the way the company was run but believed in the product. The way it is right now I believe the same for WF. All of us together can build it back up to be the best in West Texas. It can and will work; if and only if, the owners are willing to listen to what needs to be done, instead of blowing the money away on mindless, material, unneeded, stupid…ohm, I have to stop there! Uggg!

Anyway, how can I get through to the owner that it would be in his best interest to hire me back? I am not sure. I think my best bet is to convince the current employees (all 9 or 10 out of the original 20 or so) that I am able to make a difference in the company. I think that I have shown them that I can make a difference and am willing to make a few sacrifices to do so through the time I was there. I learned more in 6 months (and proved it) there than I did in the entire time I was at my previous occupation! What’s up with that? That has got to say something!

Well, I am gonna go to work at the grocery store tomorrow and see what they have to offer and then on Wednesday my former boss is gonna talk up the rehire. I don’t know what I want to do right now. Do I, don’t I, take a chance or dump it? Tell them to F*** off or beg for my job back.

I guess we will have to see what tomorrow brings and go from there. Yeah, I think that’s what I’m gonna do!

Batman

I have always liked Batman comics and found over the past several years the
But the funniest I've come across is the Batman/Joker "Boner" comic.
