If this goes as well as any IT operation at every company I&#8217;ve worked for, it could very well be a disaster. It&#8217;s probably going to be a good day to go to work and make sure things are working, and not a good day to hide like I was planning, darn it.<\/p>\n<p>It was pointed out to me that the yoots at the gym might not have ever been exposed to such wonderful bands such as, &#8220;Oingo Boingo,&#8221; and they might be worried about the songs I was singing along to. I believe this because I was eating a very unhealthy lunch today and along with the so-called &#8220;food&#8221; we were listening to some sort of awful music-ish radio station. It was as empty as the calories in my hamburger. Looking at the the playlist on their web site, I think the worst of the songs was by, &#8220;Michael W. Smith,&#8221; followed in horrendousness by, &#8220;The Backstreet Boys.&#8221; Ugh.<\/p>\n<p>I also had a salad but that wasn&#8217;t enough so we went to Sonic where I ordered some sort of fried ice cream thing. That, too, probably wasn&#8217;t anything that could be classified as &#8220;food&#8221; but I ate it all anyway. It&#8217;s just been that kind of week at work. Oh, the things I do to avoid going back to work after lunch.<\/p>\n<p>If I had any choice, I&#8217;d go to Grand Central Baking and have another BLT. They only make them when they can get heirloom tomatoes and they also use very tasty and peppery bacon. It&#8217;s a wonder I can see my shoes to tie them.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/blt.png\" title=\"Grand Central BLT.\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/blt-276x300.png\" alt=\"Grand Central BLT.\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My work email is being upgraded tonight.
