How can it be that working hard does not count? How can it be that trying to achieve is not good. How can socialism be acceptable in this country, or any form of it. Which is what our present administration is trying to do. Things are not equal. Just giving without merit produces apathy and laziness. Everyone needs to be productive, and not just in existing jobs which many government jobs are. Lots of waste. In ordinary businesses, if there is not a need for an employee, there would not be one, in government, there is. Much worse now. And it was bad in the late 80s when I had my foray in government. If you asked me when I was a kid if working for some governmental agency would have been a good thing, I would have said sure and spent many years there. Thank god that did not happen. Ranting I know.

Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day everyone. God Bless Moms. Also Happy Anniversary to my lovely wife. 23 years. Headed to go bowling with the Schrolls. Rainy day her in ATL. Started watching We Bought a Zoo. Good movie, gonna finish later. Got the new TV connected to the internet with a good connection, plugged a wire into the router instead of going from main router to wireless router to wireless tv. So far so good.

Couple of things. Went to my first tea party meeting tonight, really went to see a client of mine, ex local police official. He was good, learned a lot, may go back. Brought ultra conservative, to the right of right, Kirt. Needless to say, we had a hoot. Scary stuff was said. Many of these people who are against us need to be eliminated, just saying. Got some stuff done at work today, need to keep it going. Maybe a more relaxing time, but gotta hunker down. Megs is home, working all weekend she is, good for her. Thats all I got

Sitting in CiCis

Sitting in pizza place watching G while she plays games. And texting M about her life, school and her future. Although the world is a much different place than 1984, still much the same. Everyone needs a break to prove themselves then all up to u
Fastest 2 minutes in sports about to start.

Back, Back Again

Met with a lady today who I was referred to from a new client of FrontDesk. Social Media Guru. Liked her, want her to update all my facebook, twitter, linkedin, blog, etc. Played tennis again with Shane today. We lost, two days in a row. Just tough competition basically. Whoever screws up the least will win. I have played decently, backhand is on fire most times, but still screw up too much. Fun though. Work is definetly more relaxing now, although still lots to do, thank God. Need to get a bit organized and reactivate GTD - Getting Things Done. It does work and also need to show Mandy. She needs to be shown some things about how to handle date, emails, things to do, etc. Who is taught this stuff? No one Crappy time of the year, for me anyway, for Sports. NFL draft just got done, dont really care about NBA or NFL or Auto racing. Like Baseball some, awesome that the Braves and Chipper are doing well, or at least so far. Thank you NFL Network. Thought Megs was coming home tonight, but I guess next week. Little Gracie is one spitfire. More on than later Thanks all I got. Later

I'M BACK

Packers and Bears on Sunday, what an epic game it will be. Would love to go, but maybe the Super Bowl if all things work out. We will see. Going to the game at the Dome and the pep rally the night before was awesome. Packer fans everywhere. Met and talked to for about 20 minutes, Majic Man, Don Majkowski, Packer QB before Favre. Regular guy with a son Grace's age and a daughter in 8th grade, wife is from Wisconsin, they met there. And the game, well, again, lots of Packer fans and fun to be all around that.

Snowstorm since I was last on here, and this is my take on that. It is totally ridiculous that a plan was not had just in case this happened as far as ice and snow removal. It could have been borrowed from somewhere, the whole country was not under snow, and if it could not be done, then fine. At least there was a plan. But it is bullshit to expect municipalites to have snow and ice removal equipment or at least a lot of it. What a waste of resources. And to complain about private parking lots and subdivison roads is pure crap as well. Of course people went nuts, said and did things they would not normally do since they were in lockdown and with the kids being out of school for a whole week and then MLK day, well thats enough to drive a parent crazy.

Work going well. Busy which is good. A few new clients already, a few 1040s already which is kinda early and lots of corporates which is good. We have to master this software though.

Keith Olberman is off MSNBC, good riddance. What an ass. When he was first on Sportscenter he was a funny smart ass sports guy. Then his true liberal cocky self came out and it pained me to watch him, although I did at times just to see what the other side was saying.

Packers beat the lowly Bears by more than 3 and less than seven. It will turn out to be a high scoring game for these good defenses, but in the mid 40s. On to the Super Bowl. That would be so awesome. And Obama, stay away from the Super Bowl. Too much of a distraction.

Oh yeah, have lost 20 lbs eating these prepared meals and doing Active 2. Some of these meals are good, some not so much. But I am eating them for the most part. Just eating Breafast and Lunch, drinking water is doing a lot.

Award Day

Its almost midnight, am working in my basement office and watching NFL network. Was up again until three last night so again, got up kinda early to see Grace's awards ceremony. She got Speller of the Markin Period, like her Dad a good speller (4th Grade Spelling Bee Champion). She did good when she went up on stage, did not look at us but did not look down, we were very proud of her. Megs is getting ready to go back to school, she came by the office to take some more boxes to our storage unit and she told me her and her roommate got Freshman 101 for the 2nd Semester which is good, she needs the easy A or B.

Had lunch today with a referral source. P&C guy. He is well connected and glad we hooked up. Even game me a couple of good leads today. Met him when I was at one of my clients office. Had another client who came in who got tickets for the Auburn-Oregon game for XMAS for his wife and paid a pretty penny. Well all these ticket brokers are finding out they can get more than they got a while back and are backing out of deals. All over the place. He may not get to go to the game at all unless he forks up some more dough. Getting Screwed

Interviewed a young lady today to man the front and take some load off of Linda. My second assistant if you will. Has some light bookkeeping experience, so we will see how it goes. Hopefully at least through tax season.

Drove down to Buckhead today and met with an existing client I have had for awhile, but he is involved in two new entities, so 2 new clients with many, many K-1s which they are wanting way before March 15th. OY VEY.

My lunch sucked today, Eggplant, yuk. Dinner not bad, but so far not so sure about this food other than its healthy.
