A little snippet of news from the news biz…
Editor Matthew Cardinale says Springston was asked to leave APN last week “because he held on to the notion that there was an objective reality that could be reported objectively, despite the fact that that was not our editorial policy at Atlanta Progressive News.”

I’m just…boggled…

Corporate dress code: Business casual.
Lobby floor: Marble.
Weather: Rain.
Manager: Wears hard-soled flats.
Result: Falls on his ass. Hurts same.
Follow up: Issues corporate wide email about using umbrella condoms, how to walk on a rug, and imperatives to immediately report wet drips to maintenance.
*facepalm*
Dude…it’s raining. Umbrellas are going to drip. Soles are going to be wet. The marble [...]

No work for me this weekend. Resting. Processing. Recuperating. Recharging.
I putter. Watching some TV. Listening to music. Reading. Writing. Plotting my next project.
Sunday I manage a nap…and for the first time in days, my dreams don’t wake me in a cold sweat, yelling for people to get down…to run…to get away from the laughing drug [...]

I started this week as a juror on what seemed a fairly mundane case.
The prosecution’s case was very carefully put together. He knew his business. The defense had nothing. There was no reasonable doubt. There was no doubt at all. The verdict was inevitable, and even with our diverse jury, quick and unanimous.

Ground up, cut open, drilled, shot, depictions of sawing skulls open and boiling bones…with abandon.

I just flushed my mandatory, government required and regulated “water saving” toilet 7 times to dispose of…well…you know…
Then I went into the living room and turned on the 10 “energy saving” compact fluorescent bulbs it takes to light the living room to the point I can read a book without eye fatigue (the $20 worth [...]

More layoffs. A dozen or so production folks from the ad/graphics department. Good folks. They “outsourced” them…our Dallas based company pushed their jobs out of state to the least competence they could apply and still get the product out. Accuracy, quality, do not figure. Only cost.
Some more gone from circulation? Another dozen or so. Not [...]

The most dangerous thing…
My wife worries about me when I’m out on a road trip. My Dad does too. Both have told me so. Mom just sprouts more white hair.
But it’s not the road trips that will get me…it’s the commute.
This morning I had four (!) oncoming cars turn left in front of me. In [...]
