Oddly sounds like approval for torture

"Al Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America ... he's worried that someone won't read them their rights?" - Palin's RNC acceptance speech

As disturbing as that statement is, I feel that the exuberant cheering that followed may be worse. Then again, the crowd cheered after about each and every sentence. This seemed to strike a blood thirsty note with the crowd.

Time to dust off the old resume.

It's that time again, because things can't be static. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with my company, but things change, and unfortunately they are changing soon. The good thing about this is that I can explore other opportunities that I wouldn't have taken due to my stupid sense of loyalty. At least I have learned about this side of pharmacy, which has helped guide my career sense. Anyway, so I am looking at local hospitals and possibly Fort Detrick. I dunno about that last one, but the pay is good.

Today is the day.

This is an attempt. Hopefully it will stick.

What is up with me these days? Nothing much, which should make this interesting. "I got 99 problems..." sorry that's what Pandora has decided to play right now. Let's start there. I am at work right now, which means I should be doing work. I like my job. It has it's problems like any job does, but less than the ones I've had so far. For the most part I like the people I work with, with some exceptions. Music has been an issue from the start. The environment we work in allows for us to listen to music for the majority of the work day. In the beginning there was the radio. This area has an abundance of country and classic rock stations. They took it easy on the cuntry, but the classic rock got old quickly after about the 100th playing of "Freebird." I took matters into my own hands and we started listening to XM radio online. With the plethora of available genres you would think that there would be no problem, but one of my associates decided the only station to listen to was Lucy, the 90's alternative station. Now don't get me wrong, that is the music I grew up listening to, but it gets a bit repetetive. Through some deceptive reasoning and my lack of desire to pay for it we switched off to the free AOL radio. We ran into the same problem there. So, lately I have tried to turn everyone on to Pandora. Everybody is free to enter bands they like and we tend to get a variety and from time to time I get to hear some rap, some punk, some ska and various other music I like. It's a bit strange as it is intersperced with country and oldies, but I don't mind most things in moderation.
