My last place I worked for twenty five years had a
big lay off last year and “Retired” me along with a
lot of other long term employees. Wished the place
had a union then I would not of got the shaft.
This is the nicest way of being let go, but it ruins the fun of telling the boss that he could take this job and shove it up………Oh hey! That is a nice full moon. :-)
Say what you will about my meds, MONTANA LADY, but how did you miss that full length reclining nude in the clouds? Could somebody help me with this bottle cap?Push and twist! I’ll give you push and twist.
Face in Miles’ hair. Longer “nose” and it would be Woody Woodpecker.
Sometimes this place reminds me of the duet in Call Me Madam. I’ll just jump to the part where male and female voices alternate and you can substitute names regardless of gender. Oh, and with some slight changes in lyrics to fit here.
MALE & FEMALE VOICES INTERWOVEN:
MV: I see faces and there’s no one there
FV: You don’t need analyzing, it is not so surprising
MV: I smell blossoms and the trees are bare
FV: That you feel very strange but nice…

out of sight, just behind the hapless Miles stands an armed security guy ready to inflict physical restraint should it become necessary.
meanwhile Miles is trying to think if he has time to get to the gun store and get that AK47 he’s had his eye on recently.
Llewellenbruce……my husband also got laid off after 40 years with the largest aerospace company in the West…….it seems that they managed to let go the oldest (read highest paid) engineers first…..go figure!
But, we sure do love retirement!!!! can’t tell one day from the next until you read the comics and look at the date at the top…
I certainly wish I had answers but it seems BP needed to retain or hire some people who knew what they were doing….Instead, they probably have a policy of “retiring” those who could have given better input now.

TITLE: You Don’t Mess Around With Jim
Lyrics and Chords
Uptown got its hustlers
Bowery got its bums
And 42nd street got big Jim Walker
He’s a pool shootin’ son of a gun
Ya, he’s big and dumb as a man can come
But stronger than a country hoss
And when the bad folks all get together at night
You know they all call big Jim boss, just because, and they say
/ G7 - / / / / C7 - / / D7 C7 / D7 C7 GC G /
{Refrain}
You don’t tug on Superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don’t mess around with Jim, da do da do…

I see a full moon! (giggles)
Sorry, I spent most of the day with teenagers. It was so incredibly lame, I had to share.

I see three faces in the clouds….
all without the help of Lew’s meds….

How will Miles be able to afford his red hair dye(Or is that a wig held on with a mustache strap?).

Doc Tune you’re correct! I AM back in the mornin’! I just missed you, and Lew with his need for faces, I mean, medications. :P
I am blind, and can ONLY see the face in the centre of the clouds …

This is one Clooney missed on “In The Air.” I surprised since they generally came up with every possible spin on the disaster of job loss.

I think you should hall have mentioned the bosses two faces, but that is obvious.
