“News”letter for 2016.12.24


Activities since last newsletter: I went to Walt Disney World for a week. It was high 70s to low 80s during the day, and the day I got back to New Jersey, it snowed less than 12 hours after I landed.

Merry Christmas everyone! (or if you celebrate some other holiday, pretend I said that instead)

“News”letter for 2016.09.24


Activities since last newsletter: doubled my home internet speed to 100 megabits/second. Employer is now out of bankruptcy.


Thought: Will I sleep better now?

Fake Q&A time!

Q: Aeropostale is out of bankruptcy now! Congrats!
A: That’s not a question.

Q: Are you still employed by them?
A: Yes!
Q: Good?
A: An associate who sat next to me was let go on Thursday. So, not all good.
Q: But you’re ok?
A: Sure?

Q: Anything else interesting happen?
A: At a town hall meeting, I asked the last question, “Are redundancies over?”
Q: Isn’t that a weird way of asking if there will be more layoffs?
A: I didn’t want to say the word layoff and couldn’t think of anything better in the seconds I had to think of a question.
Q: Did people understand what that meant?
A: After the town hall meeting, two people thanked me for asking the question because EVERYONE was thinking that.
Q: Then why didn’t anyone else ask?
A: WHO KNOWS???
Q: Does this improve your opinion of 2016 so far?
A: No, my 2016 is still being a big dumpster fire. But it could have been worse.

“News”letter for 2016.08.26


My past week’s activities: seeing the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile twice

Thought: That cannot be a good omen.

Before the links, a short announcement. This is the last weekly newsletter I’ll be sending out. In the future, I will send them out on a less frequent basis. Summer is ending, along with my summer Fridays (next Friday is the last time I get out at 2 PM).  On the other hand, if my employer does not get out of bankruptcy (see more here), I may end up with more time on my hands than I’d like, but nevermind that for now! Maybe I’ll send a newsletter out once or twice a month. Who knows...
