My Luck

I had a good day at work yesterday. And the day before - and the day before that. It's a nice change to be in an environment where it seems productive and professional. There is the possibility that there will be more job re-assignments/cuts at any time (it's the new corporate culture) and there's even news that Motorola might be interested in acquiring the company but the overall attitude around here remains positive.

For me, it seems like I've had a six-year hiatus where I learned a lot about business and the economy and earned enough to get us a house and some other stuff. I sure hope this place keeps a status quo for a while. I'd like to retire from here, in fact.

Sorry if this sounds like gloating - I know I have a lot of friends in jobs that would prefer to be doing something else. A few don't have jobs at all at the moment and that's tough, too. I've been very lucky and I'm acknowledging that with this post. I've also whined and complained a lot so this should serve as the equal and opposite reaction.

P.S. - I think I understand why everyone is incensed with Ozzie. Using a term that is frequently used as a derrogatory slur against homosexuals to describe Marrioti is a disservice to derrogatory slurs and homosexuals. All he had to do was stick with the "piece of shit" description and call it a day.
