That's a different issue than the one that annoyed me. :)

People (i use the term loosely when referencing the internet) were commenting on low wage workers for a hospital system here striking for better wages/unionization, etc. All the comments were basically, if they don't like $11/hr they should go get an education and some marketable skills. So many things wrong with that attitude.

The two most obvious things:
A) So educated people don't have low paying jobs and want better wages/work conditions?
B) to hijack part of a quote, if everyone of working age had a college degree and marketable skills, we would still need pizza makers and janitors. What then?

Hell, I've never seen $11/hr.

And with all my education, I still want to open a bakery, specializing in cookies, breads, muffins, and scones.

$11/hr? I usually don't like to talk finances, but I started at more than that at my current job about 12 years ago.

Good Morning Lodge.

Yawner of a class A first day in the MN Boys High School tourney yesterday. All the higher seeds won, most comfortably. Lotsa kids looking they are in the running for the all-flow team. ;)

ETA: I stand corrected - I didn't hang on long enough on the final game of the day and it went to OT so not a yawner after all.

Good morning Lodge. At the dentist this morning. Got home after 11:30 last night. Me tired. And cold. It's freezing today.

Howdy Lodge. Greetings from Irving, TX. Had an employee event here with Katie Uhlaender. She's a skeleton athlete. Not sure if you watched that competition in Sochi. She missed the podium by .04 seconds. Heartbreaking! She is such a cool person. Of all the non medalists, she was the one I felt most bad for.

That's awesome. I liked her, and the little bits thry had her do explaining skeleton. I was kind of angry when they kept interviewing her right after and she said she was fighting back tears, so they just kept the interview going until she did cry. I can't imagine the amount of work she put into training and how heartbreaking it must be to miss the podium by .04 seconds.

You know what was fascinating - she suffered a concussion in the fall. A bad one. Yesterday I went with her to the facility that treated her (and several professional athletes like Sidney Crosby) for a follow up appointment. She is still improving. The fact that she raced at all, let alone miss the podium by .04 seconds is unbelievable.

And you pervs, I have a pair of these Nike Victory USA Gloves. And I also have a pair of those. :p

Sitting at the gate in Detroit, waiting for the first leg of my flight to Boston. Have to go through Philly. I suppose that means I should shower as soon as I get to my hotel. ;)
