One more day of work at Verizon, and then I’m on “vacation” for six weeks.

I found the alien eating pet cats in Springfield, OH.

Cheeseheads

Cheeseheads has a slightly different meaning for Packers and Eagles fans.

Over 10 Years at Verizon: My Decision to Depart

I have made the difficult decision to take the Voluntary Separation Package from Verizon and will depart the company on 13-Sep-2024 after over 10 years of service. While moving on is bittersweet, I believe it’s the right time for me. This was the longest time I’ve ever stayed at one company, but the current working conditions have taken a toll on my mental health. The package I’m getting includes 36 weeks of pay and benefits, so I’ll have some time to rest, recharge, and find my next adventure.

I want to see a “Forged in Fire” and “Iron Chef” crossover event. The bladesmiths forge a pair of Chef Knives. Chef Morimoto and Chef Bobby Flay pick the winner. Then, they cook a meal for the Forged in Fire judges.

Solar Eclipse Panic

Remember how, during previous solar eclipses, there were internet and cell phone outages, food shortages, and traffic jams?

Yeah – I don’t either…

We had a total eclipse in #yeahThatGreenville in August of 2017. Hotels and airplane flights were booked to capacity, but no one panicked.
