So, I'm sitting here at Panera Bread on a Sunday morning. I've already hit my usual sites on the 'net, and I still have about 20 minutes to kill before I go to pick up Clint from church. He has changed churches, and goes to one in Nashville now. He still attends the youth group meetings at his old church.
My internet connection is out at home - my modem went out the other day during the storms. I think I'm just going to see about buying a replacement instead of contacting Comcast to send out another one.
On the job front, still no news about the my old supervisor's job. To be honest, I don't know that I actually want the job. One of the aspects of my current position that I enjoy the most is getting to solve people's problems with their claims. I don't know that there will be anything similiar to that in this other position.
I've really been in a crappy mood lately, and feeling like burning some bridges. Before anyone freaks out and contacts the authorities, I mean that metaphorically. *grin* Hypocrisy bothers me. Especially when it comes from people who talk about tolerance and open-mindedness. But it seems that they mean we should be tolerant and open-minded about *their* lives. But apparently people who have differing points of view from them are really just stupid, and should just shut up and not express their POV. The thought police are out in full force. One question that came to mind recently after reading one post on OT, was how do you teach your children to discern which opionions should respected, and which are to be mocked and made fun of?
Well, I guess I've got to shut this off and hit the road to get back to pick up the son.

I remember that you were worried about your son and which church he would choose. It's good that he's at church and not nursing a hangover. I admire him going to church because he wants to and not because his mom makes him.
It's difficult to be in "job limbo." There could be aspects of the supervisor's job that you may like, but don't know about yet.
Have a good week!
Sorry about your home internet, that sucks, but can be a good thing. I know my "put off" things get done alot more when my cable's out or internet is down :)
You'll know what to do about the job when the time comes.
and....there's always going to be "it's my way or the highway" people. Just ignore them. Unless you're talking about me *evil eye
Ditto what Puffy said about Clint's church situation; it seems to have resolved itself for now.
We've bought our share of modems/routers in our day. Sorry to hear that you're another victim of Commucast.
Don't discount what you would and would not like in a job; you might as well enjoy it!
I'd comment on your tolerance comment, but I don't want to be seen as intolerant. :-]
I'm tolerant as long as you believe in the same things that I do. Hey!! you better not be talking about me. Boo disagreed with me about something and I told her it was okay and that I still loved her even though she was wrong. Or something like that. *grin*
1. Clint. I am glad this seems to be working out. He may change back or change again.
2. The job. I felt that way about this job. It took a long time to hear anything. There were days I told myself I didn't want it and days I told myself I did. In the end, I still think I made the right decision. I just let a personal friendship get in the way of business, and it blew up.
3. Out of order internet. Sorry. I can relate to the computer problems right now because of my work computer. *hugs for that one*
4. I can think of a few posters in OT right now who make me feel that way. And I have honestly just tried to let it go because in the end I don't want OT to close down.
I disagree with a lot of people on a lot of things, and I just yesterday told my boss that I really do enjoy being right about things. That's a weakness of mine.
My new resolve is to either call a spade a spade without being a bitch in doing so or just ignoring the issue because it's not worth my time.
I will say this. After this election, OT will never be the same again -no matter who wins. So you might want to save your vent until then. *smirk*
Hmmp.
Bravie thinks we should let gay people come into the high schools and actively recruit . . . *smirk*
I forgot about the kid question.
That is tough because I want my son to make his own opinions in life. Obviously I would hope he would think a lot like me, but I don't necessarily expect him to. For instance, I would like for him to see long hair on a man as "yucky" (laughs at you and Glow), but if he decides he likes it, that's his choice. I think the only thing you can do is to first love them and then try to guide them toward understanding that not everyone is the same and that that's okay.
It's very tough Arkie. We had a situation last weekend with guns. We don't allow him to even play with them. And we had had a discussion on Friday night about who is allowed to have a gun. The next day his little friend was playing with them and Conner joined it. It was uncomfortable to deal with to say the least.
