I'm finished with my morning internet surf, so I'll head down now and take care of a few matters before starting on lunch preparation.

My first job was fun.  I worked as a general dogsbody for a photographic studio in Cincinnati.  Did everything from run messages, make photostats, and set up displays.  We did a lot of work for Proctor & Gamble and Kenner toys, so I often knew about new products long before they hit the market.

Summers in college I worked in a textbook company, packing books as they came up the assembly line and stacking the boxes on skids.  Monotonous and mind-numbing, but kept me in shape.  It also taught me that I never wanted to do this sort of thing for a living.  There were people who had been there for thirty-forty years.  I would have gone crazy or blown my brains out.

The job that did this for me was working as a file clerk the summer between my freshman and sophomore years of college.  I filed business machine schematics by their 8-digit numbers all day, every day, and twiddled my thumbs when that was all caught up.  Not that I had any doubts, but it sure motivated me to go back and complete my degree!

Good morning, all! The events of the past copuple of days with the LoC concert and my dealings with my brothers about father's land in Ohio have brought on a huge depression that have kept me in bed all morning with no desire to move further. I am up, and I will bathe, dress, and spend the remainder of the day at the NYPL doing research I like rather than deal with the tsuris that my personal and professional life are currently in.

My worst jobs occurred during my Ohio life after grad school, 1972-1979, when the good jobs meant working in community theatre and symphony with wonderful people, teaching creative dramatics to kids between 5 and 15, all for no pay, and dealing with the frustrations of working for morons like the owner of Office Outfitters, perhaps my least finest hour as a delivery truck driver, while looking for a job that would allow me to do what I wanted with my life. If I had not been so obtuse to the universe, I would have realized it was saying get out of town now. The only good thing about the seven years is that when I finally moved to New York, I was ready to jump into a bigger pond.

I did, when I was drafting a letter to my brothers around 4:15 am this morning.

I do not understand their reluctance to bring a realtor into the property sale. If we each made $250-300,000 on the sale and paid a 6-12% commission to a realtor, we could earn that interest back in a high interest account. Since the land belonged to my dad and none of us paid for it, anything made on the sale is free money. I'd rather pay 12% commission on something and make 88% on it than to own 100% of nothng and have to pay taxes on it. Oy.

And this, kiddies, is why the Macbeths are so damned smart!

Hey, Jane - thanks for the good news about our Brucer's homecoming. Yeah - any time anybody dear to me has to be confined in a hospital, I always bring in decent food - why does 'institutional' so often have to mean 'inedible?'

TOD: absolutely WORST job was an 8:30-5 every day position in the accounting department of Gulf Oil Company in Century City, CA when I was 19. Lasted a whole 5 months. I began to loathe going to sleep at night, because it meant the night would pass too quickly, and in the morning I would have to go there AGAIN... It cured me of ever again having a Normal job. I resolved that, if I couldn't live an artist's life. If I ever thought for one minute that I would have to do that again, I would cheerfully kill myself.

if the food had been the reason i couldn't eat much in the hospital i would have asked keith to get me something.  the 1st night after surgery i ordered canned peaches & found solid food hadn't been permitted yet.  i called the nurse who called the kitchen so i could have my big meal-lol.

Matt H, maybe because we didn’t read about the heavily trumpeted reunion of Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless we enjoyed it.  After the lead in to the character we laughed when Daly appeared.  For us it was fun seeing them together again.

Thanks Jeanne,  I did sleep better than I have been.  I fell asleep quickly & didn’t wake until close to 3:00 and by 4:00 was asleep again.  I hope for a repeat performance tonight.

Today is a blue and sparkling day with orange trees bright against the blue sky and some brilliant white puffy clouds.  It's like Pasadena in the 40's.  Today should be a glorious Technicolor movie with Guy Madison and Diana Lynn.

This savage breast looked like a savage beast clawed its way out from with in.

WARNING TO PROSPECTIVE HOSPITAL GOERS: as a cost saving gesture some local hospitals are joining in with prisons and monasteries to do bulk buys on toilet paper. For tender tidy butts - take you own TP!
