Sometimes I have to wonder

This morning, as we were having coffee at the midpoint of our morning bike ride, a friend and long time riding buddy commented
I just hope when Obama gets in, he doesn't screw up the economy too bad.

SAY WHAT? As if the economy isn't screwed up enough already, after 8 years of George Bush, 6 years of a Republican congress, and a free market system left to run amok, he's worried Obama might screw things up more. (Sorry ....... I couldn't help myself. :) )

No matter what Obama does when he gets into office, has to be an improvement. I don't think it's possible to screw things up any more than they already are. There just isn't that much room left, if any, for things to get worse.

But even with that said, I can see it now, as clearly as I can see LA from the top of Turnbull Canyon when the Santa Ana's are blowing, Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh calling for the impeachment of Obama, and blaming this whole economic mess on him and the Democratic congress.

Then on top of that, I've got a customer "all up in arms" complaining the manufacturing plan that was submitted by the machine shop, for some parts that we're making, isn't satisfactory.

The big deal in this case is, there isn't even a requirement to send a separate machining plan for approval. (We already provided a manufacturing plan, including machining, which was approved.) It seems our sales manager requested this plan from the machine shop (bypassing quality), and then proceeded to send it to the customer.

Like I said, sometimes I just have to wonder where some people have their heads?

People are idiots, sometimes. Our country is in financial ruin due to the Republican congress and we don't even know the what extent yet.

People are living on credit cards (which will probably be the next disaster) and Obama will get blamed for that as well.

I know exactly where our Sales Managers' head is at. :-)

Fatigue! Part II - Maybe it is real?

Or it's actually Motivational Deficiency Disorder, MoDeD (pronounced Mo-Dee-Dee) for short. In a report this week by Roy Moynihan who reports for the British Medical Journal Austrailian scientists may have come across the reason for extreme laziness . The condition is claimed to affect up to one in five Australians and is characterised by overwhelming and debilitating apathy. Neuroscientists at the University of Newcastle in Australia say that in severe cases motivational deficiency disorder can be fatal, because the condition reduces the motivation to breathe. Neurologist Leth Argos is part of the team that has identified the disorder, which can be diagnosed using a combination of positron emission tomography and low scores on a motivation rating scale, previously validated in elite athletes. "This disorder is poorly understood," Professor Argos told the BMJ. "It is underdiagnosed and undertreated." Who knew? Maybe I have MoDeD, from my attempts to become a...

History IS repeating itself

I didn't grow up during the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany, so for me to claim it feels like those are the times we are living in now, must be taken with a grain of salt. But I have seen enough movies, and read enough history to know, if the times we're living in now are not akin to the rise of a Nazism and Facism in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, then we're not far off. If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, then you must be living in a different country than me. Republicans and other right wing extremists will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the majority, forcing their beliefs, that they are the superior race and have been appointed by God, to impose their will on America, while they blame all our problems on immigrants, blacks and Jews. As I speak, Mitch McConnell, and his minions are raising roadblocks to all legislation designed to help average Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. They condone violent and verba...

My concerns reaffirmed today

When I was first diagnosed with MCL, I pretty much read just about everything I could get my hands on, I attended various conferences, and I talked to anyone who would listen. One of the most important lessons I learned, and which I've mentioned numerous times before was No one cares more about you than you. But in addition to that, I learned to fear the drug Doxorubicin , AKA Adriamycin, Doxil, Hydroxydoxorubicin, or more affectionately the Red Devil. Besides being a deadly chemical, as is the case with most chemotherapy drugs, it is one of the few chemotherapy drugs known to cause permanent heart damage. I even heard Dr. Sandra Horning , a noted Stanford lymphoma specialist, state at the first lymphoma conference I attended in LA, there was no evidence Doxorubicin provided any added benefit to chemotherapy protocols. This was music to my ears, since Doxorubicin is very common in most lymphoma treatment protocols. And even though Dr. Horning has since changed her tune [which my sk...
