• alright, it's been about a good week since I lost my glasses (where the hell are they?! maybe behind the couch...I'm sure I'll find them when I'm looking for some other random lost item).  not a biggey (yet) because I have dollar store readers lying around the house.  my eyes are gettin' worse (as far as reading goes, everything else seems fine.  what do they call that? farsighted? yep).

  while wondering what to watch last night [at 3:30am], I run across a Michael Moore film that I've never seen called 'the BIG one', about the downsizing of corporate America in the midst of these company's making record profits, to either go to Mexico or simply shut down leaving hundreds unemployed (yah know, typical Mike Moore shtick). it's a good movie!  one of the companies he happens to lambaste is the one I currently work for.  yep, the stalag (well, Milwaukee's plant) gets a 'downsizer of the year' certificate and a large cardboard check for $.60 (toward the first hour's payment of one of the Mexican workers that will now be working for them, after it all relocates to Mexico).  he lists off a good amount pretty big name companies too, that use prison labor instead of real hourly employees (amazing!).  the movie was created in '98, but is still relevant (if not more) today.  anyway, I watch a couple more 'Nikita' episodes, then crash back out 'round 8am, so I'll be rested up for tonight's stint.  pooperdog wakes me up 'round 3 this afternoon, for a walk (that's enough sleep...maybe I'll do the dishes and find something to eat before I split).

  coldish (50 degrees), gray, windy. yer typical autumn day.
