Links-R-Us, Vol. 4

It is once again link Friday. I’m sort of embarrassed that once again Friday is upon me and I haven’t written anything since last week. But please rest assured that I am writing more than just links.  And when all is ready those posts will be available for all to read.  So, without further ado, here we go!

Links-R-Us, Vol. 2

Welcome to Link Friday.  With that being said, here goes!

Our fist link is one that is sort of a blast from the past.  Both my Father and I used to work for the Federal Government at one point – he as a civil servant in an office, myself as a supply clerk for a government contractor.  It’s an interesting read, but it definitely not humorous.  It’s sad, really, the disparity between the pay of the civil servant, contractor employee and the contractor.

Today is Halloween.  It really didn’t feel like Halloween.  At least, not at work today…

Unlike years past, this year my employer sent out an email about a week before Halloween.  In this email we were quoted the work dress and grooming policy and basically told that if our costumes violated the policy we would run the risk of disciplinary action up to and including termination.  So, today, instead of seeing the usual 60 or so employees dressed up for Halloween I have only seen two (I’m told there’s a third, but I never saw him).

Links-R-Us, Vol. 1

Well, it’s Friday morning.  I wish today actually felt like a Friday.  Instead, I feel like I’m just a hollow shell.  Haven’t you ever felt that way?  Everything should be awesome, but it’s not?  You must live with what is, but you can’t fix it and things will never be the same…  That’s my Friday this week.

But enough of that…

Seeing how this is my first of many posts with links that sparked my interest, how about I explain my thought process to you just this once?  Over the past couple of days I have been copying down links that have really peaked my interest.  Along with the links, I’m gonna write a small little blurb that hopefully explains “why” I was interested in the link.  With that said, here goes…
