    Hard to believe this month has passed by so quickly. I am hoping our weather warms up a bit. I am eager to get out and start working on the back yard and the bank off the creek.

    The OL wants me to retire. I am thinking of giving my notice the middle of May. Finish out the month. I think it is time. One I am tired of working 7 seven days a weeks and nights. Now that Chicago Tribune prints all other newspapers for the Chicagoland areas. Except for the Times out of NW Indiana. The trucks are not able to get out to hubs the way Print use to be.

    Plus the Teamsters are going to milk whatever hrs they can get. Trust me the Newspapers Industry is another that screws people over. Especially when it takes people to deliver their product. None are employees anymore. All are independant contractors. Working for other Contractors. Use to be a job for kids. Then they took that away from them and went with route drivers.

    Use to be a job where seniors could offset their soc-sh. Place people could pick up work inbetween jobs. Now due to the papers being overloaded with advertisments. Sunday Papers can weigh anywheres from 3-7lbs a paper. Sucks really as retailers now no longer use the Post Office for small catalogs like from Kohls or JC Pennys or Sears. So they put them in the paper now. Most seniors use to try carry as many papers as they can. With papers this size they can only carry one or two at time. Course with the way times are now many people have had turned the job into full time work. Moving to a night-life.

    Being contractors.....no days off. No benefits. No raise in pay. Course the job is only suppose to be like 17 and half hrs a week. But now due to stickers being put on the front of papers and the centralizing of papers and print. People are having to stand around for 2 and 3 hrs waiting on the trucks to arrive. Not being payed for it at all.

    Same deal with the writers. All gone to contracts. Papers sales and Periodicals are going down. Even as cheap as they are offering the paper. People are canceling subscriptions. Not even taken on or being able to afford the monthly billing. As the older generations are fading out in communities less and less people are buying papers. As the others move to online news. So the whole field is really going to $#@!.

    Thanks MMC, appreciate the heads up. Does Obama's surprise visit to Afghanistan count as a bullchit and whatnot? It seems like it should be more important than the other stuff we've got going on here.

    He just got done explaining how we are handing things over to the Afghans. But he did not say why we would need to be there for the next ten years. There was a bit about giving them some time to transition. Still I know the Afghans are slow and what not. But ten years is a bit much don't ya think? I mean didnt annatta just put up a piece about how long we going to be there?

    Yeah I figured I drop here before it got buried over and then we wouldnt have known until 3 or 4 days later.

    Yes, that was good info from Annata. Of course ten years is ridiculous but who will press Obama on it? The media stopped pressing the office of the Presidency some time during the Bush administration and it has only gotten worse.

    That and it was on TV.....I was trying to catch most of what he was saying. Still I don't see how he explains this as transitioning over to the Afghans. That this is still about National Security.

    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
