War Lord, War Criminal

Why wouldn't you read an article with a headline like this ~

'Lack Of Intelligence Bush's Biggest Regret'

Even though you know it's going to be about the 'Ready, Fire, Aim' attitude of the War On Terror... GWB says he'll leave office with his head held high.

Which should make it easier for snipers at least.

Out of touch he'll live in wonder
Won't lose sleep he'll just pretend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him until the end

Mellowing With Age?

Not me, apparently.

I had a terse'n'tense phone conversation with "MD"/CN this afternoon that increased in volume & attitude on both sides the longer it went on, until I told him point blank that I refused to continue the conversation in that tone & to call me some other time, then hung up on him.

Part of me expects him to be on the doorstep of Debtor's Prison tomorrow morning to pick up where I left off. And most of me wants him there, so I can sound off at him at greater length & detail, with illustrations of my points dotted across the 3 storeys I'm expected to 'manage' on my own.

Which is illegal for starters. I'll proceed from there... I'm pretty sure it's also against even Howard's industrial law to work 34 days without a break... or even 15. And as for no lunch/dinner/tea break in an 8 hour day ~ well...

This year has been full of distractions & depressions ~ both mine & other people's, resulting in me adopting a 'Better The Devil You Know' lazy attitude to work/career. It would be fitting to round it off with a fortnight's severance pay & my unclaimed holiday & sick leave, forcing me to get off my intelligent, capable, qualified arse & take steps back/forward to where I should be.

My Foil will doubtless read this & say I shouldn't post this sort of comment. My response is ~ it's my Journal & I'll rant/rave/plan/plot/vent/whinge if I want to.

Besides... Now I've put it in writing & in camera, I have to do something or risk looking like I'm all talk ~ something best left to others.
