Thrivent reflections – followup to a post from 2019-05-24

Huh. How things rapidly changed after I wrote this post a year ago. A month after this, myself and twenty others in the IT dept were given four weeks notice that we were to be laid off at the end of July; the VP mentioned below (Sanjaye) was subsequently arrested for child abuse (teenage daughter/step […]

Random thoughts, state fair booksale, ServiceNow

Facebook asks, “What’s on your mind”, at 5:30am this morning? Insomnia – maybe. Acid reflux – nope, not this “morning”. Tinnitus – definitely a yep. Take your pick. My pal Rick went to the State Fair Grounds yesterday for “Half Price Books” book sale. All books were $2 or less. He picked up twelve books […]
