I don’t quite know how to explain how I’ve been feeling lately. I guess the best way to say it is that I’ve just simply been depressed.
Over the past few weeks I’ve been worrying about our finances, and how far behind we are. Those worries have, of course, led to me contemplating leaving my life at home and re-entering the workforce. The catch–I desperately want to work in Cynthiana, and there just aren’t any jobs to be had. Well, there are a few jobs, say if I want to fry chicken, flip burgers, or bag groceries.
There just aren’t any jobs here which I would enjoy doing. Continue reading “Anger turned inward…”

Diana’s ten year class reunion is approaching…
…and she seems to be one of very few classmates that care.
This afternoon Diana and I ran into one of her fellow organizers of the event at the bank. There, Diana received some sad news.
The group had been expecting an amount of nearly $2500 to be received from those attending the reunion. This amount would have covered the planned expenses of renting the room and catering.
So far, only $540 has been collected.

It amazes me at how certain things get published in the local newspaper. One recent article which ran in relation to the excitement of Jeffrey Pratt told the story of a bank teller who had the misfortune of experiencing one of his robberies.
Christine Philpot had been employed by Farmers National Bank for twenty-eight years; two at the main branch in Cynthiana, and the remaining at the Berry location. During her employment in Berry she experienced four robberies. She has been stared down by the barrel of a gun and locked in a vault. This past May, seven months following Pratt’s robbery of the Berry branch, she finally decided to retire from her job at the bank.
The story itself is worth reading–I have no issue with the story as a whole. My issue comes with one line which was published: Continue reading “The Idiocy of the Local Media”

There has apparently been a major break somewhere in the water system, and the source has yet to be found. As of this moment all available emergency response units are reporting to the water plant for coordination in assisting public works in locating the source.
Sadly, I don’t know when the drop in pressure was discovered, as i turned on the scanner a few minutes ago.
UPDATE 8:56pm: the break appears to be at the old RECC grounds (Now the location of Cynthiana Tire). an officer just reported noticing that one of the structures is flooded. Continue reading “water break”

I skipped class yesterday.
I’m skipping class today.
So, I’m skipping class. Again.
Why?
Well, I’m so glad you asked. (and shocked if you actually did ask!)

Once again, the FNB branch on Oddville was robbed. This is now the second time that the Oddville location has been robbed in less than six months.
As of the time of this posting, the Cynthiana Democrat reports:

I regret to announce the passing of Moses Palmer. Moses passed in the late morning hours of August 17, 2008. He was 17 years old.

Out of curiosity, I decided to check the stats for the site, and found an interesting search phrase. I guess some of my writings do sound like they were written by “retarded children.” Continue reading “retarded children?”

I’ve finished moving all of my old stuff from LiveJournal to here. Yay! I do, however, still have quite a bit of work to do in going through the posts and re-tagging them…

To the best of my knowledge I have all the basics worked out, but wouldn’t be surprised if I run into a few bugs here and there. (I fully expect discovering tons-o-bugs.)

…but, for now, I find myself pleased with what I have done.

I have just completed importing my old entries from LJ, and am in the process of sorting out the posts. Most of the posts show “admin” as the author (where I imported them under that account), and may have issues with formatting or links or whatever…
I’ll also be going back through all those posts and assigning new tags and categories. (don’t be surprised if ya see a category or two disappear as I go through all that stuff.)
anyway… back to work!
