Terrific Tuesday

I got a lot of work accomplished today, but still have more to do for tomorrow which is my last day until January when I return.  I got my annual review and it was a good one, pretty much what I expected.   I am looking forward to the Christmas holidays, I get to spend some quality time with my family.

I am very disappointed at our Governor, Bobby Jindal, he keeps making big budget cuts.  248 Million dollars cuts, which means more job losses for the State of Louisiana.  My wife needs 1 more year to make 20 years with the state and these cuts are making it more difficult to get her back on.  What really irks me is there are a lot of people who work for the State of Louisiana, don’t even live in Louisiana, some commute from Mississippi, those should be the first ones to cut.   It isn’t fair to my wife.   She got the butt end of the deal when she worked at LSU, that is why I hate LSU so much, the University has so many assholes working there, and it doesn’t make it a good working environment.   She had a very bad experience with the Psychology department (they are nuts).  She worked for an evil woman there and she had to quit since the work environment was very horrible.   I wanted her to file a suit against the university, but she did not want to.    Basically every job she has had at LSU has been a horrible experience, she does contract work for the regular state and she said it is very peaceful there.   She should have worked for the regular state all along.     I follow LSU football because I live here, however I’ll follow the Saints no matter where I live.

I am really disgusted with our Senator Mary Landrieu, who ignores phone calls and emails from citizens who want to make a difference.  Hopefully she will not win the next election and hopefully she will be recalled from office.   I do not like the current health bill that is going through senate and of course Mary Landrieu is voting for that.   I don’t like the idea of the government funding abortions and I don’t see how it is going to save money, it is going to end up raising taxes to foot the bill.

My last rant, is Our Lady of Lake hospital wants a big increase from my insurance, Blue Cross.   First of all the Lake’s accounting system is really screwed up and 2nd of all it is supposed to be a non for profit agency, Bullshit, they are the highest paid hospital in the state.   I avoid that place as much as I can, and I hate doing that since I am Catholic and it is a Catholic hospital.

Well enough of my rants, I am Looking forward to Christmas, I am excited for my son who will be getting some nice things for Christmas.
