time stamp reflects time of mindframe.

It's come to my attention that I time stamp with west coast time zone designation, three hours behind my physical location's time zone. I'm up until 4am most nights so my days aren't like most, thus confusing when I talk morning and night stuff. I mowed at 9am but it appeared like 6am. 9am is like 6am to me, physically, thus leaving time zone indication as is seem valid. Confusing to real time or observant types, but boring to the indifferent. I can even backdate stuff, if I'm feeling more meh than normal. That last line is for you, observant reader. Rather than repeat stuff too redundantly, I'll bury things backward for archival purposes.
I need to shower, so until 6am...

unofficial hiatus

Given bn nook's limitations, I shall write sparingly until circumstance dictate otherwise.

I am so sad. I lost a friend and will grieve accordingly. Not in a mood for a replacemnt, yet but this will be done via a poor substitute.

While looking for another friend's indulgence into my thinking I came across another "blog" which should be read since my paperback version cannot leave my posession.

Enjoy at your leisure, though I cannot see how it legally exists online as such.

No love for Amazon, but I side with them...

DISCLAIMER: Each day, I spend way too much time online. I've drastically cut my online time with the unofficial end of baseball season, but I still check my email, banking/credit cards/401(k), and blog. Before I do anything, I check to see what's going on in the world, and one place is where I start. It might not be the best for gathering information, but my purposes it's a starting point that spirals. The site is not self-contained and links to all sorts of places that are for the most part, reliable. If I ever mention an article, 90% of the time it originates from my perusing of the news aggregation site.

Amazon is being sued by its warehouse employees that claim that are unfairly unpaid for 20 minutes a day as they are searched throughout the day by security.

Frankly, I think their having a job should make them think twice about complaining, for the routine hasn't changed to make them feel put out from a baseline of expectation. Their wages technically embed their inconvenience to the regular searches.

Living by Wright-Patterson AFB, I'm aware of the long lines to get on the base. Those people aren't paid for their time in line waiting to go through the gate, are they?

Also, the searching is necessary for purposes of retarding theft. If you are avoiding being searched, then maybe you are planning to steal. Stealing is an offense for which one assumes to be fired, right?

One of the few times I will agree with Amazon. I imagine a lawyer came up with the suit and approached the plaintiffs and stirred up their angst in hope of getting a sympathetic judge and a huge payday from the EVIL ONLINE RETAIL BEHEMOTH.
