Stink-bugs are a bore

Hi Folks,

Merry Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, or whatever you celebrate! At least we can all agree on the fact that a new calendar year is coming tomorrow. Time for resolutions? Haha!

I just had a really good week with my kiddos....unbelievable fun and good jokes around the dinner table and Christmas tree. My brothers are never short for pranks and jokes!

Now it's back to the job-hunt. Seems like there are some good options out there, but all the HR departments are shut down for the Holidays. Why is it that HR people are the first ones to bug out when holidays come around? Well, they are the ones who manage the holiday schedule, and the leave approvals for everyone else. So, if there is a workforce requirement of 75%, they can make sure that they are in the 25% who is missing. I love it! Need to get a job in HR!

In other news, and back to my original topic......

When I got up this AM and went to install my new printer, I noted that there was a buzzing noise around the ceiling fan in my living room. (You could hardly call it a living room, it's more like a 16' X 12' junkyard with a TV and a table--think Sanford and Son.)

Anyway, I checked on the ceiling fan, and it was fine. However! There was a stink-bug flying around in the wake of the fan! Buzzing around in circles due to the draft from the fan. The little shit is still up there as I write. Going around and around, beating his wings and his tiny heart to death, I guess.

As I watch him spinning around, I can't help but think of our modern life....turning around and around on the wheel.....like the bug on the wake of the fan.

Should I trap that bug, put him outside and let him free, or take him out of his lonely, pointless existence?

Hmmm.

I guess he can fly around my house for now, since he doesn't bite, and doesn't stink unless you crush him.

Love and Peace to all!
