Welcome back to work, or school. In case you missed it, according to WLNS

A popular Lansing morning show host is off the air.
Rich Michaels - host of the "Michaels in the Morning" show at WMMQ - was fired by Citadel Broadcasting on Wednesday.
Michaels has been on the Lansing airwaves at one station or another for more than 20 years since 1984.
Michaels, who says he's encouraged and supported unemployed callers to his show over the years, now finds himself in the same situation.
"I think everybody's going through this. I'm not special," Michaels said. "I actually wish I could talk to people now in a way because I'm in it. It's 10 days to Christmas and I don't have a job. Something better will happen."
Matt Hanlon, who runs the Citadel stations in Michigan, says the company and Michaels "parted company" because the station made a decision "to move in a different direction."
Michaels' co-host Deb Hart, another long-time radio presence, will remain with the station, Hanlon said.

Filing for Unemployment

Filing unemployment.  Wow.  Pride.  Never, ever took a "handout."  Didn't even want to, but this may all be part of the lesson I am being taught, if you believe in that.  I'm motivated to work now, but nothing happens over the holidays.

Thanks to Sean at Vertex Computers in Frandor and Susan at DBI Office Interiors of Lansing. They helped me beef up my business ... most appreciated.  If you need computer help or unreal deals on Office Furnishings, please refer to them!

Reading Grandma's Bible

Well you find out quickly who your real friends are when you "change employers!"  Thanks guys/gals for touching base with me.  The others are either too shit scared for their own neck or they are the corporate spies who keep watching this space seeing if I'm going to spaz out on my old boss.  HA! 
With the new website will come an open BLOG.  Kinda nervous about it because I can't baby sit and I am Libertarian in that Free and unfettered speech is not as ugly as one controlled by a dangerous government (FCC - are you listening)?

Spent an hour reading my Grandma's old Bible last night.  In King James ... ugh.  Why do we turn to the ultimate source only when we are scared?  What a shame.  Truth is, some exciting things are developing, but it's vacation season right now

my new gig ... Rich "Cindy Lou" Michaels for Maytag

Day 2 - Unemployed

Todd sent this over.  Even if you are not religious, you cannot ignore the wisdom in this Biblical passage:
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
