You left me, you broke my heart, but I moved on Mr. Farve. I. Moved. On.

I do hope Mr. Farve doesn't start whining too much.

Evidently, he's just gotten the bad news that the Packers are going to stick him into a "Back up role," not releasing him from his contract now that he's changed his mind about his "retirement."

He decided his news may have been a little premature, but it seems they decided to go on with someone else as starting quarterback. Now that the dithering Farve decided he's not retiring after all, they're sticking with their acting quarterback and holding him to his contract... and sending him back to the back of the line since he left it.

"We've communicated that to Brett, that we have since moved forward,"
Thompson said. "At the same time, we've never said that there couldn't be some
role that he might play here. But I would understand his point that he would
want to play."When asked whether that role might be as a backup or coach,
Thompson said: "not a coach."Added McCarthy: "He did ask about that,
though."

I do hope, Mr. Farve, you accept it with dignity or grace. Either retire or be a team player and be the back-up quarterback... if other people move on you have to accept that as a consequence of a decision.

You're flighty, they made other plans, suck it up. No cuts.

Fewer topless mermaids...

The company with some of the best bennies in America is closing 600 stores and laying off 7% of the workforce... what, you mean there's only going to be ONE Starbucks per square mile now?

If this doesn't convince people the economy is in some dire straits, what will? We curb our pleasure driving and now we curb our fancy lattes... and I loves me my Honey Frappuccino, too. Of course, being that this is the company who opens outlets across the street from one another and once talked about opening stores on different floors in the same office buildings... it may not bode THAT badly for us...

I'm feeling the pinch (and if you do it again, I'll smack you)

...and that is with the 10 cent customer loyalty card discount from Krogers... I was grinding my teeth taking this picture so I didn't start shouting "fuckyoufuckyoufuckyou" to the pump, the poor sap in the booth, and passing motorists.

Something has to give. This is not sustainable. I say that even AS that jerk in your office who goes "You know they've been paying twice this in Europe for years!"

(This is also possibly a sign to move to a city with excellent public transportation.)

Along with the full time job that we all know I need to replace with a better paying one, I'm going to be needing to add a part time jobby-job to boot. After all, I need to put enough money aside to buy a bicycle, scooter, and bus pass.
