Paid anniversary
Apparently, it’s my 10th anniversary with WordPress, or should we call it Blue Word host press?
I’m underwhelmed.

Underwhelmed.
I’m being congratulated for paying money each year to a blog hosting site.
Some people have hundreds of friends. I have sarcasm. When I die, I want my ashes to be placed inside an urn with the following words: “I urned this.” I look forward to receiving multiple groans at the terrible pun.

It comes with your own personal homeless man living in his tent — in your driveway.
What has the world accomplished since my birth?
- Then: Managers used to have a secretary and a file clerk. Three people had jobs that could pay the rent.
- Now: Managers have to type, or dictate, their letter into a computer, and do their own filing.
- Result: People are doing three jobs and being paid to do one, and yet it now takes 2 people in a family to pay the rent.
I don’t see how that can be called, “progress.”
People making $7.50 and hour (minimum wage) screamed for a $15 and hour minimum wage — and got it! Prices have doubled, so now $15 is worth $7.50.
When people learn how to count change again, let me know.
Happy anniversary Joelle.

People will never learn to count change again because cash is being phased out. You don’t have to do the math when you just use a piece of plastic to pay for your things.
The photo of your cat says a thousand words. Perfect.

I was remembering the scene in “All of Me” where the sympathy cards for a woman’s death were all from the services she had paid for while she was dying. It’s a hilarious movie.

If the business has to pay double the wages, that is passed along to the consumer. Businesses have to ask for double the price of what they’re selling in order to stay in business. When I tried to explain this to people insisting on $15 and hour, I got a blank stare.
