I point out, in the last panel, the attitude I feel here at Siemens, because it’s such a drastic difference from how my last job at American Textile Company was. At that place, you always felt as if you were[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yeah, if the rapidly outside dropping temps are any indication and the local weather people are right, we’re in for some VERY cold temperatures over the next few days. I chose to take the highways because my other route has[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
In case you aren’t familiar with the song I refer to in the last panel, “Escape (The Pina Colada Song” by Rupert Holmes, it’s about a man who wants to cheat on his girlfriend (or wife? I’m not sure) and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Seriously, what’s so scary about this? For as long as I can remember, driving into Pittsburgh (from the East) we’d go through the Squirrel Hill Tunnel. It’s just the continuing road with a “roof” over it. So why the hell[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
