The Long Awaited Update
Well, I should have a lot more time available to my blog because I've been fired from my job with Comcast. I'm glad to be gone as they've created an intolerable work environment for all their employees and as Michigan is an, "at will" state they know they can get away with it.
I was fired because their database saw that a call I was on was disconnected. The database informed them that the disconnect was initiated by myself. I have no recollection of the call (taking 80-100 calls a day does that). 4 years of service isn't enough for them to look past it or even consider the possibility that their database is incorrect. They can't keep their own network running half the time so why this possibility isn’t on the table is beyond me.
However, I feel that a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Other opportunities have presented themselves in a timely manner both within Michigan and without. A particular one without has me quite excited.
But, that's that.

Best of luck, my friend. Be well.
Regardless of you are, and what the motivations behind your post truly are, you need to understand something. This blog is NOT the place for personal invectives. It is a place where ideas are exchanged and debated freely. We may disagree with each other over various issues, but I think I can speak for all when I assert that we always respect each other. If you can not particpate productively in the discussions we have, then please take your attitude and pettiness elsewhere. Your petulance and vitriol is not wanted here.
And if you really "like" me then you'll be kind enough to share your real name. We are friends afterall, right?
An aside to the now-infamous "Guest": it will take more than merely a thesaurus to make you sound as smart as I truly am. Frankly, it would most likely take about another 50 IQ points! However, might I suggest that the next time you are browsing Amazon you pick up a copy of Strunk &White's? It certainly won't hurt!
Kevin, your friends are behind you all the way. Don't let small-minded pettiness get to you!
I am so glad that you have been given a new opportunity to expand your ability to serve others. I hope that others will see thei opportunity if they ever get fired. Remember, the wealth of the wicked is being stored up for the righeous. YES, that means you!
