Regular readers know that however many foolish posts I may have during the week, I almost always have Lame Post Friday. This week, it is kind of a necessity, because I ain’t got much. All week pretty much all I have done is go to work and come home. Not much to blog about.
On the one hand, it is good to be gainfully employed. Furlough is not much fun. Being laid off is less so. I know I am blessed to have found a job as quickly as I did. So anybody gearing up for a round of Just-Be-Grateful-That can stand down.
That is one of my pet peeves, by the way. Sometimes one just wants to bitch. We do not want someone bleating at us, “Just be grateful you have a job” on the days your job sucks. Or “Just be grateful you have a car” when the damn thing breaks down or the defrost doesn’t work. “Just be grateful you have indoor plumbing” when you just spent the morning plunging the toilet. “Just be grateful you’re the murderer not the murderee” when you are trying to dispose of a body.
You see what I mean.
One thing I am always truly grateful for, without being reminded to be, is that people read my blog. Happy Friday, everyone.

I am grateful for you writing your blog.
What a sweet compliment! Thank you.
Just be grateful you have a blog. LOL just kidding! I agree that we just need to vent sometimes. That doesn’t mean we aren’t grateful for what we have.
That’s what I’m saying!
