Just a random thought here. The Wisconsin State Government agencies are having a hard time hiring people. I know DOC can't find people to fill positions and HFS, where I worked is having problems finding qualified computer people. Weird, low paying jobs with small benefits are not that attractive.
Here is my thought. The Republicans, who ALWAYS say government should be treated like a business . . . even though it's really government . . want to make sure the largest "business" in Wisconsin, which handles hundreds of millions of dollars that go to people that REALLY need help, is run by the lowest paid bottom of the barrel vilified people? Is that what they consider good business practice?
The knowledge running these systems by people that really know what they are doing is evaporating and there is no one to take their place. Just sayin'.

STILL no resolution on my computer. I guess the police have parking tickets to give out and don't really want to be bothered with actual crime.

When we purchased a new washing machine a few years ago from Sears and one of the selling points (we were told) was that in 2 years we could have a FREE preventive maintenance visit from a trained technician. I'm pretty sure they know that 99% of people will forget . . . unless they have a smart phone and put it on their calendar. So today I'm waiting around for the dude to show up.
It was suppose to me Saturday morning but we got a call Friday confirming Saturday afternoon . . .no . . . the appointment was for Saturday morning which all of a sudden was a problem for them.
So they said Monday morning the 27th and I would get a call a day ahead of time to confirm . . . which I didn't get! The trained technician is probably Bradly from DUC Computers and he'll wreak the washer so he can fix it for $352.

Today's big job . . .besides watching the Daytona is making a new set of Columbus postcards. I'm waiting for the new 20x30 images for Hydro Street to come and have plans for the NEXT set which will be Civil War re-enactors.
Columbus will have a Civil War reenactment in June during the Columbus Carriage Festival (or whatever it's called now). So I plan on attending a few wars BEFORE the war in Cbus so Hydro Street Brewing will Civil War images up.
BTW - Hydro Street Brewing is getting ready to add 5 more taps and are doing very well.

I actually saw one of the Oscar movies. Moneyball. It's rare we see a movie the year it's nominated. Wait, we also saw Bridesmaids so that is two.
Well . . . I'm stalling . . .
