PSA #5u

Well folks I am a day late, but I am going to pretend I am not, and I wanted to wish you all a very happy fourth of July. This holiday, dedicated to our country's birth, and its proud spirit, is traditionally spent with family around the BBQ with beers in hand. And if that weren't dangerous enough, then we add firecrackers to the mix and we are almost guaranteed to watch Darwinism in action, as Aunt Ethel's newest "friend", a guy who already has two too many first names, Billy Joe Bob, stumbles his Coors Light drinking (because today is a holiday and we have to have the good stuff) ass out into the middle of the road where he will use his cigarette as a lighter and announce proudly to the group "Hey y'all, check this out."

You see kids, isn't celebrating the nation's birthday fun !!!


And also of note on this patriotic weekend, I too will be celebrating, as I am agreeing to pay even more taxes, for the rest of this year, and the foreseeable future. You see, I just reached an agreement to leave my position as a manager for Kanes Furniture and join the team at Publix, the nations largest privately owned Supermarket chain. For those of you that don't know Pubix, they are a fortune 500 company who each of the last 15 years have been rated as one of the nation's 100 best companies to work for (one of only 9 companies to have a streak as long) by fortune magazine.

Anyhow, I have agreed to join their team, as the newly created Junior Vice President of Training and Managerial Development for the IS Business Unit. This is a great opportunity for me to move to a company where I can really see myself working till retirement, and between the culture there, and the generous benefits package and salary, I know I will be a happy camper. Not only am I going to be reaching new financial heights, but I will also be regaining my nights and weekends, as I am only asked to work from 8:30am - 4:00pm, Monday thru Friday.


So, in conclusion, I wanted to end this fifth Public Service announcement by wishing a happy birthday to our beloved country, and happy new job to myself, and a happy new prosthetic left arm, glass eye, and two skin grafting surgeries to Bill Joe Bob.
