Another Christmas morning

The mood is good around our house today. It took a little longer to get everyone up than I expected, but we finally started to unwrap the presents. After all the small talk and comparisons of our gifts, I think that everyone is happy with their gifts. I got the usual pants, ties, and belts and everyone got their usual toys and electronics.

Soon we will all gather in the kitchen and start the typical Christmas meal. We are having turkey with all the trimmings and my favorite deviled eggs. We are blessed this year as everyone is healthy and were able to gather at the house. We got some phone calls from those who were not able to attend. I hope your Christmas was as pleasant as ours and I wish you a merry day.

Gold is gold

The market for gold has been great over the last several years. The bad economy as well as world unrest has led many investors to invest their money in gold. The price has remained high since many people are interested in keeping their money safe. Gold has traditionally been a stable market.

Lately, some have been fooled into believing that gold is no longer a safe way to invest money. I believe that they are wrong. I think that those who sell gold because of short-term reasons are wasting an opportunity to make a lot of money as well as being assured that they will have wealth when all other forms of money sink.

A shocker

The Detroit Lions are in a tough place right now. It seems that one of their players made a bonehead play and now they are paying the price. Ndamukong Suh decided to kick an opposing player at a key point in a game. This play cost the Lions points on the board and a chance to excel in their division.

The worst part is that the Lions will now have to do without their star player for at least two games. He is being suspended until the two game limit is reached. This will definitely have an impact on the lion’s season.

I am not the police

One way that things can go wrong is when many people share the same space. This happens in our break room at work and it has been a mess. It seems that a few things have come up missing and it is my job to solve the problem. Talk about your tough assignments! I sure cannot afford to play policeman all day. Anyway, I think I have come up with a great solution to the problem.

I am considering purchasing some small lockers for the break room area. This will allow employees to lock up their things when they are working. I found a site that sells office lockers and I am very interested in getting some. I think it will be good for everyone. When an employee gets here in the morning, they can put their stuff in a locker and not have to worry about it being lost or stolen.

I am about to sell the idea to my boss and I think it will go through. He is a reasonable man and the cost is not excessive. We can have them installed quickly and easily and I believe it everybody will like the added security. This is just one less problem I have to deal with and that makes my job a little easier.
