We have two new bosses in our company, a CEO and CFO. Both of them have their heads so far up theirs it is amazing. Both of them look down their noses at people and let you know that they are better than you.
The CFO refuses to return phone calls or emails to those he feels are below him. This a-wipe thinks that the whole world revolves around him and him alone. He is even making decisions for the CEO as far as what kind of furniture and computers he wants. Another self-important jerk.
Posting on more job website than ever. Not too hopeful but you never know.
It is Sunday, feels like it is gooing to be muggy as all hell.
Went to the Fortunoff Mall the other day. Sad. Last year it was filled with stores and crowds, now it is a ghost town. I counted 32 empty stores on the main level alone. Plus 6 empt kiosks. The food court was down to only 4 vendors. They had 10. Even McDonalds was gone. I wonder how much longer it is
before the rest of the stores vanish.

Been a few days
It has been a few days since my last entry. Been very busy at work and at home.
The weather had been rough. For several days the heat and humidity was unbearable. Mostly the humidity. We finally had a break towards the end of the week ending in violent thunderstorms yesterday. Power was knocked out all over the area. A relative got hers back in about an hour and we were about seven hours later.
I woke up around 3am and the fog was so thick I could not see across the street. Went back to bed and we finally got up at 7 to clear skies and a wonderful day. Hope it stays like this.
We have a new CEO at the office. A real piece of work. Condescending does not even come close to describing this guy. Now he runs the place and in his first speech to all of us he said that he worked hard in getting our company off the ground. The way he looks down his nose I don't beleave him.
He said that he worked with a Mac at his last job so we got him a Mac. It is the first and will be the only Mac in the fleet. It took us 3 days just to get it to work on our network and there still are issues. One of the techs asked about it and he said that he never used a Mac before. It just looks cool. I am beyond furious. We spent $2500 on a Mac for this guy because he said he used one at his last job and it turns out he did't! We are in for a rough time ahead.
One of our execs has had it with this guy and is ready to walk. One week and he is ready? Can't say I blame him. I am going to look harder too. So back to Craig's List only I expanded my search to the lower keys. Maybe the pickings will be better there.
Time to get going, lots to do around the house and I am going to visit a few friends this morning.

Ugly week with one exception
This week was an ugly one, weather wise. Wednesday and Thursday the humidity was unbearable. We broke down and had to turn on the air conditioners. There goes the LIPA bill.
Met the new CEO early this week. Seems alright. One of our execs says he is going to quit before the CEO officially takes over. We will see. I have a feeling that we are in for a rough ride for the next few months. I just hope he does not get the idea to let everyone go or move the office closer to where he lives.
There is a young woman here, a real cute one at that. We have been having lunch a few times this week. Today she is dressed in this lightweight dress showing leg, lots of leg. She is a knock out. Have to admit I am attracted to her. If I was older and not married...
Shame that she is going out with this guy. I understand that he has kids and does not want them to meet her. I have a feeling that he has her for something on the side and does not want mama to know.
It was insane busy here on Tuesday. Couldn't get a break. The rest of the week slowed up. But I still cannot catch up.
I am working on a major project here. My boss is taking full credit for it and doing no work on it at all. Guess that is the corporate way. I should be use to that by now.
Have to work this weekend. Kinda sucks but since no one will be here I will get no interruptions. That is nice.
My wife roped me into going to that stupid fair for the church on Sunday. Have to spend the whole day there. Not looking forward to it at all.
Still posted on Craig's list. So far the area does not look promising and the low lying landscape is not very reassuring. But I really need to get the hell out of here. I can't stand living in New York any more and would love to move where there is no snow. In all these months I have had much luck with Key West and call me stupid, but I am still going to try anyway.

It is hitting the fan
I am going to have to do this entry it pieces...reason is that it has been hitting the fan like you would not believe.
First off but this is not the good stuff, there was a house near where I live. It went on the market and sold pretty quickly. The buyer tore it down and is not building three two family buildings there. Each has no yard. They are cramming them into a small spot. We are so over crowded where I live you can't find a place to park now. The main roads are like parking lots with the amount of traffic. And these places are going to rent for over $3,000 per month. That is the rents of a few buildings just down the street from there. It is out of control.
On the way to work I see people running a particular stop sign all the time. Even in front of a cop car and the officer ignores it. Of course those that a running the sign have brand new Mercedes or BMW's, etc. Guess if you have money you are above the law. Our taxes hard at work.
Looks like I might be out of job but not any time soon. So I figure that we will have 6 months of work left. Gotta try Craig's list again.
This coming few weeks is going to be interesting at best. Let's see how it rides out but I am not too hopeful for a long time stay.
The town of Port Washington is having their annual street fair called Harbor Day. Talk about a waste of time. They have the whole lower section of Port Washington blocked off for these out of town street vendors to sell their junk. It originally was for the local but now, like a carnival all the lime come out of the wood work. Plus the crowds! OMG, you cannot move. We drove by there only to turn around and leave.
Since I brought up lower Main Street in Port Washington, we had dinner with some friends at Louie's the other day. It is the first time I've been in there since it was sold. It is night and day different inside. I didn't recognize it at all. I didn't like the new look one bit. The food was good, but the service was pathetic. Took them forever to take our orders and to bring us the food. We nearly walked out. Strange they had a large crowd.
