Per standard Sunday policy (SSP), it’s Read Free Sunday (RFS) at The Diary (TD).

Saturday, June 26 We ended up getting really far behind schedule at the convention today…Recall this is our first convention since 2019 and there were no less than 22 resolutions to dispense with…Resolutions start off in posts and are approved by districts before being sent to the state where a committee decides to recommend approval, rejection or referral to another committee…There are a couple of other administrative options, too.

A couple of things about Les: one, he’s been married for 60 years, which would have caused me to whistle if I could do so without slobbering over myself because regular readers of this crap know The Ex and I threw in the towel before making it to ten years of wedded bliss.
The second thing Stanko pointed out after Les left: he was put in for the Medal of Honor – our country’s highest military award – for unspecified heroics in Vietnam, tho the rats at the Pentagon ended up issuing Les the next-highest award, the Distinguished Service Cross, itself an award that is hardly passed out with the rations.

Friday, June 25 This is not Hotel of the Year…The service is good – hardly Sparrow-esque but what is, frankly – and the room is satisfactory but the in-room coffee is that world-dominating brand, which I’ve never particularly liked, plus the WiFi here was difficult to log into and slow besides.

I wanted to self-immolate after attending 2.5 hours of the state Legion’s executive board meeting today…Good gravy, that was boring, with most people talking way longer than mandated by the dictates of both decorum and personal interest…

Thursday, June 24 One of the benefits of working tonight – a night I usually have off – was being able to see Mark’s ink/highlighter combination on his Cash Drawer Spreadsheets (CDSS) and my suspicions that he rolled with a different combination on the night I’m not there were confirmed because while Mark used his semi-standard red ink for his name, he accented the day, date, amounts and the slash thru his name with yellow highlighter!!!…I am not making that up, he kicked it old-school with the first highlighter color ever.

You really can’t blame the cat for this, either…Late Wednesday afternoons, when I usually get home from the VSO, are when she usually gets a canned yummy ration and this brings up the question of whether or not the cat actually knows the days of the week – in which case she should probably be treated with much more respect than I’m currently affording her – or whether she was just hungry.

Then he starts in on me…I’m counting the cash drawers, tho, and while he wasn’t so drunk he couldn’t tell I was working, he was drunk enuff not to care and soon enuff he’s talking about how he really wanted to join the French Foreign Legion when he had gotten out of the Air Force…Eventually, it was time to retire to the back office, so I apologized but was firm when he tried to offer other talking points…The bar was closed and he seemed disappointed to have to go back to his room.

Today At The Site Writing worth reading. Usually.
The Diary of a Nobody – There’s been a shake-up at the hotel’s sundry stand. Today’s Diary.
In sundry stand news, someone – there are no suspects as of now – switched the pizza and ice cream bars in the freezer…I am not making that up and, like you, I have some zero clue why…From the start of my time here, the middle row had the ice cream sandwiches and the bottom row was reserved for Hot Pockets or burritos and now pizza…I’m sure there’s a good reason someone switched it up, but none is coming immediately to mind and we should all be grateful the person or persons unknown didn’t mess with the single-serving ice cream on the top row.

I balanced sometimes between principle and inclination…So convenient a thing it is to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for everything one has a mind to do. Benjamin Franklin Autobiography
