Furlough, Pt. II: Day Six (Friday)

Hey everyone. Thursday was the craziest weather day I've seen during my 10-year stay in Montgomery. We received 10+ inches of rain in less than six hours. Streets flooded. Cars floating away. Houses wet.

It sucked.

I hope you Gumpians fared reasonably well. Still can't believe how that whole thing went down. The rain wouldn't stop!

Auburn? I'll do my best to recap on Sunday and into next week. I'm on a mandated, unpaid furlough and I can't work. This blog entry was pre-loaded last weekend.

Yes, I correctly predicted flash food conditions six days in advance. Rich Thomas had better watch his back.

Furlough, Pt. II: Day Five (Thursday)

Hey everyone. HABOTN headquarters may have had some issues with power loss and water in the kitchen this morning, though nothing can be confirmed since I am on furlough and I post-dated this thread.

Sorry for this thread's late arrival.

Take a look at the radar if you're not in the Selma-Montgomery-Auburn area. You'll understand.

Peace and love.

Furlough, Pt. II: Day Four (Wednesday)

Hey everyone. Here we are on Wednesday, which means I'm about half-way through my unpaid furlough. Working in the newspaper business isn't exactly the most comfortable sector these days, but I like what I do and I love the HABOTN.

Just re-affirming my commitment to you.

Since this post was created before my furlough, I cannot provide any specifics about 80s Music or Auburn Beat Writer Trivia Quizzes I'm planning to upload to Facebook. That may or may not have happened. If you have the means to check those, though, I'd highly recommend it. They're (going to be) so choice.

Fight the power, damn the man, etc.

Furlough, Pt. II: Day Three (Tuesday)

Hey everyone. It's Day Three of my latest unpaid furlough, which Gannett hopes will help offset its challenging financial situation. As a loyal employee, I blame outside problems -- chiefly predatory lenders -- as the reason behind my company's issues.

Suspension of disbelief? Perhaps.

Anyway, I am not able to blog. It's forbidden.

I have pre-loaded daily threads to pop up at 9 a.m. CDT so the conversations that make the HABOTN so delicious resume. Please don't be scared, angered or turned off my my parent company's difficulties. I'm very spendthrift.

Peace and love.

Furlough, Pt. II: Day Two (Monday)

Hey everyone. As you know by now, I am on unpaid furlough this week as my parent company, Gannett, slugs its way through these difficult economic times.

As such, I am not able to blog. It's forbidden.

I have pre-loaded daily threads to pop up at 9 a.m. CDT so the conversations that make the HABOTN so delicious resume. Please don't be scared, angered or turned off my my parent company's difficulties. I'm very spendthrift.

Furlough, Pt. II: Day One

Hey everyone. As I have discussed before, Gannett's furlough program was extended into the second quarter and, as such, I am on unpaid leave this week.

I cannot blog. It's strictly prohibited.

I have pre-loaded daily blog posts so HOTTIES still can converse during my absence. Have a nice day.
