Hello loyal readers of The Constant Complainer. Yes, I’m still alive, although it’s been a few months since I last posted. Please accept my apologies for being away. I’m rested, ready to get back on track and hope to be around again on a more regular basis. What, do you ask, was so monumental that…

Does any family time qualify as quality family time? Some people may say yes. That’s what my buddies and I were discussing last weekend during a trip to Wheeling Island (casino and racetrack in West Virginia). We went there to watch the dog races. Now, under normal circumstances, children are not allowed in casinos, so we…

Today I’m going to shamelessly steal on of my blog-friend’s ideas (just for the day of course). Jen over at Hope Studios has a “Feedback Friday” segment which is extremely popular. And I thought one of yesterday’s news stories was a perfect fit for such a segment. So enjoy this one-time edition of “Feedback Friday” here at…

I can remember my neighbors going Black Friday shopping when I was kid. They’d get up around 7 a.m. and head out to K-Mart to see what the deals were. At the time, I can remember thinking they were nuts to get up that early. But given today’s standards, it seems like we were tame…

After working for all of these years in Risk Management and seeing just about every workplace situation, it’s often difficult to find something that truly shocks me. Ah, who am I kidding, I still get surprised at least once a day. And this story is no example. On Saturday, the Associated Press reported that Transocean…

So…are you a fan of movie sequels or not? My two brothers-in-law and I always have this discussion. I’m the first one to admit that I’m a sucker for a good movie trailer and sequel. But even I’ll agree that Hollywood sometimes goes overboard when they decide to “green-light” sequels. It’s a little known fact…

Dear Time Warner Cable, I’d like to take a moment to comment on your horrible service last week. And while I normally wouldn’t go to such public lengths to complain, I am fed up with the continuous problems in our area and feel that something needs to be done about them. Let me take you…

Yesterday, I almost fell out of my chair when my friend showed me her niece’s cell phone bill from last month. The most notable portion of the bill was the amount of text messages that were sent. The 17-year-old niece sent 11,799 text messages in one 30-day cycle. Here’s a copy of the bill to…
