It should be mentioned here that I will likely not be posting quite as much this week. I will be taking advantage of the opportunity to get some overtime hours at my job, as our client (MCI) is making some major changes in it's credit and collections/customer service area. MCI is closing some of it's operations at it's suburban St. Louis call centre, and many of those jobs will likely be moved to Lakeland over the next few months. It's rare that we have OT, so when it comes...you get the picture.

It was done quietly, with little fanfare and no cameras...much different than four years ago. The Florida election results were officially certified Sunday. It was so routine that two of the three members of the Canvassing Board simply called in their approval from home. When they are all Republicans, and their candidate wins, it's that easy.
