« DCYF director: R.I. needs 50 more social workers | Today | Why the new highway crisscrosses » August 16, 2007The King, 30 years gone, may have had one wishSure there are Elvis look-alikes and -- sort of -- sound-alikes, but perhaps on this, the 30th anniversary of the King's passing, he would have simply liked us all to go out tonight for some tunes. (And enjoy a peanut butter and banana sandwich -- said to be one of his favorites).

a day late..
5 years ago, when I was filling in a 3rd shift vacation, I noticed that 6 am was when the company caterers brought in breakfast. So I proceeded to load a bagel with peanut butter, and put 2 slices of banana on each one. When I got into work the next nite, both slices were sitting there untouched. I guess the day people thought they were for 'someone else'. They were probably consumed or thrown out by the cleaning crew.
5 years later, I'm on 3rd again at a different place of employment, they bring in breakfast after I leave, so I locate an English muffin, a jar of Jif in the fridge, and WHERE IS THE $%@%*#! BANANA?? Aww forget it..the cleaning crew comes in just after I leave and will prob consume/throw it out before everyone gets in..
