If I could have one job for a day, I think it would be CEO of a large corporation.

I have this notion in my head that CEO’s generally don’t do much work, instead living a pampered lifestyle and just collecting large paychecks and vacationing a lot. I’d really like to be a CEO for a day so that I could compare this notion to the accounts I’ve read of CEOs working 60-70+ hour weeks. I am very curious about the type of work a CEO does in a day, and how it compares to the work I do on a daily basis. The issues they deal with, and number of issues they have to confront in a given day, is also very interesting to me.

I think having the opportunity to be a CEO for a day would really give me some valuable perspective on life, employment, and in general, serve as a nice reality check to contrast the notions in my head that I suspect are greatly unfounded. Perhaps I would be better off as an Asgi shoes salesman.

If you were given the opportunity to have any job for just one day, what would it be, and why?

I have been clamoring for a new blog design for quite some time now, but every time I get right to the point of no return, I back out. I have been with this current design going on two years now, and it is starting to get a little stale. I began working on a custom design, and fired off an email to my good buddy Canucklehead to ask him if he could help me out with a good tagline that would appear in the header.

He asked me why I was changing it, and I told him, and he convinced me that it probably wasn’t a good idea.

But I have to do something, I thought. It just the same ol’, same ol’, day in and day out.

He proceeded to send me a couple of taglines anyway, and I thought of an idea. Why not use the same header image with rotating taglines? I requested a few more taglines from him, and well, he did not disappoint, as I knew he wouldn’t. He has a knack for this kind of shit.

Anyway, if you scroll back up to the top of the page, and hit the refresh button on your browser, you will notice that the tag line changes with each refresh. Pretty fuckin’ cool, eh?

These are the current taglines in rotation:

• Putting the ‘ill’ in hillbilly.
• This blog runs on moonshine.
• Red neck, White lies, Blue collar.
• Coal mining and moon shining!
• Making Molehills out of Mountaineers since 1979.
• West Virginia: One Big Happy Family … Literally!

And of course the classic one that has been up there for a while: If you have ever stopped by my house, you came on purpose, because I live on the way to nowhere.

Now that is a great start, but I need some more. So if any of you are feeling creative today, just leave a little tagline in the comments section, and if I like it, I will put it into rotation, and you will get a link to your blog in my footer. Such as Canucklehead has.

So get to it. Come up with a good HillBilly / Hick / Redneck / West Virginia tagline. Let’s see what ya got.

Something strange is happening to me today. Not to me personally, but to my shoelace. And only the shoelace on my right shoe.

That son of a bitch won’t stay tied at all. I can tie it, and 15 minutes later it’s all loose again, clicking the floor as I walk. These aren’t new shoes either. Quite the contrary, actually, but I have never had this problem with them before.

Maybe this string had enough after yesterday. He just said “Fuck it, you ain’t tyin’ me up anymore.”

Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? Why does it happen?

When shoelaces get old do they lose their tieability? Are there little elves untying my shoe whilst I am busy attending to other things?

WTF is going on here? I must know!
