A Funeral For An “X” Friend Named Twitter

1 Comment

After the recent news that Elon Musk would move Twitter to a paid platform, I decided to delete my Twitter account today. To tell you the truth I should have done it sooner. It was bittersweet because I have been on X/Twitter for a long time. My thinking is that it will die sooner rather than later. I also don’t want something like that hanging around because I don’t know what will happen to the things I have done there. So I am pronouncing @tonyburgess1969 on Twitter digitally dead. Rest In Peace, Twitter.

I am on Threads which is getting better all the time. Check me out there.

Today Is International Blood Donor Recruitment Professional’s Day

2 Comments

I work for Blood Assurance, a Chattanooga , Tennessee based regional blood bank as a Telerecruiter. That means that I’m on the phones every day asking donors to come in for another blood donation. I work with a team of people who like me are tasked with helping to insure a safe and adequate blood supply for the people and hospitals we serve. It’s not an easy job but it’s important work. Success comes from lives saved and making a connection with donors in the community who also want to help save lives with their blood donations.

Would You Like To Know More, Asking Questions

3 Comments

This is not a post about the movie Starship Troopers, where there is a constant question “Would you like to know more?”.

This post is focused on asking questions about stuff you don’t know anything about and would like to know something about. We should never be so intelligent that we make people feel dumb just for asking. It seems that sort of behavior happens online more these days.

To be enlightened, you must ask questions and be curious. I need to do more of that, we all need to do that. Even spouses need improvement in asking questions and listening.

So, yes, I would like to know more. It’s okay to explain to me so that I will be learned.

I Am Divergent

4 Comments

I know I am a weirdo. I am divergent in how I see the world around me. To be honest it can be a little lonely. I am made differently and I thank God for it. It doesn’t stop me from being in the community and doing my daily work. It’s just something that I live with. Some people look at me and probably wonder what in the world he is talking about. My heart and head can be interesting places to encounter. I suppose the way I learn and understand stuff in life makes me look at things from a unique perspective. I am grateful to those who put up with me for all my faults and quirks. I am who I am and that is all I can say.
