I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.

THE HITS KEEP COMING!!
For reasons that remain unclear to me, the best podcast for rock & roll books invited me back. I can’t say enough about host Eric Senich; he’s a class act all around. He deserves better than me & my malarkey.

Perfectly different and traditional. There's been a lot of rockabilly or surf Christmas music since, but no one else has done it this well.
