Viewing the Basketball Player....Caitlin Clark And The WNBA

 To be honest, I've almost quit viewing major league baseball, and NFL football...because of all the woke-gimmicks and crappy sports-chatter.

Over the past year....I've started to watch some NBA action (strictly the Denver Nuggets), and all this hyped-up NCAA ladies basketball....with Caitlin Clark.

Clark wrapped up her college years, and in the past 2 months....started WNBA action.  

So I'll make three observations:

1.  Clark as far as I'm concerned is probably the best overall college basketball gal to come out of the system in the past decade...maybe even ever.

2.  The WNBA needs some 'lift'....because nothing over the past 20 years has pumped up fans.

3. This keeping her off  the Olympic ladies team?  Well...this afternoon, I read that NBC has offered Clark a analyst job at the games.  Peeving the ladies even more?  Oh yeah.....every critical play that they screw up on....Clark will identify it and how they could have done better. 

Amazing how this whole thing has turned into a circus.

Time Blindness?

 I sat and watched a video where a young lady (I'd suggest she was 20)....confessed that she had something called “time blindness” which meant she was continually late to work.

At first, I thought she was just 100-percent bluffing.  Well....no, she indicated that she had a problem and the boss let her go because of the continuing trend of being late.

At my first job in the Air Force....the boss  (Sarge) let it be known....work started at 7:30 AM, and you could be two minutes late without a harsh reaction.  Beyond 5 minutes late....Sarge would let you get the full 'dump'.  Anything beyond 15 minutes late...had better have a good explanation....like a car accident or snowfall.

I started to notice with airmen after 2000....this lateness thing was becoming a big issue.  This often went hand-in-hand with people who refused to wear a watch.  For these people....time didn't matter.
