Getting Down To Business

Bachman-Turner Overdrive had/have a hit on the radio that everyone one knows… here are the Lyrics to "Takin' Care of Business".
“You get up every morning
From your 'larm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be….

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out”

I knew it was there… the two lines… slipped in there just for me!
“Look at me I'm self-employed I love to work at nothing all day”

I have found the Retiree’s Theme Song! That is what I do… Nothing!

At least it seems that way… when NOTHING gets done! Oh boy.

Let me explain…
Yesterday was entitled Blue Monday – the worst day of the year for many people. A press release gave a formula that included Weather, Debt after Christmas, Failed Resolutions and Low Motivation plus the Need to take action. It is a little complicated – but it describes well the reason that I want to do nothing at the moment!

So that is what I did up to yesterday… when suddenly a burst of inspiration hit and I completed a major task that was hanging over my head.

If you would like to see the newest adventure… take a look at http://tattingwhisperer.wordpress.com/ (It is also my first adventure using Wordpress and all of its tools. A bit of a learning curve to say the least. Great for Blue Monday!)

My newest Title is “Tatting Whisperer” – you know like the Dog Whisperer and the Horse Whisperer. They can get animals to do what they should… and I work with Lace that way as well.

On the side… I am involved with huge number of Tatters world wide.. right around the Globe. The accepted way to share ideas and patterns is to have a Blog that deals with just that. When trying to find a name that would tell my story, each one that I have used locally and in my demonstrations was taken by someone else.

What’s next?
I have two major jobs to do involving Web Pages. The ideas are in place… but as yet the motivation has been lacking somewhat… but with Blue Monday behind me now… I am ready to FLY!

Then there are the upcoming shows and potential sales.. in April and May and June… and I am not quite ready…. Oh Boy

Bachman-Turner Overdrive goes on…
“If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day
And we be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime”

Come to think of it…
That song really says nothing. Have you noticed that? But I love the tune and basically do nothing!

Gotta run to another meeting for today… where I can be “Takin’ Care of Business” and I will be Getting Down to Business in everyway….

Lyrics to Bachman-Turner Overdrives Hit
Takin’ Care of Business

You get up every morning
From your 'larm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out

If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day
And we be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime

Mercy
Whooooo
All right
[Instrumental Interlude]
Take good care of my business
When I'm away, every day
Whoooo

You get up every morning
From your 'larm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime

[Brief Instrumental Interlude]

Takin' care of business, whoo
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business (every day)
Takin' care of business (every way)
Takin' care of business (it's all mine)
Takin' care of business
And working overtime
Whoooo
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
We be Takin' care of business
We be Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
