The Schloss-Blog is looking at the latest from Fast Company - "Six Mental Shifts That Will Make You Happier At Work" - plus, defining 'Woke' and Fox 'Not The' News.

I keep hearing Ron 'DeSanctimonious,' as Tramp likes to call him, talk about 'Woke' and Florida being where it goes to die.
He can't even define Woke; it means, literally, 'past tense of wake,' and more recently, "hip and open-minded.' Then there's the trending definition, "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination."
DeSantis is none of those and he doesn't even know any of them. He just likes to call anyone 'woke' who disagrees with his discriminatory policies.
Florida, by the way, was where you went to die if you had COVID. DeSantis declared a 'state of emergency' regarding COVID, in an attempt to mitigate against the viruses spread. So when he says Florida stayed open all the while, he's lying. Yet, there were more than 86,000 deaths in Florida from COVID, or 1 in 247 residents. That made Florida third in deaths among all states - behind California and Texas.
Florida's population is almost 22 million. California's population is almost 40 million.
Florida is passing a bill that would require those who blog about DeSantis to register with the state.
Hey Ron, screw you, I'm a blogger and I'm not registering. Gee, I was just in Miami in September. Had your chance to nab me. Too bad you missed me.

Fast Company, which always has tips to make you more productive, happier and more efficient at work, now has published an article that says there are six mental shifts you can practice to make yourself more successful at your new job.
Be meaningfully focused. Be confident. Be inclusive. Have clear goals and be goal oriented. Take things step-by-step and be vision oriented.
My vision is to be step by step and shoot under 90 in golf.
No, wait, that's my dream.

No lie: watching Oregon-UCLA semifinal in the PAC-12 basketball tournament.
Shortly after an alley-oop slam dunk on a pass from UCLA's point guard to the center, there's a media timeout, and as they go to commercial, they replay the slam dunk as color commentator Bill Walton says: "Throw it down big fella, and now the genetically gifted get to go sit on little chairs."
Really.

Saw Eric Johnson, a multiple-time Grammy winner and singer/song-writer extraordinaire in concert at Phoenix' Madison Arts Center. If there's ever been a performer who you never heard of who should be in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, it's him.

Oh wait, just found the Fast Company "5 tips to reduce your job-search stress.'
I suggest starting with nail the interview.

The whole Dominion Voting Machine defamation lawsuit against Fox (not the) News looks like a no-brainer.
Dominion has Fox emails and texts depicting explicitly how Fox' best-known and most-prominent anchors not only knew and overtly acknowledged in private to each other that the Big Lie was just that, but also displayed their utter disgust with Tramp and his sycophants - Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis, among others,
Fox is claiming it was reporting on a story, that story being Trump and friends were claiming fraud.
The evidence clearly says otherwise.
Fox would be foolish to take this to court but they have not backed off yet from their lame defense. They'll settle, I predict, or they'll lose the company.

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.
More tonight on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show. (Hope you listened this morning while I subbed for Joe Catanzaro, who now owes me a round of golf.)
Happy birthday, Ann Hollifield.
