About the Writer of these Blogs
- Sid Brechin
- Canada
- I was born 14 Jan 1954 by putting it that way I don't have to remember to update my age each year. I am retired now. I worked for the Toronto Transit Commission for 29 years. As a Subway Streetcar and Light Rail Mechanic. My last couple of years as foreman of the Subway Mechanics and Equipment Control Desk. In other words the Control tower only rather than dealing with drivers and passengers my duties were the vehicles and the mechanics who kept them running. I also served with the Canadian Armed Forces 1st as a Cadet Instructor starting on my 18th Birthday then later as an Infantry Officer with the Lorne Scots Regiment whose Insignia is at the Top Left of these blogs. I hope that those who read these writings takes something of use to them from the writing. At the least I hope they entertain or inform.

Ha ha! I detect the nutty professor is coming back to life!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Sid...XXX
Tracey you just reminded me of some funny stories from when I was married to my first wife. Two of her close friends were tenured professors. One of Art History one of Comparative Linguistics. Often Nora was invited to the parties they were and of course I was her escort her.
ReplyDeleteThey used to joke ( her two friends ) that after some their co-workers would comment they were glad I wasn't in the same field as they could never publish enough to keep up with me. Both Brian and Hanni would laugh and say I may be able to keep up with them in their fields but would bet they knew less than the first thing about mine. They were usually shocked to discover I was an Electrical Mechanic by trade. More when they discovered I was also a soldier.
Tracey lots of reasons I am not myself right now. This is the time of year most family deaths took place as well some other tramautic events.
ReplyDeleteThe isolation vrs solitude vrs loneliness thing is really hitting me hard for some reason. I guess in a sense it is like the emperor's new clothes. While I could look at it as a solitary existance by choice I was fine. One the armor of solitude was gone I was naked for all the world to see.
I enrolled in the local dating site but nothing so far. Just what should a man put on such a site. I'm not a pig ( I hope ). Yet the ladies seem to only write 3 lines but want the man's entire life history, bank statements, employment and educational records and written references from every female he has ever gone out with.
Should I email you ladies copies of what the add is so you and warn me of my major mistakes. One lady friend suggested I mention the blog in it so they could see how I think. What do all or you ( not just Tracey ) think of that idea?
That's a brilliant idea! They could then read what an intelligent witty, kindhearted soul you are.
ReplyDeletePaul gets really morose as we get nearer to Christmas so I understand some of how you are feeling. Keep your chins up..... Things can only get better. XXX
Sid, iam happy to see this funny remarks from you again. So how many responses did you get from that dating site? tell them ladies, you only exchange records to those who will also give you theirs. And always ask for an "eye-ball" coz they might be hiding behind someone's photo.
ReplyDeleteI got an award for you! i hope you will find a way to put it in your sidebar.
ReplyDeleteSince it is from you I will either put it in a sidebar or do an awards article. That way it will load faster and who knows maybe I will get some in future.
ReplyDeleteThe danger will come when I start designing awards for others. You have seen what some of my graphics are like. They will be unique and likely one of a kind. Maybe Tracey should get a best chicken sitter. No yolk intended
You pillock! I've only just read that last comment!
