Saturday Three

 

Last round for this little series about Saturday. We start with Sam Cooke, who sadly died far too early and had a good number of hit singles before his murder. The next one was written by CCR's John Fogerty and covered years later by Dave Edmunds. Finally one of my favorite songs by Tom Waits. Seldom was a cruising through a Saturday night on the search for solution better described as by him.

Working Week Is Over

I often came back to work after a longer hiatus but it never was like this week. Plenty of work waiting on my desk to be done. And not only done most of them should be done quickly because my final work was needed for various appointments for our CEO or external audit. So I exercised my duties with some almost 10 hour shifts and when I came home I just wanted to sit down, watch an hour or so TV and then falling asleep. I didn't had the power to continue the blog and I am confident that next week will be easier to work and I can have more time for myself.
