My brother just sent me a pair of Nikon Monarch hunting binoculars as a belated birthday present.  Seems odd to me that he doesn’t seem to remember my birthday until his own birthday is approaching!  I think he’s figured out that if I don’t get a birthday gift from him, he’s not going to get one from me!

The box that the binoculars came in indicated that he bought them from the Internet site opticsplanet.com.  They sell a large variety of really high quality Nikon binoculars.  These binoculars he sent me are really something special!  They are Shockproof, Waterproof, Fogproof, rubber-armored. I’ve never had a set of binoculars this fancy before!  I know they are designed for hunting, but I’ll just be using them to enjoy watching the wildlife in my own backyard.

I’ve gotten pretty disgusted with the amount of people at work who call in sick just because they have accumulated some sick time and want to take the day off, even if they aren’t really sick.  It puts a hardship on the rest of us at work that come in; we have to do our jobs and cover for them too.  I know they’re not really sick because I frequently see them later in the day – maybe during the lunch hour at a fast food joint or sometimes if they’re really stupid they’ll stop in at work to say hello to some friends.  It’s a miracle they don’t get fired!  And it is tough on the morale of the people who have a strong work ethic and only call in sick if they really ARE sick.
