As I sit here at my desk, a couple of minutes before a meeting, I have to sit and wonder if I should continue working here. I admit, I know my job and I believe I perform my duties fairly well. But, there is someone I work with that I have a crush on, and it seems to be getting worse as time goes on. She's married, I'm married, I would be WAY THE FUCK out of my league if we were single, yet the feeling remains.
I definitely think it's time to look for a new company to work for, so I can get away from temptation.

Rain rain go away...
We are on our 5th (6th?? 7th??) straight day of rain. And we are not talking about a drizzle or the occassional mist. Noooooooooooooo! We are talking about thunder, lightning, and torrential downpours. In the past few days it's been measured at over 10 inches. I don't doubt it. Friday night I was at the casinoand they actually shut it down! There was a tornado over our heads. That was "fun".
Other than that, nothing to report.

Eh...
Sitting in my office right now part of a virtual meeting (computer and phone -- saves money having to fly some of us up north), and not getting as much out of this as I thought I wouuld have. OK, as I had HOPED I would have. That's ok though. I have some leads on where to look for information now, and I've seen this before on a smaller scale.
Been a really weird week for me. Was told by my child that both his mother and I are an embarrassment. We were told we were not allowed to meet his girlfriend. Of course, later, the story changed, and his girlfriend is really shy and he was afraid of her being embarrassed by meeting us. Yeah, bullshit! I have not spoken to my son since. You are sitting there saying "that's just wrong" but I don't think it is. So many times, he has said things, then later tried to change it by saying "he was misunderstood" or some crap like that. I have been there, was much the same way at his age. Got the same results. He will learn. If he doesn't, well that's his problem now. He's old enough.
Had a great run at the casino's the past few days. Saturday, went to Cherokee for the AM tournament, but it was cancelled for the 2nd straight week. I played cash, and walked out 270 up. Sunday went to Downstream, played their AM tournament, and split top prize. Monday night went to Cherokee and finished 3d in the PM tournament. Unfortunately Tuesday night finished 4th and got nothing. So, I'm up for the week and done going until Saturday AM again.

Bad morning...
Thinking about things, not aimed at anyone in particular I will name here. It makes me laugh, how people complain if they actually have to work. They have a life. Guess what? Who the fuck cares?!? I sure as shit don't. You think the world owes you a life? You think where you work owes you a fucking life?? The higher you go, the less you are willing to do, then you fucking cry about it, or take your sweet time doing it, because you've "been here awhile and the company owes something to you". Kiss my ass, all of you. I'm sorry you're the ones that spent all that time working your way up and got there, so now you think you don't have to do it anymore, or as fast, not caring a shit about the ones you are servicing. I am sorry you are the one that went to school and spent all that money so you could move up in the company and do less, while making it look like you're the top banana in the fucking world. I am so fucking sick of it all. Yet, there isn't anything I can do about it, right?
Think again...

...and it continues...
Someone said to me today that they haven't read my blog in a short while. I told them it's no big deal, because I haven't blogged in awhile. Work has been nothing short of a nightmare for the entire team I am a part of. I will not go into details, but there definitely has to be an improved way of working for us all, which includes getting way too many people involved in everyone's business and more communication than we have going on right now. A new salesman wouldn't be a bad idea either ... one that nods his head after you explain the same shit to him over and over for 20 minutes, only to ask the same question the next day. Not because he doesn't remember what you told him the day before, but because (A) he doesn't like the answer you gave him -or- (B) he's testing us to see if we GIVE the same answer as yesterday -or- (C) he IS that stupid!
We had our annual GtM meeting today. Wow! We used to travel for this, but the past few years we've taken advantage of the internet. It saves a lot of money, and makes a lot of sense. No point in paying for employees from all over the U.S. and surrounding countries to go to Connecticut for one night (two tops). There's not much point. Plus, in my role, I get to work while the meeting is going on, so I do not ignore the customer with a lame excuse of "I have a meeting, you will have to wait." This excuse works if someone else is covering, and they don't have to wait. I don't care who the customer is, either. One request, no waiting. Wish everything was like that, but it isn't.
OK, soap box time. I am SOOOOO tired of people that "take advantage" because the company is "flexible" or they only need to put in so many hours, then the company owes them. Guess what? I learned something before (A) you were born -or- (B) you became too high and mighty on yourself and think you're all that and a bag of chips (which by the way, you're not even CLOSE to!) -- we are salaried. By being salaried, yes, the company allows us the opportunity to leave early one day as long as work is completed and/or covered. We do not lose pay for this. We do not get penalized for this. However, we are also expected to work additional hours when the work is not completed/covered. This does not mean I can come to work whenever I want, take as long a lunch as I want, THEN try to cry saying how late I work. There are 2 ways you get away with that. (1) Who are you fucking?! (2) Your boss is a fucking idiot. Well, I know your boss, and he isn't. And you are expendable (my personal opinion).
Finally got to mow my back lawn tonight.Waited WAY too long. It wasn't as bad as it used to be when I'd wait, but damn if it wasn't still very wet underneath. I flattened it more than cut it. That's OK though. Gotta start somewhere. Next time we get a good 2-3 day stretch of no rain, I'll mow again and will heal the lawn.
That's about it. Hope you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed venting. 53 days without smoking. Start collecting for bail, I'm off the pills.

Strange week so far...
Today's only Wednesday. First I thought it was Thursday, then when I got home I thought it was Friday. Work has been good this week. Have a long meeting tomorrow which is not mandatory, but it's definitely something I should be involved in. However, I have alot to do for ice cream. Will see what happens.
Had an offsite meeting today. It was also a farewell for a co-worker. I said it in the meeting, and I'll say it here. Love ya kid! You're MY hero!
Had a great weekend at the casino with Ann. Walked out ahead, but came home early to work 6 hours. That was after working over 3 hours on Saturday before leaving. Sometimes it sucks, but it honestly feels good when I get it all done, knowing it's right and proper.
That's about it. TTFN!!

Venting...
I said on February 23rd "you want to get the AMPS plan updated right away, they are taking the snapshot over the weekend for the 28th start" and was told "that's ok, we are going to work on it on March 3rd." Did anyone fucking listen to me?? Believe it or not, sometimes I know what the fuck I'm talking about!!
So, now the snapshot is in, the quantities are wrong, and we got screwed. TWICE! THEN we go to find out we could have had it if we asked. Well, guess what. The ones that KNEW we could get more didn't tell the rest of us.
Everyone thinks they are the king and queen, pauper's be damned. They know nothing. Well guess what bitch? This pauper knows more than you do about the ins and outs of the business apparently, so start paying some fucking attention! Save me the aggravation of having to correct all of your bullshit, and let's not mention the one that is supposed to watch the fucking promos! After all of this shit, 3 1/2 hours after I got online to work, I MAY be able to start my daily duties. Not to mention there are still 29 promo orders that I have to write TODAY, because I'll be fucking damned if I'm not going away for the weekend. Nobody else bothers to work past 5pm any day of the week, yet I'm the schmuck that works every fucking weekend!
