Man stands no chance against a jury

The prosecution could put on the stuttering lawyer from "My Cousin Vinny" and still win, for a spammer is just about as nasty as a man who throws animals from a moving car.*

trashy note

There's a tease at work:

"I wanna F _ _ K you all night" is what she wrote for me.

She also told me that she doesn't have enough sex. The sad thing is, everyone disregards it all, so if she were ever serious, no one would know. They don't believe her now.

Muscles you can see

Well, they're mussels you can see. Yeah, like you'd be able to see my muscles under the protective fat I've got.

drive happy

I got a few things done and so on the way to work, I was happy. When I got there ... phletttt!

crappy day

It was turning crappy and so, I sang a little tune of 'it's a (rhymes with "witty") day.' I was right. It was a day like that. I had something to do, but was delayed, delayed, delayed. I think they all have lost their touch with predicting business. They saved money sending people home, only to get busy and patrons get worse service. Stupid, in my perspective.

Note of thanks

I work with a guy on some days, who's leaving his town for the booming metropolis of FW to attend school here. He already has plans/apartment near the school, but no job. I asked around and found the MR knew of some jobs where he works -- manual grunt work, but work nonetheless.

While this guy isn't guaranteed anything, it's nice to know that there is opportunity here and that he might get "lucky" early on while here.

Thanks MR for helping him, for what it's worth.

Unlike my nephew here in FW who needs work, I asked about this other guy who has strong work ethics and who will do the job very well -- perhaps.

Thanks again!

I asked Monkeyjack, but ... summertime is phase out time for his hires, so no luck there ... bummer.

funny note left for me one day

Accussed

Iran charges an Iranian-American with espionage. Yeah, she was selling the US secrets on Iran's technology ...

ha ha ha ha ha

Yep, after 700 years, the "religion" is still corrupted and corrupt, and her attempts to sell the secrets of subjegation, mistreatment, violence, ignorance will not go unpunished.

waving ham in his hand

a poorly cut chunk of ham was much like half a [male member's more notable external part], but it raise a great deal of humor as apparently, it was a "smart" thing to wave it as groin level. He also shook it and called to people to see his discovery. 'Playing with his ham at work' is not how you'd like to be remembered.

I've got a nickname, thankfully it has nothing to do with playing with his own ham.

tides ebb

At work, when the business will eventually pick up, the teens are leaving like migratory birds. Well, no wonder! Anyway, I was thinking about the actual "management" side of things and have some ideas on retaining quality persons for as long as possible until they go do something real with their lives. In one case, a great guy is leaving for college. I certainly wouldn't postpone that, but I would try to find a way to get him work where he's going. He's coming to my hometown. After two years with the compnay, he discovered the disparities in persons and the somewhat ambiguous promotions and salary increases and caps. For this reason, he was certainly disinclined to seek re-employment with the company at a FW branch.

He's a good man, sad to see him go. It will be great to see him accomplish his goals, even if they change from what he wants to do now.

I see things at work in terms of efficiency, and more utilization of personnel. I have also seen the too-laborsome process for inventory and cash control. While it may be the one, "best" method, it's too long and stupid to be efficient. I will submit in writing, on a time when I can/am willing to dedicate hours to inventory strategies. I still plan to seek another place, but will get at high on the ladder as I can before I go.

Thanks, honest

In respect and thanks to all those who have served, anywhere. Memorial, thankfully to those who've lived too.

Work shows

what I'll be having for a while --- crap. Since that is the case, I have to decide whether to take it or to start looking again. I'll do both, methinks.

What's red?

Blood on food .... bad idea. I cut my finger, deeply and noticed seconds after that, despite my best pressure on the wound, bloop

pitch that one.

I patched it up and then donned a glove and found a new cut activated when I did other cleaning.

Today's word was, "ouch"!

Event

Germanfest, I have off only one day a week. I'll be there on that one day.

Angry again

Well ... I'm trying to find housing closer to work -- with no success. I found one place, but at $625 for 2 bedrooms and no carport --- that's too much money. The internet is not especially helpful this time.

quick note

still don't have connection, but passed test and review getting new rank

Finals week

I lost highspeed, hopefully to reaquire it next week and I got a sinus infection. To top it off ... finals week, as it were for me as I am trying to move up in rank at work. I do the test and verbal discourse next Wednesday. I'll need all the luck I can get.

hotel stay

I got a room at a hotel -- midway between work and "home". I had some studying to do. It was both a good and bad choice. I caught a cold and feel unwilling to study and didn't need to spend the money, but ... I can leave later from here to get to work on time. I'll decide how good or bad of a decision it was later.

high-speed connection

my "sampled" one is lost to me now. In 2 weeks, I'll have another one, but until ... my visits and posts will be scattered. I tried to patch together (grimance) dial-up, but nope ... that was not working either. So ... It was dead.

I'll try to get a chance Saturday to zone and do some more work, until then ...

Hey! I was wondering if you all have any specials?

Yeah, we have a special running on pulling metal out of your face.

Yuck! So, you put enough metal in your face to deflect bullets and you do so to attract attention and expose your wonderful beauty?
That's so gross. The stereotypical mid-desert African tribespeople don't look as freakish, despite those peoples' preference for bizarre wonders like elongated necks, expanded lips and lobes, charcoal and feces impregnated tattooing aren't quite as side-showish as some of these piercing nutjobs I see.

If found dead, they could be recognized without the flesh due to the one pound of odd assortments of facial metal. There's a trend that I'd like to see vanish.

Rain, rain down on me now

Phil Collins is to blame ... well, maybe not.

The rivers are high and are going to get higher. The lowland areas are going swimming next week. I again refer to my entries regarding the poorly-named, hundred-year flood.

It holds as much water as a functional gutter.

ill-planned, ill-advised

So, when you spent $5000 on this ad campaign for new Finnish Sauna, did you really say, outloud to yourself, "ethnic cleansing"?

"Come join us now for this great ethnic cleansing" has yielded bomb and death threats, vandalism and destruction of the store. What can I say, "you're fired". Great thinking there, bucko!

But, I ...

look up, mouth closed

Was that why I was later wearing a "white" shirt?

Wayne guy ... I think he was some sort of commander

Yes, he was a general "Mad Anthony", but I don't think he was quite this tall, but was as reserved and stoic.

I left a note for you on your van. Oh, really? Yeah ... I don't think you'll have a problem finding it.

MR's favorite local restaurant

While a gas house sounds neat, the Takaoka of Japan is where MR likes to eat. They serve grilled food at the table -- display, art, food, fun. I think it holds memories for many people who've been there, some more than others.

Big Shoes

Mighty big shoes to fill are these.

Last year, Mastodons and this year ... shoes, large artistic, but not nearly as many.

Still, it's nice to see art downtown that isn't wrinkled metal.

Man in Black, revisited

Hours later ... still, no fingerprints, but my skin has finally softened and isn't leather as it was yesterday. Tip, while watching Fight Club, be sure to ("Drink your Ovaltene") watch what happens when a basic chemical (not acidic) meets flesh. While not lye, it was basic and removed layers of skin.

Fun, avoidable.

Mormon Bates

PBS did a show on Mormons, so here's my take on the "religion".

Worshiping the constant and intangible, yet mostly viewable makes sense. There are phenomena that go beyond explanation for you lack enough knowledge on why it happens, so ... you develop the best understanding of what you see, hear or in any other ways experience. So, I understand completely why early history peoples were polytheists and worships the sun and many other non-entities.

In the 19th century, there were enough developments to know that there was no 'spontaneous generation' and that infection caused illness as well as curiously unseen pathogens caused illness and death. In this same time, there were no Western culture religions practicing polytheism or polygamy. So, I guess the gross thousand or 144,000 refers not only to the polytheists (gods themselves) but also their multitudes of kin and "wives".

So, while the US is battling gay rights and gay restrictions and legal haggling of the definition of marriage -- man and woman, you have a Mormon who's trying to enter the race. Boy! If you thought Clinton or Bush were messy, wait to you see this guy. He could make inroads to Islam being that his concept of multiple wives (or so-called) would ring true with Eastern cultures and the pimps of the world pushing the women to do the work while "the man"+ "sits at home with his *@$& so hard, looking for a freak to call"++.

I'm sure the pedophiles and molesters of the US, rampant in some areas, as well as the Appalacians would rejoice with laws written by the Mormon prez legalizing marriage to children and their children and abolishing tabboo restrictions like, say ... incest.

Mit, I'm sure has some skeletons in his closet, if not the taxidermed body of some person, whose persona who now takes on or imitates. Mit ... she's a filthy whore. You know what to do with her.

So he marries her and her daughters. Doesn't this sound David Koresh-ish? He could have the branch romnedians.

pity sakes

Little Bo Peep, as I shall call her, called me again ending my hope that the ripple wouldn't come back. She wanted to talk and was full of stress ...better to dump it on someone than address it, right?

After talking, I found that she has few people to assist her, even emtions (lack of support from friends and family), hence why I'm the shoulder. She does and doesn't want more and therein is neurosis and the Florida swamp of befuddlement and confusion.

I volunteered to help Little Bo Peep to sell a few things she needed to sell. So, if you know anyone who's interested... she's got two vehicles to sell. (will be posted later)

All in all, she's out of luck, spinning her wheels, and looking for Superman to save her.

I'm not even Clark Kent, let alone Superman -- so I'm saving no one here, m'am. There's so much there like my "ex" that it's just plain friggin' scary. Need, need, need, want, want, want.

She's lost her sheep, but I'm not going around to help her find them. Somehow, I'm not feeling too bad not helping.
