Top of the charts, gossip down

I am in a position to hear some gossip ... I wish there were none, but that isn't the case. Ever lurking ... the signs, hints and allegations. A phrase four generations from the beginning ...
"JoBeth eats fire with envy."
Uh ... did you embelish anything on the story you got?
Maybe.

and now a moment to make plans

Ah ... I saw this lovely woman again today. She works there, but I must ask her if she is married. It seems to me that she might be ... alas for me if she is. The code prohibits jewelry, hence ... no sign of marriage.

I thought about her and I thought about one other woman who tenderly melted my heart once. Even married, I chatted with her -- transported to high school with friendly chats and little hearts when our eyes met. It wasn't to be, for she had married and that was that. She had gained weight, and found her equally attractive -- I guess I wasn't looking at her per se, but of hope, dream, or some deep romantic thing I won't bother to cover here.

I guess it's springtime and my heart is aching, but I'll settle right now for playful sexual banter, as I had today with another woman.

Pay my bills!

There's a radio station that will select a random person and pay that person's utility bill, if, the person submits the bill and responds to the station selecting him/her within ten minutes. There was a completely stupid woman who called wanting the bill to be paid, but hadn't faxed it. She didn't have a fax, she didn't work, but wanted her minutes (obviously a cell phone) paid as well as a bill. Now, let me get this straight:

You don't have a job, you're on a cell phone, and you plan to drive over to the station tomorrow to drop off a bill?

I suggest a good smack on the head.

FW doesn't like me

I reviewed the survey for Mc

Indianapolis

Man! I just can't win! I can't find anything within FW, dog gone it!

apprehensive

I got a survey from Mc ... I have yet to complete it. I will do so today and send it off. I got good rest last night, I hope that my mind is rested too.

Books resting

I have a manual that rests right now. I need to spend about two hours on it sometime to finish a few things, then review and prepare for a class then a test that will happen -- sometimes, maybe in May. The area M was there yesterday, after the company person came through to inspect the facility -- cleanliness, adherance to policy, yadda, yadda, yadda.

At one time, the area M had a (required to be professionally done) sign for the place. He, however, held it like a phallis of 25'. One wonders, really, how such a guy holds the job that he does, then I remember that he's flat -- never having held any other job. He had never worked for any other company. That, my friends, makes a person a little looney.

The GM remarked to me in what ways the area M is good, but candidly remarked that he felt the area M lacked some professionalism. "Hey, Dawg", the area chatted on the phone, might be an example of this.

Anyway ... should get back to bookwork. Homework isn't just for school.

I also put my foot in my mouth and am buying a phone for work today. Let's hope that it wasn't an error to speak of it. I will be compensated if it dies. Oh, uh ... I mean, they will re-imburse me.

Dorkis

I was "stationed" as it were in an area with which I have little practical experience. Well, trial by fire, I'm there. At one point, I asked, "What do you use?" I got no response. Again I asked ... nothing. I randomly pulled up something, "do you use this?" "No."

Apparently some methods of training require you to guess, make mistakes and be called out on them, much like "Office Space", where showing initiitve is punished. The GM is better, but the lowers are, well ... one in particular has an unkind streak that lies just below a young face.

I am an old fart in relation to many others there. The other M's there are twenties. The GM is older than I am. I am learning to cope with the many inconsistencies, thinking to myself how I would like to have my own place to run it differently in many respects.
