More cut marks

I have a few more, new, cut marks to add to the line of sores and "what's that there" when people see my arms, legs, and other parts. I rarely got marks while teaching, but usually came home smelling of sweat -- all schools were off in temp and my hands would be rainbowed with markers and highlighters and pens. The graphite and chalk came off fairly well.

Now, I come home with a sweaty tinge, that work smell, cigarettes (from smokers at work) and regional smells -- RR by place, chemicals at work, and (if you have a good sense of smell) the lake water.

I'd kinda like to smell, through due course of closeness, like a stunning woman at work. She's sweet, mouthwatering, but ... I don't stand a chance. I'm wildcat and she MLB.

She spoke a bit about what she did before coming to the company. It seems to me that she could make more money doing the office stuff she was doing before.

MR will hate my reference to her, but Sheryl Crow's "First Cut is the Deepest" rolls in my head about her. It's a "Crush" and sadly not a "Sex Type Thing".

gettin' 'ger on you

I tend to 'ger, in a modest fashion, almost like I had while teaching ... "Excuse me, but do you have any grey poupon?" "But of course", the enlisted person returns. I have been able to lightly ask and get reasonable results. I also think my pitching in and doing -- matters. I'll do, instead of waiting for a "free body" to do a simple task. Other 'gers just don't seem to want to do that. When teaching ... it was all me, solo, flying on ideas, plans, and an encyclopedia mind that could shift with needed and unpredicted turns.

This here job -- mostly, make it, do it, repeat. There is a comaraderie with the lowers and "grunts" that the 'gers might have. I still fall back on the "good ol' boys club" with the sexist and racist remarks win the wind, aka their voices. I find it disturbing at times. Most often, it's light banter, to keep up chatter and specifically generated to people who can take it and dish it out.

I wonder what the younger people there, teens too, think of the rather appauling, course, and sometimes graphic statements and inuendos. Probably ... "cripes ... those people are sickos", maybe.

Legit or not, a complaint

Too often do I see 'gers of "distinction" idly watching while others work. I understand that they are making observations, but good golly! I think they are, too often, idle or stopped. I think stopped and engine off, not idling at all.

Hey there 'ger ... you plan on doing something or just making the best wall you can between where I am and where I need to be? It lends itself to a perspective of, "those who can't/won't, command". I think therein is an oversight some 'gers are not understanding and not seeing. Folly in command.

It was an androgenous day ... oh, wait, I mean ambiguous

Overall -- okay day, but shifting turning business made for weirdness. I think that some people were "Jonesin'" to get the blank out of there today. Sometimes people are, well, course in their statements.

Thankfully I was teased a bit, so I know that I wasn't too brash with anyone.
