work business

Steady, rock steady ... not terrible, not slow by any means. Last night -- we all got bloody noses. One fool, and by that I shall stand, said, 'Yeah, but it was nice". What a stupid, stupid man!

wing

That's all I found of what was once a bird, young and flightless. I suppose I thought of this because I saw a young girl, half-naked in short-shorts and lots of other flesh showing -- teen. I see this girl getting a lot of attention from all the wrong people.

Gee, I don't understand why guys are trying to molest me -- showing flesh and being cute. Granted, I'm not absolving the men's clear disregard to inhibitions or aggressive tendencies. She's okay for now, but I think she's walking a dangerous line. A little bird, wings not clipped, yet cannot fly ... this girl. I hope I don't see only the remnants of her, having bad experiences, namely due to poor planning and "dressing" in this case.

In comparison and contrast to her there were two ladies from work who were "going to get drunk", but were still cute. They needed some attention ... one more than the other. Man, oh man, older than the teen -- they were needin' some luvin' perhaps. Cute, sweet, and one is trashy.

For rent?

It appears that this is the place I'll get for what price I want. Hmm... back to the old drawing board.

local birds feed others

Sadly, the four robin chicks in a nest are no longer there. Two of the four were found dead. It was unlcear whether they fell in "first flight" or were victims of a cat (or the like). Anyway, two new robins are now in the area. I hope to see more little critters soon.

In referring to critters, I saw a bandit last night -- or rather an animal dressed as one. A raccoon was lurking around the backyard and stopped to look at me when I flicked on the light. It slowly walked away, still unsure.

No, I didn't get a picture through two levels of glass at night with poor lighting.

I did txt message friends and family about the lovely orange moon last night. While I was driving, the orange moon was quite visible. In town here, it was obscured and hidden by clouds and somewhat murky humidity.

Watch how "we run the shift"

I saw how the shift was ruined. What a poor performance! Busy as anything and sending people home for the day. Sure ... saves on payroll, but low morale and poor service. That's no way to really run a shift. I was happy to see the superchiefies, for they saw people run ragged and stuff really a mess from poor staffing. I wonder if they saw what I saw.

Mock Ness

Loch Nessie on film? Hasn't this been done before? I would like to see the man's bank account to know if Scotland's government is paying him to be a fool for tourism. I mean to write, bring in tourism, even if based on a lie.

Reading, or something like it

Well, I was with Monkeyjack and family last night. The dogs reverted back to naughty behaviors and were wild. Charlie wanted to play Mario Party 8, but that game, if not set correctly, can last for 97 hours. Anyway ... had fun and Charlie was looking for Wii Sports. He found "Avatar", which he 'read' and Wii Sports. At least he's associating printed words with meaning -- steps to reading.

Charlie, sleep well -- thy school's education is calling thee . . .
tick, tock, tick, tock

This Fall he begins

Bond

Casino Royale: perhaps I missed some dialogue, but there are parts that just don't make sense in this movie ... anyway, a good deal better than "Die Another Day", but overall, not so good of a movie and not a great way to continue the Bond movies. He was a ruthless Bond, to say the least.

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.
