Iceman! Hope you feel better soon. I hate it when employers treat people that way - you can't help it if your tonsils decided to get infected.

Adults who act like children.

I'm managing my new soccer team. We can have 16 players. I had 28 people interested. I told them that the first 16 to turn their money in, got a spot on the team. The money was due last Friday.

16 people followed through.

The rest are finally coming around now, and don't understand why they can't play.

grow up. if you want to do something, then take the incentive and do it.

Torgy just called me. His uncle passed away this morning. I don't know too many details yet, but I'm sure this is going to make it more interesting with him trying to get ready for his trip out here in 16 days.

everything should be ok - time will tell

I havn't been able to get this feeling from my heart to let up for a long time now - my sister gave us all a good scare -just not exactly the way I expected my morning to go -

-Im headed to Becks for some company

in better news: found the diamond earing that whitney lost in the yard AND Sarah got accepted into a Home Interior behind the scenes program at the Mall of America in July. I got interviewed by the History Detectives, who were in town on some documentary that included me talking about Jack, the ghost in Landmark. Got to talk with Paul Macabee, who wrote John Dillanger Slept Here.

Can you believe that Texas is so stupid to have their graduation ON Memorial Day!! It really chaps my ass...I like to be with my family and all, but graduation on a national holiday? Who does Texas think they are, anyway?

My bro said the same thing when the cities soccer leagues scheduled a huge tournament for Mother's Day this year. Everyone was pissed I guess. I can't blame them. They couldn't make it to either mom on that day. Sad.

Kinda like when Pennys cousin decided to get married over the 4 July weekend. Then her uncle was mad that we didn't show up. We were with the rest of the family up north!

(He had no right to be mad either, he didn't come to our wedding)

find out what the penalty for lost records with the goverment for banks are - and then write a complaint letter and CC them.

The goverment loves compliance, and recordkeeping - there is bound to be some huge fine out there for the bank if they can't dig it up. good way to light a fire under their butts.

bitchy women who are negative n shoot down an idea cause a) they didnt thinkof it. b) its outside the norm and creative c) its by new members trying to step up and be involved.

3 of my new girls pitched an idea for end of summer beer olympics. many of the older seasoned members gave them a ton o crap. unwarented crap.

stood up n defended them and turned the tables on the older members and they sorta tucked tail. but im really sick of their attitude n "their way"

Kitch, so very sorry to hear you're under such pressure right now.

Your words reminded me of a "test" I got by e-mail recently. So typical of corporate mentality. I'll post it here - see if any of it sounds familiar:

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and

will tell you whether you are qualified to be

classified as a smart person. Scroll down for each

answer. The questions are NOT that difficult. But

don't scroll down UNTIL you have answered the

question!

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in

the giraffe, and close the door. This question tests

whether you tend to do simple things in an overly

complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the

elephant, and close the refrigerator?

Wrong Answer.

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the

giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This

tests your ability to think through the repercussions

of your previous actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All

the animals attend....except one. Which animal does

not attend?

Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the

refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests

your memory.

Okay, even if you did not answer the first three

questions correctly, you still have one more chance to

show your true abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by

crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you

manage it?

Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim

across. Have you not been listening? All the

crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This

tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

Heh, yeah I love those emails that berate your intelligence with a logic trap.

Also irritated that another employee got a compliment from the boss, forwarded to everyone here so we can sing her praises too I suppose. So much for all that extra effort I put into getting this place off the ground huh?

Argh.. this is the second day in the row I came to work with a positive attitude, only to be sounding like a chronic complainer after a half a day of work. Just gotta keep reminding myself it could be worse.

Hey KC.

When I move there - can I get a job at your company? It sounds like people who don't do diddle get rewarded and put on the fast track to praise.

I don't do diddle very well. infact, it's prolly the best skill I have in the job market. I'm sure to be an ace at it for your boss. :smile: :smile:

sorry you are having such a tough day.
