2510 dream

Sep. 14, 2004


I was on a planet where the males lived in high tech splendor and the
females were used to grub in the dirt and make babies. Apparently I
was to be exterminated because I could not make babies. The other
females dug up various high tech gadgets they'd hidden in their
gardens & helped me escape to the male alien enclave on Earth--the
Luxor in Las Vegas. I crashed a meeting of the aliens, and Thax was
in there. He recognized me, so I ran away, found a hotel room where
there were 2 housekeeping staff uniforms. A small & a medium. I put
the medium one on. It did not have to fit perfectly, just enough to
give me the ability to convince people I was housekeeping staff. I
had a blue glass nugget on a black choker necklace that was
apparently some kind of high-tech device that did mind control. I
found an employee meeting room, which had a 'loyalty tester' device
that you put your hand on. I saw that a meeting had just ended, so I
followed some young black women to the kitchens, where I started
scrubbing a grill. One of the girls looked closely at me and I used
my glass bead to convince her I was an old friend from high school.
Something like touch the nugget and then said "Don't you recognize
me, girlfriend?" and then she supplied the rest of the information I
needed to imitate her friend & convince her I'd just started working
at the Luxor that day.

Then I woke up.

2511new procedure at work

Sep. 14, 2004


1) we must check every page in the scan queue (should have been doing
this all along, IMHO)
2) we must number our separator sheets & bundle our processed cases
accordingly (ie: 1-25,) then rubberband them up and put them over in
the scanning area so that the clerical staff can double check their
workand make sure that if they scan 25 sep. sheets , 25 cases show up
in their system.

This is basically the fucking clerical staff fucking up yet again,
and not taking the hit for it. Every goddamn time the dept. managers
run across problems and ask the clerical staff, they whine and fuss
and point at us and tell everyone it's all our fault. So basically we
are adding a couple of steps to our process so as to be involved in
hand-holding for the clerical folks. Peeves me. Their supervisor is
absolutely no help, she totally backs up their assertions that it's
not THEM it's US. I admire a supervisor who has the tits to stand up
for her people against higher management, and go to bat for them, but
sometimes it *IS* your people fucking shit up and you need to lay the
smackdown!

2512icq w/A

Sep. 14, 2004


evile: howdy :)
SkyeDS: mornin :)
SkyeDS: I'm at a loss as exactly what words to search on to find
private facilities for events
evile: *nod*
evile: I occasionally drive on a backroad and see some sign that
says 'have your event here'...but never write down any contact info.
SkyeDS: no reason for you to
evile: other than it does come up in conversations w/ HFS, poly,
pagan event planning folks.
SkyeDS: but you have better sense than to involve yourself in
planning :)
evile: or something.
SkyeDS: Paulie made it over to Connie's this morning and was having a
good time with his new pack
SkyeDS: he's a pretty little thing
evile: He is a sweet dog.
evile: I'm glad he is getting along with the others :)
SkyeDS: he's still very depressed though
SkyeDS: he looks to be some mix of either Aussie or Sheltie, and
Welsh border
SkyeDS: very loyal
evile: *nod* It will probably take him a while to settle in.
evile: It helps that there are other dogs around.
evile: I'm ready for my nap! Goodie days always do this to me. You'd
think i'd learn...
SkyeDS: I would be so happy to work from home
evile: I wouldn't get anything done. Unfo I just dont' have the
discipline.
evile: Have you heard anything back from the Rockdale chamber, btw?
SkyeDS: matter of fact, no
evile: interesting.
SkyeDS: I may go in early one morning to pay dues and see if anyone
says a word
evile: *nod*
evile: work is annoying me today, but at least it's passing quickly.
Can't wait for tonight--Siouxie! & Rio's coming up again :)
SkyeDS: :)
evile: I will definitely need a nap after work.
evile: I can't stay up late like I used to :P
evile: the IKP is looking interesting. I bet people will fuss too
much over the $30, though.
SkyeDS: oh hell yeah
SkyeDS: sineater wants to know if he can call your cell phone
SkyeDS: he has no IM access from Dell
evile: I don't have good signal, but he's more than welcome to try...
SkyeDS: vas ist number again?
evile: 698 2855
SkyeDS: he'll try in a few minutes
evile: ok
SkyeDS: I suspect that Connie probably will want help with t he
initial vet visit
evile: ok, no prob
evile: good little talk w/sineater. sounds like Paulie is as skitzy as he
ever was.
SkyeDS: nods
SkyeDS: made him a little frantic last night & this morning
evile: The only time I've seen him totally comfortable was when [brother A]
brought him, [The Rubber Pig] & the girls up to visit Lynn & Bob.
SkyeDS: I will go see him often, he's sweet
evile: He is a sweet dog.
SkyeDS: I'm going to make the CRW VIII Crat a list of central
fairgrounds
evile: Sweetie doesn't trust Paulie because of his skitzyness. Worries
that he's going to snap someday and bite someone. Hasnt done it
yet...and he's been in a lot of stressful, threatening situations
that I would think would trigger that behavior if he had it in him at
all.
SkyeDS: since it was a county fairground that they loved so much in
the first place
SkyeDS: well, I told sineater last night
SkyeDS: we'll put food out
SkyeDS: Connie will put food out
evile: I do NOT buy the 'paulie herding [The Rubber Pig]' into the corner' story
one damned minute, btw. Let alone the implied 'he made me miscarry'
bit.
SkyeDS: our shed has no doors on it
SkyeDS: he'll be fine
evile: *nod* I know. He did fine in New Mexico with much less.
SkyeDS: so, did she "miscarry"?
evile: Not yet. it was another bleeding scare.
SkyeDS: otherwise known as a period....
evile: what. ever. I don't care.
evile: it's the best possible outcome of this whole ungodly mess.
That and/or her kicking [brother A] to the curb.
evile: I am going with the assumption that the 'pregnancy' is a total
fake, anyway.
evile: When Chicken Little and the Boy Who Cried Wolf get married, ya
know? Eventually nobody is going to listen to all of their drama-
mongering.
SkyeDS: nope
evile: Oh well. [brother A] is a grownup. it's his life. I am just not going
to think about it.
SkyeDS: I wouldn't give Arthur or the girls up for any reason
SkyeDS: I don't care if I were quadriplegic
evile: nope.
SkyeDS: we'd just have to make a saddle out of a wheelchair with some
straps.
SkyeDS: and one with a perch
SkyeDS: even if I had to live in a tent
evile: now there's a mental picture...
SkyeDS: :P
evile: I'm with you though...the animals are not negotiable. They are
part of my life in a bigger way than any other human. I see them as
my gifts from God/dess, given to me for the span of their lives. They
are my responsibility for life.
SkyeDS: Larry, the very cute manager of Half Price on Guad, with the
silver hair and gray eyes, I told you about his bird.
SkyeDS: exactly, and they are the only tangible evidence I have that
I must have done something right, in this lifetime or some other.
evile: *smile*
SkyeDS: there is yet another new trailer out on the white trash place
evile: oh, lord.
SkyeDS: I keep telling sineater and Wayne, kerosene and matches, boys
evile: *sigh* i wish it was that easy...
SkyeDS: I've got a lot of brush to burn a nd so does Wayne, I told
him we ought to burn at t he same time from two different directions
so that they get smoked no matter what way the wind blows
evile: that would be fun :)
SkyeDS: Connie's planning on calling the health department yet again
SkyeDS: am letting her do it because she's on f irst name basis with
them by now
evile: What a hassle! But, yeah...hopefully when they hear enough
from one person, something will get done.
SkyeDS: last time the HD didn't do squat until the tank actually
overflowed onto someone else's property
evile: oh, nasty!
evile: ugh. Just found a LJ comment from Terri H. Her LJ comments are
often self-aggrandizing to an irritating degree. I did NOT ask "who
is NOT going to this?" I asked if anyone WAS. *grump*
SkyeDS: lol
evile: Oh well. I'm not going if I dont' know at least 1 other person
who is going.
evile: And at this point I'm both pathetically lonely & 'rich' enough
to pay someone's way if it means I don't have to go alone. (it would
have to be the right someone, however. I'm not quite to the point of
desperation where any old body will do)
SkyeDS: I could easily name at least one person both more pathetic
and more lonely than you :P
evile: um, I'm pretty sure I would not care to spend a weekend in
that person's company.
SkyeDS: and apparently neither does anyone else :P
evile: too bad, eh?
SkyeDS: I'm easily amused
evile: better than being easily bored, I suppose ;)
evile: There's a poly campout that same weekend, but the organizer of
it is a guy who gave me icky creepy vibes when I met him, so I don't
really wanna go, even if a few of my friends are.
SkyeDS: that zodiac quiz is pretty good
evile: I liked it :)
evile: Looks like time to throw paper & go for me.
evile: Icky out, be careful driving home.
*hugs*
SkyeDS: be careful, wet weather
SkyeDS: hugs :)
evile: sharing a brain cell again...
evile: *hugs*
