Your Day

I apparently volunteered for overtime. What the **** is wrong with me?

I mean, it IS time and a half, plus incentive (so, for example, if I get all of my incentive, it's that as my 'base pay' and then time and a half on top of that) but seriously. I'm going in an hour early tomorrow, and I highly doubt that I'll be motivated to stay later than my scheduled shift closing.

No amount of money is worth sitting with several hundred callers in queue for hours on end while they bitch about how they waited 20 minutes to an hour to speak with an associate.

It's not that hard for me to wrap my head around. I've worked with some incredibly knowledgeable women in my travels. I'm not your typical male chauvinist.

Yes, I've created DB's before. I created a drawing tracker program for GEIS/ComEd using VB/Lisp with a MS Access DB that tracks drawing revisions, plotting, attribute data, etc., some years back that's still in place, I've been using modified versions of that same base program for other clients too. Been away from the programming end of things for a while now at my current employer since I'm needed in the advert/engineering/proposal side of things.

But yeah, keep on keepin on 'Nilla!

I thought you'd said something else at first.

Today was beautiful. Came home from school with a gorgeous friend of mine and watched a movie and both really appreciated it and had an intellectual conversation with her about it. Then, we went to the an art gallery show at my school and then to the movies and watched Side Effects, pretty good film. I'm honestly falling for this chick, it's a nice feeling

Very cool to hear. Happy for you, dude! She sounds like a keeper, for serious.

That's awesome, I can't wait to be an expert in all of this!

I've been working on my sister's tattoo design. It's supposed to be two "sea stars," as my youngest sister and other sister call each other "seastar," with an infinity symbol incorporated.

I don't want to say anything and cause a stir, because I'm hella peaceful, but one sister being all, "Design my tattoo for me for our sister and me," seems kind of frowny face. I mean, I tried to justify it to myself, like, "It's a tattoo designed by me, for BOTH of my sisters," but I still feel weirdly excluded.

SO yeah. Been working on that today, and feeling kind of bummed out. It's like, I always have to do art for everything, but I'm always kind of detached from it in a way, because it's not me that's doing whatever; it's what I draw. I feel like I'm drawing for a client instead of making something substantial for a family member. I'm just the artist; I'm not a real part of the work itself. I'm making something for other people and that's it.

Bums me out.

This pertains to the last week or so but our regular pot washer at work didn't turn up on the Friday before last and he didn't contact work but we took this as normal as Friday is payday and he sometimes got wasted on his wages and went AWOL.

However he has been the pot wash for over 15 years and by Wednesday the following week we still had no contact from him which wasn't right and I talked to the general manager to seriously look into this as he wouldn't have left it this long to make contact.

We even got a member of staff to visit his home to see what was going to no avail so we contacted his family on Thursday last week to contact the police. The police had to break down the door of his home that day to find him passed away.

We are all hoping that the first day he wasn't in work was his last but the fact that he wasn't found for 5 days is upsetting but I am glad that I pressed my concerns to management when I did as it could have been many more days before he was found.

Miss you Graham and we are working on a plaque for you above the dishwasher machine to honour you within the ****hole I work in.
