What a lousy holiday.............

Holiday?? What holiday? Yeah that was my fourth of July weekend. I did not get to go to one cookout or anything. Did not go see any fireworks either. So no grilled goodies for me. God I just love my job so much sometimes! Kids stay in school and go to college! Of course some of those high paying college degree jobs are not all they are cracked up to be either. For instance in most companies there is only room at the top for one and as you can imagine there are plenty of others that want to be in the top spot. So what are your odds? Guess it depends on how many hours you want to work and how many asses you want to kiss. That in itself though is still no sure bet that you will be noticed for effort. Plus it adds up to how many people that like you and will work with you etc.. and keep the drama to a minimum. Which we all know is everywhere. Anyways those 15 hours days are they worth the extra 10 grand a year? So yeah stay in school.

Anyways guess there was drama at work today glad I was out of there at that point. Our new store manager is enforcing the tardy policy again. Might be looking for a job soon HA! If anyone knows me you know that I will be late for my own funeral. Which in itself is not a bad thing. I dunno I think some people are just wired to be late and I am a firm believer I am one of those people. Anyhow during the meeting I guess he was like we may lose some important people but we need to weed out the problems etc. This guy just seems not to care about his employees. Just some of the comments I have heard come from his mouth leads me to believe this. So if thats how it is going to be then whatever. I work crazy hours some weeks. Work a first come home get some sleep and then back in for a third but I guess that does not count. Just because he can be up till 2 in the morning (which he is he says so) get up a few hours later and roll into work at 6 am and stay 9 or 10 hours does not mean we can all do that. I am not condoning being habitually late or anything of the sort and I know people need to be one time. Life happens sometimes though. I also know that when I am needed and when something important is going down I am there no matter the hour and I am on time and we look good. I have a great crew and they help me get it right. Again though it just does not count. I also got a call from one of my other managers this evening about when I woke up and she was telling me about one of my employees etc. So I called him left him a message he calls me back and tells me his version of the day. I don't know. It all gets old sometimes. I just management is a bit stressed lately due to some issues. I think it gets brought to the surface with us sometimes whether they mean for it to or not. It happens we are all guilty of it. Sometimes you take shit out on the wrong people.

Enough about work I spend to much time there as it is.Things in the world are irritating me. I keep seeing all the stories of all the kids kidnapped and molested. I hate that shit and unfortunatly it's a reality and I don't know why. What causes someone to want to be sexual with a little child??? I just cannot grasp this. I guess I should be thankful that I can't. It just really pisses me off. Seriously are these people wired different or were their childhoods really that bad? There are many people in this world that have suffered horrible childhoods, abuse you name it they turned out okay and crusaders. Who knows what really is wrong with child molesters and what makes them tick. It's just a sad terrible thing and people wonder why I don't want to have kids. I know that the chances of that happening are rare but I would not want to be that rare case and have my child kidnapped and God know what else. It's a scary world out there. I know it always has been but lately it just seems worse to me.

Today I got off work at like 8:45 am came home and I crashed hard. Slept till about 4 got up had some dinner and just chilled out. Then I decided to clean the bathroom and I gave my 2 labs a bath. I did not bother with my boxer-rot mix because well you try dragging a 95 pound dog into the bathroom then picking her up against her will mind you and put her in the tub. Then you have to keep her in the tub all the while trying to soap her up and rinse her off.The labs go willingly and they are cool with the whole bath process for about the first 5 mins then they get antsy. Still easier than my Rot mix. I do think that she believes she will melt if she gets wet. She will not even go outside to pee if it is raining she will hold it till she cannot stand it than run out to the bottom of the steps do her thing then run right back in. Anyways 2 out of 3 is not bad.

Anyways I hope everyone had a good safe and fun holiday and I hope you all remembered the true reason for the holiday itself. So until next time kids "Say a prayer for all the ones who are not afraid to walk the line and defend our freedom and for the ones who did just that and lost their lives in the process"
