During the first hour of my shift yesterday, my cell phone, buzzed twice. I was able to check it out at my break and found that my employer had left a message on my voicemail.
No, it wasn't a vm pinkslip, yea, went through my mind.
Apparently, my daughter has an interview on Wednesday with my employer. Damn, I wouldn't wish this place on anyone....
I wouldn't want to be them if they mess around with my daughter. Not because of her but because of me. The damage I can do before leaving would not be worth it for them....

Wonder...
Ever have a letter you want to write but you sorta worry about how it will be taken?
It has been over eight months since my yearly review at work and still has not been addressed concerning its accuracy...
I approached HR in May as the managers in charge of my team and me, are a couple of self serving asses who only provide assistance and promotions to those that kiss ass. I kiss no ones ass for any reason and so I have been provided with a review that des not even show how I do my job, just the attitudes of the people above me...
Anyway, the person in charge of our building is going to be having some meetings with some focus groups to see what they can do about morale and try to keep more people from leaving the company. It seems they are having difficulty filling the seats here.
I know that I will not be invited to one of these meetings merely for the fact that I would tell them how it is with no sugar or icing...
But, I have to get some closure on the treatment of me if not the way management seems to think they are doing a good job running the place. Don't get me wrong, there are a number of good managers but the bad ones are negating anything the good ones are doing...
Got to get it written, l8tr...

Visitors?
If the extreme tracking is to be believed, I am the only one visiting my own blog...
And what is most annoying is that I open the view blog link in a second tab so I can see it be fore closing the browser and make changes if needed, but that winds up giving me another hit by me...
At least my Wordpress account seems to function correctly...
Here it is October and we have already had some snow, not near as much as our neighbors to the south but snow all the same. We are now in for a full weekend of rain, again...
Anyway, I have some laundry to get to and then I have to get a new bumbershoot as well as shoes/boots for the winter..
Have a great weekend!

What the....
It was a downpour yesterday morning and, as usual, I was walking to work.
I can't believe the number of the motoring public that are so absolutely selfcentered, self involved that they don't see the pedestrians. They don't know how to look out for their fellow human beings. I had to keep an eye open for vehicles coming up from behind me so that if they hit certain puddles on the road, I wouldn't get drenched.
Even at corners, the number of motorists that felt they had to be faster and first in front of the guy standing on the corner with a small umbrella trying to stay dry.
Absolutely amazing, the selfishness of so many people...

Early...
Getting up this early for work really, really, sucks...
There has to be a particular timeframe between me and my son getting up. It all comes down to the use of hot water. If time is too close then the hot water tank doesn't have enough time to recover. Either I would have to put up with a half cold shower or listen to him complain about it...
It would probably be one big bitch-fest if my daughter was living here too...
So far, my return to work has been rather uneventful other than a whole lot of "we missed you". I think the missed was because I can now take my share of the workload back from my team mates although there are more than enough of them to take the few cases I would have handled...
Anyway, I'll cut it off there for now, have a great humpday...

Yea...
First day back to work and I did not get much done. All of my tools had password resets and a couple of them worked for a bit but had to be reset again. One of them should be functional today. And the main tool we use, the phone, did not work for almost two and a half hours into my shift. Made for an easy day.
The one call I did get came from the clients corporate office. I offered to replace the defective unit a second time for him which he accepted. He called back in about 5 minutes later and started demanding a refund or a "new" unit. He even asked if he needed to talk to my supervisor. I had to remind him that he had called the corporate office to get to me but that I would be with him until the issue was resolved meaning that I was the only person he had to talk to until then.
Some people don't seem to be able to think how they managed to get to us and what is considered the final answer.
Anyway have a great day.

Just some stuff...
I have moved my tomato planters indoors because of the frost possibility we had last week and I managed to get a single, one only, tomato off of them so far. With a little luck I'll get a few more but I don't hold out hope to keep them alive for very long. I also moved the hanging baskets of plants in too and they seem happier about it as evidenced in the number of new blooms.
The rose bush that we put in this summer seems to have forgotten what time it is and has actually put out two more blooms this week, can't figure out why.
Got a couple of pictures of a really interesting view of the sky to the west of my place. I spotted it when I was taking my dog out one night.
I'll leave you with that for now, have to get ready to spend some time over at the ol' lady's place with two of the kids.
Have a great Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving...
I have a bit of trouble with this whole concept.
Thanks for my life? I was adopted at just over a year of age. Apparently my birth parents had no use for me... My adoptive parents seemed to enjoy beating the shit out of me. I guess that could be considered a use...
Two of my kids seem to think they have no use for me and think of me as knowing a shit load less about life and how the world turns than they do. No use for me there...
The wife decided that I was more of a pain than her time was worth so the separation has been for 5 and a half years so far. No use there...
My neighbors have been trying to get rid of me from the day I moved on to this street 18 years ago. I a way I am useful in that I provide them with a distraction from the real world and real issues...
My employers only find me useful in some very limited ways. Management doesn't want me there except to buck up the over all site stats. No way they would allow me to move up the ladder as they would have to compete with my no bullshit ways. A bit of a use for me here as a "whore".
There are two entities that do appreciate me though, my daughter and my dog. My daughter will spend money and time with me just because she can and the dog, more or less, relies on me for all of his needs, however that won't be a whole lot longer. He is 13 years old now.
I guess I am thankful for a couple of things but it would take too long to complain about all of the things I really want to.
I hope all have a great thanksgiving weekend and have a crapload more to be thankful for.

Kids...
These things are the pride of your life when they first come into the world. Often enough, they make you absolutely the proudest people on the earth and then there are other times....
The little guy, who will be 18 in March 2007, is the biggest , most self centered, self involved slobs I know. The only times this kid does anything to help out around the house or for me at all, I have to tell him what to do. Even with telling him what needs to be done, I still have to remind him constantly and then wind up doing it myself.
When his older brother was living with us as well, I gave up trying to keep ahead of the friggin mess that these two created. Found out the hard way that only one of them can make the same mess as when both were here.
I have been asking him for well over a year to clear his room(clean or merely arrange) so that I can move the things from the second actual bedroom in there, finish the second bedroom, I have been mid-renovation for over a year at this point, and them move him into a freshly renovated room. At this point I have just about completed the cleaning of his room.
I will have to remind him that as soon as school is out next spring, he had better have arranged some sort of living arrangement somewhere other than in my house. I have had just about all I can take of his slovenly ways.
I'll work up the rant about my daughter another time.

Kewl, I think...
For the first day in over a month, I don't have an appointment. However, not only do I expect to have a recurrence in a couple of months but so do the nurses that have been attending to my wound. We will see. Can you say "malpractice lawsuit"?
On Monday I go back to work and start my new shift. It's only a half hour earlier than it was nut still a change.
I know that a few of my coworkers missed my presence but I do know that management would prefer that I didn't return, they will still have to address the issues they have created.
I'll go into that another time.
For now, I intend to relax for a couple of days

Not cheap...
Got my latest prescription filled to the tune of $105. Is it me or are prices of these get more than a little out of hand?
I just put together my reimbursement submission for prescripts for this summer and so far it comes to $332. Thank Christ I get 80% back on the company health plan. Not a bad plan, I get 66% of my normal income for the time I have been off too. Not a lot but definitely better than a lot of people get.
I have my last homecare visit today too. I know I said it was yesterday but she had too much on her plate so we put it off for today, it is only for my discharge anyway. She still feels that I will have the same problem again in a couple of months but they really can't contradict the doctors, they are all knowing...
That's about it for today...

Fixed?...
So, the surgeon says that the hole in my back is just short of completely healed. He has issued a note to tell the nurses that they are no longer needed. He says to leave it alone and if I have any problems with it down the road, give his office a call.
I truly don't believe this is the end of it but he is the doctor. Far too many people have been boggled by his non-concern and odd methods but I guess we'll see.
I have my last nurse visit today re:note above and will be returning to work on Monday if I can get my GP to fill out the paper work to that end.
Great news for a Tuesday, right?

Late..
This is a really late post because of all of the crap I had to take care of today.
I have an appointment with the surgeon again tomorrow and by all indications, he will be opening my back up again.
Wish me luck, it could mean another month from work, yay!

Assholes!!...
If you have been following this blog for any time, you may be aware of the issues I had with the furnace guys.
The same guy has been called by my landlord to service the furnace for well over a year now. He was to clean and certify it for use as we needed to get a new tank and have the chimney lined before I could order oil for this winter.
I tried firing up the fucking thing and guess what, the fucking thing does not function, again!
If anyone reading this lives in this area, spread the word that they do not want to do any business at all with "Earl Rosebush Fuels"! He is the biggest fucking asshole on the fucking planet. I will be demanding that my landlord get someone else in to get the furnace working or I will and take it from the rent.
This has gotten beyond anything close to fucking acceptable.
Yes, I am pissed more than I can actually communicate effectively.

Ignorance...
I'm not sure about where others who may read this thing live, but here, we have laws about not parking on sidewalks.
I went to friends place and on from there to get coffee. We passed a construction site where they are building a new seniors home, looks more like a big ass school but that is another rant. The different companies have a good number of workers there but for some reason they did not account for a reasonable amount of space between the building and the roadway in front. The setback looks to be only about 25/30 feet.
Anyway, there were three vehicles parked right on the sidewalk and on our way back, a fourth vehicle was backing onto the same sidewalk, providing us with a less than patient look because we refused to move off of the sidewalk to accommodate his parking.
This was more informational than a rant but the ass that pulled out of a side street was the one that really pissed me off.
He pulled out so that we could not pass out in front of his vehicle and had to either wait for him to move on or walk behind the car. These are the kind of guys that I would like to pull out of their cars and beat them profusely. Especially if it's raining. They are in a nice warm dry car and they seem to feel they have a right that they, in fact, do not.
I kinda got even with one guy. I was coming up on a corner and actually heard the car approaching the corner from behind at a high speed. I didn't even make out that I heard him and crossed the street in front of the person. Whoever it was really had to climb on the binders to keep from hitting me.
Just one more note here, I don't mind "giving" up the right of way that I hold but I'll be damned if you going to "take" it from me without a fight of some sort...

hhmmm.....
Not sure what happened but my tomato plants have not produced this year...
I decided to put tomato plants in a couple of 2 foot clay pots on my front porch. I put 6 plants in each pot and watered them daily for most of the summer.
Don't get me wrong, they grew in a big way bit talk about late producing fruit. These things are almost 5 feet tall and there is now a fair bit of small tomatoes on the plants but I am not going to be getting more than 1 or 2 that I can keep or are useful for anything except garbage.
Wish me luck, I'm going to try bringing them inside for the winter. I don't think they are going to get enough sunlight or whatever but with a little luck, mine is mostly bad, I'll be able to get a little more out of them.

It has to be blogger....
I still think blogger is crapping on me. I could not log in for love nor money this morning although I really didn't try either of those options.
Got two Doctor appointments for next week, one with the surgeon on Monday to see if he needs to open it again and the other on Tuesday with my GP to update the paper work required for work.
Way too much fun...

Harassment...
I think I'm going to have to call one number back very soon.
Bell ExpressVu pissed me off a couple of years ago. Every single bill I received from them was different. It was as if they could not make up their minds just how much to charge for the questionable service they were providing.
Two years ago this December, I decided that they were getting no more money from me. Since then, they have been trying to collect about $150. They would also change the options in the package deal I had without warning or compensation or anything noting that they had that right according to their contract. Absolute bullshit as far as I am concerned.
Anyway, They have continued to make calls to me at least once a day for the past two years, leaving messages on my voicemail. As per the process, I have refused to return any of those calls. These calls would arrive as many as three times a day and even on Saturdays. I didn't care. It is easy enough to delete the messages.
However, I think they have now breached the proper collection process. For about a month now, I have been receiving these calls on Sundays. Is this allowed? I don't think so. I am going to wait one more week and if it happens next weekend I am going to be calling the number with a threat of a lawsuit for harassment, and for a shit load more than the amount that I owed them.
There are laws and I'll be damned if I'm the only one that has to adhere...

Amazing...
Looks like the next big multinational scandal is with HP.
I was actually amazed at first when, after the whole thing blew up in her face, the chairman(what happened to "chairperson"?) noted that she was going to resign from the chair but remain on the board until January.
Now it seems that she is jumping ship entirely, more what I thought would and should have happened.
Maybe TV has provided me with a skewed perspective but the CEO and the chairperson claim not to have known how the investigators were to get the information they did. Did they think it would just materialize out of thin air?. Did they think the culprits would be giving themselves up freely to be removed from a very lucrative position?
As far as I am concerned, HP should go back to the way it was. They actually gave a shit about the customers and the people who worked for them. I don't see it now...
Just, once again, my point of view...

As far as I am concerned, HP should go back to the way it was. They actually gave a shit about the customers and the people who worked for them. I don't see it now...
Just, once again, my point of view...

Not bad...
It hasn't been a bad day, I guess...
Still don't know when I am supposed to have my next surgery.
I don't know if it's me or not but there doesn't seem to be much urgency with my doctors in reference to me.
Great day for a walk and a coffee and pretty much did nothing else.
Hope the weekend is good for all

A few interesting pics
I hate when I hit the enter key after typing in my heading and then having to go back to edit so I can enter the body....
Thought I would throw in a few interesting pics as I am really not in the mood to post this morning...

Another day...
Another day, another pain in the ass...
I was finally able to get hold of my surgeon's receptionist/nurse who told me that they had me booked for October 3 rd for reopening the hole in my back. After telling her what my nurse thought about the status, she decided that she wanted to talk to my nurse. It seems that after talking to her, the receptionist/nurse was to contact me with a new time for the repeat surgery but did not. Guess I'm going to have to get a little more insistent.
I don't care so much about the mistake and don't care if he even admits the mistake, just fix the damn thing!
Furnace oil isn't going to be too bad to start with this year, $750 to fill my tank from empty, I can live with it...
I'll leave it at that for now...
I know, this all seems boring fight now but it is my life. I will produce better posts when I can think of other things after this mess has been cleaned up.

Did I ever tell ya?...
Did I ever tell ya I hate Doctors, stairs, assholes, etc? The list is far too long to put down here...
How about all the different get slim/lose weight programs?
How about all of the damnable solicitation calls?
How about calls from charities looking for donations of money, clothing etc?
How about "religions"? For the people my ass!
Telephone companies?
Satellite TV companies, sometimes the same as telephone?
How about neighbors that think they are better than you?
How about neighbors that think they can decide how you live?
I better stop now, looks like it could get into a major rant.
Have a great humpday!

Expected...
As expected, the hole in my back is healing from the outside and not the inside. This is not a good sign.
I'm waiting for a call from the surgeons office for an appointment to see what he intends to do about the situation. I'm really not looking forward to this at all...
It's raining again which makes for a dreary day, really not helping the mood either...
I'm gonna keep it sort today, hope yours is better than mine...

Graffiti Monday 48, and other crap...
For a mid-September day, yesterday was extremely nice.
You know the movies that show neighborhoods that have a lot of people in a multitude of activities?
It was so weird because that is exactly what I saw yesterday when walking from my daughters place back to my place.
One lady was getting her two kids ready for a walk with a stroller, on the next block, two guys were working on the wheel of a car, across the road another guy was repairing his fence, at the cross street there were at least four couples/groups walking up and down the street, on the next block a lady was in the front yard playing with her three kids and a dog as well as the lady from across the street coming over to join the merriment, two other guy were sitting in and leaning on a car drinking brews and talking ...
I have never seen this much spontaneous activity in a neighborhood in a long time. It was as if there was a blackout and there was nothing else to do...
Really quite odd but somehow refreshing to see that it actually does take place..
Almost forgot, Happy Graffiti Monday !

Spoiled...
Funny how one professional can spoil you for any others.
My regular Nurse does her job efficiently, properly and with a good deal of personability (is that even a word?)
I actually wait for her to come in and work on the hole in my back because I know she has genuine concern about my condition and the necessity of being through so that I have as little problem with the healing process.
The second nurse I had, way back when, just barely wet down the wound, didn't clean the inside or much of anything else. I requested that she not return which they have acted on.
Yesterday, I had another nurse, mine has to have some time off, seemed to be pretty much a ditzy broad. Her first question was, "What am I supposed to be doing here?" OK, your the nurse, you don't know?...
I allowed for some miscommunication and the fact that she may have been really tired. She did say that I was the 13th visit yesterday and she had a couple of parties that she had to get to after work, one for a kid.
Another clue to the ditzy was the fact that she apparently left her blood pressure cuff and stethoscope somewhere and wasn't quite sure where.
Lets see how it goes today and see if it was a one off.
Have a great day peeps!

My opinion...
Remembering catastrophe's such as 9/11, tsunami's, hurricanes, twisters, to me is really quite stupid.
One killing rampage that took place in a school in Quebec so many years ago didn't stop the latest attack from happening...
How does the saying go, "If you don't remember the bad things, history will repeat itself!"
Seems to me that no matter how much remembering happens, these atrocities repeat themselves anyway...
I think the statement was created to show the insight that one person had, cute but extremely unrealistic...
Just this guys opinion...

Is it me?...
Or is it blogger? I couldn't log in using any browser this morning, talk about pissed off.
Anyway, had my reassessment by the nurse today and she has added another week before the next one. That would be on the 29th. Now I have to figure out how to get it added to the leave of absence from work, that way I get paid....
There was another school shooting, in Montreal this time. Funny but we had an incident that was similar in this city yesterday.
Some kid was a little miffed, got into some sort of scuffle on a bus and shot another student with a BB gun.
My kid said, "It was just a BB gun!" Of course he and his friends have shot at each other with them, not that I approve but there isn't much I can do unless I am with him 24/7.
Just something to think about...

sweet...
Finally got the paperwork and it looks clear to the 25th so far.
The doctor finally showed a little concern over my yo-yoing blood pressure but I think its because the nurse that comes in daily takes it and keeps me apprised otherwise nothing would have been done. Mind you, the only thing he is doing is doubling my prescription, none of the people I know, and a lot of them are nurses, believe that this is the fix. I guess we'll see.
He also decided to look at the hole in my back. His spin on it, "Great, looks good!". Funny but the nurse says that there has been no change to the inside where it is supposed to be healing and the depth hasn't changed either. Friggin doctor thinks he can tell more in a split second, cursory glance than someone who is assessing it on a daily basis. We'll see. If it heals up on the out side first and the damn thing grows like it did the last time, I smell lawsuit...
My thoughts are also with a buddy of mine, he has gone under the knife again as of 8 am this morning. This is a guy who is riddled with cancer and has actually outlived his live expectation by a couple of decades. Wishing him luck in his latest round with the evil C...
Gotta save some for later, have a great day even if it is raining in your area as it is here...

Damn...
Do you believe it? We're almost to the middle of September...
Getting up this early is gonna kill me, although it is about the time I am going to have to get up when I go back to work...
I have an appointment to fill out paperwork with my doctor today and my nurse will be showing up about noon...
Yea, a broken record, I know but it is consuming my whole life at this point.
And it is raining today and supposed to tomorrow as well, not conducive to the life of a person who walks everywhere...
Hope all have a better day than I anticipate for myself.

Another week...
Here we go, another week in this screwed up world...
Didn't find out til yeserday that I needed to make an appointment with the damn doctor to have the papers filled out so I don't get fired from work and even get the beneft plan to pay for my time off although only 66% of my normal but it is better than nothing...
Looks like Vsta RC1 is now available and I am ownloading. Sweet, soon be able to blow away the crap on this system and run with a clean Vista, we'll see what happens.
Gotta cut this short, I have to go to the store my son went to last night and see if he left my debit card there, swear that kid is out to make me have a heart attack...

Does it not seem unnecessary to be told every year that when the kids start back to school, "Be more careful when driving because the kids are headed for school" and then in the spring, to be told the same thing when they get out of school?If you have anything in the way of brains, you should be on the watch for anything that could be a problem when driving and not just kids.

This is getting to be a pain...
I think I am looking at switching just in time, it took almost 10 minutes for this damned blog to open.
Now I know that my system is getting overly buggy right now but my ISP has upped the connection from 2 k to 5 k and connecting to anything is just about impossible. Hopefully I can push this thing along for a few more days till I get the crap off of it I want to keep and then blow the whole system away and start fresh...
Anyway, have a great day, looks like rain here sometime today....

Let's try that...
I found a link on another persons blog, I think it was WarCryGirl, to Wordpress and thought I would give it a shot.
I know, I keep trying different ones and crap but we'll see if this one becomes viable...
here is the address if yer interested - My Insane Life
I'll try to run both for now but as usual, no guarantees..
Update on my back, the doctors nurse told my nurse "Welcome to the 2000's, just tease the wound to keep it open." WTF?
So now the nurse is going to have to keep coming in to keep the hole open so it heals from the inside. I figure I did something to piss him off and really want to ask him what it may have been.
I'll leave it at that for now, have to save something for the new space

What the hell?...
The nurse who comes in to clean the hole in my back and change the dressing, called the surgeons office and is waiting for a callback from him.
She spoke to his nurse and even they are surprised that he did not require a packing to keep this thing from healing over, which, I might add, is actually happening at what appears to be an accelerated rate.
My family doctor who is supposed to fill out the required paperwork so that I don't get fired, has now closed his office till the 11th, I would like to go down, grab him by the throat and shake him like a dog shaking a rag....
Seems one of my cousins was injured by the Taliban attack on Tuesday, he will be coming home sometime this week. He did undergo surgery this morning for the shrapnel in his legs...
The fun just keeps on rolling for me...
BTW, I tried to leave a comment on yer blog Hale but for some reason, got only errors, didn't matter which browser I used either. I figure it must be something with my system as there were other comments already there... Maybe the next time.

Hhmmm....
Looks like management is still not paying attention to what is happening...
Another of my team members is leaving this week for a different company. That is about 5 so far this month.
I personally have had an offer put forth. It would be part time at first and possibly work into full time with more than four times the money.
Should I think about the switch... NOT likely!
A little more on the back, the hole is closing up nicely but that really is not a good thing. The root of it is still producing the same amount of material which, if the hole seals up, will create the swelling and pain again. My daily nurse was to call the surgeon yesterday and I may know more after her visit today...
My family doctor has still not filled out the paperwork necessary for me to get paid by my medical plan from work while I am off, I think this may require a road trip with a bat....
Anyway, have a great humpday!

WOW!!
Coming up on the one year anniversary of this here blog...
I missed posting a single day in that whole year...
Come Saturday, I will re-post the original as well as the comments to it...
It was really weird looking over the old posts and find just how fitting they were and seem to fit this year as well...
Funny how my blood pressure is high or normal, depending on who I'm talking to. For this past week, four of the readings were 138/100, 165/86, 160/80, 175/86. You tell me, are these high and especially as I am taking meds to control it...
Have a great day....

Scientific Explanation...
This is from an email I received...
Scientific Explanation of Hell
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving.
I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa, (Cheerleader Captain and Class Valedictorian) during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night and again this morning, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...leaving only Heaven, and thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God!!!"
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A."
Enjoy...

Redneck...
Took my daughter to the local fair last night and found some real, honest to god, rednecks...
This is the first time in quite a few years that I actual went to see the demolition derby, yea, a little redneck in me just for going to see this but not near as much as the asses behind us.
We went to the grandstand about a half hour before it was to start, good thing too, and managed to get a couple seats in the second row from the bottom, these are really not bad seats even though they are just aluminum benches.
There were a bunch of people behind us with about four empty spaces. It looked like others had been sitting there and had gone to get drinks or food. Just before the show started, there was one guy who was assisting in seating, helping the handicapped and filling empty areas. He spotted the seats behind us and asked if they were taken, the rednecks said that they had gone to get drinks.
The next time the guy went by they said that the people had gone to the washroom.
Funny thing, no one had ever showed up to claim the seats. The next time and from then on, they started cursing and yapping about the fact that if people got there first then they could have the seats, etc.
It wasn't till about fourty minutes into the show that the people arrived to take the seats. They just got to the fair. WTF?
These people cursed a guy out and raised quite a ruckus about those being there early enough get the seats but the "friends" or "family" arrive long after the show and are entitled?
Damn rednecks are everywhere!

This is the first time in quite a few years that I actual went to see the demolition derby, yea, a little redneck in me just for going to see this but not near as much as the asses behind us.
We went to the grandstand about a half hour before it was to start, good thing too, and managed to get a couple seats in the second row from the bottom, these are really not bad seats even though they are just aluminum benches.
There were a bunch of people behind us with about four empty spaces. It looked like others had been sitting there and had gone to get drinks or food. Just before the show started, there was one guy who was assisting in seating, helping the handicapped and filling empty areas. He spotted the seats behind us and asked if they were taken, the rednecks said that they had gone to get drinks.
The next time the guy went by they said that the people had gone to the washroom.
Funny thing, no one had ever showed up to claim the seats. The next time and from then on, they started cursing and yapping about the fact that if people got there first then they could have the seats, etc.
It wasn't till about fourty minutes into the show that the people arrived to take the seats. They just got to the fair. WTF?
These people cursed a guy out and raised quite a ruckus about those being there early enough get the seats but the "friends" or "family" arrive long after the show and are entitled?
Damn rednecks are everywhere!

Great weekend?...
It's a long weekend but just how great is that?
I have to wait for the home nurse to fix up the hole in my back which, by the way, is starting to pain a little more now. Hopefully it is only due to the healing process...
Got to call into work so they don't fire my ass, and let them know I still have not gotten the paperwork from my doctor...
I have to get hold of the doctor to enquire about the paperwork..
As a side note, I have been trying to get the papers since Tuesday. I called in 5/6 times yesterday only to reach a recording that said they would be back on the next business day at 8:30 am. Didn't know if this meant they were out for the weekend so I went to the office to find out. They were in, but they really don't give a shit about anyone. I asked if the papers were ready t which I got the reply, "We can't have them ready in seconds!"
I told her that they had the papers for 3 days already. She states that she saw them back there, pointing in the direction of the back offices. I said that I need them to get paid. She says "sorry" and turns away as if I didn't exist or were a minor nuisance like gnat that had to be waved away..
Anyway, got to take my daughter to the fair tonight, that was a promise which I do keep.
I have to finish up the final communication(letter) to my oldest son. He has decided that he no longer wants anything to do with his entire family. How do you say a final goodbye to your son when he is still alive and well?...
I still have to do all of the other stuff that is usual in my life, laundry, food, cleaning, etc.
And to top it off, the weather is supposed to go to hell tomorrow through Sunday...
I hope everyone else's weekend is going to be better than mine

Thursday and what....
The next nurse for today called not more than a few minutes after the other one left, sweet!
She then called again this morning to moved the appointment up by and hour, makes it easier to plan stuff if you have a time set, even if it gets changed to something earlier.
The extra supplies they needed, showed up just after I left this morning, typical of my luck...
Still waiting for the paperwork from my doctor so I don't get fired from work but when I called there today there was a message that they won't be back till the next business day....
Gonna try til I think they should be back from lunch if they are on that and forgot to change the message. Just seems to be the way my luck runs..

It isn't working....
After talking to the homecare nurse today, I found out that they are supposed to call me the night before to make the necessary arrangements for the next days visit...
Somebody should tell the nurses that, second day in a row where I have to call them to get a callback for my appointment...
Anyway, seems to be progressing as expected so far, still no word on how long I'll be out of commission for...
I think I'm going to live...
Have great humpday!

And...
Yesterday was a bit of an adventure...
Got to the hospital about 10 minutes earlier than needed but that's fine, that is just me...
My daughter went with me incase I needed some kind of help.
About an hour and a half after I was to be there, they finally called me in to do what they were going to do.
The nurse was the only one in the room and when I removed my shirt, she pulled the simple dressing I had on, off, she noted how gross it looked. wtf?
I got on the gurney, on my stomach, and that is when the doctor and his intern came in.
The first words out of his mouth were to the effect, "That is nasty, really gross!" Again, wtf?
I was thinking "bedside manner"? Then I asked, "Beside manner?"
He responded with, "You really don't want to see what is coming out of that thing, it's really not good!" WTF?
The nurse tucked a towel in the top of my pants and draped a few more around where they were going to work.
He then had his intern freeze it with a needle in several places. The told me it would sting a little and the burn as the freezing was going in, it did not and I let them know, seems that was a mistake.
Next, he cut into it, can't see it so don't know what that looks like, and more descriptive language about the material that really started to ooze out...
He then started to squeeze all he could out of this thing. The easiest way to describe it is, lay on your stomach and have someone pour a pail of warm pudding on your back. Same effect but definitely nastier. He had to change the towels around it at least three times before he was done.
At one point, it felt like he had climbed up on my back wearing a pair of golf spikes.
The one final painful bit was when he cut a piece of the opening away so that it would not heal over too fast, he wants it to stay open for a while and heal from the inside.
They dressed it and I was ready to go, This took no more than about twenty minutes.
Now I am waiting for the homecare worker to call for what will be my daily appointment to have the wound cleaned out a re-dressed. He said it would be about two weeks for this thing to heal over. YAY!, I can sleep again...
Anyway, gotta get the paperwork together so that I can be away from work for the next couple of weeks without penalty.
They won't(employer)won't like that at all, but like I give a shit... I'll save that rant for another day.
Time to get ready for all of the crap I have to do today, have good one peeps!

Wild...
Sorry about the late post, my 160gb lost all of its partitions and that prompted the reinstall...
Yesterday...
System locked up on messenger opening.
Reboot 5 or 6 times, still won't boot to the OS.
Try to boot to the cd, would not boot to the Plexwriter, found this out after three tries and bios reset to boot to the Sony DVD reader/writer.
Now we move onto the repair options, yea, right, a few options including "fixmbr" "bootcfg" etc, all to no avail.
OK, lets try to reinstall on top of itself, can't create the directory?...
K, now try to install in a different directory, yea, right, can't create the directory, again.
Now lets try installing on the second drive, can't proceed, can't write to the first drive.
Reset the bios again to boot to the second drive second, Sony first.
Found I had enough room and ability to install on the root of the second drive, great now I can move some stuff from the first drive so I don't lose it.
Two of the partitions are no problem, the root of the drive was a little more annoying.
I would try to open a folder on the root, it would open, I could copy may one or two files and then it would vanish and could not write back to the drive...
After about 20 reboots, I got what I wanted from it and formatted the drive.
I thought I would install Vista but low and behold, the image was corrupt and could not be saved...
What the hell?
Anyway, got a copy from a friend and will reconfigure and maybe install tomorrow...
Sorry, bout the time but I guess you got it figured...
Hope y'all had good Graffiti Monday

Bullshit...
One of my colleagues is an East Indian, he was born in India but has been in Canada for quite a few years...
Working in a call center makes it very hard for him because of the assholes who call in are so frickin racist...
You'll hear them say, "I'm not racist but they are so hard to understand!"
Funny thing is that my colleague is so easy to understand, it ain't even close to funny..
Most of the people who do the most bitching seem to be those that think they have a right to what they want regardless of policy, procedure, or even morals...
The sad part is that the company I work for and the client of this company, both allow this kind of behavior...
They not only allow it, they seem to encourage it...
If a customer calls in and is his, they scream and rant and bitch for another person, they give it to them...
When some one calls in and gets to my buddy, they get right stupid and insult and degrade him, in some cases they hang up before being transferred to the rest of the team because they won't even provide him with their contact information...
When they do allow enough for a transfer, they turn into the nicest people you would ever like to speak too, fucking amazing...
The part that annoys me the most are my own team members...
If one of my customers harasses this gentleman, I dress them down on their conduct before going any farther, not many of the rest of the team do so though, and it absolutely amazes me...
They work with this person every day, he helps in a lot of charitable efforts, he helps in morale building in the company but no one in management(not unexpected with those asses, another story) even acknowledges that he is a Canadian and a human being and should not be treated the way he is...
He has the hardest job in the entire building as he has to deal with the fucking bigoted fucks that call in and the quiet bigots inside the building...
I didn't plan this rant but this man deserves a fuck of a lot of our gratitude and true friendship for what he is and does...
My two cents or more....

Poor animal...
My dog, a Pit Bull, is now about 13 years old and has a really bad case of arthritis..
I give him one aspirin in the morning and one at night and it seems to help a huge amount...
I put some peanut butter on a slice of bread, drop the pill in the middle and fold it in half, this way, he doesn't know that it is there...
Funny thing though, he could be in an absolute coma but when I touch, no, not open, just touch, the peanut butter jam, he is awake and waiting for the "treat"...
I don't think he is going to be around a whole lot longer but trying to make the last year or two easier for him...

FR... maybe...
That would be a format, reinstall...
Seems everything I do on this damn system takes twice as many steps to accomplish...
I decided to leave a reply to a post on "It Occurred To Me" last night and had to come back over to firefox to get it done...
I also have maxthon as another browser but for some reason, it did not like to try to log into the blog last night...
This morning I go to log into my account to post this and again, have to enter all of my info...
I hate having to go to my login spreadsheet (yea, I'm that old, the memory ain't what it used to be) to get the login information...
I must be losing it...
Anyway, gotta start planning for the reinstall, been over a year since the last one...

Sweet...
Looks like we are losing another member of my team...
This is the 8th or 9th in the last 6 months...
It seems a little off when the Client company can keep demanding more and more and the company I work for just keeps leting them kill the people on my team, not to mention the front line people...
Don't get me started on the incentives (non-incentives)

YAY, A DATE!!!!
Yea, that's right, I have a date for surgery....
Went to the doc's yesterday I said. He wanted me to go back to the emergency room and I said, "NP WAY, I'm not spending another 8 hours waiting for someone to come get this thing off my back, you are going make an appointment to do it yourself?"
He says yea but figures it is causing me enough trouble that I should be going to the hospital, emergency department.
I reiterated at least three times that I didn't care when he made my appointment, there was no way that I would be going back to that hospital to wait...
Anyway, that's it for now, I have some news about my oldest son but that can wait for tomorrows posting...

Getting close...
One more day of this infernal pain in my back and I get to see the damn doc...
I have some really late tomatoes, didn't start producing them til last week, hope I have a good number before they are finished...
I think I am also in desperate need of a real life. I go to work shortly after 7 in the morning, return between 6 and 6:30 in the evening, go to bed at about 10/10:30. Saturday, I get up, post to this blog if I haven't done it before going to bed Friday night/Saturday morning,, pack up my laundry and work shirts, head for the laundromat and then the dry cleaners. I come home and rest for a bit, that 2 to 4 mile walk tends to wear out this 49 year old guy, what with the arthritis and joint troubles. I then head for the grocery store and any other shopping I need to do. Sunday is reserved for relaxing and do a few things around the house.
Not much of a life if you ask me...
Maybe someday but my luck is not the kind I would wish on anyone else. I survive but I think they call it "subsisting"
Oh well, not much use in complaining, no one wants to hear it anyway...
Have a good Sunday to few who happen across this blog...

Praise....
Anyone that knows me, knows that I am the farthest thing from a religious person as can be...
One celebrity stated exactly what I thought, "Religion is for those weak of mind"
Of course, this statement will piss a lot of people off but if you think about what they say and do, this statement is the only one that can apply...
The Pope sits on enough cash to keep millions of people from starving, that would be accumulated from those that are attempting to buy their way into "heaven"...
My old man belongs to the Pentacostal Church and to be a member, a percentage of your income has to go to them, wtf?
And just how hard up can you be to have to go door to door to drum up a following like the Jehovahs?
Anyway, I am not knocking people for what they believe in, just what I see as foolishness, each to their own, what ever makes the world turn, add your own cliche here...
I found this sign to be a little odd, I know as a kid, not a chance in hell that I would want to be in a class setting in a church for any time in the summer..
Just my thoughts, take them for what they are... Mine...

TGIF!!!!!
A long weekend of sorts, the long awaited appointment with my surgeon on Monday... YAY!
I know, I know, it's only the preliminary inspection but it's something.....
Didn't talk to too many idiots yesterday but it sounded like a lot of my colleagues did...
One guy who had a unit for 1 full year as of yesterday, wanted a brand new unit, like that is going to happen....
Another guy that was 8 months into his warranty wanted us to ship him a brand new unit so he could take it to his local retailer for exchange for some other model and brand that he wanted...
Do these make any sense to anybody?
Anyway, have a great Friday!

I don't understand...
Ever pick up a call and before the first 5 minutes is up, you wish the hell you hadn't picked it up?
Got a guy that belonged to one of my team mates and he just would not shut the hell up....
45 minutes, is that not a bit insane?
The only thing I accomplished was to get an order number that I am now going to have to watch, when the broken unit starts it's trip back to the service center I have to put in a request...
I had that information to him in the first 10 minutes...
So now, I have a crap load of information that I really didn't need and have almost completely forgotten anyway...
Life in a call center, gotta love it or be mentally unbalanced...

What up?...
I hate having to take a pill everyday of my life....
Friggin blood pressure...
I suppose I could get a different job, lose some weight, etc.... but then I wouldn't be me, would
I?...
Got my Pit Bull on two aspirin daily now two...
He and I both have some fairly bad arthritis...
I put a good sized gob of peanut butter on a piece of bread and fold the pill into the middle of it so he doesn't know it's there... I know he would he around it if he knew....
Anyway, he seems to be a lot better because of them at this point, not sure just how long he has, he is 13 now...
Have a great day peeps...

Not too bad a day...
Woke up to a text message from my son, sent a 4:00 am yesterday morning in response to the one I sent him on Thursday "wtf"...
It was "what wtf?"...
Just about an hour ago, I sent him another telling him he better be home in the next 24 hours...
Didn't ell him that I will have the cops looking for him if he doesn't but that will be the actual result...
Found an empty 40 oz of Captain Morgan's on his bedroom floor, what's that all about?...
got a bit of a burn on my face from being out so long today and for some reason, every joint in my body feels like my arthritis acting up when we are getting rain. No sign of rain but not sure what is going on...
Got my tickets for the 48 million dollar lottery today, have to wait to see how much I didn't win...
And now, for something completely different, I'm goin' to bed.
