A little off...

Yea, I'm still sick, but may be progressing slowly....

Ever get to the point where you think, "What the hell am I doing?"

I don't know, I've hit a point where I'm not sure where I want to go. I don't want to go back to the hell hole I call work. I don't want to feel sick and crappy all the time. I don't want to just subsist anymore.

I can't afford to leave work, got to pay the rent, utilities, etc.

Just watched a movie called "Accepted".

The question was, "What did you really want to do with your life?"

It sure as hell wasn't what I am doing now.

Feeling a good deal unappreciated, yea, that would be a good assumption.

I have been supporting a family of five for 20+ years on my income and with now assistance from anyone else.

People call me crusty, cranky, anti-social, whatever. I really don't give a shit.

I want to get myself a bike, preferably a Harley or and Indian or even a custom chopper. The point is that I want to get on that thing and disappear. No one else to fend for, support or watch out for, for a change.

I could be damned selfish.

Shit, it ain't ever gonna happen, should just give up now, too tired and beaten to keep this shit up...

Thoughts because of new years, maybe but not likely...

Got to take something to knock this fever down again..

I'll be fine, one thing I'm not is a quitter... Just another bug in my friggin personality...

Almost missed this one...

I don't want to go through another night like that one....

Every two to three hours from 8:30, I was up, dumping back a neocitran, a dose of robitussin, and four tylenol ultra, then back to be to toss and turn some more..

Went to the walk in clinic today at 1:30 and did not get to the Doctor till 5:30.

I'm now on Cipro for ten days, that should kick the crap out of both of the friggin infections I have...

Crap....

I don't feel like posting much today...

I have a sinus infection, a bladder or kidney infection, the bug that happens to be going around....

The night before last, one of my aunts died leaving the guardianship of her 50 year old daughter, who has cerebral palsy, to my 77 year old mother....

I want to go back to bed....

Can't, have to go to work to get paid for the stat holiday, damn...

I wonder.....

The old rule of thumb is to take the Christmas tree down on or after the first of January or you will have bad luck...

What if you didn't even put one up?

If outdoor Christmas lights are the only obvious signs that you even recognize the day, do these have to come down as well?

Will you incur the same luck?

Guess I am going to find out..

I am not taking the lights down and I did not put up any other decorations including a tree....

Guess I might be a Scrooge, Bah, Humbug!

What is wrong with these people?

I hate people...

I don't mean just some people, I mean as a whole, I hate people...

You could call me downright antisocial...

By being that way, I don't have to go places I don't want to, don't have to be beholding to others for anything...

I have come to the conclusion that I am the only one I can count on completely...

That kind of got off the subject I was going for...

I called one asshole yesterday that was not asking for me to bend the rules and ignore the warranty just this once...

She purchased a product about three months ago. I told her that it was out of manufacture for almost a year and that a refurbished replacement was the only option available to her.

She had the nerve to demand a "new" newer model, replacement. That will only happen within thirty days of purchase or in extreme, multi-replacement scenarios...

Bitch says she is going to TV and radio to get what she wants...

I told her she had reached the top of the food chain and that we made those decisions...

She states, "There is always someone higher!"

Just where the fuck do they think they can go?

How can they think that the CEO of a multi-billion dollar, multinational company would have the time or even the inclination to talk to them, much less address their issue?

A lot of complete assholes live in New York...

And I'm just speaking from experience...

BTW, thanks for the Merry Fucking Christmas you fucking, self centered, self righteous cunt....

Good...

I hope all had a great Christmas day, mine wasn't too bad at all, at least better than I expected...

The forerunner was the picture of my oldest son which can be seen three posts back...

I got a Timmies coffee maker and some coffee to go with it, perfect for Christmas day as Timmies is closed for that day...

The kid decided to stay with us the whole day and even till bedtime, figured he'd take off like he did Christmas eve...

Good food and time with the the rest of my family made it worthwhile.

Too bad we have to go back to work today...

You yanks remember that for us Canadians, this is a statutory holiday and don't need to put up with any shit on the phones today...

WTF???...

Ever find that things you do everyday seem to take one day and seem to give you nothing but problems?

Just now, I was digging through a pile of papers at the back of my desk and some CD's that have been on the one speaker for almost a year, suddenly pick that moment to fall off? The papers suddenly, at that same moment, decide to fall all over the desk including my keyboard?

I keep my blood pressure pills out here at my desk too so I won't forget to take them every morning. They picked this morning to fall from the shelf to my keyboard.

It just seems that a lot of crap is going to rain on my head today as well...

Not going to talk about the rain we are to get through Christmas day either....

Is it enough yet?

The client company on whose contract I work, has made a record profit in the last reporting period.

The profit earned has close to doubled from the previous period.

When is it enough?

They like to report themselves to be people oriented. I say bullshit!

The say goes for the company I work for.

The client keeps changing the requirements that our agents have to adhere to, adding more blocks to the path of excellence, and offering nothing else to those they are pushing.

In my company, the management rules by fear, didn't know it was a management style. It shows in the attrition but I guarantee that the management will never admit that they were wrong...

I am going to writing the CEO of my company about the way management runs it, possibly having my ass fired in the process.

I would do the same with the client but it would come back to my team and I know where that would lead... nowhere...

Anyway, I got to get to that really wonderful job and all the good people we call managers.... Where the hell are my drugs....

Update...

The asshole from the previous post told another person that he thought I was great?

All I can think is that he had had a bad day and went off like a loon...

He is getting what I was going to order for him anyway but I don't have to deal with him anymore, he now has another on my team to deal with...

I have a feeling that even though I thought I had everything done for Christmas last weekend, I am missing something...

Driving me nuts....

5 days to Christmas day

Have a great day

Assholes!

For the most part, most of the people I talk to are just looking to get a resolution to a problem and are more than a little apologetic once they realize I'm there to do just that...

However, there are some self righteous, self centered, assholes that can only think of themselves...

If you are one of those friggin asses that call technical support over the holiday, think about that poorly paid slob who has gone to work to help you out instead of staying home and thinking of themselves .

Don't yell at them as if they owe you the fucking world because they don't. If it wasn't for them, you would go the whole holiday in ignorant confusion and stupidity.

Think before you open your mouth..

I had two customers call for me yesterday that tried to claim that I offered or said something I did not. The most obnoxious of them was given the sharp side of one of myassociates tongue when he told her that I was a liar. If there is one thing I do not do, it is lie. He had the nerve to call back and demand the fax number for my team without providing any information. Just who does he think he is? Does he truly believe that the multinational, multi billion dollar company will fold without his one sale?

To him I say "FUCK OFF!" You are not that important and will find out I was offering more than he will now get, asshole!

Anyway, think about that poor person that, instead of spending time with his/her family over the holiday, is there to try to make yours more enjoyable..

And say "MERRY CHRISTMAS" to them, pc be damned!

Hhmmm....

Got a call from my Mother yesterday. Seems my oldest son has decided to stay in contact in a round about way...

My brother has continued to send letters and cards to him and this week he got a letter back. It included a picture of him im his uniform and with his adopted son. I don't know if he has legally adopted him but he has chosen to be and take responsibility for the kid so....

It's just too bad the kid has such a bitch for a mother and with luck, he won't grow up to be like her...

I am proud of my Son and someday he may realize that and I hope it won't be too late when he does...

Anyway, 7 days till Christmas

Yummy!

One of my coworkers was selling cookie dough as a fund raiser for her kids school.

I put ll three tubs in the fridge and just wonder how long it'll take for the kid to find it and eat it. He doesn't cook it, just scoops right out of the tubs with a spoon. I kind of hoped it would make him sick the last time but he's a tough little shit...

Going to be testing just how tough he is in about three months. He will be eighteen in March and at this point, I will be kicking his lazy friggin ass out of my house.

It's been twenty six years since I was by myself and I am really looking forward to it. To bad it has to be this way.

Hope all have a great weekend.

found him...

I found that little prick that's cutting the grass....

He happens to be cutting the grass somewhere between my eyes and the back of my head...

I'll catch him sittin' on my nose for a break and then.....

Is there something about turning fifty that tells your body, "It's time to start breaking down", at and accelerated rate?

The knee on which I have had four surgeries through the years is starting to hurt a lot more than usual. I thought it might be the weather at first but doesn't seem to be now....

Just putting my socks on can be a venture in pain and contortionism( wonder if that is a real word?)

Crap, I hate this aging thing...

Sorry, got a friggin sinus infection and the only thing I can smell is a lawnmower cutting grass. It's like a mix of cut grass and lawnmower fumes. This has been going on 24/7 for the last three weeks.

Gotta go find that asshole that's cutting his lawn on frigging December, looks like it's gonna be a green Christmas...

Handled?...

It took me some time to get a hold of one of my customers almost two weeks ago...

When I did, his wife went off like an absolute asshole, making demands without even hearing what I had to offer...

They had three of the one product and one of them had been exchanged so they really did not want them anymore...

I offered to replace all three units with three more that were worth twice the money, new and for no cost to them...

They wanted to go look at them and I made it quite clear that they could not get the other model they were looking at from me as it would require a product line cross which is not allowed on my level...

He called back in yesterday claiming the units I offered would not work but he wanted the other model he mentioned when we first spoke...

I reiterated that that would not be possible and he goes on to state that he did not like how I handled the issue...

I'm giving him a full refund for all three units, no question and he isn't happy?

What an ass....

Happy season?...

Christmas is coming but the season holds a hell of a lot less for me these years...

No, 50 ain't old but I feel a shit load older than that...

My oldest son is in the military and moved away from us which is not a bad thing. The bad part is the "bitch" he hooked up with has gotten his head turned and screwing him up. Because she claims she was slighted by me, she has made sure to have him refuse all contact with his whole family, not just me. He wrote a letter to his grandmother which I would have made him eat if I had been anywhere hear him. I couldn't believe the words she read to me. It may have been his writing but that friggin little bitch was the one dictating it.... Won't be talking to him anytime in the foreseeable future if ever again....

My daughter lives with her mother and I do see her on a regular basis but she is living her life. I have no issues with her at all. She is a good kid and finally got some work again and she really likes it. Thank Christ for that...

The youngest one and only person that lives with me, is driving me completely off my rocker...

I was sure that we had raised these kids to be a whole lot less selfish than they have turned out. He comes home to sleep, shit, use my computer, use my TV, use my heat, hydro, sewer, eat my food and just take whatever he wants, whenever he wants. He leaves garbage anywhere he happens to have put it down. He leaves dirty dishes wherever he was eating and will not lift a finger to help in any way at all...

I told him that if, by the time the school year is out in June, he has not put in a consistent and concerted effort to help out around here, either in chores or in a monetary fashion, he is out. When asked when he is going to get a job he states that we haven't gotten him his social insurance card yet. His friends, who manage to get their cards and work, have told him, "Your old enough to go and get the damned thing yourself". Doesn't seem to make a difference.

The only time I see him is when I kick his ass out of bed in the morning to sometimes make it to school... Occasionally, he will make it home before I have to go to bed so that I can get up in time for me to go to work but not often.

I couldn't handle the slob of a wife I married and it looks like she passed her slovenly ways on to the kids as I was the sole support for this family for over twenty years.

She also made sure that any friends I had would not came near the place because it would be so uncomfortable for them to visit.

I am sort of waiting for the time when I will have the place to myself and have only me to worry about. Even the dog is nearing the end of his time on this earth, he's 13 and pretty stove up with arthritis which is only alleviated to some extent by the aspirin I give him in the morning and at night.

Sorry for the sucky tone on this one but I did manage some time to think about how crappy things seem to have turned out...

Hope all have a good weekend...

Busy...

I really like it when it is busy, tends to make the day go a hell of a lot faster.

It's too bad we have such screwed up management...

My yearly review from last year is not going to be addressed even though it has been noted that it is incorrect. Kinda funny that this particular manager can walk away from all of the reviews that he screwed up because he was moved away from the team and no longer even answers to the person who was above him at the time.

The company bitches about attrition all of the time but praises the shit out of the management team. Just who the hell do they think is driving the attrition level?

It's not about the job or how the job is done, most love the job, it is about the ass kissing and nepotism.

Too bad I won't try tasting the ass...

Crook...

I got a customer this week that, as we found out yesterday, is one of our biggest fraud artists.

I my case, he had a product bundle where the two main components were defective, according to the customer. Realize that when someone has gotten to my level they have already done a crap load of troubleshooting.

I setup replacements for both products. He receives the replacements and calls back because, once again, according to him, his wife sent in all of the accessories with the units which I told him not to do. I told him that I would set up the parts and send them to him sometime yesterday. Luckily, I got a load more info from one of my colleagues...

He used a different name and phone number and provided the same story to her and she did the same thing I did. The clue in was the fact that he called back to her to have one other item added that really had my colleague wondering about the validity. Not 5 minutes later, the asshole called back for me and requested the same thing...

Within about 20 minutes more, we find out that he has been around just about everyone else on our team.

This goof has more than $1000 worth of product from my team alone. He has at least 6/7 different names that he uses but he gets greedy and that is his downfall.

The real problem I have with the whole thing, the client has no mechanism in place to take the assholes down.

Nothing pisses us off more than seeing these bald face frauds, con artists, crooks, get away with the scams...

He lives in Rockford, Illinois and his last name always has an "HA" to start with...

Haley, Hater.. etc.

If anyone knows this frickin jerk, punch him in the mouth for me!

Loon?

Looks like I may be a one of a kind loon...

I'm the only one that gets to work somewhere between 45 min to an hour and a 1/4 before my shift, just to ensure I am prepared before I am on the clock. Guess it is part of my work ethic...

I don't make arrangements for a ride to work. I have not driven for more than 4 years and started walking the two miles to work and home each day. Apparently, I should be busing or arranging a ride with fellow employees, according to others...

Just two of the things that set me asside from the pack, I like to think ahead of the pack...

Dependence...

How many people depending on you and your decisions, does it take to send you around the bend?

The job does have its upside, the thankfulness of those that are simple to help...

The real downside is the support from the management that runs our outsource company...

They want people to love to come to work but just how likely is that when the only they seem to have to motivate the employees is fear?

Is "fear" a management style?

I know, I asked this before but it is a sore spot that won't heal...

Just another day...

Tuesday and what do I have to look forward to?

The garbage and recycling trucks to take our crap away...

I walk to work through the fresh snow we got last night...

Sign on to my system at work including all of my tools...

Check any email that came in overnight...

Water my plants as well as those of a couple other people on my team...

Go get my drink and sometimes morning snack, don't usually get lunch til about 3 or later in the afternoon...

Check out one comic strip site and three news sites

Check the status on any outstanding orders that I set up...

Wait to stamp timecard so I will be officially on the clock...

Then, 8 hours of nonstop bitchin and complaining...

Time to cart my ass home where I veg in front of the boob tube for a couple of hours before bed...

Then I will get up and start all over again tomorrow...

Is it worth it?...

Fixed?

Appears that I have been fixed...

No, no, no, not that kind of fixed. My blood pressure is now under control...

The lump that had me worried seems to be an oddity. It vanished on Monday and Tuesday, reappeared on Wednesday and gone again Thursday. Doc figures its just some sort of fluid filled thing that really is no problem. Could be associated with the damnable bug I've had for the past three weeks.

Anyway, good enough to go back to work, TGIF...
