  • Adios, au revoir, so long for now

    Well, this could be adios for a time...just got laid off again...sort of.

    You see, after over a year of service with the company, I've been demoted to "floater" status...meaning, that I'm not considered a regular employee, any longer...not properly a day shift person, not properly a night shift person...I'm put where I'm needed...and, the minute there's a work slow-down, I and other like me, get the boot. I'm now, except for weekends, on "on-call" status...until the workload picks up, I only have work if someone calls in sick.

    Basically, I may not have a paycheck, in two week's time. ...and, additionally, since I use the work computer, no access to the internet. :(

    Well, in a few hours time, Who Series 4 starts in the UK. Wish I was there... >:-(

    Ugh! I'm sitting across the most irritating, insufferable and totally obnoxious loud-mouth guy on the planet!

    I mean, this is someone who thinks he's God's gift, and is quite loud about strutting it about...yech. He insults people and thinks it's funny. Told the guy in the wheelchair (who weighs roughly 20 stone) that he should work at home, that way He (obnoxious guy) wouldn't have to see his (wheelchair guy's) ugly face any longer. Oh, ha-ha.

    He's been drumming loudly on his desk, and laughed at me and started making fun of my name, when I asked him to please stop. What a lowlife--but he gets results, so he gets away with it.

    I got yelled at here, a while back, for being sarcastic when I absolutely wasn't at all--wasn't mad or upset at the woman...was flustered with myself, for stupidly forgetting something I shouldn't have...yet this jerk insults and complians and is downright rude, right-left & centre, and no one cares. I am starting to think perhaps my employer wants to dump me.

    Ah well. Who cares? I used to care. Used to think caring was important--now, I realize, caring is no longer in fashion, in this world. Unless it's popular or trendy, that is. Tho' of course, there's still some exceptions.

    It's a nice day, today. Rain and snow stopped. Chilly but not raw.

    Anyway, still snow around, and there's more green on the trunks of the trees (moss), than there is anywhere else...tho' I did hear my first robin, yesterday. Yesterday was a melancholoy day...driving icy drizzle, bare reddish-brown and gray tree limbs, studded with diamond-drops of rain..pale yellow grass, patches and piles of gray and white snow, mud and puddles everywhere else.

    Wonder if it will ever be warm again?

  • David Tennant wants some ass

    "Awww--I don't wanna' leave the beach! I wanna' ride the donkey!"

    Ha-ha! Fooled ya'. ;)

  • Why I have a headache tonight.

    So, Last week, I got a letter from the federal govt., Social Security, regarding my small monthly supplimental income cheque--66.50, the letter said I wasn't entitled to the money. So....

    I got to the Social Security office to re-pay the cheque I cashed--that they told me, after the fact, that I wasn't supposed to get...and, to hand in the other cheque I got on Tuesday, that I was also told wouldn't be coming any longer.

    They wouldn't take back the money! Okay, I get it, they want it back--the government literally DEMANDS it back, I TRY to give it back, they REFUSE to take it, then--after making me sit and wait 30 minutes, I go in and sit down, and my caseworker says that she THINKs they were wrong, and the yes, I'm SUPPOSED to get it. Blinking hell!

    That thudding in the background is me, banging my head against one of life's walls, by the way. (Ow.)

    On another note, someone gave me some summer blouses today--now, my summer work wardrobe has gone from 2 blouses to 6! Yeah! (punches the air):)

    It snowed this morning, then changed to an icy, driving drizzly rain. I'm sick of snow, so I welcome the rain...'course, by August, I'll be saying, I'm sick of rain, I wish it'd snow, ha-ha.

    If anyone is trying to ring me on my new virgin mobile, I seem to be having problems with people getting through to me...also ran out of minutes. Have to call Virgin and see what's what. Didn't have time today. Well, time to go home..."see" you tomorrow. Cheers. Nancy G.

    Have a good weekend, all. Cheers, Nancy G.
