IN THIS CASE THESE WERE ALL GOOD PEOPLE. WELL EXECPT ONE IN MY OPINION. THE CFO HAD A STAFF MEETING WITH US AFTERWARDS AND HE MADE IT CLEAR.  THAT THEY WERE GOOD WORKERS SEVERAL TIMES BUT FOR THE REST OF US TO SURVIVE, THIS HAD TO BE DONE. (I GUESS I'M LUCKY I DON'T MAKE A GREAT SALARY. GOOD ENOUGH THOUGH. ) YOU COULD ALSO HEAR IN HIS VOICE HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS ON HIM. I GUESS BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE DID NOTHING WRONG.

I NEVER BELIEVED MY JOB WAS IN JEOPARDY, BUT IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND THERE IS ALWAYS THAT LITTLE DOUBT. 

OH WELL I GUESS I WON'T BE COMPLAINING ABOUT WORKING LATE NIGHTS AND HAVING 3 AUDITORS POUNDING ME FOR INFORMATION. 

AND AFTERWARD I'LL BE LOOKING MORE FORWARD TO GOING TO THE GYM AND PUMPING UP THE PRIEST. 

NEW WORKER AT THE GYM PLAYS IT FOR ME ALL THE TIME. MANY OF THE OTHER GYM MEMBERS LIKE "VISIONS" AND "NOSTRADAMUS" A LOT.  I CERTIANLY GET A GOOD PUMP DURING THE KEYBOARD/ GUITAR SOLOS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOSTRADAMUS.

OH WELL - LUNCH IS ALMOST OVER - BACK TO WORK.

LATER

I do understand, scorp. It is an awful feeling. Although I have never been in a position where I felt that I would lose my job,  I have had to "let go" many, many people. Most of them were useless but there were the occasional good ones and it hurts. We always feel sorry for the other guy but when it happens to us, we are stunned. These are difficult times. I hope the best for you, my friend.

I AM ALSO IN A STRANGE MOOD TODAY. SEE MY POST IN THE NEWBEE SECTION IN THE WHAT SUCKS THREAD. LATELY  THERE ARE SO MANY CHANGES N MY LIFE. I'M DEALING WITH THEM PRETTY WELL, BUT IT IS A LITTLE STRESSFUL. THANK GO I HAVE THE GYM. ALTHOUGH MY GYM DID CLOSE DOWN AND I AM AT A NEW ONE AND I MISS MANY OF THE FRIENDSHIPS I DEVELOPED AT THE OLD ONE.

The very same to you, my friend. I am in a bit of a melancholy mood today at the passing of another Hollywood Great. I do hope your day is a good one!!!

Ah. So, were lost. Well, my first association was some sort of a plant, but I think that I see an eyeball at the bottom.

GREETINGS  O MIGHTY METAL CONTINGENT!!!

So here it is....it dusted about an inch of snow between last night and this morning...some of the secondary and primary roads by me were a bit icy.  So by the time I hit the main artery that leads me into Ithaca,  I open it up a bit more and find I'm running a bit behind by the time I got in.    I clock in at 6:34am...a minute late (which yes...in spite of how little, is seriously frowned upon here)...I see another name in my slot on the sign in sheet, to which I thought my run was given away for the day.     Then, I remembered they'd been doing refresher training (which we have to do...it's mandatory) all this week...so...I ask the dispatcher...

"....am I part of that this morning?"

He says..."Yes....8am to noon..."



Now...here it is...all this week, I'd been hearing dispatch making arrangements with virtually every driver to accommodate their shifts so they can get their refresher training done...right??     
WELL...IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE IF THEY TOLD ME  AHEAD OF TIME!!!!
OHH!!!   OHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!     (this should please Kinison fans...LOL)

Like the song says....'communication breakdown...it's always the same...'

Deep dish? Doesnt that come out more like a lasagna than a pizza?

In any case, a normal, flat pizza with lots of cheese and ham (or some prosciuto)... THAT is the best thing that was ever invented.

By Satan's beard, I am stuffed and in agony but....OH...SOOO....GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Detroit style pizza? What the heck is THAT? I have honestly never heard of it. Chicago style, sure, but Detroit?

Does it come with a free pistol?

Afternoon all! AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHH!!!! What a freakin day! I have been running around town like a friggin lunatic most of the day trying to get paperwork for the dealership on this stupid new car!! **Grrrrrrrrrrrrr* I swear I should have just paid cash for a different vehicle and been done with it!

Anyway, I see there is not much happening as usual. Good to see MM here, albeit for a brief moment. I agree with you, MM! This awards and Hall of Fame voters are nimrods. Well, it appears that I have very little energy remaining and I will be ordering pizza! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!  Northside Nathan's! the best Detroit style pizza in Vegas!! (that's right, guido! Detroit!!!!!) SOOOOOOOOO good!  I do hope you all have a great evening!
