I'm back

Feeling much better today. Wrote yesterday but managed to annoy myself so I really didn't want anybody else reading it. I got out of something that I really wanted to get out of tomorrow so that made me feel quite a bit better. Nearly tore a guy's head off at work. If you have an easy job that just allows you to set your own hours and your own routine but requires that you don't necessarily set to the same pattern every day (go to the same house at the same time when you know someone isn't going to open the door for you - btw, I'm not in sales), you should be flexible enough to do that job and not f***ing whine about it. It's called diligence and not stupidity, people. This is a grown f***ing man who should know by now how to do his job. Don't want to leave your house until 10AM - work the evening shift at McDonalds. Don't want to drive an hour out of your way to make a delivery. Let me know ahead of time - don't hold onto the darned thing for a week before even attempting to deliver it. Want to fit in to the diligence requirements - on Monday work down, on Tuesday work up, on Wednesday start in the bloody middle and loop one direction and on Thursday start in the middle and loop the other direction. It's not difficult. Or else, lie like a flipping rug and make it look good. I've said it before and I'll say it again - ethics have no place in my business. Neither does stupidity. I don't go out there and do it and some of these jobs are more difficult than others, but still, use some bloody common sense. If the person making the request wants you at the house at 8AM, you be at the house at 8AM, you don't ask me repeatedly if the person is going to answer the door or not. I really couldn't care less if they do or not. Do what you've been requested to do. Maybe it's the fact that I don't have a visible pair, but honestly, I've got more cajones than half the men in my business. (Also, got more brains - wouldn't catch me doing what they do for anything). It's just this one guy though - at least this week. He will not shut up. He hangs around the office for half an hour and the mouth never stops. He'll ask me a question and then when I give him an answer, will tell me all the reasons that he can't do it my way. I tell him what I want him to do and more excuses why he can't - the biggest being money. Say it with me now, kiddies, IF YOU WANT MONEY, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE IN THIS BUSINESS!!!!! Didn't mean to shout there, but really, it's ridiculous. I had to leave my office and lock myself in the breakroom and still he sat out there as if waiting for me to come back. I could hear his voice through the door like some demented stalker. I finally came out and basically and not very compassionately told him to get out. Sometimes my job drives me nuts. Other than that it was one of the best days ever with my boss gone. It was quiet, the phone didn't ring much, nobody quit, we only got one assignment that we had to continue onto Monday - we may have completed it, but there was a lack of information from the client which caused us to go to the wrong place. I got a fair amount of work done, which pleased me.

And then I headed over to church - we had a leadership meeting that I wasn't looking forward to - too many drama queens and I have no patience - but it wasn't bad at all. We went into the regular meeting after that - very interesting topic - I learned some things that I didn't know before so it was all good.

A bit disappointed when I got home because I found out that the topic I chose for my HT100 challenge had already been covered by Tom Fontana in Season 3:2. It was some damn fine writing too on my part, but it was redundant with the stuff already out there.

Oh, good news - (still not pimping) NETFLIX HAS OZ!!! (required shouting there). Yes, it is in my queue because despite my wanting, needing, desiring to pre-order the entire series, I want to have my butt covered as far as the lag time goes. Meaning episode 6:1 should be showing in my house on Tuesday, September 5 whether it's my own copy or a rental.

And I will have KFC and Atomic fireballs to celebrate.

Repeat of the quote fairy's delivery from yesterday -

From "God's Chillin'" -

God almighty, creator of all things, including the loophole. - Beecher

The entire confession scene between Groves and Mukada with the following excerpts:

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition - Groves

Catholicism is "nifty" - Mukada

So you're actually eating His flesh & drinking His blood? - Groves
That's right. - Mukada
Now how could I not get behind a religion like that. - Groves

From "Capital P"

So Jefferson Keane's sister dies because you & the Cardinal had a tiff. - McManus (this one is all in the delivery)
