No Joke, You Suck!

A young executive was leaving the office at 6 p.m. when he found the CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?"

"Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.

"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine. "I just need one copy."

Ok, so that was a joke but my company isn't joking now. About 6 months ago, all the employees had to fill out an anonymous questionairre about the company and how we felt about different aspects of it. One section was devoted to our management and oh boy did we let them have it. The Gravel Pit employees graded them so harshly, the upper management has decided to send all the middle management to classes for the next 5 weeks to teach them how to be better managers. Um...so why isn't upper management going too?

I don't get it. You all know how Upper Management is. Well see for yourself.

Upper management is what groomed the middle management to be the way they are so wouldn't it make sense to start at the top and work down?

Normally I would be laughing at the fact that my boss has to do this but what it really means is I will be covering for him and working twice as hard while he's gone...where's that damn survey again!!!!

Official cause of death made public

Methadone...a cheap, easily obtainable killer

People magazine reports that the official cause of death of Daniel Smith was a lethal combination of methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro. Pathologist Cyrl Wecht said the drugs caused the cardiac dysrhythmia. He received the reports today. Zoloft and Lexapro are anti-depressants often prescribed together to cross eliminate side effects. Methadone which was once only used in the rehab of herione addicts, is now a common street drug and often prescribed for various pains because it is so affordable. This news report is very disturbing and everyone should read this, especially if you have kids. Just one pill can kill.

He's A Cold-Hearted Snake...

...look into his eyes...or just go here and read about the creep. Dr. Phil had a show about this website today but there are others like it too. Before you date a guy, look him up and see if he's been dissed by others or better yet, go tell these women about the men you've dated and should avoid. This reminds me of a skit in a movie called Amazon Women On The Moon.

Funny stuff, anyway, there's a skit with Steve Guttenberg and Roseanna Arquette where she has this machine and she runs his license and credit card through it and it tells her what other women said about him. I always wanted a machine like that, this website is the next best thing.

House approves U.S.-Mexican border fence

WASHINGTON - The House voted for the second time in a year to erect a fence along a third of the U.S.-Mexican border, part of a Republican effort to keep illegal immigration an issue before voters.
A new 700 miles of double-layered fencing won approval on a 283-138 vote, a bigger margin than last December when the House passed it as part of a broader bill that also would have made being an illegal immigrant a felony. The nearly 2,000-mile border now has about 75 miles of fencing.
Livi's Stock Tip: Invest in Ladders built in Mexico. Show me a 20ft fence and I'll show you a 21ft ladder.

20% or I'll bite your leg off!

Waiters Expect Patrons, Not Employers To Support Them

Don't get me wrong, when I have a good experience, I tip generously but it's my choice to tip and I don't like the idea that because your employer is too cheap to pay you a decent wage, it's suddenly my job to pay your rent. Find a better employer, better yet, lobby these good for nothing politicians into requiring restaurants to pay minimum wage. I'm not gullible enough to think I'm not still paying for it but at least it feels more ethical.

Sick Of It

Wish I could take credit for this but alas, it was written by a fellow political board dweller named Angel May...enjoy.

I am just sick to death of all this wallowing in the "horrors" of 9/11 that goes on each year -- this year even worse. All this does is stir up hatred for people who had no part in that day. It keeps our little moron behind the podium (and in front of uniformed troops) "explaining" to us how "safe" he is keeping us and that to vote for a Democrat would be to turn the world into some kind of a wimpy pinko communist tree-hugging welfare-state full of people who will raise your taxes and don't love Jesus.

Nowhere during all this wallowing in flag-wrapped self-pity do we ever ask ourselves WHY someone felt the need to do such a thing. Never do we ask ourselves was the loss of approximately 3000 civilians worth the deaths of many, many more thousands of innocent civilians in other countries as we bombed and bombed and bombed them. Not even to mention the thousands of our own troops sent away to kill in our names.

I never hear anyone ask what we can do to better get along with people in the world. Or why it is that we are incapable of respecting other cultures.But we can argue endlessly about building some truly ugly replacement towers and where the "memorial" will be so people can go and sit and remember (and possibly fan the flames of hatred), and how the names of those who perished will be inscribed, or if they will be inscribed and how they will be inscribed. I have no doubt that great arguments have even occurred with regard to the font that will be used.

We argue about what the "park" will look like and how it will affect traffic and residences. We think only of ourselves. We call it a "Freedom Tower" (of all stupid names) and we pat each other on the backs, and polish our guns, and talk big about killing ragheads whether they have weapons of mass destruction or not -- never mind that we, ourselves, have weapons of mass destruction (and with no intentions of ridding ourselves of them).

I wonder if 911 will ever become just an emergency phone number again. Well.... if it's a start, then let it begin with me.

AM....programming 911 into my cellphone for one-button efficiency and ignoring the day-long wallow that is occurring all over this blinded country.

Fire on the Mountain

A little excitement today. A power surge started a small fire just over the ridge which attracted all the water helo's and boy do they make a lot of noise when flying overhead. They fly right over us to get to the lake so they can make water drops. My windows were rattling and the floor vibrating most of the afternoon but they quickly put it out and all is well. When you live in the forest, even a small fire will scare the hell out of you though.

(photo credits go to mntjoeschmo and oranged)

UPDATE: A fule tanker overturned on the highway up here today and spilled thousands of gallons of fuel. The highway is closed in both directions through tomorrow and the other main road up here is under constructions so it's closed to upbound traffic. Geez, getting to work tomorrow is going to be fun not to mention trying to sleep knowing all that fuel is out there and idiots who throw their cigarettes out the window are waiting at the bottom to come up. Sweet dreams!
