2013

I should have finished 2012 with the move. No not me moving again, thank god but my work moving. We had long out grown our old building so we had a massive one built. The week between Xmas and New Years all we did was move. Now this was bad for me. With KT home a couple nights we sat and had drinks late. But because work was so slack I really didn't care. I think I had a week long hangover during that move. Plus the building wasn't finished so we had to use port potties. Let me tell you 40 people using 8 port potties for 5 days is nasty. Actually it got to the point we would just drive over to the timmies and get a coffee just to use the washroom. 2013 started out rough. KTs holiday for the Christmas break was winding down, in fact I think she was supposed to fly the next day or maybe the day after so we were going to go out and have a good bye dinner. She was running late but that was okay, I poured a drink and played some of the Arkham games Bugalow had gotten me for Xmas. ...

Sunday Rants

It is Sunday, a great day for a rant. I don't have a single thing to ramble about today just some random stuff that has been piling up. As always I didn't win the lotto and have to go back to work Tuesday. On the job front I am still enjoying my job, would love to move to "outside" sales but who knows when that will happen.... Oh and still not a published writer. The more I sit back and think about it the more I like Neil Gaiman. The guy has done everything! Books, TV, movies, comics! That would be my dream! Need to get working for that though, shit I am almost 40. Let's talk hockey cause I like to. Parents took me to the Det V Oil game last Sunday. First time I have seen the Wings win live. We had great seats, and wow service right at the seat for drinks now??? Plus Rogers food is awesome. Now for Oil fans this year is shit! A friend was saying to repeat last year a lot of guys need to have career years again, like last year. I think this year is proof there is...

Co workers, those colourful people!

So in my life I have worked in restaurants, office, warehouse, grocery store, coffee house, trade related jobs but not a trades person. So to be fair I there is a lot I haven't seen, but I have noticed the same people over and over in every job.... They are as follows...... The B's. Like worker bees get it? Whatever, anyways carrying on. These are the ones who actual work. Usually have good attendance, work hard and move up. Often showing some initiative. The problem with B's is some are pretty fucking cut throat.Willing to do whatever to get ahead. Good employees and not all are cut throat but I couldn't make them seem perfect. Next is PARTY GUY! Party guy can be a B to except sometimes he forgets that when a late night party comes calling. He might be the guy at work who can get you some weed. And is the one on paydays and Fridays saying come on just 1 beer wont hurt. Looking at you 18 - 27 year old's.... Two things here as party guy gets older he starts to lo...
