And.... its Monday....

And this day has pretty much sucked wind since the moment I woke up! I woke, late, (thanks hubby) and apparently I slept funny and my shoulder was letting me know, got the morning going - running behind and of course right before the darling Bubba he leaves he says "You can take those movies back right?"

I put my head under the shower to avoid the four letter words dancing across my internal filter I remember just yesterday he said, "I will take these back in the morning" Now that he's putzed, slept in and now realizes what time it really is... the good old wifey can do the deed. Fine... plus I get a muffin out of the deal. So I rushed a bit - after all who is really in a hurry to get to work... returned the movies, got my muffin and enjoyed a relatively easy drive in....

Then the puppy poo hit the air circulation device... Staff meeting - my slide wasn't there - I KNOW I updated it Friday...ah the old I just save it over everyone else's switch-a-roo... lucky me. Apparently the deep south code jockeys again have their knickers in a bunch and it's my turn to be the one they foist their "we're not doing it" and "I'm holding my breath until you turn blue" tantrums. Fabulous. So after 3 emails from the same person I take a lap around the office, attempt to find our Deputy PM sit down and compose yet another sickening sweet helpful productive email - all the while hurling foul and filth in my head at them....

Then I send a quick one liner to the boss man - "Hey when you get a minute swing by please" Polite, nice - at your leisure... yeah yeah yeah - I can't find your happy ass so haul it to my space will ya? But again in a business setting the please and would you go further than hauling happy asses - especially to those who have input into ones annual raises.

He shows up about an hour later - I still have enough steam under the hood and he gets the heat, "I've had it, trying to do my job, tired of sending the process they don't' read, tired of having to justify why they have to do something simply because it is part of the job ... I was frank, honest and detailed of today's straw that finally broke this camel's back. Mentioned the previous week that the other half of my team said the same thing - it was dismissed. We are treated as the ones who don't get things done on time, don't attend meeting and openly tell our managers to kiss off... news flash boss man - we AREN'T THEM!!

Now a happy rumor passed my ears after my rant that our boss man has finally been hit in the head with his deep south cast iron fry pan that he can see the swamp water through the tweety birds and stars... the Napoleon of said Deep South actually admitted in public in front of the boss - his friend -- that he wants to take over the project and move everything under his influence. I have two words if THAT ever came to pass "I quit" My next words would be "Welcome to Wal-Mart - would you like a cart?"

I digress...

So I was encouraged to speak my peace to the boss man upon his arrival this week... thinking on it - I'm going to let the Deputy boss man convey my feelings for now - and if the poo is still flying Aunt Ing is outta here... but it has to be with my company - we need the Health insurance. After all one must plan ahead right?

Had a great chat with the Dad on the way home, I figured I'd catch Mom and we'd swap some gossip but got Dad grumped about my day, we talked about family and other matters, and then apparently I startled the old boy... we were talking of a family matter and how we know that the in-law in question would never speak to he nor I about it and I said "well I'm afraid I'd have to say here is the bear, the woods and the pile of shit - what do you know! Any questions on the issue?"

My father got quiet and said - that's scary I was thinking basically the same thing! LOL We enjoyed the laugh then Dad quipped, "really got chills up my spine it was what I was thinking - only you used other words - all ed-u-mcated" Oh yeah dad 4 years of college for four letter words. .. so glad the loans are paid off. :-)

I've known I am my father's daughter - just didn't realize the the true depth. We call it like we see it apparently - and enjoy the bear-woods-poo analogy. Welcome to my world boys and girls. So talking to him did help smooth out the rough edges of a crappy day, we talked football and that mess that was the Denver game last night - we talked about folks and enjoyed the time. I guess it's odd we seem to have the best conversations when Mom isn't home... she's not going to like that but then again she doesn't get the football talk so that is probably part of it. Yeah let's go with that.

Well I've got to get up and moving before god, country and the roosters rise so I'm going to sign off and attempt to mellow out...with laundry. Its a life I live isn't it?

Oh - details on the weekend later... I've got 4 hours of conference call tomorrow - I'll have time to chat.
