Aunt Ing hasn't spoken in 2 days and it's been quite the couple of days - I am not going to pull any punches today!
First, I cannot tell you how personally grateful I am that Bubba doesn't work at the Discovery Channel anymore. And that is the first time in 18 months that I have said that. Second I cannot tell you how grateful I am that his former office mate and dear friend of both of us is well physically if not quite on steady pins mentally. Third, rot in hell you environmental wacko.
I have no moral ambiguity about the police taking this idiot out. You want to make the world a better place - fabulous - go clean beaches in New Orleans, figure out how to power my car cheaply on french fry grease, figure out how to make solar panels that will work and not look like you're trying to contact the planet Zoltone from your humble abode.
Disagreeing with programming on a TV channel - seriously? The Discovery Channel has done more for saving the planet and showing it off in all its wonder and you take innocent people hostage and scare the living crap out of 1900 others? AND another thing dumb-ass - the discovery channel doesn't make the programming - they buy it from production companies! And your mentally bent ideas on population and babies - I sincerely doubt there are 3 more people on the planet who agree with you.
Ok that is off my chest. I had a small moment - alone when we heard from friends that everyone was well, safe and headed home.
Now a funny? Bubba told me he remembered this nut job - he gave homeless guys money to protest the Discovery building with him. Then the guys got mugged on their way back to the shelter - nice neighborhood eh?
All right-y then. Rant over.
Now on to some things that happened after all the breaking news had broken. Boss man called me into his office. Asked me if we could get by our big audit (level 1-5) without one of the two folks who keep things organized. Now the guy we were discussing has honestly made his own bed here, but he can serve a purpose - if you light enough of a fire of his butt. Of course the threat of canning his fanny just might be the gasoline on the fire under his nether regions. So I was honest - and now it is my plan to remain quiet and watchful. I hate having to be put in that position - because you want to be nice to a co-worker - but he's done nothing for a year and you can't over look that one.
The second part of the conversation -- see Monday's post and my rant about the Deep South Code jockeys and their Napoleon boss. Now it is my understanding the Nep has met his Russian front... and as we speak he is being raked over coals (I hope) by our customer because he can't or won't make schedule that a monkey could do.
The boss man again asks me about my thoughts on the Deep South Side Step - I asked if he spoke to Deputy boss man - he had not. I recount my 'discussion' of Monday, and my feelings, and the moment that led up to it... and he admitted to me that he had "the worst week in his professional career". Well that's just dandy boy-o but we've been talking about this for... well ever. So it took a bazooka to the back of your head to finally see what an entire staff of people have been screaming about for months and months. Bravo. What are you going to do to change it big man? Also taking a wait and see approach.
So let's hope that Thursday is a bit more uneventful and we will all enjoy the working from home day tomorrow - a three day weekend - and working from home Tuesday. Now to do something productive with my day... but first - I think it's time for lunch. :-)
