Internet

Man does the time fly by!! I haven't realized I have been without internet in my house for almost a year now. Sorry it takes a while to remember to go to the library and post new stuff to my blog. Anyway here is the newest installment.

So I now work for a big box company after my last company shit on me...but it is a job and is paying my bills as I have already expressed my distaste for welfare and the type it generates. I digress, so this big box company is good and I like my job overall however there are WAY too many Chiefs and not enough Indians. I am always wondering which boss is who and who has seniority and who I should listen to etc. Damnit can't it be simpler than just having a direct supervisor who then has their own? No that would be too easy for us lowly totem pole stabilizers. I try to get my work done and I have one supervisor telling me to stop and do something else then I get reprimanded for not being where I am supposed to be and doing something else by another supervisor to only go to another place, and not where I am assigned to begin with, only to have more supervisors ask why I am doing so and so and not in my area. For all the love of everything holy just let me do my job and quit worrying about who is where and doing what unless it is hurting the company!!!

Whew my soap box just got a bit taller for a moment there. I didn't realize it bugged me as much as it did. I should make it a point to vent more often.

So on a more personal note I recently lost my uncle to cancer. It sucks royally and of course I am sad. I somewhat regret we were not close in the recent year and had a bit of a falling out but I sucked it up and went to his funeral at the contrary to my gut instinct. My family and I are at a bit of an impass and I was just sure this would be another brick in the wall so to speak. I was pleasantly surprised when his widow and daughter hugged me and thanked me for coming. I guess it was the right decision in the end as I would never have that chance to say goodbye properly again.

I guess I will try to be more open to new ideas and uncomfortable situations in the future. I know that as long as I survive any encounter it will only make my character and my well being stronger.
