Interested thing happened today at the job

Interested thing happened today at the job……

Have you ever had a co-worker that just didn’t REALLY fit in with the rest? Well we HAD one (hint hint on the HAD part). He was relieved of his duties today, aka (FIRED).
I was a witness of his behavior today and let’s just say it included the words Masturbation and Nudity pop-up’s. He was talking to another co-worker who was looking at him like he was crazy. I was looking at her implying “did I just hear what I thought I just heard.” Well I happen to be on my break at a computer station and his cubicle is off to the side.

By this time, I was so zoned into the conversation I don’t remember why I signed into the Computer Station to surf the internet or the reason. So I just signed right back on out and went back to my cubicle. Around 30 minutes later the co-worker that was having the conversation with the NOW TERMINATED employee asked me if I overheard the conversation and I said yes. Now note the incident was around 10:30am she comes to me around 11:15am and then the strangest thing happens around 1pm.

The man comes down my isle and says, “Take care guys I’m being fired, nice to have worked with you.” Now mind you he says that to EVERYONE one of us INDIVIDUALLY. I have 5 other co-workers in my area. Now mind you I heard he did this to everyone else that happens to be in 3 other isles. Originally he had been saying, “Take care guys I’m being fired for Sexual Harassment, nice to have worked with ya.” Well apparently he said it while our Supervisor was behind him getting ready to escort him out the building and he told the employee, “Say it again, and I will call Security”. Well he stopped and said the OTHER phrase by the time he walked down my isle.

Weird thing is this person was just hired and I don’t think he was with the company a month yet!! Not to mention we found out that he was previously fired from another job for the same behavior he showed today. When will people learn? But you know what the really sad part is? Apparently he had been warned about his actions last week for something totally different. He was talking to an employee and made the comment about how he thought he had “nigger lips” to a Caucasian lady in my isle that happens to be married to an African-American man!!! Well she filed a complaint against him, and he was given this warning, oh I don’t know last FRIDAY!!!!!!!!?????????

But I guess being a 50-60 year old Caucasian man, who has shoes that remind me of the Big Dude from the Harry Potter movies, smelling like cologne that has a petrol base to it (anyone wanna get high?), wears a surgical mask (Michael Jackson WILL be calling), Definitely has issues don’t ya think?

Well besides that my day is going slow, just had a townhall meeting for an hour with other co-worker for an update on the business. *YAWN* Dozed off a couple of times if I recall. The weather is really nice and I think I might go workout today. Hope you have a good day;)

I always feel like somebody's watching me (remember the song?)

I always feel like somebody’s watching me (do you remember this song?)


Well yesterday was a dreary rainy day. Just the way I like em. As you all well know I am not too fond of job #1. I still think some people have it out for me, but with other people I do feel that things have gotten better. I still am being cordial and respectful. It bother’s me to the point that I even think about it when I go home. I thinking I wonder what they are plotting on me now. Yet I keep reminding myself that being here is just a FORK in the road of my life. It is not MY LIFE.  I know I can do better yet dealing with self issues doesn’t make it easy.

On an even weirder note: my daily horoscope just came up on my cell phone while I am typing this, it says, “Aquarius – Someone’s temperament is turning form nice to harsh. Watch out.”

On a lighter note, my mom and sis came back from New York this past Sunday. They left on the 23rd and went SHOPPING, a comedy club, and to go see The Color Purple on Broadway. Oh did I mention I had to drop them off at the airport 3AM? Not amusing I assure you. My dad had gone out of town earlier that week on the 21st but he made it back that Friday. So I had the house to myself for least one complete day.

So since I had the house to myself on the 23rd, I decided to go to the gym and workout. I went to a hip hop and salsa class that lasted an hour and must say I enjoyed myself. It sure did kick my butt though and I worked muscles I long lost forgotten. I definitely am going to go again. I miss dancing I used to do it all the time; I miss being active in general. So I went out and bought some soccer shoes and a soccer ball a couple of weeks ago. Now I just need a field…hmm….

On the 25th, I went bridesmaid dress shopping for one of my best friend’s Amy. We settled on halter style since my bosom which is the biggest out of the whole wedding party, just wasn’t cut out for a strapless dress. Yet even the halter dress may cause a problem. I had to go UP 3 or 4 dress sizes; I don’t quite remember my depression was settling in about this time to just accommodate my chest. NOT COOL. So I have to really re-double my efforts at the gym to see how much of this I can get to go away by the wedding. Not to mention I have to go to Ann’s Bra Shop, specialty store to buy a corset bra or any contraption that will keep my rack in check. I might seriously look into a breast augmentation this year.

It amazes me how I know some guys who love women with big breasts but if they knew the trouble we had to endure just carrying these damn cantaloupes around I think they might not want to be so VOCAL to women who are well endowed that are considering getting a reduction. It’s funny when some of my girlfriends look at me and think I’m lucky. I sure as hell don’t, the consequences you deal with are not worth the trouble. Trying to find clothes that don’t stretch across the front, bras that cost so damn much, the markings on your shoulders and back from wearing one for so long, having to readjust yourself whether it be every couple minutes to every couple of hours. Not being able to see your feet unless you LEAN forward now that sucks. If I ever thought I would hate gravity, this would be at the forefront of my issues. Having to cross your hands ABOVE your chest, I don’t even recall the last time I did that. Even typing at a computer is not enjoyable. I can’t lie down on my stomach because THEY get in the way oh and let see if I lay on my back, they act like a divorce couple and go their separate ways. I could go on and on, but alas I have work to do. So until the next episode, take care.

I hate the snow I hate the snow I hate the snow

I hate the snow, I hate the snow, I hate the snow
With the same tune from Let it Snow Let it Snow Let it Snow

Lyrics by me

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But I still had work, not delightful,
And since I had to go,
I hate the snow, I hate the snow, I hate the snow

I hate when it cold and slushy,
But it’s better than freezing rain and icy,
Oh How I hate it so,
I hate the snow, I hate the snow, I hate the snow

When the highway is all jacked up,
With people who don’t know how to drive,
You have to be careful and watch out,
Or you’ll end up a cream pie.

Oh I really hate freezing cold weather,
Could be outside doing something better,
I really hate shoveling, hell no,
I hate the snow, I hate the snow, I hate the snow

This is to response for the damn snow that we received yesterday in Saint Louis, MO. Enjoy;) I also am including the ORIGINAL lyrics to the REAL song so you compare. TATA

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of Pausing,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

A Play about Reality

Yesterday evening I went to an Open Dress Rehearsal play at the St. Louis Black Repertory Company. My best friend, Kamina also invited one of my other best friend’s, Danielle. Information for the play is below:

BEFORE IT HITS HOMEHITS HOME

March 15-April 9By Cheryl West

Directed by Linda Kennedy

Sponsored by Emerson

Caught in a love triangle, a young, big-city musician learns he has AIDS. He returns to his Mississippi home to confront not just his own mortality, but his family's reaction when he reveals his illness isn't the only secret he's been keeping.

Featuring Starletta DuPois and A.C. Smith

I thought it was a very interesting play and the actors in this were excellent. I’m not one to spoil the story line for you but I will say this. It definitely will keep you on the edge of your seat and the message it brings across I think somewhere in your life and if not your own maybe in someone else you know who can relate with this issue. Watching this play, it took me back into the 80’s when the hype and negative attention AIDS first garnered when it hit the news. Yet even 20 years later, through medical advancements to help people living with this disease. Even with all the different clinics, pamphlets, websites, foundations, in the world to help people better understand the battle that humanity as whole IS STILL trying to combat, there is still one fact that remains. People fear what they don’t understand and won’t educate themselves on.

On a totally seperate note: The gentleman who played "JR" in the play, is FIONE!!! (this means he is very handsome in SLANG). Kamina said she went to high school with him and I think his first name is Kelvin or SOMETHING. Oh well;)
