Bring It ON!!!
I just thought that picture depicted the boss showing his power very well today.
Today the Site Director at work shut down the systems to have a serious chat with the entire staff at work.
Over the past few weeks that I have been there, I have noticed that all these policies that they said they have in place weren’t being followed at all or even being enforced for that matter.
There were people coming in stoned and high as a kite wreaking of pot, some people were obviously drunk, and then we have the idiots that seemed to think it was OK to horse around like a bunch of 4 year old kids.
Well the boss had everybody’s attention when he shut all the systems down to address the entire floor, that he had some news brought to his attention and along with the previous mentioned stuff above, there were people stealing computer hardware items, like monitors, memory, keyboards, and mice.
He was even addressing the supervisors and put them on the spot also because they were as guilty as the others breaking the policies.
The boss even said that the excessive perfumes and colognes they are wearing to cover up the stench of the pot smoke needs to stop too, (I never said it, somebody else did) because there are people working there with extreme sensitivities to strong perfumes. And if you walk in the building smelling of pot, you may as well turn around and go the hell home.
Apparently somebody was going home with the stink of pot on them because somebody was sitting beside them that had come in after smoking a Doobie transferring the stink to their cloths. I can believe it because some of these pot heads really ranked with the stink of pot.
The Big Boss basically gave everybody the ultimatum. If ya can’t act like mature and responsible adults, and don’t like the rules and policies in place, then get the fuck out.
I felt like standing up and applauding him. But then I would have looked like a tool, starting off with the slow clap and all.
I was glad to see somebody stand up and do their job to put some of these idiots in their place. I really hope the supervisors take him serious and follow through. These people that find it necessary to use the ‘F’ word every second word in their sentence is really getting out of hand, and having to apologise to a customer for some piece of shit that has no courtesy for others working around him/her is really embarrassing.
I cant wait to see how things will be tomorrow, since that’s the day there is going to be the ZERO tolerance. No hats, pot stink, perfume and cologne, food, cell phones, swearing, and horsing around. Plus they’ll be installing security cameras.

Holy shit! Just when you thought people couldn’t get any more weird, you see something like this.
I could be wrong, but this has got to place some serious physiological effects on these kids. Can you imaging when they get older and look back at this, just how awkward they will feel knowing that they sucked on Mommies tit till they were 6 years old or older?
Can you imagine the conversation, “Hey Timmy, what cha’ havin’ for dinner after school?”
“My Mom.”
Eyww!
If a kid is old enough to chew food on their own, then it’s time to lay off of the tit. That’s just my opinion, and you’re entitled to it.

Distinctly Bush
What are we going to have a laugh at when Bush is no longer in the spotlight making his blundering Bushisms?
I’ve always looked forward to the press releases or comedy shows making fun of his latest public addresses or speeches, pointing out some of the wacky and weird things he would say.
I have to say that George W. Bush has been one of the most entertaining Presidents that I have ever seen. I bet all them comedy shows like Saturday Night Live and MadTv will miss him too. He gave these shows a lot of great material.
Some of my favorite blunders are;
“I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.” —September 2000, explaining his energy policies at an event in Michigan.
“There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.” — Sept. 17, 2002, in Nashville, Tenn.
“Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB/GYNs aren’t able to practice their love with women all across this country.” — Sept. 6, 2004, at a rally in Poplar Bluff, Mo.
“Make no mistake about it, I understand how tough it is, sir. I talk to families who die.” — Dec. 7, 2006, in a joint appearance with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
“Thank you, Your Holiness. Awesome speech.” April 16, 2008, at a ceremony welcoming Pope Benedict XVIto the White House.
“The fact that they purchased the machine meant somebody had to make the machine. And when somebody makes a machine, it means there’s jobs at the machine-making place.” — May 27, 2008, in Mesa, Ariz.
“I remember meeting a mother of a child who was abducted by the North Koreans right here in the Oval Office.” — June 26, 2008, during a Rose Garden news briefing.
“This thaw — took a while to thaw, it’s going to take a while to unthaw.” Oct. 20, 2008, in Alexandria, La., as he discussed the economy and frozen credit markets.
There is a bigger list here. They get funnier as you go down the list.

The Good Wife's Guide
This was sent to me by e-mail. It has been sitting in my in-box since April 6th, 2008. I’m just now getting around to posting it. I was actually debating if I should or not, some might be offended, then after thinking that, I posted it, because it’s what I do.
It’s a Good Housekeeping article from 1955 on how a Housewife should do her duties in the home the proper way.
The last one. “Always know your place.” was the one that got a chuckle out of me.
If I didn’t know any better, I bet this was written by some guy who was sick and tired coming home to a grouchy wife and a filthy home everyday after work. He was probably tired of being nagged at when he came home from the pub.

All I said was Bomb..
You know the old saying, “If it looks and talks like a duck, then it’s a duck. ” right. Well I feel that this is a prime example of it in a similar way.
I know that racial profiling isn’t a nice thing to do,but if it actually saves lives and offends a group of people, then I say, “Suck it up!”
If it was a mistake, then let the people make a personal apology. The need to go on national television and announce to the world that you were singled out simply because that you fit into a category of people that are known to like to blow the shit out of things is un-necessary. The comment they made about the airline blowing it out of proportion really got me thinking of just how they are doing the same by going on national television to whine about being booted off the plane for having a conversation everybody and their dog knows that you shouldn’t be having on an airplane. The news video had one of the family members quoting what she said, “That is the best place to sit on an airplane, when a bomb goes off.” and several eyewitnesses confirmed what was said.
A Muslim family that was ordered off an AirTran Airways flight on New Year’s Day received an apology and refund on Friday from the airline, which said its decision to bar the passengers was necessary.
I’m sure if it were any other person that wasn’t a Muslim they would have received the boot also. You just don’t talk about bombs while your boarding an airplane. It is just plain fucking common sense!
The fact that your ARE Muslim also would get me wondering also, because like I said before, “Some of your people are known for liking to blow the shit out of things and killing people.”
Yes, it’s unfortunate. But it’s the world we live in that makes people a little more on edge and if it means offending somebody, and saving a lot of lives from a potential tragedy, then so be it.
I know if I had my ass dragged into a police lineup because I wear a goatee, I would understand that somebody wearing a goatee was going to get some metal bracelets for some reason, but I have no reason to worry, because I didn’t do anything wrong. I was profiled, I helped catch a criminal, I was detained and it would have been an inconvenience, but I would still get over it.
This is just my opinion, and you’re entitled to it.
