come here and help me eat this dinosaur

Urgh. I had to stay up extra late yesterday so that i could pick up my car from the dealership (new tires + alignment + new battery + oil change = $841.13), and when i finally got to sleep, R.Kelly called and woke me up…

…i can’t remember everything he said, but someone quit, someone got fired, and our fuckhole boss was out there trying to mess with people. He wants Nilley the Snitch to transfer to Omohundro, and he wants old Mr. Robins to go work the roving post at Central? What? This is why this man is an idiot. Mr. Robins is in his seventies. He’s very old and frail, and the only reason he’s still working this job is to have somewhere to go he doesn’t sit around his house all day and miss his dead wife. He comes in, smokes Black & Mild cigarillos inside the building, and doesn’t really do much else. He has an Air Force pension and doesn’t need money. He actually wants to work only 3 days per week, but they put him on a 5-day schedule and he just sticks with it…

….and our boss thinks that he’s just going to transfer to the busiest place and do the busiest job that involves a lot of running around? For the same wage, no less?

So of course, Mr. Robins refuses, and our boss threatens again to install a camera in our place to spy on us…. which is something i don’t want to happen. If i ever have to stop working on drawings there, i’ll find a new job.

Why is he fucking with people? It seems pointless since the contract is up in two months and our boss would likely be out of there anyway. I’m terrified that he knows something that the rest of us don’t. That maybe he’s already in cahoots with the new company and plans to be there after the changeover.

Oh, well. I should wait until my weekend is over and find out what’s really going on.

Damn, Morell quit a week after they tried to fire him. I haven’t seen him forever, but… i’ll miss hearing his voice on the Nextel. We had some good times back in 2010, the first four months of the year before the Flood. We were just hanging out at KRH watching movies in the freezing cold… i especially remember watching Slumdog Millionaire and screaming at the screen because we were so into it.

Those old days at KRH, man. I can’t believe how much i miss them.

Wait, i think i know why our boss is fucking around with Nilley and Robins. I think he’s trying to get them to quit because they charge too much to the company health insurance. Robins is really old, and Nilley is a weird obese man who has been to the emergency room at least three times this year… including one bizarre incident where he had to leave work claiming that he was “choking on a chicken bone” despite not being in any visible distress.

Yeah, they probably have targets on their backs because they use up a lot of health insurance dollars. That’s probably illegal, but the corporation i work for is one of the largest and least ethical in the world.

I’ve been eating a crazy amount of steamed carrots and cauliflower lately. I think i’m like the fat kid from IT — i don’t really care what i eat so long as there’s a lot of it.

Also… Greek yogurt, where have you been all my life? You’re delightful. Unlike normal yogurt, you’re not too runny and sweet. You have the right flavor and texture. Now just be less expensive.

Fuck, it’s been pretty cloudy and rainy for August. I hope this is an omen. I hope this winter is a goddamned monster.

Huh, they just issued me a new ID badge that expires on December 31st. Are we there until December?

Here’s why Mary is such a choad and why no one can stand her. About a week ago, she was sitting on our couch and sniping at my brother because he plays videogames, saying that Call of Duty and Soul Calibur are “children’s games.” I responded by saying something like “oh, come on, aren’t all games children’s games when you think about it? What games are adults allowed to play — bocce ball and shuffleboard? I call bullshit.”

…and later i learned that this made her incredibly mad. She says i “cussed her.” And she hasn’t spoken to me or looked at me since. I don’t really care, but… good god, woman, how can you have such thin skin? The universe does not stop and start at your convenience.

I haven’t worked any overtime in over a month. They actually hired… enough people. It’s kinda annoying to me, but i know that some of the other people are losing their minds. Getting the standard check for 40 hours is unbelievably weak. Someone’s kids are probably eating gruel right now.

Do poor people still eat gruel?

Oh, politics is funny. After three years of insisting that unless Obama releases his birth certificate, we have to ASSUME that it contains some horrible dirty secret that would disqualify him from holding the Presidency… the Republicans now insist that just because Mitt Romney won’t release his tax returns, you simple cannot ASSUME that they contain some horrible dirty secret that would disqualify him from holding the Presidency. Why, that’s just a baseless conspiracy theory.

One of the few people who saw Romney’s taxes was John McCain, and when he did, he thought Sarah Palin was a safer bet.

I hope Mitt Romney doesn’t become President.

There are a lot of hot Olympians but i think Sam Wright is my favorite.
