Broken

That’s not a significant title by the way, I’m just listening to that song by Seether right now.

It’s been a little while since I’ve last written. This is due to many factors but the major one is that I’m a lazy ass.

Sage has been saying pretty much nothing but “daddy” for the last couple of days. I think that she’s discovered that it’s actually a word and not just a noise that she’s been making.

The other night I was giving Sage a bath. I had only put a couple of inches of water in the tub and she’s very good in the tub, she plays with her toys and entertains herself. Because of this, I didn’t feel the need to keep a constant eye on her and was flipping through a book while checking up on her every minute or so. Talk about a mistake. I was looking at the book when I felt something hit my leg. I thought it was a bath toy, so I looked down and saw a nice wet turd on my pants leg. I looked over at Sage and there she was getting ready to toss another one with a big smile on her face.

Talk about gross. I had to call in Sharon and we’re trying to get Sage somewhat wiped off while emptying the tub. Then I had to fish out all the floaters and use the bleach to clean the tub right afterwards. Filled it up again and threw Sage back in with a good scrubbing down. Who knew that she had a little monkey in her?

Sharon and I have been doing good. We have our arguments once in awhile and sometimes we don’t talk to each other but usually we’re both apologizing and remorseful soon after. It’s just that I can be somewhat annoying (somewhat meaning really, really annoying) and Sharon has a controlling nature. We end up rubbing each other the wrong way sometimes. Recently we were at the post office sending out some ebay auctions. Sharon had printed up a sheet with all the items and who they were going to and how they were being sent. I don’t know why but I had it in my mind that two of the items were switched around in their shipping methods so I had the post office send them my way. This really upset Sharon because she had put time and effort into making this list and I didn’t follow it. We didn’t talk on the way home or when we got there. After a little while, we had a talk over it and got our feelings out in the open about things and made up. That’s just how it goes with us.

“Storm” Saliva

I’m stuck at work. I’m trying to get into management but I’ve found out that the guy who is in charge of promoting people in our district is ,quite frankly, a dick. He’s our district manager and he does his job half assed. My manager has already had to go over the DM’s head twice to try to get things moving with promoting myself and two others in our store who are ready to get into management but it’s still not happening. Three months or so ago, we were put into a program called the High Profile Associate Program. Basically, this was to highlight the people ready for management. There are only 5 people from the 13 stores in our district in this program. We were supposed to get an evaluation and a developement plan and a time frame. I got the evaluation from my manager and that’s all I’ve gotten so far. The development plan and time frame are supposed to come from the district manager and it’s not happening.

There are some management opening in my area. I’m going to try applying for them but I’m kind of scared. I feel that if I apply for these positions right now, I’m just going to get turned down arbitrarily because I haven’t finished my developement plan. I feel as if the DM is holding back on doing this purposefully because I don’t kiss his ass. The only thing that keeps me from beleiving this fully is that one of the other people in the program is the biggest asskisser and he isn’t any further along than I am. So I’m just confused.

Anyway, that’s what’s going on in a nutshell.

Oh, and the songs are what I’m listening to while writing this.
