December 31, 2012...

Last post on the last day of the year. And what a roller coaster it's been...

Mayan (Not)pocalypse, presidential election, 'fiscal cliff', senseless shootings not only of children but just in general, Olympics in London... Plus, personal stuff, as well.
Had inventory at work (twice), as the first time, the office people did it (as they thought, "Hmm...you production people don't seem to be able to do this very well, do you? After all, your numbers don't match OURS!" So, our production manager told them, "Well, fine. Then YOU do it, if you think my people can't." Which they tried. And failed, as they didn't really *want* to do it, so they did a half-assed job. So, guess who had to re-do it?).
Here's hoping that 2013 is better; won't say "It can't get any worse!", because I don't want to jinx it. So, Sláinte in the New Year, keep it safe & sane, and hopefully talk to you again soon.

Apoca-Licious!

So, anyone else survive the Mayan Apocalypse? :D

Happy Weekend After Thanksgiving!

Well, here it is....the Sunday after Thanksgiving here in American...Presidential election's over (OBAMA!!!!!!), Karl Rove had a hissy-fit over Ohio being called for Obama (word has it, that he thought 'the fix was in' for Romney, but Anonymous decided to step in and make sure no shenanigans took place), and I worked double time this weekend. *Whew*! :D

Usually we'd have it off, but this weekend we had some people come in to get stuff done before Monday. The double time was an incentive to make sure they'd show up; otherwise, it would have been just straight pay. Nice! :D

Sorry to hit you with this...but, if you go to Mitt Romney's Facebook page, wait a moment or two, them reload it, you can see the overall LIKES numbers DROP. Guess they were just 'fair-weather' supporters.....

:)

That is all.

Almost Forgot....

'THE WALKING DEAD' season premiere is on AMC in a little over three hours from when I write this. HUZZAH!! :D

Sunday......

Rainy, cold, not much going on outside right now...
God, I love Autumn! :)

And So It Goes...

Yet another casualty at work. This time, however, it wasn't attendance or work habits. No, this time, he quit because they had been there about six months, and wasn't full time yet. You see, except for the core people who were basically headhunted to start at my work, everyone else (including me) came from temporary contract services. The idea was, if you're there for 6 months or 1,040 working hours (whichever you hit first), you would be eligible for a full-on hire. Since I started at the right time (during the Thanksgiving-Christmas holidays a few years ago), some of us were pulling in twelve hour work days.
Seven days a week.
For almost 4 months.
So, I hired in after only 5 months. But, some people didn't get in for over a full YEAR, so six months is nothing. But, things got heated and out of hand, and so he walked out. But, since he QUIT the job, and wasn't fired or laid-off, the service told him that they couldn't help him; he HAD a job, then left it. How'd *THAT* work out for you...? ___________
