This song is haunting me day and night.
♫ filled with stars cover the skies
And I hope it rains, you’re the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?……..
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you….♫
Is it tune? is it lyrics? dunno but it’s haunting me.

Hoarding is such a complex mental problem. You’d like to just go in and clean the house, but that freaks them out big time. The human brain is so mysterious.

Is she a hoarder? I ask because has anyone seen this show?

I could see how living in that kind of environment would affect your health.
Her selfish and or mental illness is displacing and affect many other people. She probably sees herself as a compassionate and giving person too.

RE: those shows – I never thought that the way someone kept their house could affect their performance on the job – unless they worked at home, of course.
My BL’s house is so filthy it literally put her in the ICU for two weeks earlier this year. She was off work for a month.
If she continues to live in her home in its present state, she’ll end up in the hospital again. That means we underlings will have to work overtime. Since we’re funded by grants, there is no OT in the budget. If she starts calling in sick again, the shelter could go bankrupt trying to pay the OT. We might all lose our jobs.

Comment #136873
This is why I have dreams of stoving peoples heads in with a shovel.
Fuck you BL!
Dave a engineer I publicly called out for being weak of will in decision making and in moral fortitude. Has become the Chief engineer for another group. He came to my boss last week and said that he does not want me to work on any of his groups projects. I am qualified to do so but he doesn’t want me to. MY boss did not stand up to him and tell him to mind his own business. Now I wonder how this will play out.
I want him to get a stroke and forget everything. But be forced into a lesser job. Poor poor Dave he once was chief.
He managed a few people once. One of his people was fucking the cleaning woman. Everyone knew. He claimed he didn’t. I told him he was a shitty boss because of it.

I’m wondering, should I also gripe about my BL? Her laziness knows no bounds.
Oct 14, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Comment #136871
I have considered two options: 1. A post-it note by the snarky note saying “Why did you write this? Not cool.” 2. A letter telling her I think her note is unprofessional and unfounded, and things like that and the constant stream of comments she makes under her breath make for an unpleasant work environment and do not motivate me to go out of my way to be helpful.
I have already done option 3: both, but they are reversible at this point.
Oct 14, 2009 at 2:03 pm

I suppose we could put a positive spin on that by saying that she’s “pro-choice”…

Comment #136869
One of my friends always says that if he won the lottery, he’d drive past his work and throw his work keys through the front door.
Oh, here’s a new one. I agreed to work in the kitchen on Tuesday because we were full and needed the other baker to housekeep. This gave me six days this week. The BL offered to work my shift today, but if I had done that, I would lose 2 hours as baking is 6 hours and innkeeping is 8, so I declined her offer. I go to look at the posted schedule and I find the BL has written a note by my name on Sunday: “6th day by choice”. While I often moan about working to you guys, I DO NOT moan about working to my boss. I work the hours I am scheduled. If I am asked to work more, I work more if I feel it wouldn’t be too many hours. If I feel it’s too many hours, I ask to be off another day, or I decline the hours. If I am called off, I don’t complain about too few hours. If I am asked to work late, I do it, schedule permitting. What possible reason could she have to write that on the schedule? As though I’m a moaner who has to be pre-emptively silenced? Fuck her.

Well, then, it’s official. BL’s management, and the economy all suck. We should get very confused, dress up, and in true Shakesperian style – accuse them of being lawyers before tearing them to bits and feeding them to zoo animals, or the garbage disposal, whichever is closer.

See this is what peeves me to no end about your situation. It is a representative of what is wrong in even huge MEga Corps like mine. Those that should handle things don’t and others have to follow in the wake picking up the pieces and make sense of them. Those are the people that deserve the heavy six figured salary and yet they get no recognition or compensation.
I so want to win the lottery or the economy to miraculously heal so I can tell these muthafuckers here to suck it.

I have resolved the situation. Just got a call from Not-Laurie, who knows nothing except they need to cancel more rooms. I ask her for the information we need, she cannot give it to me. I get her phone number. She calls me back with all the information I need.

Glo I am working within time schedules and for me at work 14 minutes is an eternity.
YOu are either here or youse ain’t.

WTF. YOu take room resev/cancellations and you do not get information. Fracking BL should have done the initial footwork properly to begin with and AND then shown leadership qualities by organizing a proper response to avert any possible impending crisis. The woman is a meat puppet!
Oct 14, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Comment #136859
Yikes, glo… That is one sticky situation. I suppose BL will then blame everyone else when she arrives?
Oct 14, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Comment #136858
OK, I cave.
The latest from the BL: she took a reservation in May for many rooms and a luncheon. She reserved the rooms under the name “1st (Denominational) Church”, made a note that the lunch would be catered by the caterers next door, and that the contact’s name is Laurie. No address, no phone, no e-mail. In June, “Laurie” called and added more rooms. Last week, “Laurie” called and cancelled a few rooms. At neither time did the innkeepers who talked to her (not me) notice that we did not have any information. Well, these rooms are being held for Friday night, we have no names and the caterers next door have never heard of this event. Guess who’s fault this mess is? That’s right, the other two innkeepers. How could they not get contact information when they talked to her? Guess what the BL is going to do to handle the situation? Nothing. She doesn’t work again until Saturday at 3 pm, when it will all be safely over.
I tried not to go on about. Sorry.

You know, CB, it’s in the best interest of the company that the supervisors know which of their subordinates don’t know what the hell they are doing. I still doubt that the supervisors know what they’re doing, however. Glad at least that your supervisor agrees that you shouldn’t spend your days answering your co-workers’ questions.

I saw that you had a comment on that and changed it, ‘Glo.
Good looking out in any event.
BTW, I confirmed with my supervisor that I am no longer the “go-to guy”, so have had great fun this week saying, “Go ask your supervisor.”
Such a pleasure to spend my day doing my own work.

I hope I have not missed you Rose? I have tried uninstalling the flashplayer, downloading it to my desktop and running it as administrater, download with firefox ect. Nothing is working.
I do appreciate your advice though, at first I did not want to pay for something that would be a simple fix, now I am so annoyed that I will take it in next week. Probably be embarassing though, make me look a little foolish when it turns out to be simple. Oh well.

Hey, rose, I called yesterday and I’m number 600something. I have to call at the end of the day today about tomorrow. So I have to work hard today because I have a feeling I am going to lose a day or two at week’s end.

See you, ‘rilla. Considering all that overtime you pulled recently, it seems rude to cut your hours, but you did need to rest a little. I hope it’s not too hard. ‘Howl’ is a great poem, but that’s about all the Ginsberg I know, though I’ve read his letters. Tell her he slept with Neal Cassady – or got up to hanky panky anyway – the main character of On the Road was based on Cassady (you probably know that) – maybe it will interest her. Burroughs was a dope fiend and Kerouac was hopped up on bennies (do I know what I’m talking about…no, I do not). Ciao…

At work, my love, and it’s getting colder. The typhoon blew all the summer out of the skies. Not freezing yet, though. Mornings are lovely, afternoons overcast and cloudy.
I think about 80% of the thread is often movie quotes (which I don’t usually get), especially if mark or imo are out to play. Keeps the joint hopping, though I try not to make a fool of myself by answering them.
