Less Blogging

Ever since I started working a temp job, I am unable to stay home. As a result, I don’t blog as much mainly because I cannot watch television or Obama’s speech.

You will notice that my blogs are less political in nature as well because there is no time to listen to the radio. My favorite radio talk show personalities are Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin.

But after awhile, I get tired of listening to the spewing of those two and Sean Hannity. They earn lots more money and will say anythng to keep their jobs.

I miss staying at home. I miss the three course meal which are home cooked by Maw. I miss Paw and his little quirks. I miss the parakeets and their happy chirping sounds. I miss our backyard and using the electric blower on the dirt and debris of the eucalyptus tree.

So when there is down time at work, I try to blog. I’m not supposed to but that keeps me from going insane. I’ve learned little from this place except mumble under my breath.

All I do is work, keep to myself, eat my lunch, walk around the block during these cooler times (of mostly clear blue skies) three times for forty minutes and sit down some more.

Then I’m able to talk with the pest who is `better behaved`. I didn’t know he likes to color his spreadsheets. He’s fruity. The girl doesn’t know about formulas in the spreadsheet. That sucks.

20100730-Noticing Numbers

After making a small poop in the bathroom downstairs, I came out and saw the oven clock read 11:11 (in the evening).

Then I awoke at around 2:00am and couldn’t sleep and couldn’t get back too sleep. I tossed and turned until I felt a system shock somewhere from my left wrist (which was resting in my left hip). This occurrence was at around 4:45am. I had to crane my whole body to read the atomic clock sitting on my bedside table located to my right.

Not Understanding

With my bad hearing and their thick accent, I could not understand the two-day project. My brain is still geared to the penny and now they had me allocating `widgets` between the months of August and September! I couldn’t see how they wanted to split the orders! For me that ‘s a no-no based on my background!

Either you have the customer’s widgets or your don’t. That’s called customer service. It’s scary to think that people would ask for something and it’s not there. Trust me: I know the feeling after all these years. My thoughts were racing. My eyes were filling up with tears. I sat in my chair all dejected and nervous – thinking I would split the orders in error.

I hated this project but I needed to keep my job so that I could hang on to what’s left of my money to pay of the debt caused primarily by speculations with a bunch of INVESTORS!

Waaahhh!

Phone Calls

Well, the thugs won’t stop calling my parent’s land line phone number. The thugs won’t stop at anything to get their money.

The dumb ones actually gave away my phone number at work because the CALLER ID of the place registered the incoming phone number AND the name as UCB. It’s really a temporary job and no one else knows about that number except the stupid and dumb ones.

Next time anyone is asking for someone else who no longer lives with you or has nothing to do with financial problems, just instruct the receiver of the calls to say:

YOU HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER.

THIS IS YOUR NOTICE.

DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER AGAIN.

PLACE THIS PHONE NUMBER ON YOUR DO-NOT-CALL LIST.

THANK YOU. GOODBYE.

NOW, HANG UP!

Do NOT be polite. Do NOT say: SORRY. Do NOT say: PLEASE.

20100728-Weathery Ways

Today’s cooler: first the morning clouds and then the afternoon sunshine against clear blue skies, which are faintly hazy with blue and a sunset of slight reddish haze. It’s cold tonight, just like a few days ago. After a couple of weeks in July, the heatwave is over and now begins the cooling of the season and into fall.
