"WHEN YOU COME TO A FORK IN THE ROAD YOU SHOULD TAKE IT"
....YOGI BERRA

SHHHHHH,
listen closely....can you hear it?
listen carefully.....

NO its not F5 and F6 tornadoes wreaking havoc in the South
NO its not the Big Muddy overflowing its banks and levees
NO its not crazed Moms giving Botox to 8 year old pageant winners
NO it not yet another missing blonde somewhere

the Silence you hear is the MSM lack of coverage of the
silent but still deadly Fukishima Nuke Disaster,
like the Jet Stream has stopped sending nucleicatdes and what not
into our air,food and water SIGH.

aloha 2u,
still adapting to my new insulin. feet are less swollen
but my energy is non existent.get winded walking down the hall to pee,
anything beyond that is a marathon.
but i wanted to talk about Bosses today....
& DILBERT THINKS HE HAS A BAD BOSS....CATEGORY

mY wORST bOSS is possibly a tie of three?
1. in the 70s i worked in an art store
it opened at 8:30 am and i was there.
my then Boss would drive in from Marin
(cushy rich Marin County)
drop his coat then proceed across the street
to the East Bay (Bus) Terminal...where
he would then play pinball until 3 pm
upon which he would return full of energy and futile ideas.
he fired me for WORKING TOO HARD
i.e. i would come in on Sundays,when we were closed,
to prep for the following week.plus i was querulous and demanding
i.e. when he sold items out the floor i was demanding
that he replace them so that we could sell more...

another art store Boss,another Marin dweller,
was both extremely rich and paranoid.
when asked if i had ever benn Bonded
i replied " yes 5 Times, that should prove i'm honest."
he countered with "no, just that you've never been caught."
this was at my opening job interview and yes
i did steal from him and couch others on how to.
this was after a long time worker broke her arm at home
and was told to come in or be. fired....
and like a dutiful sheeple she did. LONG SIGH.
they also had bag or purse inspections every time
you left the building,including lunch.
one female worker had worked out time off
to pick up her boyfriend who'd flown in from Europe
but when the time came to leave no one of the
owners family nor managers was anywhere to be found,
and i watched her look, the next day she returned
only to be fired for missing the inspection.

anothert time i worked security
at PG &E HQ in Frisco,
you know PG&E from the San Bruno pipeline BBQ
...eh,Disaster Fire.anyway there was another guard
whose wife was dying of cancer,
a truly nice guy, and we gossiped,as guards do.
he told me about this wife and her cancer and how
he was GLAD to have a well paying job with rigid schedules
to keep him together thru her transitions
(me i hated the job and quit after a month or so)
so anyway they FIRED HIM becuz.....
they Feared when his wife died he would PROBABLY 
START DRINKING AND BECOME A LOUSY WORKER!
(a thot crime of sorts)

based on what evidence? none needed apparently.

there was a female Boss in L.A. who you had to literally fuck to get a raise.
there was clueless Boss in Texas who wandered around adrift.
there was a clueless Boss in Frisco who lived on a diet of booze and Oreos
and was in charge of fucking up our work schedules...sigh.
another Boss at the same place who i walked in on screwing
one of the female workers
and he did'nt stop as he answered a question...sigh.
both were eventually fired but NOT for conduct
or lack of Basic Job Skills....
same place again, a Born Again Christian
female was fired for NOT doing Coke
with the male Bosses after hours,
and these were diff Bosses from the ones mentioned before.

when i worked at KELLY Girl as a temp
my paycheck was only right when my Boss was out sick,
otherwise she'd screw it up every time!
worked at a comix shop and my Boss would call me  in,
i was part time when not at Kelly Girl,
then pass out in the stockroom or go toy shopping in
Chinatown for hours on end while i held down the store-alone
on busy New Comix days.he was fired for
being an ex-con when the new owners took over.

and these are just SOME of the Bosses i had
long b4 The Great Recession and disability...
did i ever have GOOD Bosses, rare as hens teeth but Yes...
can't think of any at the moment,NO briefly at one hotel i worked at...
but he soon left to open a New Hotel in NYC. (weary sigh)

speaking of hotels, had another Coke head Boss,
a trust fund baby who only worked to screw up
others lives apparently...
(BTW this is where i met The Mirage)
we worked many hours of OT as we opened this brand new hotel
in downtown Frisco a mere hop from the cable cars and Union Square...
.we were promised COMP TIME instead of pay but somehow
the time never seemed right.no matter how un-busy the hotel was,,,sigh.
the reason being that Hotwel Security was mere window dressing,
a sop to some political agreement the hotel owners made to get it built
and his job was to fire 80% of us when no one was looking.
PLUS  there was The Morning Meeting
where all the department heads met to discuss
what has happened over the last 24 hours and how to
cope with or improve on problems presented.
Coke Boy would arrive clueless..if we put reports on
his desk he wouldn't find them and when we taped them to his lamp
would skip going to the office first entirely.
LONG BITTER SIGH.
same hotel,another Boss of Housekeeping
would flush maids heads
in the toilets if not deemed clean enough
plus he pocketed ALL OT PAY
and as they were all Illegals,dare them to protest.

had a another paranoid alcoholic hotel Boss who was okay
but got fired for hitting on his Boss' Mistress
(she was having a 3 way with Upper Boss and wife).
same hotel my morbidly obese Boss
got caught fucking the scrawny egomaniac trust fund baby
head of Personnel
in the trash room, by his wife
during the Xmas Party....amused sigh.
they were Both Fired.

same hotel three, had a New Boss whom i trained,
but when i was patrolling the halls or the lobby
i could never seem to find HIM anywhere. he would be around
to punch out but at other times...radio silence.
so being a gossip i soon found out he was actually working
the lobby at a Diff Hotel,a mere block away,
the same shift he was supposed to be working
at my hotel.(WTF?)
when my alcoholic paranoid Boss,
who had hired this double dealing fuck up,
demanded to know what i knew
i told him..
FIRED.

jeez i do go on,
thot this was going to be a short blog
but i worked from age 17 to 45
and have the psychic scars to prove it.
hope this has at least been amusing?

Peace Now
