The undecided fate

So yesterday I decided I needed to organize my traders (as I haven't done that since before the Sept pin event) and I have ended up with a pile of pins quite frankly I don't know what to do with. They are the ones while they don't fit any of my collections  so I can't "collect" them, their trade values are so lousy Ill never trade them (one for instance has about 170 people trading and 20 people wanting) but they are "too good" to put on lanyards... Some of them are 10.95 pins (or just sparkly, pretty, shiny etc) So for now they sit on my floor in a large pile.. 

 I *know* there are worse problems in the world but I can't decide what to do with them... The last thing I need is more collections (as if Memories, Lilo, 'rails, Tarzan, Summer, Patriotic, Minnie dressed up, Dumbo, Wilderness Region, Small World (still in denial over this one), Where Dreams (and this one), Piece of History, Bear and Kennedy Space Center (and this one) weren't enough!) I do not need to add sparkly, castle, DAK and Mickey to the pile as I have no more wall space or binder space... 

Quote of the Day..

So today in between making snowflakes (YES we were that bored..) at work today,  I was reading one of the few management books I like (If Potter ran GM) and one of the quotes stuck out and I quote " Corrupt leaders tend to hire corruptible people and then mold them into their image, to the long term mutual detriment of all."  That one sentence describes this company all to well. If you can't be molded to think like they think then you have no chance. 

If you threaten to pull back the curtain and revealing that the mighty Oz is nothing more than a simple man then you will be eliminated. They don't want you to know that it is all a mere shroud of power, that there truly is nothing more than someone whose mere accomplishment was that of deceit and corruption. 

Its easier to make decisions when you aren't the one who has to answer the questions and see what and who that decision affects. Leading is more than just words its an action.

But what do I know- I'm not "good enough" for this company. 

Its the little things I tell ya

So I spent the day at DAK and had a pretty decent time- I watched the parade and had never noticed before that Terk's bag has an Adv Club logo on it :) It lives on... 

The park was pretty crowded which was nice.. and the buck turkey dinner at the cafeteria was actually decent...

Happy Turkey Day

Shellfish is not to be stolen

So the last two days (Mon and Tues if you are counting) we had the dinner for the people who had been here 10 and 15 years and while we didnt have near the fun of the 20 it was memorable in its own right. Day 1 brought very few fashion misses but it did have the drunk guy. Day 2 brought many fashion misses and the three (not one, three) people that got busted for stealing shellfish... Apparently two guys got busted for hoarding the shrimp  (and putting it in bags to take home) and then there was crab lady.. 

They put full crabs out as showpieces in the crab claw displays (which had been out since atleast 5pm- the show crabs NOT the claws) and oh 11:30 I notice a lady laying out napkins then putting the crab on and wrapping him up, then putting him in her plastic bag, she then repeated the process 2 more times.. I of course thought it was hilarious (though security did not) and went and confiscated the crabs... I think all you'd get is a really bad case of food poisoning...  It just amazes me what people think they can take home.. I haven't heard how many of the glasses and china walked out this time...

There are signs everywhere...

So I logged onto cnn to read the headlines- found an interesting story on best cities to find a job.. WHY does 3 of them have to be utah and 1 where I lived? I think its mocking me right now... What living in a city where over 800 people lost a job this week and more than 4,500 in October isnt a great place to find a job? I had no idea (insert massive sarcasm here) 

I may have to accept my fate and return to the snows of utah...  uh maybe there needs to be more thought... I like my florida just wish it paid better

Tree!

So I actually decorated my tree today (no more naked tree at my house)

It is kinda sad that I can fill a 6 ft tree with only dis ornaments.. Kinda keeps the theme in the box ;) Oh well I like it- Today I decided to do psedo thanksgiving as I realized I have to feed myself lunch every day (working 4-1) and made green beans, stuffing and tatos (out of a box) and found some frozen turkey and gravy (which looked NOTHING like the box.. Very much if you spend 2 dollars you get what you pay for..) but mixed in with the stuffing its not soo bad.. Its not near the same as home or real cooking but its not bad...
