Welcome to Season #2

I miss my Prix

Tonight when I was coming home I was surrounded by not just one red corolla but three... It was kinda creepy to say the least and made me miss my Grand Prix because I have never meet another 81 Beige Grand Prix on the road...

I want one...

Today I think I'm grateful...

It seemed every hour today we heard of more and more people that were laid off/let go/fired how ever you choose to say it.. but the more and more I kept hearing about it has made me grateful of the skills and education I have, that even if/when this job ends, I won't be starting from nothing.. One story in particular that got me thinking was one who started with the company on the college program and never left (and never finished school) who worked their way through Attractions to become a manager where they have spent the last 6-8 years. They have been with the company over 17 years total until today when they were let go. They were good at their job but now what. In the outside world they really have no "marketable skills."

I also think I am grateful that this company became "a company" to me before its now become "just another company" because while I hate the reality we are living in, I understand it better and its not how dare this "wonderful, magical place" do that. It may be a great place but at the end of the day all that matters is dollars and cents.

Sigh- I am ready for the tension and fear to be over with...

Simple pleasures

So one of my all time fav things here in Orlando is the (&%# car wash... I know its lame but Its super cool as its one of those pull-the-car-through ones...

Where else can you get such a thrill for 3 bucks (+ free vacuum)

I need to figure out a way to make it pic of the day sometime...

So is it a bad thing

when it takes almost 24 hours from being away from work and a 2 liter diet dew bottle later to finally feel free from work? I am so tired of it its not even funny.. Its almost down to the point of bribing myself to work 3 days a week (2 days are just fine as Capt isn't there..) which I haven't done since working at La Quinta (and that was only for the first 2 months..)

Since our new "schedule bid" it has become a comical nightmare. He thinks he is now "the most powerful oz" and has started to pick and choose WHAT calls he'll respond to and which he will not, yet things are NOT getting done... When I asked 2 days ago if he had walked the rooms and he replied he did, I did not walk the rooms only to have a group leader find a huge mess inside one of the rooms (and yours truely was the one who got THAT issue...)

I do know this is the only chance for us to see him "hang himself" figuratively not literally but its a lllooonnnngggg process, and I don't know if there is enough dt dew in the world...
