Pre weekend randoms
I came into work yesterday to an email from EB (evil boss). "Carey, I will be out of the office until April 9th. We will need to talk when I get back"
WTF is that? What kind of boss leaves a note like that to their employee? Is she trying to intimidate me? If so, it didn't work. If she was just trying to piss me off, well then it worked. I pretty much expect to be fired when she returns. Now the joke in the office is, everytime I walk by someone they say "dead man walking". *snort* I need to decide whether or not to confront her on the phone if she asks to speak to me over the next 10 days. We'll see. Mood will dictate that answer. I'm actually not freaked out about being fired. In a small way, I believe in Karma. She's going to be an old and lonely and bitter woman. I can live with that.
I'm going on a road trip in Septemeber. I'm flying to Michigan and meeting Breezy. From there we will be driving up into Canada to stay with Lightsy. Imagine the fun. I try and can't possibly imagine how much fun we're going to have. Have Southern Comfort, will travel.
Michelle hasn't decided whether she wants to do Las Vegas or New York for her 40th birthday. Each trip has it's pros and cons. I asked her to make a decision by the end of this week so that I could get to planning. I'm happy with either option. She keeps asking me which I would rather do. I told her that it really makes no difference to me and that it is up to her. I just want an answer so I can get things booked and paid for before I get fired on the 9th. *grin*
I'm going to the Tattoo Expo on Saturday at the Cow Palace. We're going with a couple of friends. We'll see if I come home with new ink. I already know what I want, it's just a matter of getting it done.
I'm taking my Mom to the Giants/Dodgers game on Easter. *hop* She was soooo soooo excited. I haven't heard my Mom get that happy about something in a long time. So I'm looking forward to it.
That's all I got. Have a good weekend.

I'm going to go get my passport today. Just in case. *grin*
That isn't all that you are doing today. *glare* Don't forget the promise that you made me. *glare*
Michelle yelled at you too. *grin*
In some ways, the idea of being fired would almost seem like a relief to finally be done with it and be able to move on. And that was a REALLY shitty thing for her to do making you wait 10 days to find out what she's talking about. Grrrrr!
Jealous of your road trip!! Let me know if you need any more company up at Lightsy's. :)
That's sort of how I feel, Tkit. Sort of relieved if I get fired so that I don't have to deal with the roller coaster ride around here anymore.
I found it to be pretty chicken shit of her to leave that email. Even my coworkers are amazed that she did that.
*innocent look*
*pout* Michelle is always yelling at me lately. *sniff*
Fine. Go ahead and break your promise to me. I'm telling Michelle.
You know why she said that? Again, hoping you'd quit. Or she's going to give you a big raise and wants to bait your excitement. <--I know, but it's more fun to think that way.
Gawd she's a Beeeotch. Yep, that's a capital B you see there.
Look at this as 10 days to job search without her hovering. And it gives you time to get your cans of coffee ready to throw.
*hugs*
That's part of my dilema, Kim. Do I really want to find another job while these negotiations are going on? The company that is trying to buy us out has already told me that no matter where I am working, they will hunt me down and bring me back here. And I actually trust his word about this. So do I want to go and work somewhere and then have to quit if this sale goes through. That really wouldn't be fair to the company where I would work. I can afford to be off work for a bit in order to wait it out. At least for a couple of months.
Okay. Tattoos at someplace called the Cow Palace just sounds absolutely hilarious to this little farm girl. Just make sure they don't tag your ear, mkay?
Your boss is a moron. I'd be slightly freaked and quite a bit pissed. And I'd probably call her on my own to find out wtf was going on.
Yeah, it sounds like pure intimidation to me. What a moron! I think it is cheaper for the company if you quit. In MN if you are fired you can collect unemployment (which the firing company winds up paying for.) If you quit, no unemployment.
Lol at the Dead Man Walking stuff.
I think Michelle should pick NTC because it's further away and therefore less likely to be a place you go often. LV is just a quick hop away, isn't it?
What kind of tat are you planning to get if you get a tat? Also, I don't remember what other tattoos you might have.
Oops.
NTC = NYC
I currently have a scorpion on my right shoulder (which needs major touch up since it's 16 years old).
If I get one, it will be a 49er charm emblem with an anklet chain.
From what I could tell, Michelle was leaning towards NYC (or NTC *grin*)
Momma, they do piercings too at the tat convention. *grin*
Do you want me to send you my big foam Dodger finger, for the game?
I agree with everything that Swami said. I usually do.
*glares at Puffy* I have a certain finger that I use for the Dodgers. *giggle*
your "boss" sucks. and also *insert what swami said about collecting unemployment but replace MN with PA*
fun road trip.
I don't know anything about baseball except that our team is called the Pirates and they just banned smoking at PNC Park where they play.
*uses certain finger*
today is poopy
Whiner. You better not be pointing that finger at me.
And puleeeeeze. How bad can your day be when you are leaving early for the day. *kick*
two nanner shot bad. I need some. grrrrrrrrrr
ooh, I'm having a good hair day and have a good photo picture shirt on. I'm going to get my passport picture taken. Thanks for the unintentional reminder!
I thought it was 99 Nanners....
I think Bravie should get a tatoo of the naners logo.
*sighs*
I do not think you should get fired. I would rather you quit than get fired. Would there be relief, closure, etc.? Yes. I would rather you not have anything negative.
How exciting that you get to go to Canada. And I know that being with Breezy and Lightsy will be super duper pooper fun.
I don't think Vegas has the rat problem New York has. But I think NY would be fun.
I'm not sure about the tattoo. I'm sure I'm sitting somewhere with Monsty on this one.
Yay for baseball! I'm going to a "poker for Jesus" party on Easter.
i'm bored.
I did what I promised. *poke*
*smooch* Thata girl. I hope your day got better. I came in to make another drink. *grin*
The fuzzy nannas I'm drinking are helping.
ummmmmmmmm lent is over? right? *hiccup* right?
ummmmmmmmm lent is over? right? *hiccup* right?
Well considering that you aren't Catholic, yeah, I'd say Lent is over.
LOL. Last friday I went to the cafeteria and ordered a wiener and fries and was all, "hmmm. everybody else is getting fish. it looks kind of good." It didn't occur to me until just now why that was.
the time on your blog confuses me sometimes. I was wondering why breezy was home and drinking at 4.
You are getting a weiner tatooo right?
The West Coasters have the *only* correct time on their blogs.
Your boss is an idiot. Don't quit. If you quit she doesn't have to pay unemployment (like Swami and Glow said). Make her fire you.
Have fun at the Cow Palace, but try not to go on a rampage tipping cows. It's not nice to tip cows.
I think you should go to NYC, because you guys always go to Vegas.
That is all.
FTR - you can't tip cows! They are surprisingly strong (even the ones that stand in stanchions all day & all night), they have a low center of gravity and four legs to brace & balance themselves, they usually weigh more than 1,000 lbs and they don't want to be knocked over! The only way to bring them down is to grab their head & twist because they will fall to ground to avoid a broken neck. That is all.
Um, for some reason I felt it was important to make this statement in Bravie's blog.
Carry on.
