stop and stare, you think you're moving but you're going nowhere

so the weather up here has been subpar for the last few days. with rain, and an overall cooler temperature, i find it hard to believe that within the last it was also eighty degrees outside.

along the lines of strange events, a couple of coworkers have inquired about what it is i do at work. not in an insulting manner, but because they are interested in taking the position when i leave. while still others insist encouraging me to stay. which is not going to happen several reasons. most of which revolve around the fact they were being such unreasonable dicks regarding my transfer. i think if i ever tranfer again, it will be out of state. most likely to someplace warm, like mexico or puerto rico.

i also have recently been approved for a car loan. i was browsing their cars, and the only vehicle i was even interested in were their used smart cars. the downside, even though i was "approved" for an amount that would completely cover the cost of the vehicle, the car is still more than twice what i want to pay for a car. now if the had some compact kias or toyotas i would be all over the opportunity. even though the fortwo is compact in size and fuel efficient. it is not so great that is blows away the competition. essentially, it is not one of those things that are expensive upfront, but you save money on daily use. so i will probably pass on the whole deal. i may still call to inquire if their inventory includes any of the vehicles i am interested in purchasing.

...carring me olientar, offensive to me

i just read that in australia, the government authorizes the deaths of two million kangaroos anually. i am not really in aplace to say this an atrocity, for several reasons. first of all, i find it odd that they are willing to kill the kangaroo at all. its like their national bird. i also was not aware that there where even two million kangaroos worlwide, let alone in australia. do they outnumber people there? i could not even imagine how this i possible. plus, they must reproduce at an alarming rate to even keep up with the slaughtering demands. this would be odd as well, becuase i am fairly certain that they only reproduce with typically a single offspring. i am no zoologist thoug, so i am not a hundred percent on that fact. i will have to investigate this more when i get home.

cause i wanna come over

so i had a chance to talk with my manager about being able to go home at the end of the month. i needed to why i was not able to go home. after all, at the end of the week i would not be working there any longer. i did not actually bring up that last part, but that was pretty much my reasoning.

so the manager said that they have to have everyone there for monday, tuesday, and wednesday. i am not exactly sure what for, even though this is my third inventory inspection. if is anything like the other two, i will not even be allowed to work on the monday after. nobody who performs the inspection is allowed to because it is not typically over until the wee hours of the next morning. we also never used the days after for anything. although, this will be my first time as a member of the inventory team. so there may be something additional. i am positive that i do not have to go in monday because i do not usually work sundays. i will have to be allowed an additional day off so that do not exceed five days, and forty hours.
at any rate, now i have to plan so that i get my trip home on the bus overnight. i am pretty sure that is possible. due to the vast number of times i have taken the bus to that area, i know there are basically two times to arrive or leave the local station. my job is to get there very early in the morning so that i am there in time for my niece's birthday. also, considering the fact that i have drive back the same weekend, i may want to get some rest before i have to be on the road.

could it be i've stayed away to long

so yesterday, when i got home from work, there was a very disturbing picture posted to my email. i wish i could post that here. mayhaps when i get home later i will see if can cut paste it on the blog. a one "lynettafajita" also know as lynetta cromwell. who are these morons who keep putting their names on the internet. at any rate, she had some less than flattering things to say about myself, as well as a few other people who responded to cajcameron's post about katy perry. by "responded", i of course mean "disagreed with" cajcameron. if you have not checked out the video, it can be found at youtube under "lynettafajita". i wish i could post a link, but again it just does not appear to be something my phone is capable of doing.

on a lighter note, our prep for inventory has taken a turn for the worst. aside from the person being "in charge" only having worked there for a few short months. there have been several printer malfunctions, my manager has shot down my request for leave, and i have spotted several errors regarding inventory prep. i have gotten to the point where i do not care what happens at this point to the store i am currently. i would love to say that my banal attitude toward my job is a result of short-timers, but it is not something so simple. any input i try to offer as far as the whole prep process has been immediately cast aside or ignored. despite the fact they might just possibly be good ideas, there is no certainty in that becuase change is too hard to encourage at this store.

i do not doubt that they have the store's best interest in mind. even though it does not appear to be the case. in fact, the store's best interest is seldom taken into consideration when you look at the steps being taken in the few weeks passed. all in all, when the time comes for the actual inspection, i will of course have to be there. i am not sure how long it will take, or how long i will be rquired to stay there. i do know it will be an all day event, and will go on long into the evening. so would imagine i will there for quite a long time that day. kind of like the day after thanksgiving.

i just want to know what it was like

so this day, and by proxy this week, has started off terrible already. i got up early this morning with hopes of getting to work early so that could leave earlier in the day. the longer i am at work in the afternoon, the more time it takes for me to get home from work. ate some point it jumps from an hour and a half, to as long as three hours. quite frankly i do not like the people i work with enough that am willing to waste that much of my time working with them.

i will still be leaving early because i must. there really is no choice considering it is a bus holiday and their hours are more idiotic than normal. thus my plans to arrive at work early have been effectively thwarted. i am not sure why they have holiday hours for the holidays that most businesses do not close. i mean honestly, the drivers have to come to work regardless, what point it is to have them work irregular hours for one day.

it is not as if anybody even celebrates labor day. having a bar-b-que does not qualify as a celebration. people eat everyday, changing the way you cook does not make it special. shopping at the sales also does not make it a celebration. unless you are celebrating the fact that you are greedy and cheap. so what exactly is the point of having all these holidays where outside of the bonus pay no one gives a fuck? i think they just designed withe the sole purpose of pissing me off.
