Warm temperatures and no sign of snow this week as it will remain the same for the next week. Possible snow next weekend. Got the bird feeders filled for my colorful musical visitors.
Before I go on my rants I would like to give a huge thumbs up to the Louisville Cyclocross World Championships. About an hour of pure pain. Not only in U.S. soil but in Kentucky! and all posted to the internet with no stupid restrictions or lame clips. Now, let the rants begin!
I was just reading on Yahoo one of those stupid celebrity sections called Madame Noire and came across one where it was making fun of Stacy Dash for voting for Romney. I can go on for a while being amazed at this mentality but truth is I see it very often and worries me. This country is slowly being separated by very ignorant people. What is worse is these ignorant people don't have an idea about history and facts. To say that people of certain race should favor those of the same race no matter what you believe or what the agenda is. I can honestly say I grew up not being racist. The idea of it was never embedded in me or accepted this until a few years of moving to the United States. The idea of hating another person only because of their color is still weird to grasp. I know it is very rare but that is me. Now as a grown person I see it implanted everywhere and being thought to children. I'll let you just let this sink in. Amazing! Yahoo needs to pull this and not be associated with this thinking. Of course maybe they want to cause this separation and belief in our society.
Work has been slow lately and many workers are starting to question why we are not getting a raise as our store went to a Supercenter. We are being told it is not a Supercenter even though the word is posted everywhere and we have so many managers as required for a Supercenter. I am sure we will get some lame excuse so this giant conglomerate of a company can save yet even a few more dollars. In the meantime I am trying to set the record as the fastest cashier at our location just to show a few of the "managers" here that I am "hot shit" and then drop my numbers to the average. Yes I am being a bit of an asshole but, I am treated the same by some. They can see I can do it but what is my incentive to do so? We are being pushed to not help each other, in turn not being able to help the customers and this I don't like. We have many regulars that yes, they come here to feel welcomed and "chit-chat" and we are being forced to not socialize and interact and share with them. To the point I even get questioned why I helped them with their items or even walked a few out to their cars. They want me to call another person to help them, so wait here for 10-20 minutes if someone decides to show up. Nope, not on my watch. Then they wonder why sales are very low. I know I am a pain in the ass. It is no secret and I am liked for that.
One last minor rant. Why is it movies now have a Homeland Security label warning label on them. I fail to see how this is a "terrorist" act. Just another agency and more of our tax dollars going to this. It is said it harms our economy thus our nation to make a back up copy. What about all the bankers and banks that created this economic crisis we live in here and all over the world that have destroyed the economy. I haven't heard of any getting jail time let alone pay fines. Shut up slave (ITM)!
This is who I am. I am that person whom doesn't dress up to impress and kiss butt. Get another person for that, there are many useless people out there needing the fake attention. I am the type you call when the "shit hits the fan", or when you need to get it done. I have the ability prioritize and see the strengths and weaknesses of others to get the work done. I am used for such problems and I do not mind and prefer it. Many may see this as bad as they want to be the person taking the credit or "kissing the butt". It bothers me none as it is people like me that make a difference. Especially in the Navy where many times much is needed to be done and very few can jump in and get it done. I do it proudly to process personnel to get their necessities done and get them mobilized, trained or their health take care of. I am the person whom worries about others. I am not the "ME" type that only cares about himself. I want to make sure my people are trained and taken care of. Not being pushed to the side. Matter of fact this next drill I will be a bit of a pain as I want to see more training. I don't feel me or many of us are fully ready to deal with certain incidents. I don't like that feeling, especially when some in our unit have much experience and knowledge. I won't change
