Right now I'm shaking my head for you Tabby, I get so mad when it comes to equality in the workplace...or anyplace for that matter. I hope you get the props you so justly deserve.

right now, the gals from work just called me. our boss is now installing cameras even in the breezeways. we already had them in the pro shop and restaurant. can you say Big Brother? i thought the reasoning for this new guy was to generate income...now it seems it is only to spy on those of us already there to make sure we don't slack off or steal pennies...there was a manager there a few years back who hired his own daughter to work. she embezzled money. since then, the boss is sure everyone is stealing from him, and we have check points six ways to sunday already as far as documenting each transaction. he has unusual fees so it is 'more difficult to steal', according to the boss. it actually just makes us nervous about having things balance at the end because there are so many nickel and dime price things...for example, a green fee might be 10.35 for 9 holes, not an even 10 or 11 dollars. tees will cost 47 cents. there are special merchandise receipts for each and every item. everything has to match with the cash register tape. there are cart tags. everything has to be done and re-done. it makes crazy-work, but it makes sense to our boss. i am bothered because it seems our boss doesn't trust us when his eye should be on generating more business. everyone who works the restaurant or pro shop is honest. i haven't seen one hint of someone making off with a quarter or taking a bag of honey roasted peanuts! (in the restaurant, they have to do inventory twice a month. down to each coffeemate packet!) the guy (boss) is wasting his time on 'busy work' and missing the boat on making more money. i'm sure when he has spent oodles of money on security cameras and this new guy's salary, he will find we are making that much less money. no new money coming in, just expenses to oversee us going out. i used to love this job!! i hope i don't end up hating it because i need it. every penny goes to my son's college expenses... i need a hug! and some jack daniels.

Right now I am so frantic I'm about to jump outa my skin! All day I have tried calling my VERY pregnant daughter in FL and all I get is a busy signal. The phone company is no help whatsoever. They told me it was busy....well DUH! that's what I just told you! Right now I may start calling hospitals down there.

Right now I wish I didn't have such an adverse reaction to alchol....I think I could use a drink. Sounds like Tabby could use one to so I'm suggesting she have one for both of us.

Right now I just talked to a phone company supervisor. It is now a fast busy which means all circuits are tied up. She said it will probably be that way until Frances leaves or takes a detour. She said I could call the local police down there and they will check on my daughter once I explained how very pregnant she is. I tried my uncle down there and got a fast busy. I imagine the whole state is like that.

Right now, "awww Twinkie" that is just so wrong... I would probably wait one more day before talking to the police, you dont know the name of the hospital she was going to? can you even get thru to the hospitals... {{hugs}} Right now I want a nap, and I dont want to get back on that bicycle and ride back to the darn pool. Uggg...

Right now I'm keeping Twinks and her daughter in my thoughts... Right now I'm feeling decadent, I'm still in my jammies and my dh just made me a chicken caesar salad. Right now I'm supposed to be getting all my pictures and stuff off of this computer so I can reformat and rebuild the hard drive ...

Thanks so much, Reader, Vacanick, and Lady. I'm trying to relax and calm down. Thank goodness I got MY puter hooked up today and no more hubby's laptop, or I'd really be losing it. LOL Right now I finally got through to my uncle and he is going to check on Mandy. Whew! Lady, that is the most dispicable job. I hate doing it! At least you are getting pampered! Give hubby a big ol' kiss!

Right now I am curious if people other than Californians know what a spare the air day is and get broadcast on their radios telling them to try and stay indoors and not breathe...

right now, strange work day. i think one restaurant gal may quit--she's been there 15 years! this new guy is just hired to spy on us. he told me not to worry and that i am the only one safe. which pissed me off for my daughter. i told her to be very careful when she works and make sure she is friendly and tries to push the merchandise, etc. i saw a note on each of us and my daughter's positive was "m's daughter" and her negative was "moody", which i have never seen in 16 years! everyone had a negative along with their positives (sourpuss, lazy, etc) but me. mine had stars and said, "personality". i am still worried for dd, though! and i have to watch how i warn people since i wasn't supposed to see this notebook! hey, it was there..... this made me smile...think a MALE wrote it? ya think? BE SURE TO MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THIS SATURDAY! AS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW, IT IS A SIN FOR A TALIBAN MALE TO SEE ANY WOMAN OTHER THAN HIS WIFE NAKED, AND THAT HE MUST COMMIT SUICIDE IF HE DOES. SO THIS SATURDAY AT 4 P.M. EASTERN TIME ALL AMERICAN WOMEN ARE ASKED TO WALK OUT OF THEIR HOUSES COMPLETELY NAKED TO HELP WEED OUT ANY NEIGHBORHOOD TERRORISTS. CIRCLING YOUR BLOCK FOR ONE HOUR IS RECOMMENDED FOR THIS ANTI-TERRORIST EFFORT. ALL MEN ARE TO POSITION THEMSELVES IN LAWN CHAIRS IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE TO PROVE THEY ARE NOT TALIBAN, AND TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY THINK IT'S OKAY TO SEE NUDE WOMEN OTHER THAN THEIR WIFE AND TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR ALL AMERICAN WOMEN. AND SINCE THE TALIBAN ALSO DOES NOT APPROVE OF ALCOHOL, A COLD 6-PACK AT YOUR SIDE IS FURTHER PROOF OF YOUR ANTI-TALIBAN SENTIMENT. FOR GOOD MEASURE, HAVE VARIOUS PORK PRODUCTS COOKING ON YOUR BBQ GRILL. THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT APPRECIATES YOUR EFFORTS TO ROOT OUT TERRORISTS AND APPLAUDS YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS ANTI-TERRORIST ACTIVITY. GOD BLESS AMERICA. IT IS YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY TO PASS THIS ON.

Right now I am pondering the notes I took from my disability follow-up appointment today. How can my knee not show up in an xray? I saw the three attempts. There are shadows, but no bone. The 4th wasn't much better. Where the heck did the bones go???? (As an aside, as far as disability is concerned, this would be considered a good thing, right?) Silly: We in Vegas get "air quality warnings" where you are not supposed to go out if you are in certain categories: old, young, ill, etc.
