Right now I'm thinking sick people should NOT be at work. I just spent the last 1/2 hour putting return labels on the wrong side of the envelope!

Right now, Ll, your nephew is an adorable, adorable baby! What is his name?

(Uh, my dd was full term and weighed 6 15.)

And right now, yay for your Hilary, Ll!!



And right now, Tabbymom, I think you need a 'Calgon-take-me-away' evening! [Followed by all the things you SAID (imagined?) you'd just experienced. Heh.]

right now, i am so happy to hear from hermione, too!

right now, i had a terrible, terrible day at work. i had to work all 3 holiday days and i only have this wednesday off out of 12 days total...boss came in today and just ragged and ragged until i cried and wanted to slap him.
he is the most paranoid person i ever met. everyone is out to steal from him. no one is honest. i didn't ask a couple if they wanted to buy balls or tees when i rang them in and therefore, i wasn't pushing the merchandise. this couple has played every week since i have been there and they have never purchased anything, even if i do ask....
boss told me he will never forget that i got tony fired...for those of you who remember the GM we had who did nothing, hid when police or highway patrol officers came to the restaurant for coffee, never showed up for work, etc...anyway, i didn't get tony fired. tony got himself fired from boss's dad who owns the place and saw that tony did nothing. if you also recall, boss hates, hates, hates his father, refers to him by his first name and signs our paychecks without the final letter on their last name...this is the same boss who called after he hired tony and said he maybe should have hired me, how great i was, etc...now he hates my guts. for an entire month he didn't even talk to me. he told me today "when the old man dies or is incapacitated, there will be a new regime at this place. oh yeah, you can bet on it. and if i can't make this place a go, i'll make it private and hire 2 guys to keep it up just for my family's use. and if that doesn't work out, i'll just bulldoze the entire thing and they can put houses out here."
he looked at each name in the book and questioned whether people were sneaking in extra rounds. he wanted to know why it took someone 2.5 hours to play 9 holes. i kept trying to tell him that 8:30 to 10:30 was only 2 hours and he started shouting that it was two and a half hours and no one took that long, etc......well, we were pretty busy and it can easily take 2 hours to play 9 holes.
i was livid. he started on about some lady who used to work there who made the place make money. (she also made the boss). however, he let her have full rein of the place and she ran specials on the course. we have asked for specials for more than a year. he always says, "i don't give anything away."
i told him this wonderful person tried to get everyone else to quit when she finally quit. boss told me i was lying. so i told restaurant gal and she went ballistic. then boss got mad at me for 'running right to debbie'. and i told him he was accusing both me and debbie of lying and i wanted to set it straight. debbie tried to tell him all the things about this supposedly terrific employee, but he wouldn't hear any of it.
if my husband wasn't losing his job (and deb's long time s.o. just lost his two months ago) we would both have walked out and left him to run both the pro shop and restaurant.
it all started when i asked if we would get holiday pay for today and he started in on how we didn't make any money for him. i also told him rain was not considered an 'act of God' and he had to pay us a minimum number of hours when he sent us home. he started yelling...as far as the labor board page states, an act of God is an earthquake, or time of war, or danger from an electric line down, etc. boss says he asked his attorney and rain is an act of God.
anyway, sorry to bore you all, but it was a really horrid day. and i think of everyone who had all 3 days off and i am really envious because i was up at 5:00 and home about 7:30 p.m. all three days.
and my boss is out of touch with reality and how to treat others as humans and not worthless employees....
i was so mad, i started crying.

RIght now, I want to give Tabby a big hug. {{TABBY}} Been there done that with the horrid boss thing and it's truly hell.

Right now, I worked all weekend, too, but I don't have a boss since I'm an independent contractor working from home. That might sound glamorous, until you look at the number of hours versus the $$ I make and see it's really not that great. :-) I spent the weekend editing two presentations for a client, transcribing three hours of tape for another client, and dealing cards (for which I didn't get paid since it was a try-out gig for a different casino games company than the one I've been working for -- they pay more, ostensibly, but Sunday night, I dealt blackjack to poker players waiting to get in the tournament and at the end of 3 hours, had a whopping $2 in the tip jar).

And, RIGHT NOW, I need to get off the board and go finish one more transcription job that I didn't get around to. :-) At least the heat wave broke!

Right now {{{Tabbyking}}}. That really sucks, and you shouldn't have to put up with it. I don't suppose you could tattle to Daddy and get HIS sorry ass fired? LOL, probably not. But if Daddy knew sonny was going to bulldoze the place when Daddy dies. If Daddy knew sonny is sitting around contemplating Daddy's demise ... ah, pipe dreams.

Right now I am reading everyone elses right nows and want to say right now I am feeling for those with troubles at work (co-workers) and (bosses) I use to have a terrible boss - she is gone now, but things are changing again and it doesn't look that good - so I better stop writing but it is too bad we have to have such bad experiences at work since we are there 40 hours plus a week!

Right now I want to share this rather amusing if not bizarre story.

My oldest daughter, Karen is over 30 and single. She is really smart, clever and has her father's sense of humor...which is absolutely hilarious most of the time. She LOVES NFL football in general and the Miami Dolphins in particular due to a long standing crush on Dan Marino since her childhood.

A couple of weeks ago she called me with this tale. A group of friends from work went out together and met up with a group of friends of one of the co-workers. They had a great time hanging out, and she met this one guy in particular that she especially enjoyed, named Richard. He wanted to exchange phone numbers, but couldn't find anything to write with, so Karen...being the smarty pants she is says..."Just tell me your number. I am exceptionally good at remembering numbers, and I will give you a call."

So the next day, she decides to call the guy, but when she goes to dial the number she realizes that this particular number has nothing that she can relate to. Thinking this is a rather difficult number to contend with, she goes ahead. She gets the answering machine...so Karen being Karen leaves this rather humorous message.

A couple of days go by and she doesn't hear from the guy, so she calls again. Leaving another amusing message.

A couple more days and it's now Friday, and they will most likely meet up again on Saturday, so she calls again and says, "Okay buddy. You are now officially on my list. I can understand being busy...but I really would like to spend some more with time you...so you better be picking up the phone mister."

Still nothing.

On Saturday...the friends all meet up again. And there is Richard...VERY glad to see Karen. Karen is so confused. So she says...Well, you could've called back! I left you three messages. Poor Richard has no idea what she is talking about and tries to explain that he hadn't gotten a single message. So at the end of the evening...he says he will call her when he gets home.

Knowing that she would arrive home first...Karen decides to leave him another message on his machine. So in a sexy voice....she says...."HEEEEELLLLLLOOOOOO this is Karen. I am sitting here waiting for your call."

So when Richard gets home...he calls...and Karen thinks he got the message.

But the following Monday...she gets a call. The caller says, "Heeeelllllloooooo" in the same sexy way that Karen did. And Karen answers, "Heeeellllooooooo" back to him. The caller then asks, "Is this Karen?" And Karen confirms that she is indeed.

The caller says, "Well, Hi Karen! You don't know me. My name is Charles, and I have called to tell you that I have really been enjoying the messages that you have been leaving on my machine. So much so, that I hate to see it stopped, but I felt that I had to do the right thing and let you know that you have been dialling the wrong number. But I have to tell you that all my friends and co-workers think you're hilarious!"

Charles and Karen talk for about 30 minutes or so and when he hangs up..he says, "Talk to you later!"

Well, yesterday, Karen called to tell me that she got another call from Charles. He told her that he was married and they are expecting child #2...however, he thinks she would be perfect for his friend Ken.

Karen asks, "Is he tall?"

and Charles says, "Yes he is."

Karen asks, "Does he wear glasses?" (Karen does like the geeky look).

And Charles says, "Yes, he does sometimes."

And then Karen says, "This is the big one...Does he like pro football?"

And Charles says, "I would have to say yes on that being that he is standing right here in his Miami Dolphin jersey."

So Charles turns the phone over to Ken they talk for about 45 minutes...and they make plans to meet for dinner later this week. Charles and his wife, and Ken and Karen.

Now isn't that just too nuts!
