As a project manager, the hardest part for me is the "passing of the buck". Many a times, I encounter passing of the buck from supervisors, managers and directors. It seems it's human nature to pass off something that you dislike doing and/or have no clue how to do. Although understandable, I feel as an adult who freely accepts the responsibility, you should suck it up and do it or tell me right off the bat, you don't want to do it/you do not have the expertise/knowledge to do it. I hate ...
In 1995, McArthur Wheeler walked into two Pittsburgh banks and robbed them in broad daylight, with no visible attempt at disguise. He was arrested later that night, less than an hour after videotapes of him taken from surveillance cameras were broadcast on the 11 o'clock news. When police later showed him the surveillance tapes, Mr. Wheeler stared in incredulity. "But I wore the juice," he mumbled. Apparently, Mr. Wheeler was under the impression that rubbing one's face with lemon juice re...
I decided to quit this stinkin job. Dr. Loev & I talked briefly about my job at my session a acouple weeks ago. I'm wondering why it took a professional to look at me & say Why aren't you using your education & working as a paralegal? I didn't have an answer. Made that light bulb come on over my head, and this time the dimmer switch wasn't on. Why the hell am I staying at this half assed company, kow-towing to the owner every time he gets a bug up his arse and decides to chew me out ...
My coworker is gone untl Monday. She is the dispatcher. I'm backup for when she goes to lunch, which is about as long as my patience lasts with some of these technicians. However, I get to be dispatcher when she's out, also. Much as I tried to prevent it, chaos reigns. I wonder sometimes what exactly can be claimed as a "work related injury"? Like what if you banged your head repeatedly against the wall? Would that be a work related injury, or would it be some sort of assault & batte...
I'm fairly certain I must work in one of the most dysfunctional offices in America. I'm sure everyone must feel this way from time to time, or even agree with it on most days. Seriously though, I wonder how these people manage to find their way to work each day, when at least twice a day for the last 5 years they've not been able to figure out how to operate the exact same fax machine that's always been here. But they can and do get behind the wheel each and every day. Scary, isn't it?

Well I am kind of sad to day or maybe I am just irritated, yes I am irritated because of my father in law, he is visiting us now and is going to stay here with us until the end of the month. I don’t know if you know someone who never stops talking!!!!!!!! I mean never stops. The day starts like this he wakes up and starts talking about everything and nothing in portent, mostly about money and criticizing others he does not stop talking when he eats breakfast lunch or dinner and he keeps on...
The Collapse of Reason Riding high on a building wave of confidence we left the room to await the opening of the Board proceedings. I knew I would not have to hang on the tenterhooks of anticipation for long as my soldier was number 2 on the list. The only soldier before us was one SPC Thicke . SPC Thicke is a pretty good soldier and I was fairly certain she would acquit herself well even though I had not had the opportunity to work directly with her. &nbs...
Hi guys, I just heard from the reporter at the USAToday. My story got pushed back to Wednesdays paper because they needed to make room for to run the Disney article. That is quite a fiascle. Especially down here because Disney is one of the biggest employers. So how are you liking the new members area. I have gotten a few messages from some of you from that comment box and everything has been real positive so that is a good sign. Now I am working on a redo of my free area. I actua...
Yeah just so you know what we have been working on for so long. Use your own username and password and check out the "new" members area. Here is the URL you need to go to: http://www.sammy4u.com/Members/index.php See it is so close to beinging done but it is still messed up. I am so frustrated with this whole process. It was supposed to be completed before X-mas! Can you believe that. We are working with a programmer that is most unreliable and have had our end of things tied up for...
Tech Tv - again Hi guys! I just got done filming my first peice on Tech TV as their new Technology reporter! It was fun but I was pretty scared and nervous. Didn't want to get fired on my first day. But they called afterwards and said I did a good job but didn't do enough boobie shaking. So next time I will be a jiggling away. ~ We went and saw 5o first dates last night with Drew Berrymore and Adam Sandler and it was good. Pretty funny. Tomorrow afternoon we are going to see The ...
