The Cheesecake is Rich

So, it’s that time again! ::big inhale:: “Okay, no, they haven’t gone out yet. Which location did you work for? Okay, what’s your name? Yes, I have your address as 123 Any Street in Cheesecake City. Oh, okay, what’s your new address? All righty, can I get a phone number just in case? Great! Okay, [...]

I am basically out of things to say. I am looking toward a future – two futures, actually – and I don’t really know which way to go. I can’t even put together the words to explain what I mean. I can do nothing and maybe things will work out and then maybe things will [...]

So, this morning I made up a song to sing to the dogs. I am willing to bet the meaning is transparent and possibly universal. Wanna hear it? Here it goes: “I, I, I, don’t want to go to work today! I, I, I, want to sit on my ass and play! I, I, I, [...]

If you’re calling your former employer to track down a payroll check, and you get voicemail, do not leave a message where you manage to both ramble in Valley Girl-ese and speak so quickly that they can’t entirely understand your name or your mailing address (“Oh mah God, where’s my paycheck?”).

It doesn’t look impossible (yet, points out the little dark part of my head, the part that Googles in its free time). More testing in August, we’ll [...]

So, yesterday I had to lower everybody’s pay rates. Mine, the Almighty D’s, Gwen’s, Stefania *and* her Toady’s. Everyone. Managers I like, managers I hate. It hurt so bad to do that. I thought I might take a little glee when I lowered our Bonus Controller’s, but no.  I folded the report so I could [...]

I would like one of the following tomorrow: 1) Massage 2) Appointment with chiropractor 3) A large needle in my spine so I can’t feel anything below my belly button. So, Gwen, my boss, asked me to help her clean out our company’s warehouse. The warehouse is approximately a billion feet by a trillion feet [...]

So, guess whose employer had a huuuuge reduction in force (RIF) yesterday? Guess whose employer RIF’d the owner’s son? Guess whose employer still employs ME? Yeah, I know. Weird, huh? Anyway, it was ugly at work yesterday. All week, there have been closed doors all over the place and it’s made me want to jump [...]
