His thoughts were scattered and he struggled to get them under control. Control was the order of the day and the only way he could manage to navigate around the inferiors that scurried around and made his life miserable. Sleep was the only escape from them; the sleep of the dead. He did not dream, for every waking moment in his life was a dream. The only relief from this waking dream was the brief respite he gained when he released one of them from their pitiful lives.

He was excited when he thought about the coming evening. He had been watching one in particular for several days, keeping tabs on her schedule. Her comings and goings were pitifully routine. He knew when she would be driving into the garage on any given night dressed in her flimsy clothing from the night out on the town. She was a slut. Mother would certainly never have approved of him being around her and it would brighten the world to remove her from it.

To be continued…Maybe

One of my cooks didn’t show up for work tonight. Fairly tense because for a little while there I thought I was going to have to go in and cook it myself. I ended up getting a waitress who can cook as well to do it. Actually it was two cooks, since the one that was scheduled is sick, so he traded with my other cook and then she didn’t show up. As far as I am concerned they both hung me, and they both know my policies on this, so someone else that just transferred to my store is going to end up with some unexpected hours this week and the two others can enjoy a nice small paycheck.

Asshats.

Right in the middle of Grey’s Anatomy too. Why did I allow myself to get sucked into this show anyway?

This splitting up my days off is weird. I went back to work today and didn’t feel like doing a damn thing. I managed to get everything done that needed doing prior to 2 PM, shot off to my meeting, and actually made it home by 5 PM. That’s great for a Thursday. So here I am. The wife and girls have gone to softball practice, so I figured that would give me the opportunity to catch up on some email and posting. I am also off tomorrow, that will be REALLY nice. I am keeping the four year old home with me tomorrow, so I won’t be spending the entire day blogging, but I am sure I will be able to squeeze some time in there somewhere.

I am in the middle of downloading and installing Windowblinds 5.5 from Object Desktop. It has been updated to be compatible with the 32bit version of Windows Vista. I mentioned the other day about Dreamscapes and Stardock Deskscapes. I made my own animated background the other day. I had the girls beating on the window shouting let me out, let me out, pulled that in from my camera, and converted the digital video to an mpeg that I am now using as my desktop background. Now it looks like the girls are beating on the inside of my monitor trying to get out. Pretty cool actually, and THEY loved it. I will try and get a capture of it tomorrow and upload it to youtube so you guys can see what Vista is capable of.

Anyway, it’s off to read email and click some links. I will post more later this evening I am sure. Not going back in for drawer change (for a change) so I will be around all evening if anyone wants to shoot the shit.

…I need to get off my butt and get ready for work. I am feeling really lazy today which sort of sucks as I will be cooking all day, and then have meetings all afternoon.

This is just awful. From Michelle Malkin:

A father killed his wife and four daughters in their sleep because he could not bear them adopting a more westernised lifestyle, an inquest heard yesterday.

Mohammed Riaz, 49, found it abhorrent that his eldest daughter wanted to be a fashion designer, and that she and her sisters were likely to reject the Muslim tradition of arranged marriages.

On Hallowe’en last year he sprayed petrol throughout their terraced home in Accrington, Lancs, and set it alight.

Caneze Riaz, 39, woke and tried to protect her three-year-old child, Hannah, who was sleeping with her, but was overcome by fumes. Her other daughters, Sayrah, 16, Sophia, 13, and Alisha, 10, died elsewhere in the house.

Riaz, who had spent the evening drinking, set himself on fire and died two days later.

Relatives broke the news to the couple’s son, Adam, 17, as he lay terminally ill with cancer at the Christie Hospital, Manchester. He died six weeks later.

I don’t care what religion you are or what you believe, but kiiling people just because they don’t believe in it as strongly as you do is just awful, or as Michelle puts it, monstrous. Oh, but this must not be one of the run of the mill muslims, he must be one of those rare birds known as an extremist, of which most muslims don’t belong. Yeah, right. Islam is all about converting the rest of the world, and those that aren’t converted end up as slaves, or dead. There are moderate muslims out there, and they need to take a long hard look at what their religion is promoting.

I have agreed to split my two days off over a three day period since my boss will have her son that lives in a different part of the state so I am taking tomorrow and Friday off. Unfortunately that means that I have to go back in tonight. Audits, inventories, a bit of cleaning as well. Don’t know what time I will be back, but since I can sleep late tomorrow I may be back online.

I haven’t had the opportunity to visit many blogs this evening since I have been working, so perhaps I will do that as well.

Right on the heels of this last investigation where I was accused of being a racist, I had another yesterday. Not discrimination, just stupidity. Remember when I fired those two people that I think were smoking post in the van in my parking lot before they came to work? That was back at the beginning of December.

Apparently the guy’s mother made good on her threat and complained to our office and they investigated me for abusive behavior. Considering that I was very polite to them the entire time, AND her on the phone afterward, there was nothing abusive there. The investigation is pretty much closed. I was just told that next time, not to give anyone any information (including parents) about why I fire them. Legally I don’t have to and in Georgia I don’t even have to have a reason. I just felt that since the guy was 16 his mother should know what’s going on.

What I didn’t tell her and I am not going to get involved in, is the fact that he (16yo) and the other ex-employee (28yo) are still dating. The guy that did the investigating said that the mother was very worried about this being a small town and it getting out why he was fired, and accusing me of slander, as well as threatening further legal action. Whatever. They don’t want to mess with the slander thing. I don’t generally talk about why I fired people, except here, and of course no names. If she wants to keep it up, this whole pedophile thing is going to blow up and I will make sure that I am the one that starts the fire. They do not need to be fucking with me.

…as I have one in the nut house, one in the hospital, another called in because she has the sniffles, and my night shift cook left at 2 AM becuase her belly hurts. If there is something really wrong that is cool, but she has been with me three weeks and already missed four days of work. She’s not long for the unemployment line. I made the waitresses cook the shift rather than going in at 2 AM considering that I cooked 15 hours yesterday and I am the only cook this morning.

I think right off the bat I am going to cover all of the above people for the rest of the week and if they show up they can just take an extended couple of days off. I hate fucking drama at work and this doesn’t fit into my nice little plan, so I will make it fit.

My afternoon cook may still be in Savannah. Hopefully not, I worked in his place this weekend so that he could move his mother and I really don’t feel like doing any more doubles.

I suppose I should get going, but there was ice all over my car and I wanted to let it warm up for a few minutes before I go, thus the last minute post this morning.

I ended up working about 15 hours today, so I am pretty beat. I think I will answer some comments, don’t know how much more posting I will manage today though. It’s just going to have to be a light day.

I am still cramping, hopefully this will get better as the day goes along. I have to work again until shift change tonight although I may be able to get out of there slightly early. My boss would probably come work for me, but she has one manager off and another on vacation this week, so things are pretty much locked in for her. If I tried hard I could probably get myself covered, but I had to pay three cooks yesterday just to replace me, so i can’t really afford it. Almost 21 hours of pay that I had not planned on hitting my payroll this week. I really need to save some money there somewhere but just don’t see any way right now. That’s the biggest issue for me, and why I almost never call in sick. I get paid off my profits, and that was over $150 that I had to spend just because I have the shits.

I may be able to borrow one of the manager trainees this morning though, which would be nice as that wouldn’t cost me anything. I’ll know in an hour or so if I have any extra help. I’m crossing my fingers.
