Time For A Haircut…

This was my weekend off and it was a pretty restful one as well. I didn’t get out of bed until after nine yesterday morning and after working in the yard for a while I ended up taking a pretty long nap as well. Very nice. I haven’t had two days off in the same week since out barbecue back in the middle of July. I only have to work three days this week and then will end up being off on Thursday as well. Normally I would be off next Sunday but since the boss is going on his ten day vacation I have to work. The good thing is that I will have a manager trainee with me most of the week and all of my managers are working Sunday so I will shoot out of there pretty early.

I posted a while back that I had sent in my application for advancement last month. My area vice president finally received the stuff from corporate and he is supposed to be coming out to interview me later this week. I’m crossing my fingers. If I can get on the promotable list it might only mean a four or five month wait as long as I am willing to commute. I had the wife trim my hair a little while ago in preparation for the interview. The last couple of years I have kept it shaved but for some reason I have let it grow out a bit lately. It was getting a bit shaggy around the ears and back so she fixed me right up.

So Much For One Fucking Day Off

Today is my first day off in eleven fucking days. I started out getting phone calls at 7:09AM and it didn’t stop until just a few minutes ago. Neither the relief manager who was running my Bremen store or the manager in training that was running my Temple store bothered to fucking show up or call for staffing at shift change tonight so I got to spend my fucking evening running around staffing one store and getting bread and checks since nobody bothered to pull them out. The other store wouldn’t answer the phone so i had to drive there next.

When I got there the ringer on the phone wasn’t working and when I asked the employees if they had wondered why nobody had called them they just looked at me like I had two fucking heads. Goddamn brainless fucks.

Work Sucks…

This sucks. I had one day off last week. This week I had only yesterday and I had to go in for a couple of hours. I did not want to get out of bed today and damn sure don’t want to drive to work. It’s certainly going to be a busy day…

We had a power outage on Tuesday night at the store I will be at today. There is apparently no surge protector in the store so when the power came back on it fried the PSU for the computer. Wednesday is our weekly close-out day for payroll and everything else so our corporate office overnighted a computer. Just as soon as it comes in this morning I have to restore a backup from the old one and close out all of my numbers. They have to have the payroll information by 11AM so it cuts it kind of close on time.

Depending on how long my meetings last me today, I may try to get back online and post for a while.

Boy George Denied U.S. Visa

Apparently the government has denied U.K. performer and DJ Boy George a visa to enter the United States. Immigration is reporting that they denied the visa because George is facing trial in November in London on charges of false imprisonment from back in April of 2007.

Back in August of 2007 he spent five days cleaning up the streets of Manhattan in order to fulfill his community service for falsely reporting a break-in at his New York home.

Seems kind of stupid to me. It’s not as if he’s going to hide a bomb up his ass or something, although as someone that likes to whitewash the back 40 I guess you never know…

Watch deleted YouTube Videos

Update – August 9th 2008
I posted this link way back in March of 2007 and since then it’s had over 8,000 hits so I figured it was time to get rid of the crappy ads in the middle of the page and update this place!
The original link I posted to delutube has been removed. So I have done a bit of searching to see if there was something else useful around.
Supposedly FTVTeen works. Let me know how your results are with this one.
Undele Tube was pretty useful at it but when you visit the site it just says “under maintenance right now. Keep checking back.
WikiHow also has some information on how to access recently deleted YouTube videos as well. The Wikihow article is below:

I came across a site here that will let you watch videos that have been removed from Youtube, because apparently they are still there, just not listed. Sneaky but cool. Thanks to Vincent Chow.
