Okay, I need to get this off my chest.
1. Clown that works in the pressroom full time here, finds out he's got a 401K plan from a place he worked ten years ago. Turns out it's worth $ 40,000. I might have noticed when I left there. The idiot turns around and tells me he and his wife are going to open an internet store. I just smile and nod. (I have a better chance of actually getting hit by lightning standing by the chemical rack than he has of succeeding with that). This particular, um, character, for lack of better word, was arrested about three years ago for being pretty well shithoused (drunk, for those of you younger) and chopping celery and threating to cut his girlfriend into little pieces. He got off pleading nolo contendre (no contest). He took anger management classes. I really don't believe he passed. He threw a hammer at the back door last week, because the press pump got clogged. He scares me.
2. Dumbshit landladies boyfriend has a load of mulch dumped right in front of my drive way. Can't even get my bike through. Turns out it was dumped at 9:30 a.m. yesterday. He didn't work all day. I walk up to the house and ask him what the deal is. He says she said I'd take care of it. I get on the bike and ride down to the Hospital where she works (floor secretary) and ask her what's going on. Her reply: "Oh, he said he was going to do that today. I'll handle this.". We'll see tonight.
3.You know, I work for a teriffic guy. He's a real nice person inside, would give you the shirt off his back. He got me interested in computers again. But he opened a graphic design and printing company. And guess what?
He's colorblind.
That's like Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder becoming professional photographers. Geez, what a nightmare. I brought a business card up front with a questionable ink mix and discussed it with the office manager (a girl named Mandy, who has an excellent eye for color) and he leans over and tells me that "that black is too gray".
We just stared at him.
*sigh*
I hope tomorrow goes better.

Move forward, not backward, and never forget..</P>
