Yet Another Early Morning Post..ps where are you guys?


For some reason I chose to have curly hair again today. That translates to - I have ample time to screw around on-line. This morning is like every other curly hair morning, I search for random crap. I was successful. I have added two more links to the page. Scroll down and you'll see them...Google News, Free Katie, and the two latest ones: a link to the new Harry Potter Goblet of Fire home page and You Can't Make It Up. The latter is another blog I came across that's just too funny NOT to include. I have a feeling that this girl could provide endless hours of fun. Click on the link and scroll down until you get to the Tom Cruise section. She has a new take on the transcripts from Friday's Today Show interview. Am I the only one obsessed with this? The guy has to be the biggest moron to ever walk the planet. And should we even discuss Scientology? But I digress. The Harry Potter link is great as you can check out the first trailer to be released. I'm 29 going on 12. At least I feel young, right?

So, there's something I completely forgot to tell you all about my new manager. I hope you're all sitting for this one...and will try to control yourselves....my new manager used to be in THE FREAKING CIRCUS! Do I make this crap up? Oh no...this guy used to be a juggler, walk the high wire...oh good GOD this is who I am working for? He's freaking carny folk! Shoot me, shoot me now. No wonder I feel like I'm the smartest one in the room at times. What am I going to do? I cannot continue to do this day in and day out. I wish I had the transcripts from our sales meeting yesterday. You would all be absolutely dumbfounded. I'll try to give you a brief synopsis...

"The perception on the floor is that you guys are never out there...at happy hours...."
"Make me look good!!!!!"
"Sell the frickin station!"
"Sell the frickin station!"
"Make me look good!!!!!!"
"I know you guys have kids and other lives outside of the office, but I don't, so I'll be representing our team at happy hours."
"You guys need to make an effort to be at happy hours."

I am not making this shit up. We were reprimanded for NOT going to happy hours. Since when did being an alcoholic become a pre-requisite for this job? I never had this problem at HRP, why should it be a problem now? I'm paid for the work I do, not the face time I put in at happy hours. Hey, if they want to pay me for that, then maybe I'll reconsider, but at this time, they don't...so I won't. If anyone wasn't sure about the hell that I work in, I hope this post clears it up for you.
