    More added to this blog after the line.

    Yes, another post, I just felt the need to write about my work day again.  A lot happened while I was home recovering from yesterday.  We had two run aways who are back already and one termination who has not been picked up yet. 

    Upon arriving at work, my optimistic self went up to boy one and said " so how was the movie?" his reply was a shrug.  Well that was not an I hated it, so I approached boy number two " how was the movie?" his reply, " A piece of Sh*t."  Alright then. 

    I learned later that the director said The Pursuit of Happiness was too dark and they ended up seeing Charlottes Web.  Apparently, they were the only kids there above the age of seven.

    Even though the boys are ungrateful little criminals, I still had to side with them on this one.  Now I have not seen either movie, but I did see the real Pursuit of Happiness guy on Oprah and the movie seemed inspiring. 

    Since the guy ended up being a multi- millionaire,  legally, by sheer tenacity, I would think it was a perfect movie for these kids.

    Therein lies part of the problem with my job.  The employees.  All the way up to and including the head honcho. 

    Here is an example of the insanity, there is a Russian guy who is the staff on duty, he is above me in rank.  I have blogged about him before and call him Igor.  Now as I stated, we had two boys run last night.  Before they were caught they `were engaging in some illegal drug use.  So they have to be urine dropped.  The great part about being female in my job is I never have to do a drop.  It really grosses me out.  I know it's just pee, but still...

    Anyway, I guess they couldn't get one of the kids to pee last night or this morning.  The boys need to line up outside on our way back from meals.  I carefully avoid a spray of spit as I nearly walked into it as it was flying through the air.  They are allowed to spit outside, and they take full advantage of it.  Anyway, the boy who had not had his drop yet, is yelling

    Boy:  I ain't gona stand in this stupid line, I gota pee!

    Igor:  Well you will have to wait five min.

    Boy:  F that man, I gotta pee, if I pee in my pants I'm gona run again

    Now, Igor could have left me with the other boys and walked the kid down and got his drop, but he choose to be stubborn

    Random boy:  hell no, if you pee your pants were all gona laugh

    Boy starts heading down to the dorm

    Igor:  You must stop, I am very serious mon, you must stop I tell you.

    Boy keeps going.

    Igor chases after him all the way into the boys room, where he relieves himself in the toilet. 

    Later...

    Igor:  you deed that on purpose mon, you have all morning to piss, you could wait five min.  I hold my pee for long time, now I don't have a drop for you, I don't know what ees gona happen to you mon, but it does not look goood.  I try to drop you all morning and you dan't do it

    Boy:  I don't f'n care you could have brought me down, I told you I had to go, SHE ( points to me) could have stayed up there while you walked me down, your just an A##hole on a power trip.

    Hummm.....

    I am going to a party tonight.  I am looking forward to it.  Going to get ready now, and will see you all soon.

    Edit:  I think xanga changes some words automatically when I did not click change in spell check.  that bugs me.

    Edit: 2

    The party was good, I am sober but caffeine high.  Semi ex is feeling good.  I like that we can join our friends as a couple.  It makes it so much more comfortable for me.  These are our showchoir families.  The really cool part is that all the college kids are home, and they were all so close in showchoir.  When they see each other they get so excited.  We all reminisce about the old show choirs past, the shows, the kids, etc... It's just an amazing experience the bonds we all form over the years.  Showchoir season we practically live to together, on busses, hotels, and floors of classrooms.  I guess it's like that in bands and maybe sports teams, but we just have found a tight nit group of people that are fun to be around and all the kids love each other so much.  The alumni come to watch the concerts when they are in town, hug the director, and all the kids still there doing what they wish they were still doing.  Anyway, I like when semi ex joins me, he's always gotten along with all the guys, and me, the women.  Of course certain people are not included ( like big mouth and her mousy husband) but her kids aren't really friends with ours.  Anyway, good times were had by all. 

    Semi ex said I looked really beautiful tonight.  Like I said he was feeling good, so I took that with a grain of two many beers salt. 

    My step Bro called tonight and made what I think is an apology, but a half assed one.  I accepted it, because were family for better or worse, and I'm not going to add any more stress to my fathers life.  He doesn't deserve that.  Some things you just have to let go of. 

    jnm and I were talking about our internet beginings ( he and his wife were at the party) He used to go to an over 30 chatroom and said it got weird and dysfunctional ( back when AOL was cool).

    I used to go in an All My Children Chat Room.  Talk about drama, it was a frikin soap opera within a soap opera.  One girl was livid that my friend pretended to be the real Susan Lucci.  She typed furiously about fraud etc.... give me a break it was all in fun.  Then I felt bad, because a mom of one of the kid actors came on and people were saying this kid was homely and couldn't act.  The poor kid was like five.  We did do some fun things on there.  We used to down load little wavs and share them.  They would be a Character saying things like : shut up: and that part was fun, but I ended on more than I am xanga, if that's possible and it had to go.  

    Xanga has been a blast to me, creative vitual parties, good laughs, supportive friends, who could ask for more than that?  Plus I get to spew out my strange thoughts and people actually listen. I find pictures that amuse me and violate all kinds of copyright laws, which is the bad girl in me rearing her ugly head. 

    So I'll probably write tomorrow, or maybe I won't, sleepytime Ambian is kicking in .........

     

    Good night

  • Party hearty, girl!  You deserve it!  Sheesh!

    Kathi

  • What?  You mean the heartwarming children's story of a pig whose life is saved by a spider isn't appreciated by teenaged drug users and gang-bangers?

  • Yeah, I'd think the Pursuit of Happyness would've been a great bet for them. If I'd given you $10,000, I'd have insisted on it.  Sorry.  :) t

  • PS...just noticed the new header...I LOVE it!  :) t

  • RYC: Sometimes, under pressure, I rise to the occasion.  Then, there's the rest of the times...

  • Charlotte's Web?????? :hammer::hammer:WHAT were they thinking?????? 

    Peeing on command - I have only ever had to do it a couple of times (NO not drug testing either) but I never had problem.

  • I am happy to be retire! :whew:  Party tonight. :celebrate:

  • OMG.... Charlotte's Web -- yeah that was a real treat for them... or some sort of insididous torture!!! I agree with your opinions on the powertripping idiots. :hammer:

  • A party?

    How I love parties.

    :dancingcow:

  • Thats cool yr trying to figure out those boys & what their doing & what they really need.  Some grownups dont have a clue & you can see they just dont get it. :hammer:  Sometimes I dont even know myself whats wrong. :question:  Kev

  • Funny story .. you really nailed Igor's accent!!!  Have fun at your party tonight .. but somehow I'm pretty sure you will!!! :dancingcow:  you!!  Alicia

  • Igor = Idiot!...........Oh well..............sounds like a Party is a GOOD idea after your week!  Enjoy!

  • Will Smith's character did keep plugging along...I'll give him that. It just took so long to get there that I was feeling desperate. But maybe that's what they wanted the audience to feel...to feel the despair.

  • isn't it odd the problems adults cause for themselves sometimes- like they forget they are adults and act worst than the kids. ryc: i haven't tried to sell my shorter stuff. i am concentrating on my novels- not that they are selling either... but rejection is just part of this writer's life right now! :hammer:

  • ps. thanks for the encouraging words tho! they are nice to hear!

  • I was in a college class once when the prof was getting us to alphabetize ourselves.  We got to the letter P, and prof asked whose name started with that letter.  "I'm a pee," one kid said.  We all laughed at him for how silly the wording sounded.:celebrate:

  • ryc: :hmmmmm: maybe... i kind of dread the learning process for marketing something new. i've just got screenwriting and novel marketing down. lol! i guess i'm a bit lazy! actually, i'm not a marketing person and find that part of the writing process the most difficult!

  • It was a heavy movie...

    party party party

  • I violate copyright laws, too...shhhh!

  • Pursuit of Happinesss has a child in the movie who has to suffer homelessness with his father. In some ways a lot of kids are not familiar with their father and maybe juvenile delinquents because of it.

    Sometimes emptying the bladder is not comandable. A lot of times if someone is watching it is hard to pee no matter how much you need to pee.Some folks can't use the bathroom if one person is also present.

    Well I was spending some time to moderate some of the xanga writing. Every so often a bit of profanity is present, some suggestion of violence but so far, no worst than I have read in your blog, yet... Judging the photos is tricky. I remember one photographer for our school yearbook showed an example of sneaking in symbolism. Yes sometimes a person can sneak symbolism like a phallus symbol but you never know.

    There is a subgroup of anorexia folks on xanga and it is gross. Too bad they don't allow the xanga moderators to coment: yes this is an example of anorexia and I don't like it....

  • ryc: Glad you understand, thank you. I used to have to do 'drops' when I worked as an admin asst at a treatment facility-of course women only.

  • ryc: feel free to visit! My floor is always available...lol

    That's a trip about jnm and the chatroom, my sis belonged to that aol over 30's group and was probably part of the dysfunction... (we all have at least one in the family right?)

  • I guess I'm a dork, 'cause I can't wait to see Charlotte's Web, and all my kids (11-15) are looking forward to it.  Then again, we are pretty strange.  LOL

    Our 21-year-old son met his sweetheart on a Sanctus Real message board two years ago. They are getting married in April. 

  • So Hubby tells you that you look good and you discount it. Poor guy just can't win with you can he.

  • It's amazing how a little power can change people. We have a woman at the store that I work at who was promoted to head chashier after a couple of months, and she has changed so much so fast. I liked her alot more before she was promoted.

  • What an asshat Igor is!!!  I totally agree Pursuit of Happiness would seem to be the Perfect movie for the boys to see, how stupid they took them to Charolettes Web instead!!!  Glad the party was fun, if my dh tells me I'm beautiful, I don't ? it, just enjoy it.....:flirty: & if he doesn't, well...... he doesn't enjoy it!!!:ROTFL:  Happy New Year!!!
