Retirement!

Yup, on Sept 7th I retired....my way!

Luncheon with the girls....in on all the gossip.  Looks like the "potty" saga continues.  Mgmt has taken away all paper towels.  They feel everyone is throwing the paper towels in the toilets and that's what is causing them to overflow.  So...............they took away all the paper towels and issued one CLOTH towel per sink per day for 50+ people.  Ya, right.  Well I guess someone got a bit peaved and called OHSA.  I have not been able to figure out why (laugh laugh) someone would call them!  Everytime I think they have finally lost it, I am amazed at mgmt's new and far more bizare antics.  

Chew-bacco and bizzbang out of town at the same time.....glory glory halleluyah.  Zorba has to check my info with the newbie.  Chew-wanabe screws up and finds a way to make it DB's fault. Even got Zorba involved to make it official.  Bissbang returns on Tuesday and Chew-bacco on Wednesday..,psychotic break day!

Since they are experiencing daily "potty" problems, it makes me think the new place can't handle all the crap ....

So today "Going postal" gets promoted.  Ya Ya's place is dark.  Chew-bacco hangs up on DB.  Some unknown person changes "1st" to "RUSH".  Boy George searches for cut sheets.

Well, another one bites the dust!  Gotta wonder....was it by choice or by request....the ya ya man is now a no no.

Off to watch the peacocks

I am now mobile!

Try this one on for size....I got suspended for following my bosses bosses bosses guidance for a project.  No one asked my opinion, no one talked to the witnesses.  Senior management blindly backed my boss's statements without question.  He claimed I was insubordinate because I would not follow his direction over the senior managers direction.  This was last July.   Now move forward to now, March.  An outside sales person signs a contract with a customer without talking with corporate.  The account is worth approximately $180K in yearly sales.  By signing the contract he placed the company in a position that exposes them unnecessarily.  He falls in the "young white male" catagory.  He is not going to be suspended.  What I did didn't put the company at risk for anything.  How is this fair?

How bad is it?  It is so bad that those that were enemies are now forming true friendships and rallying in communication .... and laughter!

It was truly amazing today.  Fishface takes no responsibily for anything and turns things around to fall on someone elses shoulders.  Why are some people like that?  It's not their job, it wasn't them....you get the picture. 

I gotta tell ya, today was a winner.  We get an email from Chew-bacco announcing a customer tour/visit occurring today.  The email tells us to not utter turret-like outbursts when they are in the building.  However, no mention of refraining from "chewing" and spitting in waste baskets and other such containers.  Is it just me or should the "chew" issue be addressed also?

Ever wonder why men with rather out of shape bodies feel compelled to make fun of muffing top women?

Today, bizzbang displays his severe insecurity by putting a time limit on one of his subordinates' future visits with a vendor.  Also, the infamous Chew-bacco gets his ears pinned by inside sales.  Fishface is sporting a military hair cut.

I should introduce the characters you will be meeting.  Let me begin at the top: 
Bone-apart is one of the owners
Chew-bacco is the general manager
Bizzbang is head of my department
Chew-wannabe is head of the other building
Fishface is the one responsible for the quality
Newbee is obviously the new kid on the block...young, pretty and single

That should hold you for now.  I'll introduce more as we go on.

An truly amazing day of rectal-cranial inversion displays...

We are about to embark on another week at Dicksville, Inc.  Can't wait to see what the troops will pull this week!

News flash:  Bizzbang rides again!
