This is your life

and thats the way we do it we get a lil loopy of the ignorant fluid...

So apperarently, my posts aren't long enough. We'll see if I can fix it this time(probably not. Let's start with work. Last Friday, the guy I was training to be my replacement decided he didn't want to do it anymore. Great. So Dayne starts flipping, with good reason. Luckily, we interviewed a guy from one of the temp agencies, and he looks like he could be a keeper. Let's just hope he doesn't crap out like everyone else. I knew my job sucked, but I didn't realize it was this bad. The other two team leads actually had a fight about who would have to take it over. Not who would "get" to take it, but who "had" to take it. They even said they wouldn't take it for more pay. Dang nabbit. There was some good news though, the "Bitch" got fired. Thats right, the woman who made my life hell is no longer there. WOOHOO! but there is a "tails" to this little coin. Socrates is all funked up now, because I'm the only one who has more than half a clue of whats going on. All of a sudden, Staples is deciding that we can't backorder any items, but we still have to ship them on time. This basically means we're scrawd. Tuesday we have a meeting with the big wigs to discuss the fines we've been getting from staples. now, reading this, you may think, well fix it so you don't get any fines. Much easier said than done. For instance, we have to ship complete and on time. Those don't always go together. Also, there is a packet on shipping guidelines. When I say packet, I don't mean 3 or 4 sheets, this thing is a 43 page pdf file. Can you say Anal? I also heard through the grapevine, that if Socrates loses Staples, we lose Socrates. Personally, that would make me immensly happy, but the powers that be would be a little less than happy. And, as I've been on the account since the beginning, blame would fall completely on yours truely. Just like this week, somehow it was my fault that I didn't get twelve >2,500 lb orders out by tuesday. The problem is, I couldn't even see them until thursday...hmmm, anyone see a problem with this logic? I really hate Socrates...

Now on to sociality. I went on a great date last night, with a great girl. We went to see Kicking and Screaming, which was hilarious. First of all, it has Will Farrell. 'Nuff said. But, the kicker is, it also has "Da Coach". Thats right folks, Mike Ditka, the almighty, was in this movie. WOO! I couldn't help but laugh. The pre-movie part of the date was interesting too. We got to Northbrook Court at like 8:00, and the movie didn't start until 9:50. we decided to walk around a bit. We went into the store where I got Dawncandy her Blue moon sign, and we were quite dissapointed that they had no Notre Dame stuff, so we left. When I say, "we were wuite dissapointed", I mean mainly Megan. Then we went into a very random store, that had some college stuff. We went in, and lo and behold, there was a ND shot glass that she didn't have. We grabbed it, and continued to look around the store. There were some very neat liquor bottles that looked like they were pump action, but they didn't pump. Well, we were trying to figure it out, basically cause I think it would have drove me crazy, and the lady working came over. After maybe five minutes of trying and investigatin, Megan got hers to pump, followed shortly by myself and worker lady. So we looked at a few more things, including a "Tiffany's Table Manners for Teen's". Just so you know, don't blow your nose at the table. Anyway, we go to buy the glass and the lady figured it out to be 4.88. She then decides to figure out the change from a 20, but didn't use the calculator sitting right next to her. It would be fine if she was quicker with it, but it took her some time. I am not a genius by any means, but I know that if something is not exactly easy for me, I use a tool to help out. Maybe thats just me. We leave that store, and go into the love sac store. A love sac is a ginormous bean bag, but is filled with something that makes them uber comfortable. The place was being run by a couple of "free thinkers" which is the nice way to say, "Tree huggin', frisbee chuckin', gange smokin', dirty hippies". We walked in, Megan sat in a few chairs, and left. On the way out, they said thanks. Uh...no problem, we'll sit here anytime. So then we go and sit down. It's about 9:00 now, that means we have almost an hour of time to kill. We sat and talked for a while, and then went to the movie. So, there was the date, in a Pulp-Fiction-esque time line.

Today, I'm gonna go to dawns for a while to play some PS2, and then later her friend from school is coming over, along with some steves, a monika, and hopefully a Megan. This has been one of my longer posts...ever. I rock, but for now, my laundry is just about done, so I'm gonna make like a tree...and get the fook out(name the movie!) Later

...and act a lil stupid just in case you didn't knew it
