My job sucks more than yours

[Drunk Monk]

Work morale is at an all-time low. My crew for the last 20 years is doing their best to rally, to stay tight.  I can hardly focus. Worst writer’s block ever. This is a new hell, a brand new fucking hell.

We went through a blood-letting recently. I want to get an inspirational "Hang in there Kitty" poster for the remainders.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Is your position stable?

Those are great.  I should get one for our new office space.  Then again, we have walls of large artwork that must come down, so maybe not.

gettin some maintenance done on the chariot.  now that we're a one car couple, gotta keep the crv in top shape.  given my impacted schedule with my mom's care, i'm here at the dealership because i could get an appt and there's wifi so i could catch up on work.  what with two tournaments over the next two weekends and our deadline in two weeks, plus the holiday and a screener on tues, i'm stressing being behind.

of course, the wifi here sux. you'd think with the amount i'm paying for service here there'd at least be decent wifi. it keeps crashing out my docs.  dammit.  

so now i'm posting here.   my plan is ruined.  i guess i'll work at home this weekend.

I take back what I said about the WiFi - it’s an issue with my old file and this feckin chromebook word processor.

For the sake of comparison is it 103° where you are working?

[Greg]

Sorry. I'm in a mood. Could be the heatstroke.

(No matter I tried to write heatstroke, auto correct demanded breaststroke.)

Autocorrect’s demands are getting...personal

[Greg]

No shirt.

back in the salt mines.  

i woke super early and got here early.  so far, no one has pissed me off.  i'm in that post-vacay mood, clinging to the leftover bliss of Yose-Diego, waiting for some mediocre triviality to bring be crashing back into my mundane work world.  

at least it's friday.

[Drunk Monk]

So I was tasked to increase sales at MartialArtSmart.  I launched an updated logo, which missed deadline due to our management and IT by two weeks.  I designed a promotional campaign for black friday week - did you see it?  Yeah, it didn't happen.  The Jr. Claw left on a cruise with his family and the remaining crew wasn't able to pick up that dropped ball.  Now I'm tasked to get some new stock, but not from our PRC suppliers.

MAS has been getting some odd items lately - fantasy swords, cheap cheesey crap, wall-hangers - from this supplier in TN (our east coast office/warehouse is in TN).  It's one of those suppliers that makes the Knife Channel look like PBS, complete with a section full of 'Trump gifts'.  srsly.  But our on-site table vendors do really well with this crap.   It moves at tournaments really well, and the mark-up is exorbitant because tournament customers tend to be impulse buyers and don't realize they can get the same thing online for a third of the price.  Don't tell, mmkay?  So I just spent the morning slogging through their site, finding some new potential items.  

Such is my last day before the T-day break, surfing past Trump bowie knives, looking at silly ninja weapons, survivalist gear and GoT swords, and making a MAS xmas list, all while listening to my mom make horrible hacking noises (a bad habit she's developed), bark unfinished orders (like 'don't forget to get the stuff'), and watch that ridiculous ER reality show (today's episode was about some asian stoner dude who got his johnthomas stuck in a camp stove, and no, I know what you're thinking, it wasn't me).  It would've been fun if PPFY was with me and we were MST3King said weapons, but all alone, it was a rather painful process.  

At least my coworkers pay their taxes.

In the spirit of the season, Fuck you.
