I'm done...

Im now on holiday for 2 weeks... harrah.... can ya tell im excited, not really i tired, can't be bothered doing anything and probably won't no cash which of course sucks.
I'd have prefered an easier past few days at work but fat fooking chance, my colleague who I covered for the 2 weeks previous to this one announced on monday that he was leaving for another job, not too bad, unless you consider during the 2 weeks he was off 2 of the night/weekend controllers left as well as the driver who went around checking remote sites, we knew he was going, figured the other 2 - they left without so much as a bye, or good luck. The new driver we got lasted 10 days :| not really a hard job, check 5 places, lock up the main office, set the alarm, unset in the morning and open up..
So last week I was busy showing / training as best as I could the 2 new starts, we had a 3 man nightshift team that works 7 nights + 2 weekend shifts between them.
Of course with my colleague being off didn't have access to the material he handed out which meant EVERY PROCEDURE that is carried out in the control room had to be written out and then checked and reworded to LOW IQ level or there about which PISSED me off a TAD. I mean I could just write 1 procedure to cover all the sites, that could be handed to them, site numbers are all in a folder... NO HELL FUCKING NO! I had to write: One for Intruder / Vehicle on a site, One for a fire on a site, duplicate because we have working / non-working (mothballed) remote sites, get all the site number, all the managers names & number. How the barrier is worked the PHONE numbers of Both the RT (which are speed dials on the phone in front of them). EVERY MINUTE FUCKING DETAIL had to be written down and logged..
I mean Im not the freaking supervisor but I HAD to do it, my colleague was that and he done a little.
Oh this was on top over all the other work I had to do as well like :
Test bits of kit, wire stuff up, figure stuff out, drop kick a customers alarm panel so that it would set properly without a long winded way of setting it..
I was meant to go today and program another alarm panel for the same customer on a different site but that went out the WINDOW cos of these PROCEDURES, it's all PROCEDURES, PROCEDURES, PROCEDURES with someone and it's to be done HER WAY! no matter how well it worked before.
I was gonna do another post about me but Im just a neurotic fuck up, maybe my mother should have listened to the doctor at the time and got rid of me..

Klacteal or should that maybe Kraznox...

Can ya tell I've been watching "The Ant Bully", well maybe just a little...
Okay my applogies to Sharon and Melonie for no recent comments on their respective blogs, I didn't realise there was new post I just got the "old" page as for some reason my freaking nice browser FORGET rule number #1 - Check for new material and fetch it for me!
I'll let it slide this time.
Thankfully some good news - I'm finally getting more than 2 days off in a row :D "praise the mother" - my 2 weeks holiday begins 4pm on Friday :D so from then until 10am on the monday 2 weeks after that I'll be selectivly ignoring my mobile (cell) phone - gotta love being able to set a specific ring tone to a entries in the phone.

It is possible to smile and cry at the same time.

I was reading the daily humor letter I get and this was in a section entitled "Daily Kudos" which IM gonna directly Quote

Have a tissue ready both guys and gals! This is love at
it's purest! Take a break and watch both of the video links.
The inspiration you'll receive is the reward.

This love story began in Winchester, Mass., 43 years ago,
when Rick was strangled by the umbilical cord during birth,
leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs.

"He'll be a vegetable the rest of his life," Dick says doctors
told him and his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old,
"Put him in an institution." But the Hoyts weren't buying it.

In 2005, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their
24th Boston Marathon, in 5,083rd place out of more than
20,000 starters. Their best time? Two hours, 40 minutes in
1992 -- only 35 minutes off the world record which happens
to be held by a guy who was not pushing another man in a
wheelchair. "No question about it," Rick types.
"My dad is the Father of the Century."

Re: Happy Friendship Day

Thank you to all those who sent me e-cards or left comments on the post :)
I would have thanked you sooner but to be honest I've been too tired to post.
Okay hold it right there, I have a good reason for it, called working 12hrs and having to get up at 5:30am and not getting home till around 8pm and having to filter and report all the spam I've been getting (see previous rantpost about that).
I mean I've even neglected my FAVOURITE online game - World of Warcraft...
So I am here honest, I've been leaving comment here and there.
Now it's just me and something nice and Ice cold from the mini-fridge...
I got the weekend to recover before I do it all again next week, the joys of having a covering a colleague.

Warning! Warning! Warning!

This is a general announcement, in case I haven't made this before..
Some Stupid Mother FUCKING ASSHOLE SCRIPT PRICK is SPAMMING e-mail using random names but MY EXACT E-mail address, not my Hotmail / yahoo / AIM one but private (well ISP based) e-mail address, also notice a small variation same name but with a "d" on the end, if you follow.
So if you recieve an e-mail proclaiming to be from me that doesn't use my actual full name in it then Trash it, do not click on any links just trash - don't report it as spam other wise ligit e-mail from me won't get through :( I may try and see if I can use a similar but alternate name before the @ in the address line will still have my full name in it.
The only reason I say this is well lets just say i've bounce a few in the over the last couple of weeks but today I come home for work (after 12hrs of being there) and mailwasher states 64 email - 54 were trash... about half were from my exact email address or the varient mentioned above..
To the MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLE SPAM SCRIPT PRICK - I hope your balls drop soon or better yet drop off..

Friendship Day is August 6

Well the title says it all doesn't it...
Why not send your friends who you've not seen in a while a card, okay maybe a bit close to be sending a card but it's the thought.
Another possibility is using an e-card site such as www.angeleyes2.com which is 1 of many.
Now if your feeling generous and wanna say something a bit more special there are websites out there like www.ftd.com and many local florist have websites you can order through, okay so you need some form of bank card that's the only down point.
Okay enough about that from me.
