The indescribable musings of a demented man who watches too much Discovery Channel

onight, I had a good time. With the exception of an unattractive braless woman simulating sexual acts with her equally unactractive male companion who felt sunglasses were required in the building. Did I mention it was night? To people who wear sunglasses at dark, you're not cool. You're not coming off as mysterious. You look like a dumbass. And your both grossing us out!

Enough of that. I would have been fine if my hot date wouldn't have kept pointing it out. It was like a car wreck, horrible but you have to look.

I got an email fro my boss today. I know, I shouldn't be checking work email at home, but I do get personal stuff there. And there was a joking statement about favoritism in our work group. Mostly made in jest, but with underpinnings of some issues that some seem to feel in our work group. (Ryan you can't be spreading this around BTW, or I'll make you short stay in the sand box miserable). It made me think back to my days with Fedex...

Time out, I have to digress here. I just heard a commercial for a Hummer (the SUV) and its the same music as the Captain Morgan commercial. I find that humorous, and I expected some one to get out of the H2 and strike the Captain Morgan pose.

OK, back to the favoritism. Back at FedEx, that was always an issue on the SFA (management evaluations). And more often than not, I never claimed that as a big issue (only once I think i put it down as an issue). Mainly because I think I was on the good side of favoritism. But no more so than those who did their jobs and went above and beyond. In such cases, the people who seemed to cry "favoritism" the loudest are those who do the least, or work the hardest at avoiding doing actual work.

I think a similar situation has developed here at Whiskey Oscar Alfa. By chosing individuals who in management's evaluation is the best for the task, we now opened the door to favoritism. I, when I first started here, was sneered at ebcause my first familiarization trip includes 3 days in Hawaii and a day in Vegas. Why did I get that?? I asked if I could do it and was told yes... shocking I know! When others woud bring it up, I often asked if they had requested such a trip... well, no.

Moving on, Grace made a suggestion tonight to me. And on the drive home, I was kind of rolling it around in my head. Basically it involves calling up a girl who I haven't talked to in a while and maybe seeing how things progress. (Don't worry, its not A). I'm not sure how that will go. She was a nice girl at a bad time... and I was sort of obsessed with some one else at the time. But i don't know if I can swalllow my pride and call... or even what to say. More pondering is required.

I've had 16 views and nothing written over the last couple days. Y'all can say hi!! I only seem get messages from annoying girls with porn sites lately. And I really do prefer people with more substance to talk to. Now if you have substance and a fabulous ass, I really want to meet you! I'll probably fall madly in lust, but thats ok.
