Month: December 2004

Why yes, Christmas is good. I walk into my messy workroom, clean up a few things and notice a box on the floor, where the pappasan used to be. For some odd reason I open it up. Lots of odds and ends, my Anglo-saxon pocket primer, and….*drum roll please* my reading glasses!!!!! Oh yeah, and my cardholder with the really hot sheriff’s number in it. So, now I can see both near and far, as my backseat movie watching glasses are in my car, and my reading glasses can now reside in my computer case again. Yippee!!!!

Happiest of holidays to all my friends. I know I missed one, that was early in November, but you were all in my thoughts. And for my boys overseas, you are in my thoughts daily. I will never forget about you.

And the bastards that get to run up to Germany *raspberry* in your direction for going without me!

Scorpio for this week:

A few years ago East Timor was described as an “unimaginable, apocalyptic ruin” by UN peacekeepers. More than 200,000 people had died during a 25-year struggle to separate from Indonesia. But after finally gaining its independence, the new nation is now prospering in peace. With this as your inspiration, Scorpio, identify the most intractable and painful problem in your life. Now imagine that in the next ten months, you will transform it as dramatically as the people of East Timor did theirs.

I think I’m already on track with that one. Though, what I’m going to have to patch up afterwards is something to be discovered.

Ok, so there is definitely one thing I do like about my military boys. They can appreciate a girl in cammies. Weird, but cool, as I find them quite comfy to lounge around in.

Note: Must visit the poison family for some digis.

Oh yeah, another interesting note. The other day, got a call at work from our material guy. He wanted to know if we wanted the new Army digi pattern. SL asked what it looked like, WT responded with, “just like the Marine, without the black and EGA.” SL looked at us, “Nah, no sense in carrying the same thing with a different name.” Poor Army. Though, I would like a pair of their new boots. Verra nice. Speaking of which, I need to polish my para boots, and start wearing them again.

Ok, now for a real update….

This day was built on crack. Seriously. My only downtime was during lunch, and the end of the day before leaving. Coffee didn’t do it, and I might as well have forgotten to eat. Oh yeah, Frank showed up, again. I can’t recall if I’ve explained him, or not, so let me give the background on him

It was funny, walked outside to head to industrialreich‘s b-day dinner. Took a whiff and commented that snow was coming. My Scotsman said I was wrong, I just looked at him and said, “It’s a northern thing, you wouldn’t understand.” Got to the restaurant, and lo and behold….

I saw snow!!!!!! We got snow flakes!!!!!

Ok, so yesterday was, um, interesting. To give the background…WT has this cute little EMT that has been flirting him up, and vice versa. She came in on Wednesday, 3 times, and the last time was to wait for him to show up. He finally gets there and she’s all happy giggly again (she squeaked when MM mentioned him the first time she came in). So they’re off collecting stuff for her, and WB and I are standing at the register and this conversation follows:

WB: So, do you think he has a chance with her?
ME: Yes.
WB: I don’t think he should call her.
ME: Why not?
WB: Something that was said.

Now, given the number of times she’s gone sour on any interest he has, I’m starting to fume. I love WT and think that any girl who shuns his attentions is an idiot, even if the interest is only in friendship. There’s also the issue of her projecting on to other people. It didn’t surprise me that she said this, but it did irritate me when it was quite obvious this girl was interested in him. Anyway, onto Thursday night…WT and I were waiting for food, and sitting around chatting it up, apparently WB said something to him that got his goat, so I mentioned what she said to me, verbatim. Pissed him off, because it’s the second time she’s done this. The next day, she brings up the topic of his EMT and he mentions his interpretation. She blows up asking what I said. He repeats, verbatim, and she proceeds to say that I was the one that asked the question and she gave a nod in the positive. Now, yesterday….She’s pissy when she walks in, completely ignores my “Good Morning” and sits and fumes for a while. She chooses to walk up to us (WT and I) while I’m on the phone with a customer, so of course I don’t hear her. WT repeats what she said, and we laugh. Why? Because she is placing the blame on me and not admitting to what she said. At lunch, she comes in and blows up at me, saying how low and egotistical I am, and how stupid I am for repeating what she said and lying about what she said, not listening to what I was trying to say. I ask her if she wants me to quote what she said, and she walks out and slams the door. SL tells her to stop yelling, and we can take it outside, but not inside around customers. Fair enough, he comes in and tells me the same, I say cool. Surprising, eh? Even I was amazed that I didn’t stand up and directly confront her. Anyway, so the rest of the day, I treat her like nothing even happened, pissed her off even more. So she’s accusing me of trying to start crap because I’m leaving, and me saying, WTF. Not starting anything, wasn’t even expecting WT to even say anything to her. But seriously, I fess up to the shit I say about people behind their backs when it gets back to them, and all she could do was turn it around and say I was the one saying it. Honestly, she knows that neither WT or I like her, and whatever she says about one of us will get back to the other. Even our latest additions of co-workers commented how they knew I would never ask a question like that, especially given that I was going to get her number for him if he wasn’t able to make it in. Hell, the question itself was a statement in the negative. Bitch…

In other news…
the _gothfather_, threw a wonderful Christmas/Holiday party last night. Thoroughly enjoyed by all, including my Scotsman and I. Very well done.
