I just finished eating fried chicken (god help my cholesterol count) while reading this MB, so now there is chicken grease all over my brand new mouse and keyboard. Of course, the chocolate chip cookie crumbs that I dropped into the keyboard last night probably isn’t helping matters any.
I was running late and didn’t have time to pick up a bagel, and the machine at work was out of coffee cakes, so I had to eat this really awful artificially flavored cheese danish for breakfast.
We’re supposed to get a lot of snow tonight (12 inches or something like that). Of course, it was supposed to start at 2 pm. And then it was supposed to start “late afternoon”. Then it was supposed to start “tonight”. Except for a tiny bit of flakes on the drive home, there’s been nothing so far. Of course, if it doesn’t snow, I won’t have to deal with snow-idiots on the drive to work tomorrow, but I like snow otherwise.

Huddled under a blanket, hoping the lady upstairs who has the thermostat in her apt will TURN OFF HER GOL DANG SPACE HEATER so the heat for the rest of the building to kick on so the icicles can melt off my toes.

This is happening at my workplace and I think it’s going to be funny.
I have a subordinate who’s black. He supervises a number of other employees and frequently gets grievances and complaints from his subordinates. In fact, he gets more grievances and complaints by himself than the other eleven supervisors of his rank get combined. He claims it’s a racial issue; that people file things on him because he’s black. Myself and others have tried to tell him it’s not because of his race, it’s because of the way he treats people (his own union rep for example told him “you wouldn’t get all these grievances if you weren’t such an asshole”) but he doesn’t want to hear it.
Anyway, most of these grievances and complaints are squashed at one level or another, but recently due to the overwhelming number of them, our Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent (who are the #1 and #2 people at our facility) have begun to tell him he needs to straighten up. As always, he did not take it well and is claiming he is now being racially harassed by the Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent. He has started to file complaints with our Diversity Management Office, State discrimination offices, and the NAACP claiming that he is the victim of racial harassment from the Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent. Undoubtedly, everyone will soon be called in for interviews and hearings.
Now some of you may be asking where the humor is in all of this. It’s that I’d be willing to bet a month’s pay that this person has left one critical fact out of all his complaints that the Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent are harassing him because he’s black and that this fact will be a shock to everyone at the hearings.
Our Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent are both black.
I broke up with my boyfriend Wednesday night. Life would be a hell of a lot easier if our 7 month anniversary wasn’t just around the corner, and I didn’t have to keep seeing pictures of us taken at a dance last weekend.

Well, we got our snow. Started sometime last night and went throught the morning, stopped for a bit in the afternoon and then started up again and still going. We’ve got about 9" so far, I’d guess.
My brother, like a doofus, picked this weekend to drive down from WI. Haven’t heard yet whether he made it or not.
When I got out of work, my car was, of course, covered with snow. It’s perfect packing snow. I forced my sister/carpool partner to help clean the snow off. We threw snowballs at each other, of course. I brushed about half the snow off the car next to us, made about a dozen snowballs and piled them on the hood and windshield of the car. Then made about a half dozen more and “tosed” them onto the back of the car in front of that one. Then my sister lent my snowbrush/scraper to Steve the security guy to clean off his truck, so I had to make more snowballs (threw some at her and put the rest on the first that I’d put snowballs on earlier) until he was done and I could finish cleaning the snow off my car. I wish I could have been there when those two people came out and saw their cars had gotten into a snowball fight.
My sister voiced the opinion that Steve thinks I’m nuts.
