Some mind frustrations
- Work: I'm sure a lot of other people deal with a lot more 'fuckery' at their work, but there's enough at my job to make me spend an hour and a half looking for jobs tonight alone. The type of 'fuckery' i've been experiencing revolves around how I am trying to be proactive about particular things at work that aren't necessarily my duties, but nonetheless directly affect my own job duties, so much so that if this stuff is not done it makes my job twice as hard. I know not to overstep boundaries, but if the simple act of stacking material in a neat and organized way that has been in my way and spread all over the floor for over a week is detrimental to my manager's 'job' then he must not realize what I do at my place of business or care. He tried to say he was busy today and that we did a lot of business, but most of it from 2 large cabinet orders which don't take long at all and putting about 1/10th of the pile of crap I was organizing out onto the sales floor. His issue was inventory control for this material my issue was it's in my way, so tell me where to put it so I can do my job and then it escalated to some choice words from my co-worker who was subsequently sent home early for leaving me a man down for the rest of the afternoon. His beef was mine and if we try to do something as simple as organizing things and he's telling us to stop but at the same time doesn't have an answer for us to where to put all this shit in my way or an answer specifically on why we should stop then he's just simply rope-a-dopin' me for shit he should have got done long before it became an issue and a massive pile of shit in my way affecting my duties. The plan they eventually came up with at the end of the day was basically the same thing they've told me over other things I have done proactively in the past....Don't touch this stuff until we figure out how to deal with it and then we'll tell you where to move it. Apparently I'm a zombie to them with ideas that make no sense to them that does a job that is essentially of less value to their "work."
- Credit Card Rates: I'm no stranger to debt and this has been a long time coming. I got my APR reduced from 13.99% to 9.99%. I want it lower and I know I can get it lower. I'm thinking of a balance transfer. I got about 4Gs in credit card debt that I want to knock out essentially by the end of the year. How I'm gonna do that? It'll be very tough considering my salary at my two jobs. I'm trying to aggressively save with stocks but I'll have to re-organize my savings focus to just pay off debt as well and re-organize my retirement accounts, sell some high dollar things I have, save for a new/used vehicle, and re-invest as much as I can in a non-investment 60 month Roth IRA that matures this September. I also am trying to invest some time in having a life too on an extra tight budget.....although I threw dollars into MegaMillions.....isn't exactly fun or life-thrilling and I worry that I think about this shit too much my brain will explode. One thing I've learned, having cheap skate friends and a limited social life is a benefit for me right now.
- Shooting People: Could this shit stop already? I don't get this whole Obama/Guns paranoia and all these stupid murder/suicides. Recession makes people crazy as hardships happen but being the gun nut "within" before Americans go crazy is something our society should seriously re-evaluate and how fucking stupid it is to embrace guns the way we do. I wholeheartedly endorse Chris Rock's idea, keep guns legal, charge $10Gs a bullet.
- Weather: All right, enough with the cock-teasing Mother Earth, make it Spring! How are you gonna let all the dogwoods and cherry blossoms blossom and then dip into freezing temperatures again?!? You 86'ed my sweet basil and I'm wondering if my other herbs will survive through this week. I think there's been two good days so far in spring and then about 5 days of what looked like another nice day but then immediately changed by some 20 degree temperature drop, wild wind, or thunder or rain storms. I saw flurries this Tuesday alone. Flurries!
- High Blood Pressure: Probably everything above is a contributor to this, but what pisses me off, my brother's BP is normal and healthy and he's heavier then I am and probably has gained 30lbs in the span of 3 months! Granted, he'll probably have Type II diabetes within 10 years and will never beat me in a foot race, no matter how many snacks they put on the other side of the finish line, but now I got to cut out salt and get out and just run or walk or jog and I want the weather to be something other then shit to do so in. It's hard to get motivated, but I do look at my brother and think, "That could be me." And that's probably fucked up but I don't want to look like a character from the "Far Side" no matter how perfect my blood pressure would be.
