My Real Name

Today, I found out my real name. It is Ka-el aka Superman. Today was another bad day at work. For some reason, I am the only one that everyone come to solve problems. I can't take a break or eat lunch without someone wanting me to help them or do something. Sometime, I wonder if everyone around me (at work) is invisible and can not be seen, because my name is the only one that everyone knows. Somedays, I just want to take off the cape and boots and just rest. I am tired of lazy people. Somedays, I wish I could go to work with a baseball and hit a couple of homeruns on a lot of people heads. There is a lot of people at my job that just needs a swift kick in the as to jump start their brains or what they call a brain. Because there are days that this "superman" can not stop all of the speeding bullets or outrun a speeding train.

Christmas Cyber

"Twas, the night before Christmas, and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, except for my mouse.

No kids lived with me, so I thought I would chatter,
There'd be no damn reindeer, and no stupid clatter.

There'd be no fat elf, coming through my chimney,
I'll be alone, my computer and me.

I won't race to the window, to see him arrive,
I'll just sit right here.... with windows ninety-five.

There's no one I know, as I'm surfing around.
None of my regular buddies are found.

I went in some chat rooms, but quickly got out,
Age, sex, location is all that's about.

As, I was about to go check out the net,
I got an E-mail which I didn't expect.

A lady told me, she had read my profile,
And, asked, If I might like to chat for a while.

She said, if I didn't, then she would just leave,
But, she was so lonely, on this Christmas Eve.

She said, it's the first time, she'd ever been on,
But, she heard, computers, could be so much fun.

She said, the computer, was usually locked tight,
But, she said, her husband, left it on... tonight.

He's away on some business; He'll be gone all night,
So, she thought she'd use it, "I guess it's all right."

she started to tell me, about her whole life,
How, she was expected to be a good wife.

She talked of her anger, frustrations, and needs,
Because, she was forced, to do such silly deeds.

She talked on and on, from one thing to the next,
Then finally told me..... she was oversexed.

She didn't have sex, with her husband, she told,
He's always too busy, and getting too old.

Then, she wrote me something, that made my heart vex,
She asked me to teach her, to have cyber-sex.

I said, if she wanted me to, that I could,
Then after an hour, she got really good.

After five hours, my fingers were sore,
I told her, that I couldn't go anymore.

She said, that was fine, because she was tired too,
And anyway, her husband, soon would be due.

She said she would be on, the same time next year,
Then asked, if I wouldn't mind, meeting her here.

She said, only.... on this night, she could be found,
It is only.... this night, her husband leaves town.

She said bye, and signed off....and I had to pause,
I think I just cybered......with Mrs. Santa Claus!!!!

Issues

I have posted in a while. I have been dealing with issues at work. I have training a lot of new people and it is eating up a lot of my time at work to do my own job. When I work, I work at a fast pace and with me training people, I have to slow down to show them things. I don't mind training someone, but lately they have been giving one person after another and not giving me any time for myself. I told the personnel manager that I did not want to train people, but everyday I show up to work there is someone new waiting for me to train. I am left unprepared to show these people the ropes. Then, she will have me train two people at a time. I am tired. I need to quit. I am burned out at work. And the busiest time of the year for my job it coming at full speed and there is a lot of people not ready for it and I know I will have to pick up the slack. Man.........I AM FUCKED.

16. Sitting "Bare ass" on the copy machine will no longer be seen as "gross."

Every Morning

In Africa, every morning a gazelle awakens knowing that it must outrun the fastest lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning, a lion wakes up knowing it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. Moral of the story: It makes no difference whether you are a gazelle or a lion: When the sun comes up, you had better be hauling ass.

MAN I SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I have not posted in a while but things have been crazy at and home. First, I went to Eureka, CA. to help open a new Target. I was gone for three days. I loved it up there. I went out there with a good group of people to help out that store. The team from the Eureka Target was so thankful that we came to help them. They was willing to learn and work together as a team; something that is missing from my store. I really missed working in that type of environment. Our team had a great time there. Best of all, the district office paid for our rooms, food, and expense: so we charged everything to our rooms. But, I had to come back to my own messed up store. First, I get into a fight with a good friend of mine, at work, because his team screwed up my department while changing it around and he blamed me. They left aisles empty; garbage everywhere; just work undone. When I went to him about these problems, he blamed me for not help his team. When him and I was planning this reset out, I asked him if he wanted my help; he said "yes". Then, I told him that he needed to talk to my boss so that I could be scheduled to help him and his team. He asked once, got no answer, and did not follow up on it. But, it is my fault. I got angry when he said I was not a team player and the problems was my fault. I yelled at him. I was wrong for the way I reacted. But it pissing me off when anyone say I am not a team player. I help any and everyone that needs and asks for it. I push freight that is not mine. I help watch the cashiers to give breaks to supervisors there. I have pushed carts and help guests out of the store. I have help the security team subdue shoplifters. I have watched the phones when needed. I have helped out in other deparments when asked. I have done everything that have been asked of me. 90% of the people in that building would not do 10% of the things I do to help out. But I was that I was not a team player. I am sorry that I got angry at him. But he did not want to take responsibility for his team and their mistakes. It does not help that work has me stressed. I help train my peers. I am ready training one new supervisors for two weeks, but they decided it would be funny to have me start training a new one. So now, I have to come up a way to starting a new guy without going over the same stuff I taught the first trainee. Man, I am screwed. On top of that, I am that only Team Leader (supervisor) on my side of the store, because they fired one guy, another guy is on vacation for ten days, and they have not hired anyone for the two spots opened. So that means I have to take care of a whole side of a store while training two new guys. On top of that I have to figure out a way to patch up things between me and my friend. MAN I SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One Of Those Days................

Have you ever had one of those days you felt like breaking stuff? That was me yesterday and everyday I go to work. Yesterday when I got to work, I had to spend two hours in meeting about making the store better and we did not solve one issue. I had sit there and listen to the most insane babble coming of people; I felt like hit all of the stupid people upside of their heads with a rock. The main people that compain in these meetings are the ones who are unwilling to help do anything about the problems in my store. Then after the meeting, I found the plano team (people who changes departments around) fucked up my area. They no where close to being done before the store opened. Aisles ere set wrong. Carts of crap were everywhere. Trash was everywhere. I had to clean this shit up. I wasted my whole day cleaning up their mess. I hate stupid people.

Ponder This ..........Part 2

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

Recite at a play and play at a recital?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

Have noses that run and feet that smell?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

Why is the word "abbreviate" so long?

How can overlook and oversee be opposites while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?

How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?

If a 7/11 is open 24 hours-a-day, 365 days-a-year, why are there locks on the doors?

Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?

What is another word for "Thesaurus"?

If pro is the opposite of con, is progress the opposite of congress?

Why is it when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship it's called cargo?

STRESS

I need a vacation from people in my life. Too many people are stressing me out. I need to hop an airplane to Japan and stay for a month. I would love to stay there for a month to enjoy the culture, food, people and whatever else Japan has to offer. I need to get away from home and work for a couple of days and relax. I need "ME" time.
