Predictability is a SIN

Well, we’re in for it…three times this week, Pinochet’s left early. Like I need this? I spent the last 4 out of 6 weekends here doing Video and Sports orders without a thank you, a smile, an acknowledgement or any overtime pay. I am happy that there are presently 3 lawsuits going on against the bullshit in this place, but it’s garbage in, garbage out.
This is what you get for hiring a cheap, substandard workforce. Actually, I wouldn’t call it a “force”, I’d call them “entities.” I’m still trying to figure out if some of them are human.

Be quiet, obedient, expedient, look ahead, pump out the work silently and you are given a carrot. If you can grab it off the stick. Individuality and sense is not the way to go around here. It’s about fitting in, following lock-step, conforming, trusting the powers that be. NOOOO! I won’t, I can’t, I refuse. Like I’ve said, my dignity will not be bought and sold. As Badu sings, “Times A’Wastin….”

Worlds is over, the champions have been decided. A quick update to JWe’s site shows he’s learned from the press biting him back. It must be nice to be called a failure by someone sitting at a desk every day who does less and makes more money. Oh wait! That describes my existence, too. No wonder I love Johnny so much. We’re practically kindred spirits in that sense. We do the work, they just criticize. What a big bag of bullshit that is. I am happy, however, that SkyRink will be offering free Sundays from April-June. Since I lived in Abe Stark during seven years of Sundays, this will be like going home. It’s gotta come from me, my maven is really, really busy. I have a notebook where I wrote down all the lessons from my previous master. I should refresh with flashcards or something. Ultimately, I have to get some of this weight off. Why not skate some of my blubber away?

In other news, I had no water pressure this morning. It came to a trickle after I had shampoo in my eyes. But of course! That’s the way plumbing works. I will drown myself in Clinique’s “Happy Heart” to cover up any funk.

G Dred’s band is on tonight, and I’ll be there. Apple martinis afterwards at some place around the corner. When’s the last time I had an apple martini? Good god, when’s the last time I drank? A glass of wine at Christmas, I think. Or was it champagne….can’t remember. Senility sucks.

I’m definitely doing V for Vendetta this weekend. I’m in the bitch mood that this movie most likely requires. I don’t think it’s about Al Qaida, it looks like a scathing portrait of the Bush administration. I’m still loving The Smirking Chimp website. Google and click away, kiddies! It’s fabulous.

And for those of you that say “There’s no such thing as a good democrat”, I say you certainly got what you voted for. Are you happy now, assholes?
