You've got to be kidding me...

Kicked out of my own building.

JT came into the area today at about 1430 nosing around. JT is my kinda boss. He NEVER enters my sphere of influence, unless there is a problem. The flipside to this is the fact that the only feedback I get outta the big Cajun is negative. I can deal with that, however, as I have been dealing with that situation all of my employed life.

JT: Whatcha got going on?

Clime: Stuff.

JT: You care to elaborate?

Clime: I got the Israeli prime minister for a meet and greet at three, I star in a new porn film at four, at five there is that seminar on modern aeronautics over at Jet Propulsion Laboratories, oh, and I gotta save a GI's life one armored Humvee window at a time for the rest of the day...

JT: Jackass

Clime: You asked....stuff....

JT: Well, drop it all and get outta here.

Whatever. I have work to get done. A half hour later he comes back around.

JT: Do I have to hold your hand and walk you to your car? Because I can do that...

Clime: Okay, okay....

He summed up his perspective on the matter with this statement. In nine days, it's going to start all over again for another year. It is not going anywhere. It never.....goes....away. So never feel like you are going to accomplish it all by the end of the working day, and keep 'you' and your life and family the priority.

Wow, LBG has been telling me this for years, while watching me let myself get ass-raped by my former employer, and I never listened to him. Just gave him the stock "ya, yer right" and went on to work harder and harder and longer and longer for no real return. The above statement by JT, and my present situation this year have dramatically changed my perspective. Its a life you've got at home, go home to it. Even if it is sitting in yer boxers removing nameless individuals online from their money at poker. So there.

"It's your hooooome! Go hoooooome! What? Are you too good for your hoooome?!
