One Chris in Atlanta

I am 33 years old. Live and work in Atlanta, GA. Living in Buckhead and work downtown. Love the outdoors, hate having to work for a living (don't we all?), and enjoy all things free! My favorite phrase is: "Live and let live."

Memorial Day

6:40 AM

I am off today! I have to work Monday but who cares since I get double time for working, get off today, I still get a three day weekend and love my job. So enough about me! I woke thinking about what this weekend means .. I know of no one in my family that is a casualty of war. http://icasualties.org/oif/ In Iraq there has been 2460 soldiers to die to date from the US and 75 deaths from Georgia. The local news has not even mentioned this this morning. All I hear is stuff on the weather, fires for apartments, etc. Maybe the news just wants us to forget the war? No one wants to talk about things that are that painful. I hope and pray that you all have a great holiday. If you have family or friends that have been a casualty of war or they are serving now in the war then I pray that you may find peace of mind. Love you all! *hugs* Have a great weekend!

CUBICLE LIFE SUXS!

Ok we all have had to deal with the cubicle life at work but this gets on my last nerve! I work with a guy who is tone-deaf. The guy likes to hum tunes mumbled in his head all day! The tone is very dull and mind numbing. I bet his wife wants to slap the crap out of him all the time! Today I had to put in ear buds to cut out the noise. This helps but even then I still hear the noise. I have worked with people who talk out loud but the humming thing is new to me. OMG! Worse yet is the constant snorting! This dude needs an ENT doctor so bad or at the least some sinus meds to stop the drainage. The grunting and huhhhhh (yuck) to clear his throat is so nasty. My cube is right at his so I face him. I have tried to say something to him on the snorting but he is clueless. Also so glad I can listen to music with ear buds! In my past life I must have ticked someone off real bad! Well just damn!

Karma

6:37 AM ET

So I got up early today as 8 AM is normal for me. Feeling much better today! I am watching the news and I see all the roads are shut down for the way the guy who deleted my "out sick" message yesterday has to come to work. Amazing how fast Karma does that .. He will be late today! He takes the bus. Oh well... LOL... I wonder will the message he sends our manager get to her? I bet he will not call as he hopes to slide under the radar. He is such an ass! Well enough about that... I feel better today. So looking forward to the weekend! I am off Friday and so glad. I am going to paint the fitness center at the condos. www.piedmontheightscondo.org (I created this web site.) I painted the walls at they gym already so need to go back for the trim work. That always is the pain but doing the work myself is saving us money. Ok have a good day! Hump day!!! : )

Out Sick today ....


Ok so I was sick today. Sleep deprived and upset stomach. I slept until 1 PM. I have a message on the phone when I get up from my boss. Seems that the message I left my co-worker marked urgent he never got ? I do not trust this so next time I will just have to call the boss lady when I call in and always speak to a live person and never a voice mail. I am glad she was cool when I did reach her at 1 PM. I vow to make my life simple. No more BS.
