Well, end of a Thursday and all I can say is
Lockedby jdclyde · about 17 years, 8 months ago
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time, it’s the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That’s the jingle bell,
That’s the jingle bell,
That’s the jingle bell rock

I should welcome a change. I took my older kids to see Clerks II and the closing credits song is that stupid Soul Asylum song ‘Frustrated Incorporated’. It’s been in my head ever since. Baby Elephant walk isn’t much better.
I’m glad this day is almost over. I had a bad ‘insomnia’ night. I’ve been up since 1:00AM and am so tired my eyes have been watering for the past hour and I’m fighting to keep my eyes open. I’m definitely breaking out the ambien tonight.

Got far to go?
DWT, or Driving While Tired, is ranked almost as highly as DUI for causing fatal accidents.
be careful.
That sleeping thing still an issue?
I have been doing GREAT with mine. Ever since the EX moved out, I get more and more sleep. So the last three years of averaging four hours a night was because she was there. I can get UP TO seven hours of sleep a few times a week, although five or six is the average.

In reply to Careful going home
is fine, just about 5 minutes. I think I can handle that much. And yes, the sleeping thing is still there. Fortunately, I finally found a doctor who will give be ambien. I only take it after I have a couple really bad nights. Not only because it’s addictive, but she’ll only give me so many, so I ration them out. (how’s that for ‘junkie’ like behavior 🙂 ).
The pills are great. I’ve actually slept over 7 hours without waking up once, that hasn’t happened in 4 or 5 years. Last night, I cleaned, read, watched TV and resorted to watching the alarm clock until 2 minutes before it went off.
We’re in the middle of nasty contract negotiations that have fallen flat. It is more likely than not that our parent company will close us down. I’m not all that concerned about finding another job, it’s not been difficult in the past. However, I’ve been putting together little things I’ve heard here and there, and it seems that my job will be in jeapordy long before they make any moves to shut us down. And my problem is this, I’ve never been fired or laid off from a job in my life, and apparently, my ego has a problem with that possibility and won’t let me sleep. 🙂

Start looking for something else, and quit before you can be let go.
OR you can put this in proper perspective. If you see this coming and can get your finances in shape, take the unemployement and use it as a well deserved break for a month. That might be just what you need to get this sleeping in order?
Not laid-off, on VACATION!

Partner went to a local company 28 years ago where he quickly rose through the IT ranks- REALLY good at what he does. Five years ago, that company pinched off their IT and created a new company- partner ended up in the new company while retaining his senority.
Recently, the original company decided to fire the IT support. Some people lost their jobs, many of them moved on, some were re-located. Partner ended up being re-located.
He is now doing work that he can do in his sleep with the only benefit being that he CAN do it in his sleep and still look like a star.
Jobs end. I guess because I have been a consultant for so long, I don’t let it get to me- it’s normal in my world. Partner lost a lot of sleep through this transition. Hard to walk away from systems that you built and nurtured for 28 years.
Your ego is probably less the issue than that you are angry and have no where to go with that. It really is okay to feel however you feel.
Getting some sleep will help. Thank God for effective sleep aids!

You may not have the worst case scenario…
by vanessaj · about 17 years, 8 months ago
In reply to It always helps
My mother-in-law (nice person, but a bit timid) was told that her company was going belly-up three years ago, just before Christmas. They have been laying off since then and it has been slow and painful – but she is still there. Being the LAST to go has kept her watching everyone else leave, saying goodbye and filling in for everyone else’s duties. She stays because she’s afraid to get out there again and find something better (which would be about anything at this point). I mean, come on! Three years!
I am sure that you will have no such trouble. With your spirit, not to mention your no-nonsense experience, quick thinking, and charm, I’ll bet many doors will open wide for you. There is nothing in this business that rivals good experience (and a quick mind).
I think they’re right – take a severance package and paint the town for a few weeks/months. I don’t think YOU should worry. Anyone who takes the time to sit down with you should be able to tell that you’re intelligent, serious about your work and that you’d be great to work with. If they don’t have that much sense, then you don’t want to work for them, either, if you know what I mean.
So my advice is: Work for now. Take some real “Mae time” when it’s available. And SLEEP!!!

It was better last night
by maecuff · about 17 years, 8 months ago
In reply to You may not have the worst case scenario…
Not great, but I at least feel human today.
In thinking about it, I realized that it’s not so much that I’m worried about my job, I’m just very angry. Our VP of HR is a massive d*ckhead. He enjoys firing people, hurting people, stirring crap up, etc. I’ve never been a fan of his, but I’ve at least slid under his radar. There have been times over the past 6 years that he’s been rude to me (in a ‘joking’ manner, of course) usually making rude ‘women’ type comments, but I’ve been able to blow it off. I’m thick skinned, and there is a certain amount of sh*t that you’ve got to put up with and I’ve been able to dish it back pretty well. Not that it is a challenge, because this guy is dumb as a bag of hammers. Anyway..I am transferring one of my employees to Georgia, she was looking for a new job in that state anyway, so it worked out for us and it worked out for her. We (my employee, my boss and myself) met with the HR VP to discuss her relocation package. Throughout this meeting, he was very nasty to me, more so that his usual way of being. I talked to my boss afterwards and asked him if he knew what was up the guy’s a$$. He had no idea, told me not to worry about it, blah blah blah. Well, my employee who is leaving in two weeks told me Wednesday afternoon that she knew why he had been nasty to me. When she met with him to sign her new contract, he told her that I should NOT have been in that meeting, as her relocation package details were not my business. She told him I was there because I am her boss. He told her that with the state the company is in right now, that I might not be her boss much longer. I talked to my boss, and he said that the HR VP was full of sh*t, talking out of his a$$..and that I didn’t need to worry. I have a pretty good relationship with my boss, I could see him sidestepping a question if he didn’t want to answer it, but I really can’t imagine that he would outright lie to me. I was angry, because this is the freaking HR guy undermining me to my own staff. I’m glad we’re in different buildings, I’m still angry enough to take his head off.

Oh my goodness, Mae…
by vanessaj · about 17 years, 8 months ago
In reply to You may not have the worst case scenario…
That’s an awful story! Can you believe that some people can be so blatantly rude and AH-ish and still be able to sleep at night? It still always surprizes me – how some people get off being so mean like, “It’s just another day to be a donkey’s behind because that’s just me.” It defies reason.
I am really sorry that you have to go through that. That really stinks! And, if it’s not too assuming for me to say so…just think about working with him for the next 10 years? It may even make you a little happy to leave that one. And although there is [b] usually [/b] one at every company… [b] usually [/b] doesn’t equal [b] always [/b]. The next job may be jerk-free, you never know.
And, if it helps, I can TOTALLY see where anger doesn’t let you sleep – it happens to me sometimes. Frustration and anger (and it sounds like you are experiencing both) can steal sleep away like nothing else (except maybe anticipation).
And not for nothing, but I really hope that you get the final word with that guy before you leave – rather than just leaving without a word. It is rare that you can speak to someone who has made life hell for you when you leave a job, most of the time, it’s good to just go and leave it behind them…but sometimes it’s really good to let your frustration find its home. Even in some small way. Not spitefully, but just a look or a satisfying “good-bye” with a smile can do the trick.
I have to hand it to you. You really put up with a lot with that one. I’m sure you handle yourself with more poise and dignity than someone like that can even understand. We all know the type.
Just keep that chin up and that backbone strong, girl. You are a smart tech, a professional, and a WOMAN, darn it! Don’t forget your fortitude and worth!

This really made me smile!
by maecuff · about 17 years, 8 months ago
In reply to You may not have the worst case scenario…
Poise and dignity? Ha! On the surface I can fake it and appear genuine. Under it all, there isn’t much poise and not a whole hell of a lot of dignity.
Fortunately, I haven’t had to deal with this guy much. And in all sincerity, is considered a joke by nearly everyone in the company. For example, when I put together our steering committee, ALL of the other VP’s voted to not include him. They said they couldn’t spend any time making fun of him if he were present. The bad thing is, he isn’t only toxic, he CAN do damage to a person’s career, so he is mildly dangerous. Fortunately, I am pretty well liked here and not too worried about him harming me.
As far as working with him for the next 10 years, I don’t think think we’ll be in business for more than the next 10 months..if that.
My boss has asked me to join him in GA. I’m fairly certain that it will happen, but nothing is set in stone yet. We’ll just have to wait and see. As far as being angry, I’m slowly letting it go. It’s not hurting him (in fact, he would ENJOY it) so, why torture myself over the douchebag? (How’s THAT for dignified?? 🙂 )

You don’t give yourself enough credit…
by vanessaj · about 17 years, 8 months ago
In reply to You may not have the worst case scenario…
That’s exactly what I mean by dignified!
I believe dignity to be what you have that HE doesn’t. You know yourself and you choose to treat people as fairly as is humanly possible. You have a good percetion of right and wrong and you choose accordingly, don’t you? I have seen in your posts just how you try to encourage people to be the best they can be and have dignity in themselves, too.
I don’t think dignity means having your buttons clipped up to the throat on a starched collar…I see it in you when you choose not to stoop to the “jerk” level of others….(unless they just REALLY REALLY need it, and then to do it with flair). So don’t be so quick to laugh about not having this wonderful quality that seems to me (from reading all of your Mae-ness that you have poured out into the boards this past year) to be essential to your character. I think you’re terrific. Keep it up.

Use either for bathing or soak folded tissues in it for compresses.
Cheap! Most table salt has Magnesium in it to prevent caking but that does no harm at all. The correct value for isotonic saline is 0.9% if you have access to measuring gear.

Tony, who sits next to me, is now the father of twin boys born early Saturday morning. There was a third sibling who died around at around 4 months into the pregnancy. Oscar and Sean are both doing well. I know you ladies like to know things like the birth weight but I just don’t know yet. Mother and sons were back home same day. Father is insufferably smug!
The “doughnut baby” was a girl, 7lb2oz, born to Mark on Thursday – he sits over the other side of the office.
Tony will owe double doughnuts when he comes back off leave.

In iced tea. That was how I learned to drink tea- my mother’s preference. I draw the line at adding sugar to tea. And NEVER lemon. ISH!
Good to know that the twins were delivered without incident. That was a difficult situation. I am glad to know that Mum and the boys are doing well. Dad is going to be insufferably smug for awhile- get used to it.
And frankly, I think that Tony should have to come with something better than doughnuts. I shall have to think on this for awhile…

Sky TV have at least two random episodes per day and sometimes four – only one new episode a week – and I watch as many as I feel that I need to keep me sane. The very early ones, Season 1 or 2 look really strange and Homer’s voice isn’t “right”.
I use Homer Simpson as a role model and mentor.
Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It’s what separates us from the animals … except the weasel.
Please don’t eat me! I have a wife and kids. Eat them!

‘Single and Sassy’ – Homer’s bumper sticker.
Internet! Is that thing still around?
Ah, beer, my one weakness. My Achille’s heel, if you will.
Okay, whatever to take my mind off my life.
I voted for Prell to go back to the old glass bottle. Then I became deeply cynical. ( about voting )
To find Flanders, I have to think like Flanders.
Rock stars … is there anything they don’t know?
Well, maybe if he had had better arch support, they wouldn’t have caught ‘im. ( about Jesus wearing sandals ).
Ah, the college roadtrip. What better way to spread beer-fueled mayhem?

Or you will have Jacqui Dawg and Oz complaining that you shouldn’t go to Toronto because its a miserable place with wretched people.
I mentioned Toronto because Mae suggested she might go to NYC – Toronto is about 100 miles closer to Comlumbus than NYC, and I would bet cheaper for a big show like Wicked.
Private jet eh? Hmmm…no.
Once upon a time I made a pot of money, but then I was laid off. After two years in management at the new job, I am now about 75% of what I made before the layoff(thats after a promotion).

(Mae will probably beat me on this but) is the prequel to The Wizard of OZ. It explains and give an in depth look of the characters when they were younger. I think I remember my daughter saying it starts off with the characters in high school or something like that. When I listened to the sound track it all made sense which usually the sound tracks don’t until after I see the play. I can’t wait to see this one. I think it will be tremendous.

portrays the wicked witch (Elphaba) as a sympathetic character. She is truly one of the best fictional characters I’ve ever read. Glinda is a vapid social climber, the Wizard is heinous and it explains the talking animals. It starts out slow, but gets better after the first few chapters.

And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you’ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can’t I?Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I’ll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful worldWell I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful worldThe colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, I…I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They’ll learn much more
Than we’ll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world (w)oohoorldSomeday I’ll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that’s where you’ll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can’t I?-

Midnight on the water.
I saw the oceans daughter.
Walking on a waves chicane,
Staring as she called my name.And I cant get it out of my head,
No, I cant get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
cos I cant get it out of my head.Breakdown on the shoreline,
Cant move, its an ebbtide.
Morning dont get here till night,
Searching for her silver light.And I cant get it out of my head,
No, I cant get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
cos I cant get it out of my head, no no.Bank job in the city.
Robin hood and william tell and ivanhoe and lancelot, they dont envy me.
Sitting till the sun goes down,
In dreams the world keep going round and round.And I cant get it out of my head,
No, I cant get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
cos I cant get it out of my head, no no.No, I cant get it out of my head,
No, I cant get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
cos I cant get it out of my head, no no no no.So maybe the verses aren’t as appropriate, but the chorus……

by jdclyde · about 17 years, 8 months ago
In reply to Christmas shopping?????
I tried the whole “shop early” thing. I hit the sales and figured I would save big.
A few problems. One, I LOST a few of the gifts. Couldn’t for the life of me remember where I hid them! After the EX moved out and we were cleaning it was like, (this was last July) Hey boys, Merry Christmas! (from two years before!)
The OTHER problem is you see things as Christmas gets closer and end up buying more than you would have if you had put it off and done it all at once.
I make a point not to make Christmas about the money, and will not go into debt or charge anything for it.

Thanks!
While out running errands I stopped in at Tuesday Morning and found a Madame Alexander doll, “The Doll Hospital Nurse”, for my partner’s mom- she collects dolls, used to be a nurse. I knew I got a sweet deal but just discovered that not only is that doll retired, but I paid less than 50% of what you can get it from the dealers for.
I feel better about this early Christmas shopping lark now.

And I need you today, oh MandyYesterday’s a dream I face the morning
Crying on the breeze
the pain is calling, oh MandyWell you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy -

I LIKE the song Jolene. I’m not a country music fan, but I really like Dolly Parton (the White Stipes do a good cover of Jolene). And Johnny Cash. He is the epitome of cool. Oh, and I love Roy Orbison. I guess he’s more rockabilly than country? Hmm..maybe I’m a bigger country music fan than I thought..

In reply to that worked, then….! ]:)
But you’re supposed to infect JD, not me!!
Although, I have to admit, if it works on just ONE other person, it’s worth the effort. 🙂

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queenFriday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the musics high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
Youre in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance…You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queenYoure a teaser, you turn em on
Leave them burning and then youre gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
Youre in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance…You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen-

That was Evil, Evil I tell you!

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you’re back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you’d be back to bother meGo on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
’cause you’re not welcome anymore
weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I’d crumble
you think I’d lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
and I’ll survive
I will surviveIt took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I’m not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I’m saving all my loving
for someone who’s loving meAnd so am I…
