Schlow day...

Today, not much to report on really.

Felt like a right twonk today after people were asking me "How did it go last night?".

Wish it would just all go away.

So what can I talk about tonight....hmmm.

Never let women run a forum. Talk about bitchin' and arguing!!!! In a tragic way it is funny. I get the impression because the girls are similar in attitudes (but differeing tastes) you get this butting of heads and then things start to trickle down into these fights. I vote they resolve their issues mud wrestling...nekkid. I'd pay to watch that, lol!


Anything to report from work? Not really.

Spent today trying to ignore someone and failed twice as I spoke to them in the kitchen. I need to be more resolute. There is always tomorrow to try...the idea is to ignore them for the rest of this week and then perhaps the whole of next week and see what happens. I think it's an interesting experiment.

Oh just quickly cleaned the house as I been told that the Deputy MD (my house mate) is inviting his daughter to work as a temp where we do and that she will be staying here...a bachelor pad, she'll go nuts...especially as my pc never goes off and makes a nice little hum...and speaking of hum....a few places in the house does hum some, if you get my meaning!!!! lol! Hopefully she'll clean the house up for us! Mwuahahahahaaa!!!

Ahh well, I'm hungry...think I'll make some bacon and er....whatever else I find in the fridge!

Crappy crappy crappy day...

Ahh how depressing was today...

Work was filled with general pap that I really couldn't be arsed to deal with.

Spent the day with a stinking headache due to being in the rain all day yesterday.

To top it all off, I had spent a few days planning a little pub grub do for a work colleagues "un-birthday" (a way of celebrating their birthday as they were born on dec 25th).

So round 4pm rolls and suddenly EVERYONE backs out cancelling the whole thing....utterly CRAP!!! This is THE LAST TIME I EVER ARRANGE ANYTHING!!!! I swear people at work just don't like me. It's not paranoia, it's the truth. This is my 4th or 5th attempt now at a work related social gathering and just been blown out the water. Utterly crap. I am demoralised and p*ssed off.

Ahh the other thing doing my head in is trying to work out women but I think I'll give up and actually marry my car instead. I get more joy out of that then trying to win over a woman.

"Keep on Rollin' baby" as Limp Bizkit would say....

Wasted Day....

Oh what a fantastic day at work I just had.

Walk in at 7:50am, 10 minutes before I officially start, so for once I'm not late!!! If you haven't guessed I turn up to work late 99.9% of the time. I'm such a lazy git. lol.

Anyhow, I walk in at 7:50am, turn on my PC, wait a good 10 minutes for it to boot up properly and open our email client (as each day passes my machine continually gets slower) and then I start reading through emails....a few of which are from one of the senior managers. One email really got my attention and as i read in depth, I knew the day was going to be bad.


It turns out we missed removing an item (that's used when checking/repairing the engine) and this item actually prevents proper function of the engine. Suffice to say it is our fault. Which then led onto the day being spend with various people doing various reports so our Quality team can do a root cause analysis and corrective actions to prevent this from happening again.

I can tell you EXACTLY why it happened. Carelessness and irresponsibility.

Of course part of the corrective action for QA will always be...more paper work.

More paper work achieves very little other than the ability to point the finger of blame when an item is missed but has been signed off as completed. What needs to be changed is the culture/behaviour of people. That'll never happen with paper work and never with training, most of the shop guys fall asleep with their eyes open during lessons, I know I've taught lessons.

I'm a megalomaniac so if i was in charge, I'd fire people just to sh*t them up.

Bleh, and this sordid saga won't end till the meeting on Monday and then probably a following meeting 2 weeks after that. Wasting my life away in dumb meetings...

Another prose...

I've decided to try and write something more upbeat...I ended up with something that's tragically romantic I feel. So here it is, something trying to be happier. It's called "Third Sight".

Third Sight:
The first
Was when you walked in through those doors

The first
Filled me with joy

The first
Saddened me with reality

The second
Was when you started to open up to me

The second
Filled me with companionship

The second
Saddened me with the yearning for more

The third
Was when you finally revealed the difficult life you lead

The third
Filled me with awe

The third
Saddened me with loneliness as I pushed you away

You're more than I deserve
You're more than I ever desired
You're more than a person than I could ever be

I look inward to see where I went wrong
I look inward to see if I can truly be strong
I look inward to see the truth

The first sight
Has filled me with passion

The second sight
Has filled me with completeness

The third sight
Has filled me with deep respect for you

I could never measure up to you
I could never catch up to you
I could never gain your attention

I will always be standing by your side
I will always be there for you
I will always hold you close to my soul

Just for a moment
Let me share your life

Let me share my third sight with you

Work Place Bullying

Recent events have led up to what could be one big "ka-boom" where I work.

There has been a case of bullying within our work place, to the extent that the woman involved can't even do her job properly. The attacks are indirect and personal. Infact, there have been instances of direct attacks too.

What drives people to do this? It's destroying one person's soul and making life so uncomfortable, where do people get the kicks from this?

You're all probably wondering how this has all started.

Simple.

The two instigators were building their own little empire within the company. This lady just commented about how her job scope does NOT cover what is being palmed off to her. Regardless, they continued to palm their work off onto her. Another occasion, she was ensuring the job she started (from her previous role) was completed properly and found that even though all the new bits are in place, no security was taken. She questioned why they were not locked, not in a patronising or derogatory way. You maybe thinking she's being nosey and being a trouble maker however one of these two is supposedly a manager. Now as a manager surely you should ensure stuff is locked away when required, there is sufficient staff to cover the jobs required, the jobs are prioritised and that there is plenty of work for everyone to get on with? Nope this manager loves just being best pals with everyone, so little in the way of work gets done. People have temporarily worked in this section and all left with the same comment of how little work is done. That and how any written/verbal disciplanary action taken is just laughed off and joked over.

The same two have also bullied another employee however this person has rode through the storm and has come out a stronger person for it.

No-one should be subjected to such behaviour.

Currently it is in the hands of senior management and is being taken VERY seriously however it maybe too little too late. I know if I was in her shoes, I'd already have another job prospect lined up.

Utter crud.

Lyricalist

Well I been in a strange mood lately. Been writing just well...poetry...if you can call it that!!! LoL! Just helps me get things out in the open. :)

Paranoia was something written the same day as I blogged, same as this one now. Paranoia was something I needed to get out as it was playing on my mind during a recent road trip.

I'm not any good at writing stuff so you'll need to put up with it until my little phase is over.

Latest creation...

Lost:
I'm lost again
Waiting on edge

Anything is better than this eerie silence

I need to hear the echo
That I reached out far enough
Enough to reach your senses.

I'm lost again
Creeping closer to my limit

Anything is better than this feeling

Of destitute loneliness
Never reaching beyond
beyond your dark shadow

I'm lost again
Tearing myself apart

Anything is better than this self consuming pain

Being crushed beneath
The flow of tears
Shed from my sore eyes

I'm lost again
Always waiting

Anything is better than this moment in time that lasts an eternity

Waiting for the day
the day that I can finally hear
Hear your voice

I'm lost again
Waiting on edge

For an answer

Paranoia

My fear is losing you,
Not ever knowing your touch
Your smell
Your kindness
Your laughter
Your companionship

My fear is pushing you away,
I'm over enthusiastic,
I'm impatient
I'm jealous
Of all the time I cannot spent with you

My fear is waiting too long,
watching as your love life blossoms
As I'm waiting in the dark

My fear is being alone

You're more than I deserve, but I still want you for myself

Oh the pictures..right!!!

Yes well, finally got round to uploading the pictures from the small MX% meet...

We shared the car park with these nifty little things called "Tigers" :)


Here are some MX5s that turned up...




Myself and the car next to me are the only regulars so we mamanged to attract 3 new cars/6 people to this gathering :) Not bad considering the rest of the regulars are at a classic car show that day too!


Oh and in one of the cars, look what we found in the boot!!!


Roll on next month, I'm sure we will pack the car park out with the regulars! :) :) :)

Tis that time of the month again....

...no not that ya dirty pervs!!!

It's the second tuesday of a new month which means...The Fenland Fives meet up at the pub for a good social! Actually most of them had gone off to some (gay) classic car show (I'm not one for amiring old wrecks! LoL!) so there was me and one other regular who welcomed in 3 new cars and 6 new people to the local social :) Considering that these newbies appeared from word of mouth, I think it's done quite well!

I could put up pictures only it's late and I'm too bone idle lazy (you should all know that by now).

Ahh my quest to conquer a new love has been going at an amazing speed of 0mph. lol. Still stuck where I was before and at that difficult crossroads of keeping it as friends or keep on slightly nudging, reminding her I'm still here waiting...My biggest fear is waiting in the background and some greasy monkey comes swooping in and stealing the prize right before my eyes. Guess if that ever happens, it wasn't meant to be. Maybe I'm suppose to grow old alone in the world. Who knows.

I been getting really bored of forums lately, I used to love them and post on a few quite regularly, but lately I been so sick and tired of them that I really can't be bothered to even view the forums anymore. It's no longer fun.

Ahh i found something utterly hilarious on youtube last night...



Awesomly funny shizzle!

Oh and here is the original...

Outsider

Quick entry, while I'm at work (I believe the internet police are on vacation), I've come to the conclusion that I am an outsider at work. Following a recent charity event some of the other employees went on, I thought I'd be nice and ak how it went...in true outsider fashion, they kept the answer short and sweet...which I thought, "Fair enough, maybe there isn't much to say" but they are all having long conversations about it.

Outsider, yes I am. I shall just build my little cubicle in the open plan office and lurk. Socialise...? Well I won't even try.

It's been awhile

I'm such a lazy git, couldn't be bothered to blog about the latest happenings.

1. The annoying git who fails to work has left and rejoined his old employment...protecting the country through one of the governmental...oh sod it, he's in the RAF now. I no longer care anymore about being non-descriptive about him.

2, The company I'm working for has been going through a tough period and even worse is that the Big Boss is introducing a new capability...oh and in the group of companies, loads of people are resigning. Some were idiots who really should never have been employed, others just got fed up and left. Don't blame the latter people though.

3. The house is not for sale, finally got confirmation and EVENTUALLY after the correct house was sold, did they move the sign. Bunch of tits.

4. I been sniffing around this very nice woman, only it's all one way traffic. Debating if I should bother continuing the pursuit or cutting my losses and move on.

My blog sucks as I have no idea how to put pictures up, well words that link to snapshots or pictures or videos like how you see on Wifey and Tachi-Diary.

I ordered a new rear bumper/spoiler for the car and a Blitz BOV! Mmm slowly transforming to something meaner, however really having second thoughts about the whole car. Would love to keep it but would also love to just get out of this country. I'm getting very disillusioned that it's sooooo depressing.

Ah and also been thinking of getting another car just to stick a massive sound system in. I've been influenced by Steve Meade and his Chevy Tahoe. If you got no idea who this guy is, just look for Steve Meade on Youtube, you can see his car and what it does on there.
