Good evening people, Well Halloween went okay tonight, had to work but was okay.
I often wonder what makes a persons mind tick.....you know what they are thinking and what makes them act in such manner.
Ever hear the saying" the unknown" well that is exactly what this is the unknown.....but looking into how human nature is will help to identify the why's.
This is not a long blog just one to express that I wish I knew what made someone think a particuliar way. Oh and for the record, once a person thinks a certain way, there is no changinf them. Sad but true.
The end

Halloween
Hello followers!!! Happy Halloween, yep once again it is here followed by all the rest of the crazy out of control Holidays.....but for now Halloween. Halloween believe it or not is one of top 3 Holidays celebrated. We all know why!!!!!!Well for the young children it is a day they get all excited about to dress up in costume and go door to door and get the free candy, new born babies, time for mom or dad to show off their new kid, for teenagers a time for either still dress up in costume yea free candy or for them to attend a halloween party. Now we get to the adults, yep us adults either dress up for work, dress up for a party, or dress up to scare the little kids trick or treating. Well followers tonight will be a trick for anyone coming to our house....yep that right no candy for the little ones, unless "crash" decised to leave a candy basket outside which is likely knowing crash with a note that just says, sorry could't be here just take one piece.......Then we have the adults who would love to dress up but can't because their bosses won't allow it, oh well yea I fit that category but may buck the system tonight if I can located my custumes and find the time to get to the over filled basement to look for them. Well have a spooky, erie, fun filled night no matter what you do, even if you end up just sitting on the couch watching scarey movies...Happy Halloween

Friends-
Well people today we are going to talk about "friends". How do you guage who is a friend versus an aquaintance and so on.
Here is the true hard facts, this may be rather discouraging to those who have to have friends........you know the people that just can't live without knowing they have friends.
I personally thought I chose my friends wisely but recently have found out how wrong I really am.
Okay lets start this out by saying I categorize people I meet as follows:
Best friend(s)
Aquiantances
Business Associates
Associates
People I just can't stand
Best friend(s)-This is a person that I have known more than a year, someone who has proven themselves to be worthy and of high integrity and honesty. This person must be one that would drop whatevever they are doing to come to the aid if an emergency arises, no matter what they are doing. This person must have never violated moral turpitude.
Aquaintance- This is someone who I have met and have not evaluated thier moral turpitude, integrity, honesty, and never tested. This person would be just a very brief conversation about general things, nothing personal about me given to this person. Yes we would be friendly saying hello and small talk. This person could potential end up being a best friend. Another name for aquaintance in my book would be just plain friend.
Business Associate- This is the person who you have met through work, never know them any other way. This person would most likely never be a best friend. I always keep my guard up and watch that this person doesn't turn on me in the business setting. The minute this person did anything that would turn on me they would end up as "people I just can't stand"
Associates- This would be a person whom I have met through another person and/or met through conversation out some where. This person could potentally fit into any category depending how they act and after evaluation period. When they are an "Associate" basically we only engage in conversation about general stuff and this person surely would never come to my house or know where I live at this status.
People I just can't stand- This is a person who I would not even Associate with. This person I do not speak to and will go out of my way to avoid at all times. This person could never work their way into any category above even if they work with me. Quite frankly this person would be of no value to me, if this person made any type of aggressive move towards me they would be sorry.
Well now you have the above chart as a guide of how I category people.
To speak on most recent expierence, I work with Beaner.....Beaner and I have history.....We worked together in a professional job one that is considered a brotherhood. This placed him into an aquaintance status that went into a best friend status. Well I helped Beaner out through some tough times and got him full time employment with benefits and all. Well Beaner has recently made some real bad decisions and the Company I got him employed through he has been screwing over.....yea I made a bad choice it has appeared. Beaner informed me that he was going to leave this Company to take a part time job with no benefits,,,,,he said he is going back to the old type professional job....part time......Ms Airline Beaners girl will not be happy about this since Beaner in the past 2 years has went through over 7 jobs, causing distress in his household. I tried to talk to Beaner about this but he blew me off and said he made his decision he is leaving the Company once he gets all his classes done and what he needs he is out. Yea basically using the Company I got him a job at, you know the job that pays the bills and puts food on his table. Well ending this I will just say choose your friends/aquaintances wisely and evaluate them well before acepting them as best friends. I do have to add though that "Beaner" has in the past been there during some emergency times for me. I have in return done alot for him.....I wish I could have written much better news.....but this is the facts and only the facts.......oh and for "Crash" her opinion of Beaner, well not real sure right now because Crash is just looking out for my best interest and if it means letting Beaner go as a friemd , well so be it.......Lesson learned for me!!!!!!!!

Over the hump day
Well people, yes we are over the hump thats right we have all made it past hump day or for you laymens "Wednesday".
Talk for the day is about working and Companies:
Ever notice that now a days Companies are expecting more and more out of you? Yet they still pay you the same rate of pay, take away vacation days, take away personal days, and oh lets not forget the we can't pay you any overtime.Company logic is, if a fellow co-workers unfortunetely loses their job you are now expected to not only do your current job but theirs. It usually starts out with the "Company" saying well since (John Doe) is no longer with us I have to ask you to help out with doing his duties until we fill his spot......sound familiar? So of course in fear of losing your job if you do not do this, you do. You are thinking well okay this will only be until they find someone. Now what happens is you begin doing both jobs, well the "Company" looks at it and says hmmmmm wow we can save payroll, this person can handle both jobs, great!!!!!! Boss is happy his payroll is cutback and he/she meets their payroll goals that the "Company" placing upon them. Now time goes by and you begin to get burned out, you still push on and figure it is time to use that one week vacation that you still have left, since they took away the other week you used to have before cut backs. You take vacation and while on vacation of course you receive numerous calls from the "boss" and "co-workers" asking how to do this or that....you find yourself on yor phone more than enjoying yourself and relaxing as you set out to do. Well you push through that and finish your vacation only really getting one to two days of relaxation needed. Now for the back to work day......you dread getting out of bed but you do and arrive at work. Well you know where this is leading........you walk in and the "boss" oh who is a lazy f*ck says glad you are back, he/she then rambles off everything that went wrong while you were gone. Well the only great benefit of him/her telling you this is in your mind you are thinking , "job securtity" obviously no one can do what I do. So you start your day and as you begin to start your daily routine finding all kinds of double work, double what you normally have to do.......yes you got it.....no one did anything while you were out and now you are not only doing the job of 2 people but double work maning the job of 4 people. You being human get pissed but you refrain from snapping.....you start to clean up the back log of work and your lazy ass "boss" walks up to you and asks why this and that isn't done.....well now your fuse is lit but you don't want to snap because you need your job.You swallow all the words you are wanting to say to lazy ass boss. Now you are foing the work of 4 people, mad, disgusted, and feel like you are being used. You make it through the day and go home thinking how to fix this delema.....well you as most people come up with the idea the next day you will talk to your boss and tell him/her what is professionally on your mind and how this problem has progressed since losing the co-worker. Next day you wake up, yea you got the nervous stomach and you keep talking uo what you are going to say and what the boss may say.......So you arrive and ask to speak to Mr./Ms lazy ass and he/she says, I am so busy give me a few minutes.....oh great more time to sit and think about this crap is what you are thinking.....now he/she finally says come on back but I only have a few minutes. Now you feel rushed but you go in and start teling the "boss" about how you are feeling over worked, tired, and being used because since "John Doe" was terminate you were doing his job and your own and you "thought" this was a short time thing. Well the "boss" who now has put his own self in this position by telling the Company his/her great idea on the money saving payroll deal can't back pedal to the Company or he takes the risk of losing his/her job. Well so the boss in this situation that he/she placed their self into says to you, "well if you can't handle the job maybe we need to find someone who can do the job" Well that wasn't the right answer or answer you were looking for.....you dont know what to say except okay, but I can handle the job, the job I was hired to do not the job of 2 people. The boss ends this conversation by now turning this on you and asks that BIG question to you, "Are you going to be able to do this or do I need to replace you" Well you needing your job you say, oh yea I can handle it. Now he dismisses you, talk is over!!!!! Wow now you walk out of there in worse shape then before you went in because now you know the boss is looking to replace you because he/she is seeing you as a "trouble maker" for speaking your mind.......Am I on track? Haven't we all been there? So now you are 4x more stressed and you start to find your health being effected by all stress......you are sick more often and missing work.....Now the boss calls you into his/her office and begins to tell you how your attendance is really falling and you need to get this fixed right away or your job is on jeopardy......oh great just what you needed......well not being able to control sickness you have to call out again weeks later.....you coem back to work in fear and the "boss" calls you back and yep you got it........the lazy asshole fires you.......now you are over worked, stressed out, health problems, and now you are more stressed with more health problems......to add salt to the wound, you have no more health benefits and no money coming in. Bill collectors begin to call and the repo man is looking for your car, you have no car insurance and your electric and water are going to be cut off if the bill isn't paid. Cable TV and the cell phone the Company used to call you on.....hmmmm thing of the past that was a luxury and went away first. The "boss" who is lazy, oh he/she is still employed and yes not working any harder matter of fact less but making more money because he saved the Company more money....now that you are gone he has saved yet another salary expense and their is some other fool there working doing the job of 3 people!!!!!!you fellow co-worker who lost their job at first, your old job and their own job and they are in the same situation you were in and the problem continues.....
So what should you do,,,,,,well here is mumbles advise:
Once an co-worker is terminated, spring into action. Place request in for days off that you currently have preferably a week. Let the lazy ass boss know that you will not be able to be reached while away and let him/her know that you will not have a cell phone anymore. THE REASON FOR THIS IS, WITHOUT YOU BEING THERE AND THE CO-WORKER NOT THERE THE WORK WILL HAVE TO BE DONE BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOU MAYBE EVEN FORCE THE LAZY ASS TO DO IT. NO PHONE CALLS BECAUSE THE LAZY ASS KNOWS HE/SHE CAN NOT CALL YOU.THE REASON FOR A WEEK....ONE IT MAKES SOMEONE ELSE COVER THE LOST SO-WORKERS JOB STARTING A HABIT TO FORM, TWO YOU CAN START PUTTING YOUR RESUME OUT THERE TO OTHER COMPANYS, CALLED,"PUTTING YOUR EGGS IN THE BASKET" IN CASE LAY ASS HAS INTENTIONS ON FIRING YOU, YOU HAVE A PLAN.
Now you return to work after your week of applying other places and no phone calls. Never pull your cell phone out at work, the "boss" would then know that you do have a cell phone, dont give that to him/her....once back at work limit conversation and stay busy on your duties with your job, even if you are not busy look busy. WHILE YOU ARE WORKING HARD OF COURSE, TAKE NOTICE TO WHAT LAZY ASS ASS IS DOING AND BEGIN KEEPING A JOURNAL OF HIS/HER ACTIONS WHAT HE/SHE DOESN'T DO OR DOES THAT YOU KNOW IS WRONG. CAUTION: NEVER LET ANYONE READ YOUR JOURNAL OR LEAVE IT AROUND. THIS JOURNAL MUST BE VERY DETAILED TIMES DATE AND WHAT HE/SHE DID OR DIDN'T DO, EXAMPLE...LEAVING EARLY,BAD LANGUAGE, ECT.....
okay so now you have your journal which is basically you stacking the bullets for the gun.....times goes on and if the "boss" comes to you asking to double your load you have YOUR AMMUNITION...you have been accumulating it in your journal. When the "boss" keps pushing you to do extra work....well it is time. Find his/her bosses numner and make the call. REMEMBER BE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND NICE AND POLITE SET UP A TIME DAY TO MEET AND ASK THE "BOSS" BOSS TO OT SAY ANYTHING TO YOUR "BOSS" BECAUSE YOU FEAR RETALIATION.....YES USE THE EXACT WORK RETALIATION. COMPANIES HAVE A NO RETALIATION POLICY AND THAT KEY WORK SPARKS HIS MIND THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF THE POLICY. Now the big day comes....the bosses boss shows up and of course your "boss" you know the lazy ass.....is working like he/she has never worked before amazing, he/she really can work....YOU HAVE NOW FORCED THE "BOSS" TO DO SOME WORK, KUDOS TO YOU....OKAY NOW YOU TALK TO THE BOSSES , BOSS. BE CALM, RELAXED, AND BEGIN TALKING ABOUT YOUR CONCERNS. DO NOT BRING OUT THE JOURNAL YET. STATE HOW YOUR BOSS IS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE YOU DO DOUBLE WORK SINCE THE LOSS OF YOUR CO-WORKER AND EXPLAIN HOW HARD YOU WORK AND HOW DEDICATED YOU ARE TO THE COMPANY AND THAT IS WHY YOU SET THIS MEETING UP. LET THE BOSSES, BOSS KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE HIM/HER INFORMATION ABOUT YOU BOSS THAT IS ACCURATE AND SPECIFIC, YEP TIME TO PULL OUT THE JOURNAL...THE BOSSES, BOSS WILL BE TAKEN BACK AT LOOKING AT YOUR NEAT PROFESSIONAL BOOK. DO NOT EVER LET THE BOSSES, BOSS HAVE HOLD OF YOUR BOOK YOU ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HAND ON THE BOOK! ONCE THE BOSSES, BOSS IS TOLD ABOUT EVERYTHING ADVISE HIM/HER THAT YOU HAVE INTENTIONS OF FOLLOW UP WITH A RESOLUTION. LET HIM/HER KNOW THAT YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO YOUR LOCAL STATE LABOR DEPARTMENT PRIOR TO THIS CONVERSATION (THIS IS JOB SECURITY) AND YOU WERE INFORMED THAT IF ANYONE DOES RETALIATE AGAINST YOU, YOU WERE INSTRUCTED TO LET THE DEPT. OF LABOR KNOW ASAP. HE/SHE MAY ASK WHO YOU SPOKE WITH, POLITELY SAY, " I AM NOT AT LIBERTY TO REVEAL THIS INFORMATION AT THIS TIME" YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO TELL THAT INFORMATION. HE/SHE MAY ASK TO HAVE YOUR JOURNAL, NO TELL HIM/HER YOU WILL COPY THE PAGES ON THEIR COPIER AND ASSURE YOU HAVE THE PERMISSION OF HIM/HER PRIOR TO DOING SO.
You will find that the "boss" will be off your back and lazy ass will most likely lose his/her job. DO NOT BRAG ABOUT WHAT YOU DID OR ANYHTING YOU TALKED ABOUT WITH CO-WORKERS. You will find that even when a new "boss" comes in he/she will respect you or be afraid of you because the Company will tell him/her about you. REMEMBER KEEP DOING YOUR JOB AND DOING THE SAME LEVEL OF WORK ETHIS YOU HAVE ALWAYS HAD, DO NOT SLACK OFF BECAUSE YOU HAVE AMMUNITION. Yes this ammunition needs to be gathered early on, do now wait until the shit starts hitting the fan or you will just be labeled disgruntle employee at that point. Date all material in the journal showing prior to anything hitting the fan.
Well this is mumbles advise and I will not be responsible if you use this information and you do not get the results mentioned here.
Let's face it though, we all either have been in this situation, are in this situation, or could potentially be placed into this situation. I felt the need to publish this to help relieve the people out there who have fell victim to BIG COMPANY bullshit.....This will prevent the mental and physical ailments you will endure if this was to happen to you.
oh and you wonder why I put in there about the eggs in the basket.....well best case sernio another employer calls you while you are employed still by the Company you fought and offers you better oppotunity and better money....weigh it out then make the decision, if you do leave give the formal 2 week notice and then leave. Let your closest work friend in the old Company all about your journal at this point to protect his/her job and let him/her know that i needed you will let him/her borrow your journal along with the journal they are keeping.
Good luck and it sucks we have to play hard ball with these employers but we need job security and right now employers feel as though they have the upper hand with unemployment rate so high and not an over abundance of jobs out there, they feel you are replacable easily......
These are the words of Mumbles........good luck in your career......

Let your closest work friend in the old Company all about your journal at this point to protect his/her job and let him/her know that i needed you will let him/her borrow your journal along with the journal they are keeping.
Good luck and it sucks we have to play hard ball with these employers but we need job security and right now employers feel as though they have the upper hand with unemployment rate so high and not an over abundance of jobs out there, they feel you are replacable easily......
These are the words of Mumbles........good luck in your career......
saga of the roller coaster of life part 4
Okay now this is beginning to look like those stupid series of scarey movies like Halloween, Nightmare on elm street, and friday the 13th....yea like they couldn't stop with just a one time hit or something new.....nooooo they have to keep it going.....okay off track and getting back on. I will not have a series this is my last post about this particular topic (for now). Well after my DMV expierence today yep Beaner and I hit the road for the great State of Maryland.......Well got to our location yea work!!!!!! it was an unfortunete day for an Associate of one of their local grocery stores. Beaner and I find our subject and watch Ms. Stealy and then we drag her back into the office and interrogate her. Ms. Stealy admits to some theft that she committed but justifies it by saying she didn't think such a BIG company would suffer, dumb azz Ms. Stealy didn't realize that with her ripping the Company off effect everyone employed and earning an honest living. Ms. Stealy's remarks about how she justifies it just straight pissed me off, I couldn't show my emotion though......I just walked out of the office leaving her with Beaner and female witness....what did I do? Yep I called the local Police Department......I then walked back into the room smiling from ear to ear and informed Ms. Stealy that we were now waiting for the Police. Tears flowed like someone had turned on an outside fawcet, oh not so funny now!!!! Police arrive famale Police Officer and I tell Ms. Cop what Ms. Stealy logic was ripping off the Company. Well Ms.Cop didnt find that to be a good answer and told Ms. Stealy that she was under arrest. So that was that other than the 90 pages of paperwork that I had to complete and the 15 e-mails I had to send out. Meanwhile Crash was content and was sending me pictures of c-dog and s-dog acting lazy and sleepy. Beaner and I were suppose to go to another location in bum f*ck Maryland far away but after the lots of paperwork and e-mails we decided against the drive and headed home.....yep we made a joint decision to travel home, made crash happy and also Ms. Airlines. Well lets of traffic but not too bad beaner and I talked the way home about how tomorrow we have to make that trip to bum f*ck Maryland. Tomorrow I may not be able to blog for we may be staying there to complete our work.........were see though. Beaner and I both agree we like coming home. Well got home after driving on that scarey raod I-95 North bound. I have to say overall the day ended up being okay and I think I am riding the middle rail, how long who knows!!!!!! If I have to stay in Maryland tomorrow night well may be on the low rail. Well people it is early in the morning and time for bed. Until tomorrow and the next saga, goodnight

roller coaster of life part 2
Well wanted to blog on yes this day is still a little rough but can say got something accomplished. Took a trip to the local DMV yes the great Department Motor of Vehicle......usually you get nothing but attitude and long lines and a hard time from the employee's. Today though we(crash) went in got in line and with in 5 minutes were actually waited on. To suprise me even more the woman behind the counter not only was pleasant and friendly but helpful. Wow we were in and out of there in less than 20 minutes..........Was this just a miracle? Well "Crash" was actually starting to break a slight smile as we attached the new 2010 sticker to the license plate........Well with everything starting to actually look up I suggested that we go and stuff our faces. We went to a favorite small local spot and ate like pigs, getting our usual.
We ate and then talked about how we need to really start working out in the gym again.....yea we pay gym memberships monthly and at first used it almost everyday. Now we are lucky if we get there once every 3 weeks. For me, beginning next week I will be there every day. I need to lose 20 pounds and can't do it eating late, not exercising and eating junk food. This will all come to a stop on Monday.......Well still need to make that long trip to Maryland today and on the road majority of the time, may come home, may not depends on my friend beaner, yep you heard it right his name is beaner! We may have to bunk overnight depending on the time we actually get done. We shall see though!!!!!! Well lets hope the day gets better as it goes on. Crash seems to be content for now (which is a good thing) and Crash is chilly no, freaking cold and under a snuggie..........well readers have to get ready to hit the road because beaner is waiting on me.........lets all hope for the high rail for the rest of the day

The never ending ride of life
Well people here it is first thing in the morning and already off to a horrible start!!!! I get out of bed and notice it is raining, imagine that still raining. Considering building an ark rather than work today, but can't do that need to make money to pay bills not an ark. Okay off track, so then seeing the rain, feeling every ache in my body (because of the rain) I decide to start my morning, well can't start right away now because of course the cell phone is ringing. Look at the phone who is it? Yep my boss! She wants to ask questions of course that I have no answers to which of course leads me to have to make more phone calls to get the answers. Made the calls (of course no body ever answers voicemail) that is another blog though! I call back my boss to let her know that I have calls out to get answers. Keeping in mind I have yet to shower, get dressed, etc.....For future reference we will call my boss, Sassy. I finally sit down for a minute, after my boss episode and then have to answer to "crash". "Crash" begins asking me questions now that I have no answers to....Oh did I mention that all this happening and the trash men, oops Sanitation engineers come and only take one can full of trash leaving behind the other big trash can full of garbage, thats right this is the 4th week they didn't take it and I don't know why other than maybe it is too heavy for the weaklings.....So now I have decided to blog this great morning. I am sure the day will only get worse oops better. It seems like "life" is just a long roller coaster ride and when things are okay or good you are on the top rail, then not long there it comes blasting down on the bottom rail and continues to stay there 3x as long as the okay or good time (top rail). Only wish I could find a way to stay on the middle rail........you know the one where your not at the top but not at the bottom. How can one achieve or find this? Well if someone out there finds out the answer please let me know and believe me you would be rich!!!!! Well the day needs to go on and I must shower and get dressed then hit the road.....yep of course I will be driving like always on the highway to get to work and if lucky enough we will get done early enough to make the long drive home. Yes you got it....working out of state what a joy!!!!!!!! Will blog later tomorrow and in the mean time think about how one can achieve to ride the middle rail. I just want to get a break. Everyone deserves a break once in a while......as a wise azz oops wise one would say, "my turn" to have a break that is. Well people hope you are/did/or do have a great rainy dreary day. My day, already started out on that never ending ride.
Nosey people
Ever wonder why people have to always know what you are doing or they listen to your conversations? Well I have much knowledge on this topic. Lets just say I know someone we will call "Crash" who wants to know what I am doing, where I am or have been, what time I will be here or there ect.......Nosey people really bother me because they all up in your cool aid all the time. well let me end this now because ms "crash" is questioning oh once again.
