Well here it is the middle of the work week. I am getting so sick of one of the poeple I work with. She is basically a nice person when she wants to be, it is her "drama queen" personality that gets to me. She will cry at work for the stupidest things. She puts herself under too much stress. One thing that really annoys me is that she is always bitching that she needs help. That is fine and I do not have a problem with that. the problem is she told me today that she prefers not to have help because she feels she has to babysit the person. WTF!! I did not know what to say, she wants it both ways, bitch when she doesn't have help and bitch when she does. Her attitude and the way she talks to her co-workers is bad. She feels that she is perfect and heaven forbid if you make a mistake in her area, the world is gonna end. Get real. She is clipping plastic parts that come out of a machine and using a hot stamp (uses heat to transfer a copper foil) to finish the piece off. I have had her come to me and shove a piece under my nose and actually say "I found this in the box with the deer, does it look like a deer, are you blind" Good thing she left fast because the deer was going to go on a little journey where the sun don't shine. She has her grown daughter living at home again (she is 19) she quite school, will not work and just parties all the time and expects her mother to pay her bills, which she does. More about this tommorrow. I want to read the paper and hit the sack early. Peace and Love

Well I finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase a digital camera. I have to do some research because I am totally clueless about pixals etc. I hate it when the sales person looks at you like they see "sucker" written on your forehead. I can just see it, me asking questions and him thinking, boy I an really sell this person something over priced and she will never know.
At work today me and the girl I work with decided we have been working together too long. We get along great (better then some of the fights that happen in other areas) and actually enjoy each others personality and sense of fun. It has gotten to the point that today we were both thinking of a woman who retired a few months ago. We have the same ideas at times but the scary part was when she was cutting some postcards, some postcard pieces flew out of the machine, we looked at each other and made the EXACT same sound. It was so funny that we both burst out laughing. She is such a nice woman (10 years younger then me) who has very bad luck. If something can go wrong with her it goes wrong big time. She has to have her wisdom teeth pulled and she was worried. I told her that it isn't that bad. Well she got infection after infection, dry socket and canker sores in her mouth big time. I am a firm believer in Karma so I keep teasing her that in a previous life she must have been really really bad.
Well that is it for today. If anyone has and idea about cameras please help me with my research. I need to know what to look for, what features are good. I will just be using it for personal use and to get some pictures posted on my blog etc.

Well it looks like she will be okay. They are phasing out lines one at a time and as your line stops, you are terminated. She may be retiring in June or July instead of Sept. The one good thing is she will still get her full company pension. They are paying everyone for this whole week even though they are off right now while they have the meetings. So my mom worked for 7 hours on monday, went to an hour and a half meeting and she will get paid for 80hrs.
The one thing I do not agree with is the way they are telling people their jobs are done. Instead of saying to them "your line is done by such and such a date" they are mailing the persons separation papers to their homes two weeks before their last working day. At least tell them face to face. The part timers are all gone already and were told to register with the local employment placement agency for when the company will get busier. Some people who are retiring in the next few years will get their full pensions also.
All I can say that in the towm no one is saying M'mm M'mm good.
Still waiting Buffy.
