I’m tired tonight and I fell asleep on the couch watching TV. I hate when I do that because I feel out of it for the rest of the night. Tomorrow is Friday so I can get some sleep tomorrow night if need be. Tammy and I are going to see Open Water tomorrow afternoon and then are usual dinner at Good Friends. What a day it was today. The ass kissers had an appreciation breakfast for Casey. I didn’t want to participate so Sallie felt the need to hassle me for the past couple of days. Casey’s been taking over for Kitty while she’s out on maternity leave and he’s one of those delegators that I really can’t stand. He also likes to make himself look good at any cost and is also one of those do as I say not as I do kind of boss’. The one thing that I prided myself on when I was in management was that I made sure that I could do the job that I asked of people and I never took credit for something that I delegated to an employee. I always admitted when I was wrong and I was fair and never tried to reprimand employees for doing something that I did like personal calls for example unless it was just totally out of control, after all this is a business and there is a time and place for that kind of thing.
I found out this morning that he was thinking about writing us all up for excessive talking and personal e-mail. Keep in mind that he chats with his buddies all day and one in particular is at his desk way more than I’m ever at Christi’s desk. There are a couple of people that are a bit excessive with their e-mails but the thing is that he never said anything to anyone. He’d rather sneak around behind our backs and try to get us that way then actually say something in our weekly team meeting. He’s a coward for that and I will be one of many going straight to HR is he tries to write us up without proper warning.
Partylite is not going well at all. I can’t book a show to save my fucking life. I’m way over it and I’m frustrated as hell. I’ve had 2 shows since I started in June and there were 5 at one and 2 at the other. The others were book parties so I didn’t have to do anything. I’ve even started getting pushy and I hate that but all I get is, “Oh I want to book a party.” But I can never pin them down to a date or they cancel. I have 2 book parties going on right now so at least I’ll get some money coming in soon. I’m going to talk to Rebecca about it on Monday on our way to the meeting. I don’t think Betty is going to get more than $200.00 for her show and I’m hoping that Julie can get at least $400.00. I keep getting the “It’s too expensive and I’m broke” excuse from everyone I ask. It’s the best time ever to have a party because the host credit is 30% instead of 25% for this month and that’s never been done before.
I looked at my cable/internet bill on line and about had a heart attack! It was over $400.00 and I knew that I paid $267.00 last month. I’m going to have to call them to get a correct amount because there is no fucking way that it can be $200.00 for one month and they didn’t cancel Starz like I asked them to and charged me $15.99 yet again for 1 fucking channel. I swear they might as well just bend me over and fuck me with splintered balsa wood! What a fucking rip off they are with their digital channels and such. I think I might be going to a lower plan soon. I can always get the DVDs when they come out of Six Feet Under, Queer As Folk, and Dead Like Me. I’m really sick and tired of getting the shaft every month.
Chew on that!
