Something is upsetting me.
That’s actually putting it very kindly.
I am down right bothered to tell the truth!
About what you might ask?
Well, let me tell you!
About a month ago I was in a meeting, that was by mistake it seemed because it had nothing to do with me, and was informed that things in that section where going to change.
So, that very day I find out that my supervisors supervisor was being transferred.
OK, that king of sucked.
I mean I had know and worked with this person for years now and we had a good working understanding of each other.
Then, about 2 weeks ago my supervisor got moved to another position against his will as well.
This one was a shocker, I mean he had been doing the job for about 10 years.
All of this leads us to me saying that we have new management … we all know how that works out don’t we?

So now we have to bounce back about 2 weeks … this would be a lot more fun if we had like a magical time traveling trampoline now wouldn’t it?
I am going through my morning list of opening things up and a blue car I have never scene pulls up and is just sitting in the parking lot.
I assume based on my, well exceptional knowledge of the Departments fleet as I worked over it for 7+ years, that this is a civilians vehicle and they are waiting for there loved one to get out of prison and made a wrong turn ending up here.
They said hello, and I said hello back life goes on as I walk away.
I walk into my building and do the rest of my morning jobs about 70 yards away from and with a building between us from where this person is.
Low and behold, I find out latter that this person was in fact in an unmarked department car and was honking her horn trying to get my attention after I had entered the building because she didn’t want to pump her own gas and wanted me to do it for her.
Um, sure, if I had known I would have because that’s the kind of guy I am.
But once I am inside a solid poured block building 70 yards away with another building between us … well it gets a little hard to hear you.

Well, it turns out that this person was a high ranking person in the region, and also dating another high ranking person.
So, I got an ear full and was told to be nicer because I was rude and unhelpful.
Yep, everyone who has heard this story laughs because they all know me at work and rude is not something I am.
Even the inmates say I am a nice guy.
OK, though, one verbal smack on the wrist in 10 years I can deal with.

So, yesterday I am getting ready to go back to my office when my boss’s boss says he needs to talk to me.
He then calls my new immediate supervisor in and the door gets shut.
Yep, what in the world is going on now?
So the bigger boss looks up and says that starting Monday I will no longer be helping out in automotive.
He said I have helped them out long enough and that I need to come back over and work with them again.
OK I think that he just slipped up and said Automotive instead of Maintenance
I look over to my immediate supervisor who has a slight jaw drop and look of shock.
I am immediately asked if I have my CDL and if I would like to go to a very good position that is in my ways not only a raise but one of the best jobs at the Prison.
I said no and was then told I would be staying on my shift and would get to figure out what I wanted to do.
Um, OK, am I in trouble or not?
I then asked why I was getting moved and the only response I got was “We have already spoken about one of the reasons.”
So, I say my farewells and let them know if who ever gets the job needs my help to just have them reach me and I walk out.
I am walking around in a daze and people are asking me what’s wrong and I just say stuff on my mind but I go to a couple of people and ask if they knew about it.
The answer was no all around and a look of shock and surprise.
Here is why …
1) The Maintenance Superintendent is out for another month on medical leave
2) We have a Big Audit on Tuesday and I am the only one who knows what’s going on down there.

So, I put on my good employee face and did what anyone in my shoes would have.
I went down and got everything ready for the big audit, got back and then packed up all of my stuff.
I called my boss and told him I was leaving early, taking Monday off and reminded him I was going to school on Tuesday.
I then walked up to the Administration building and informed all of the Wardens staff of the situation, who had no clue about any of this I might add.
I told them what all I did as preparation, what all still needed to be done, and then walked in and turned my keys leaving for the day.

I don’t know what is going on.
I guess I am not in real trouble being that once again nothing on paper and I am not under investigation.
My job was done well and so much so that it should even be covered for the next guy for some time.
But, I liked what I did.
I injoyed the people and the freedoms it allotted.

I will keep you all in the loop, but it looks like I will be watching inmates push lawnmowers for now on.
Still not a bad job, just not the best job at the prison.
Yea, that’s right, I will still not be working for a living!

I can’t wait to get back Wednesday and see what the heck is going on, and possibly why?
I have some suspicions, and if they are right I feel bad for the people I just left because I am afraid they are trying to burn them … I have always been the guy who kept them out of the fire … now I am gone.
This might get really ugly really fast …

Big surprise, something is on my mind.
I know that for the last few weeks and/or months I really haven’t said to much about anything but as you all know I was busy working on a few other projects.
So now that I am slacking on them, I will come back to you and this!
You all know, I have ADHD I can’t do that many things at once!
Speaking of that, it really is a cop out for some.
Yes, there are certain people that have it and have difficulty functioning.
Me, and I am guessing 90+ percent of the rest of the world who have been diagnosed with it are just lame lackluster’ers if you will … hehe so not a word but I am so making it work aren’t I!
I mean the truth is, I can sit and play a video game for 4 hours or read a book I injoy for 4 hours and low and behold I don’t go crazy bored.
Put me in front of Paula Dean for 30 seconds and I am ready to leave the house.
That might just be because it is her though.
So, my thoughts on this are simple.
That is other then bad parenting all around, a government that has made it so we can’t even give our children bad looks, teachers/counselors who think they understand the child in there class better then everyone else because they spend an hour a day with them, doctors who are looking only for more visits and injoy handing out pills, big drug manufacturing companies who love pushing pills who then pay off congress so that they can, the truth of the situation is that we suck as parents and as a people.
Look around the world and tell me another country that has it’s kids on pills like we do.
Find me another country that has child as obese and un-educational as we are.

Everyone always says it’s all about our children, how they are the future.
Well, I am having a problem with people raising children who can’t do anything for themselves.
How can I as a parent teach my child advanced math when I don’t know the basic?
How can I teach them proper English when I speak so bad that I can’t even get a job as a drive threw operator at McWorld’ly?
We have lost so much in the last generation or so.
It used to be that one parent stayed home and helped the kids become people.
That changed, now the kids are lucky to have two parents in the same house.
Yea yea yea, I know I have said all of this before but I promise I am about to take it into another direction.

I have also said this before so don’t be surprised, we need to set up limitations on the aid we give to our people too.
How many people are getting government aid because they are overweight now?
I understand that in some cases it is a thyroid condition, or something else.
To put it bluntly, being fat is not a disorder, it’s a case of the lazy!
It’s because we, myself included, sit down for dinner and eat a whole pizza by ourselves immediately followed up by a sleeve of Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies … yes my murderers it is that time of year again!
So, because I am now fat and lazy and can’t find a job I get to now go and collect food stamps to get fatter … money to pay my bills because no one will hire me because I am a fat slob … and of course free medical care to cover the bed sours on my bottom I get from watching TV all day.

Everyone says that this is only for a little while thought and that we are helping them to get back on there feet until things get better.
When are people going to learn that things will only get better for these people once they pop out another child as so that they can get another 18 years of financial assistance from good old Uncle Sam?
I mean I just got my Social Security statement and it says that in 2032 I will only be paying $0.75 on the dollar of what is owed.
So let me get this strait, not only are my schools, Fire/Police/Corrections and every other local government agency taking a hit … but now I am in the long run as well?
This is going to far!
I have worked and put into this fund and it is MY G Gosh Darn Money, not some 400 pound single mother who has blown out the springs of the test sofa at Rent-A-Center on her first sitting.
It’s mine, give it to me!
Let’s do like China, if you are a burden of the state, charge the family!
Find out who is there next closest relative and take from there Social Security.
That way they might go smack the stupid lazy ingrate around … wait, they can’t do that because then the person working will go to jail and the person who got smacked will be diagnosed with something else making it so hat they can’t work for 2 more years.

Everyone needs help at some point.
I myself have been on the system, then I got a job and look at me know … I know, not much better.
We need a better process and better time lines.
You should only be allowed to receive so much money … O something like a low interest loan.
You have to earn so many points before you can collect it, or pay back so much into it as so you can get full use of it again if it is needed in the future.
Something like SOCIAL SECRITY … you know the thing I pay into but am not going to get but the illegal immigrants can and will … wait, that’s a whole other subject and topic …
These people sit around and tell each other who to talk to and what to say as to get the most money and benefits … we really need a better system!
Something like a double blind operation.
You bring in your information, documentation and verifications then you put it into a computer and someone in another place looks over it and verifies it then accepts and/or denies it.

Or, lets go the other direction I was thinking … that’s right GOVERNMENT WORK ASSIGNMENTS AND WORK FARMS!
That’s right!
We have all of these empty factories and open farm land.
Let’s open them back up and have work locations.
We take these people who just can’t find a job for years on end and say that they need food and clothing and move them out to the camps.
We have them making clothing and growing food for government aid.
We will supply housing and minimal wages as because there food and rent is now free.

Once we get this up and going we move over a few miles and low and behold we have the next set of factories that make things for other people such as, well, anything!
We start producing our own things again and stock the shelves of Waly-World with good old fashioned American Made products … just like it was originally designed to be.
Wait, we can’t just do this over night so how do we get the money for all of this you ask?
We put a darn import tax on incoming products form other counties.
Take a look at how many MILLIONS of items come into America every day.
Lets throw just a simple $0.01 tax on every item coming in and we will be rich in no time.
We will become a Nation of self supporting producers again and strengthen our own economy.
We also institute a rule that if you can’t support yourself enough to pay back what you have cost and/or projected burden that you will be on the State, you get booted out.
Yea, that sounds a little bad but if we don’t have consequences we will not have the positive effect we want.
And, although I am against abortion but am pro-choice because the government doesn’t have the right to tell us how to live, (Except in my future work camps that is) a mandatory birth control program will be enforced as well.
Something in the water s so people can’t cheat and not take it.

So, that’s what’s on my mind this week.
Aren’t you glad that I keep my mouth shut most of the time now?
We do though need to tax imported goods, give tax breaks for American Made products, put stipulations on Government aids, and take better care of our children.

Till next week …

Another commercial holiday forced a pone us by big business and hypocrites to make us point out that we love the significant other in our life.
This tends to bother me.
Last night for instance at 12am when I am at Wally-World picking up a few things I get stuck in line with 2 different groups of people.
The first was the group that I am forced to spend my tax dollars on so that they can feed and take care of there children, then spend there money on beer.
Then the second was all of the last minute shoppers who forgot that it was a special day and had to go buy things to prove that they do in fact love the current person of the moment that they are with.
It was a little crazy and took us 45 minutes to get through the line and only hade 3 groups of people in front of us … I hate people!
I also hate how rude people are now.
They where not to bad, everyone in line was so tired that no one talked, except the woman behind us who kept cursing into her phone very loudly.
I am talking more about how rude people in crowds are.
We went to the State Fair yesterday, that used to be a family tradition that no one does anymore but me but I will save that for another time … mind you I will probably get hate mail just for commenting about it this much …
The people there don’t seem to look around and or care at all about others.
I an be walking along and attempt to move out of the way of a person who isn’t looking and they still run into me.
Then they get upset and give me a dirty look.
We could be looking at something and then someone else walk right up and in between us and the thing that we are looking at and never say a word but stand there for a few minutes as if we are the bother.
I hate people.
It used to be that people form the South where known for kindness and being respectful, then we got invaded by Yankees and Illegal’s so much so that the true Southerners here in Central Florida seem to have died out.
People are always amazed that I, and La Wife, are actually from Florida because there are so few natives left.
Where did all of the Floridian’s go away to?
Because I think I want to go there too!
So, that’s it, I know my blog’s have been sucking lately and truthfully I don’t care to much at the moment.
I am so tired form walking around yesterday in the cold, and problems with Bar’s & Stripe’s.
I will try and be more witty and entertaining next week
Until then, watch YouTube!
