Viruses (Virusi)!


So, I'm on Ann Coulter's website, and I decide to venture off into republican land for a while and what do you know?!!!! I get a virus on my computer! Now, you might think I'm one of these crazy liberal lefties who likes to blame anyone and everyone, especially the right, for anything bad that might happen ever just because I am an America-hating, communist, fancy pants elitist, even if it such an event would only happen once. But guess what? Ever since I've been trying to see the right POV, my probing the other side has gotten me 4 viruses. (Virusi?) I go to lefty websites all the time! NO VIRUSI! The only reason I know it's from certain websites is because as soon as I visit an infected site, my virus program starts running, and freaks out. So what have I learned from all this? Not a lot from the right, seeing as I can't even access their websites without having to have my network administrator delete trojan virusi. I learned that you have to read print media to learn anything real about the right. OH! That's it! They don't want to give you FREE information, they want you to have to BUY their books! Wow, I see the light. ;)


July 4th weekend


Sunday was great! We rented the boat, cruised around, found a beach/alcove with warm water, drank, ate, swam, floated, listened to music and got in trouble with the boat police for having people hanging out on the front and the back of the boat while it was in motion. All in all, great times. I have pictures in my camera that I will have to display hopefully this weekend.


Today


So, I asked my supervisor if I had to come in early on Monday, seeing as it was a holiday and nobody would be at corporate to recieve our early reports (which is the only reason I come in early on Monday mornings.) She asked our boss and he said that everything is the same for Monday, meaning come in early because(I assumed) the people would be at corporate and we would have to get the reports out as usual in a timely fashion. So after the second night in a row of 5 hours sleep, I come draggin into work this morning. I start doing reports and something is not adding up. Time is ticking away, and I just can't think anymore, so I call my boss (who is in as well - he came in shortly after I did) to ask him if he could please take a look at this report because I can't see straight. He tells me not to worry about it, we're under no time constraints this morning. :0 I was slightly stunned for a minute, and then started to brew. Later, talking to him, I said, "If we're under no time constraints, why did I have to come in so early?" He said that, "He likes to get these things taken care of right away." Then later, as I'm thinking through this situation, I'm realizing that I'm the only one here. My supervisor is not here, and my boss came to work in a tank-top and shorts, so he's probably going home. We close at 6pm, but I usually leave at 4pm on Mondays. So I ask him, "Are you staying?" He laughs and says, "No..." I say, "So, I'm supposed to work for 12 hours today?" He says, "Oh yeah. Nobody told you that hey?" Then I say to him, "Well, if you would have let me come in at the regular time this morning then this wouldn't be an issue." He says, "Have you forgotten who you're talking to?" Then he starts joking around, "The shit rolls down the hill, and near the bottom is gets bigger and faster." So later (about an hour later) he can sense that I'm not happy about this situation. He says, "So, you OK with this?" This time I laughed at him and said, "And if I'm not, then what? You're not going to stay, nothings going to change, and I'll still be here till 6pm." He thanked me and then left (around 9am). So here I am, at work, for 12 hours without knowing about it first. Don't you think that they should have at least told me that on Friday when I called instead of letting me just do it without them having to tell me that face to face? Man! I'm pissed. I can't wait for my vacation already! Only 5 more weeks!
