September 2007

Theme for the day.

I am grumpy today.  I did not work out this morning because the dog was kind enough to piss on the floor again last night and getting the mop and bucket out doesn't make me want to work out afterwards.  Here's today's horoscope:

"Go with the flow" is your anthem for today, Shawneen. You will find the freedom you seek by simply following the path of least resistance. There is no reason for you not to be happy. Life doesn't need to be difficult or complicated. The thing to remember is that you should be one hundred percent yourself. People will react to you the way they need to. Don't worry about their feelings – they are not your responsibility.

What this means is that if you don't want the non-censored, straight from the hip, Sagittarius-type of answer, then you'd better not ask me because I'm not sparing feelings today.  The horoscope said I don't have to.

QotD: Coworker Superstars

Who are the people you've worked with over the years that you'd list as your Coworker Superstars? Why'd they make the cut? 
Submitted by bodhibound.

I've had quite a few jobs in my 17 years of working.  Man, that's depressing.  I've already been working for more than half my life.  Certainly some folks stand out and here are their props:

  • Jim Price – we worked together in a consultant type situation and he always kept me laughing.  Jim was awesome because even though it royally pissed his girlfriend off when we hung out, he kept hanging with me anyways.  No, nothing happened.
  • Pretty much the entire crew that opened the McKnight Road (no longer there) Don Pablo's – if you are into the industry, you know there's nothing like the family that opens a store from the ground up.  Those were some of the best times ever and I miss you guys.
  • Jay and Cesar – only I would let these two take me under their collective wing at Houlihan's.  Thanks for taking me to RAW, boys.  Have you seen Dee?
  • Risko – not only did she supply me with two jobs after I moved to PA from NY, she's a great drinking buddy and vacation planner.  The Ocean City trip will forever live in infamy.
  • Nate, Kim, Arano, Tiger – all those who gave me the encouragement, training, and opportunity to learn the circus arts.  You guys rock.  Yeah, I looked like a monster about the shoulders and arms but there are no perks that compare to the perks a circus GO gets.

This is how I see it

Thank you, Roboco, for giving me another quiz to take. 🙂

This is pretty accurate as I long for the 80s and 90s to make a comeback.  Those were the days.

You scored as Romanticist, Romanticism encourages society to look backwards to find our solutions. Your rationale is that things were much better a few hundred years ago so we should thus look back to those times and replace them in our modern society. You believe in a simple life and that the complexities of the modern world have turned it upside down.
