WARNING: BITTER RANT
Well, my boss called me in Friday to give "potential good news," that I "might" get my hours increased--- I have been asking for 10 years! I was given some "contingent" extra hours, but they will be running out... I was very pissed off-- ?potential good news? I told my boss to give me a time line and odds this will really happen. He said "likely"... yeah,Right! (my parrot loves to say that) I also told him thanks for getting my hopes up (he has passed me over so many times, and the newbies never lasted more than a year!)and next time hold the announcement until he has something ready for me to sign--- I am going to enforce that this is a no B.S. zone, I don't speak bureaucratese, and if boss wants something extra, pay for it or forget it! So this year ,he gets nothing extra-- I have been practising the line "what part of No do you not understand". I told my boss to annouce things to me in writing-- so many times he has said "I may have something for you"..then "sorry , it fell through". Yet other people were hired ! Well, we'll see what he does. But frankly , he lost my trust a long time ago. And lost the trust of most of my co-workers. Ah, where is Wolfwood when you need him-- he could give my boss a pretty good tongue lashing! (I think Vash would react like me and get pissed off, then isolate and cry). So I am going to book events for every holiday way in advance, and refuse to work a holiday weekend-- I have worked them for 4 years in a row (2 people get exempted every year) and I work as many holidays and weekends as the full time people-- they say that is fair, but I do not. I have put up with this stuff, but this year will be right by the book until someone rectifies the situation. done that 4 years in a row. Sorry for this rant today, but it just burns me up! I have worked here for 15 years, why do I stay-- co-workers and clients, but my boss is wearing me thin! But , I do believe in karma, and when he needs help (he did in Dec, and I did it), now I will walk on by...and what goes around, does come around! (I just want to be there when it does-- to see how he takes it!) Sorry for the rant, but this has been bothering me quite a bit!

I really appreciate the support I have gotten from my friends here on MyO, as we say in the East "youse guys are da best!" and you help more than you know. Hello to Panda, Kitsune Tsuki, TheMouse,CosmicSailor, Caprice and Conneryalexis!
Here's a photograph from my last outing (maybe I will go to Little Tokyo in LA this weekend to put the mess behind me!)



Love and peace!
