Workplace Vent Day

Gotta gripe about your gig or the people at said gig?  Let's hear it.

#1 - I got this chic in my ear who went thru hell & high water with fertility treatments & such, only to have this damn brat and now all she does is bitch about the costs of family health care, daycare, etc. *record scratch*  We (high ass premium paying folks) paid good damn money for the treatments she needed since she couldn't get it done naturally & now she wants to complain?!  Girl bye!

#2 - One of the directors dumped an apparel project on my desk, like I don't have anything else to do!  Doesn't he know this cut into my 9 to 5 online time?! *lol*

 

Anywho, the purpose of the apparel, with the company logo is to advertise, right?  Well maybe, since the jackass who had the bright idea wants the logo on the sleeve. *record scratch*  Now correct me if I'm wrong, but when you normally meet folks it's not sleeve 1st. Boy bye!

 

Even tho these folks tick me off damn near daily, I'm still ever thankful I have a J-O-B to come to & bitch about.

 

Your turn!

Thanks to Ning.com, I've been able to connect with my high school peers & friends...most I haven't talked to or seen in almost 20 years.

Country Boys

Not really "way back" like my usual Wednesday posts, but a certain country boy was on my mind & I decided to share this with y'all.

Happy Birthday Marvin!

Fantasy Fulfilled...almost

This may come as a shock to you, being the normally innocent creature that I am, but I've fantasized about being a stripper since I was 18. Not just stripping for my man...but doing it for the $$$. In this day & age, there's something to be said about tax-free income.

 

I did a little research & found a very reasonable stripper pole & platform (like the one picture above). I have plenty of room in my basement & that's where the set up will be. Hopefully with the $$$ I make, this thing will pay for itself.

 

I'll be 37 next month & I think I'm gonna plan a birthday party and invite a few choice male friends over to celebrate & to see how this works.

 

I also ordered a few "how-to strip" DVDs (Silkee said eBay was a treasure trove!) so I don't make a complete fool of myself. I already have the lingerie & clear heels. I think I want a wig too. One of those long curly ones.

 

So, who's coming to my birthday party?
