Take it with a grain of salt...

Fridays are always such a mixed bag. I never know when I walk in whether or not it’s going to be a chaotic mess, or an empty wasteland. There’s a general rule that if they’re working Saturday, then for some reason Friday sucks. Today is one of those exceptions. They’re running full steam tomorrow, but barely getting half mast today. That leaves another one of those days where we all spend more time trying to waste time than actually get any work done.

With a day like this, it’s hard to understand why anyone would start to panic when someone disappears for longer than usual, but then again, that someone is Serialkiller and there’s really no understanding the way the gears grind the mind of a mass murder. Sith Lord left the office for an hour to go take a certification test, which management approves of and pays for so long as it is work related. Unlike a normal day, where The JC is in charge and things run smoothly, Serialkiller was left at the helm while The JC was out. It’s sad, but Serialkiller is the most qualified and skilled, even if he does like the taste of blood and murder. That said; he still sucks as a manager.

While Sith Lord was out, Serialkiller couldn’t seem to figure out where he’d gone, when he’d be back, and what to do. He was asking everyone if they knew where he was and was visibly worried, as if The JC had told him before leaving “Alright now, Serialkiller. I’m leaving you in charge, if you lose any of them, I’ll rib your balls off and make you choke on them.” and he was taking it very literally. But then again, this is the biggest problem with Serialkiller. He takes his job WAY too serious.

In other news, I had lunch with an old co-worker, Alan Alda, and a friend in another department, and as any lunch with coworkers goes it pretty much revolved entirely around work. The funny thing is that everyone seems to have multiple versions of the same story. Let’s take Beardface’s rehiring as an example. His take on it was that he was called while still in Virginia, management practically begging for him to come back because he was in so tight with management and such a great employee. The story from other ends of the spectrum tells it that his biggest friend in management was the biggest obstacle to him coming back. She, Momma, did not want him because, supposedly because of attitude and personal problems. Then again, I’m sure my stories would sound completely different coming out of someone else’s lie-hole, not having been filtered through my ample imagination.

I have to work tomorrow, if I can’t get my Xbox working here, you may be hearing from me again…
