Iceberg ahead Captain

They say that rats are the first to jump ship when it starts to sink.
Now you can take from that what you want, but me, it means its time to save my own skin, and I shall try just that.

Things at work are shall we say slow. so slow that over the weekend we managed to make $10 NZ over 8 hours, now things have been slow for a while now, were in a recession an all. But things are getting especially tight here, cost of products are going up, the boss is spending more than he can afford on product that doesn't sell and will more than likely never sell, customer counts are way down etc etc. now this may not be cause for alarm, but when they're looking at knocking down my hours by say half instead of addressing the real issue (over spending), well that gives me cause for alarm.

So now I'm wondering If I'll even have a job come the end of the month, which would be interesting given that I've planned to take 2 weeks off come the end of march.
So like any good rat, I'm planning my escape from this sinking ship.
Sink or swim, i gotta try, I'm guessing rats can swim?, lets hope this rat can.

Not really a humorous story like I'm used to posting I know, but maybe this will get a chuckle.

I checked my horoscope on Friday, it said that I'm having financial issues, that not to worry in a few weeks/months that will all disappear and I will be significantly happier.
Now lets get this out of the way. I don't generally buy into horoscopes, but this is one of those instances that could be true, I mean, lets face it, If I aint got no job and no money, then what financial issues could I have right ?

It's Monday

There is no cure for stupidity.

Nuff said

Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth!

another update, and so soon after the first.
So I tried setting up speech recognition on my PC at home.
I figured it would be faster and easier than typing out all the bullshit I want to put on the blog, I mean shit what could go wrong ?
So I begin the setup process, and wow it could not be easier, after about 20 mins of tutorial action I was good to go. Sweet I thought, lets get this fucker sorted and use it on the blog, an shit, it was easy to open the browser and blog, no issues at all, even logging in was simple.
So then it came to actually dictating to the blog. sweet lets give it a go.... yea na didn't fucken work, the recognition tab kept coming up "what did you say?" or it would just type out gibberish, after an hour or so of complete and utter failure, i said ...
"fuck it"
"what did you say?"
"oh fuck off"
"what did you say?"
"fuck, stop listening"
"what did you say?"
"say again"
"now ya just taking the piss ya fucker"
And I clicked that fucker closed, fuck that shit.

Now ya probably wondering, why the shit did you bother trying to set it up in the first place, well like I said I thought it would be easier, sometimes these events at work an what not happen so fast and my mind starts working fast and furious on how to word these stories that my typing cant keep up, and i end up getting shit muddled and it turns into a cluster fuck of fail.
Things like what I've just written are a lot easier to deal with, I can go back and add things, change things, it doesn't effect the outcome of the story. Does that even make sense ? I cant tell anymore..

It's the end of the world as we know it

So it's Jan 2012, and apparently the year the world ends, and you know what, I believe it.

As A new years resolution, i thought I would try being more tolerant, understanding and patient with the customers, 2 days back at work, and yea, na that went right out the window, tonight's had nothing but fucken morons

a couple of guys come in and want to play LoL (if you don't know what that is, then google it fucker(i will say it is a game though))
so they're on the PC's and one guy has no problems, the other, well fuck, comes out, "oh I cant play"
I go in to check, and hes using the windows start button, you know, the small one in the bottom left hand corner, and well there's nothing there, that's because we have a timer with bold lettering saying "CLICK HERE TO START"
so i show him to click here to start and hes all
"but but there's already a timer"
"yea that happens when I start the machine"
"but but I cant play!!"
I quickly show him to the shortcut for LoL, exit the room shaking my head, hoping for the end of the world real real quick.

Now I know it doesn't seem so bad, but imagine a whole night of these sorts of things and you start to get a small understanding of what happens here, these things are never just small events, they're snow ball effects, google it if you don't know what that is either.

Another example is the Indian lady I had in before, god nothing went right for her, oh and each an every time it was the computers fault aka my fault, In the end I had to just tell her to deal with it, as the chances of the 6 machines she used all having the same issue is just not possible, (family couldn't hear her) of course it couldn't be on there end, no no that's just silly, it was the machine she was on.

and just now some guy comes up.
"oh the machine just locked"
"yea that happens when ya timer is up"
"oh can I get 15 more minutes?"
"no, what I can do is just restart the machine for you without a timer, hows that sound?"
"I only want the 15..."
"yea well you see mate, we set a timer once, after that if you want more time, you have to watch it yourself. See it stops people getting up and asking for 15 after 15 all the time, so yea"
he just walked away.... thank fuck

anyways i'm fucken sick of typing
welcome to 2012, also I might try updating this more often, I think i'll have too
