Morning.

Joel: What is a 'recognition' bonus? Does that mean that you've been there long enough for the ol' whip-craka to recognize you? And what's with the early morning corporate shit? Why do they do that? What's the best time of the year to get a bonus anyway? Not xmas, since you'd blow the wad on presents and shit, right?

Too many fucking questions this early, I know.

i think they recognized that if they didn't give me money, i would gouge their eyes out and skull fuck them.

actually, my whip cracking boss submitted two $50 recognition awards... i think because i keep showing up for work.

i am the 7th admin asst in less than 4 years, he has gone through 6 prior to me in 3 years. we do billing production for cellphone that acts like a walkie-talkie and supports a racing series (they used to be stock cars way back in the early 70's and you could buy a 500HP replica... fucking rules changed). anyway, my boss works 24/7, and i hold him in high regard.

this isn't early, i have been up since 4AM... that is a little earlier.

2 or 3 AM wake-up, that is early.

I'm up at three fucking thirty for work. As I'm a morning person, it's not a problem. It's the fucking night people belly-aching about me doing piroettes and dancing around at 5:30am that bugs the shit out of me. Hey! they kept me up all nite with their energy level.

And while I'm on this fucking thread...
Fuck! Another fucking chapter in my fucking book finished. Lessons learned and all that crap. One door closes so another fucking door can open. My only fucking solace is that I'm a bigger person for getting thru this fucking roller-coaster ride of a relationship.

BTW: I printed up that sig line about following the path, and becoming the master. It's taped to my fucking wall next to my computer. A reminder that if I feel like a fucking idiot, and berate myself for fucking up, I need only to look thru the eyes of the fucking master...and become the master. Master fuck up too, don't they? Sure they do!

Enuf fucking philosophy, I want coffee.
I'll be in my blanket fort until further notice.

This is the part I fail to understand... too dangerous... well, fuck yeah! that is part of the fucking allure

i am sure the above statement cuts a wide swath across a number of e-playa threads found herein... onto the "Fuck" thread

Thanks C-Fishy. You've given me an idea for a REAL fire-shooting toaster. Hmmmm. Someone talk me out of this before someone gets hurt.

Not me. You need to get in touch with Negativland. They used to end their shows by jamming while a toaster burnt toast and burst into flame.

Morning ya hosers! Nice September day dawning here on the EC.

Harvest time? Ah yes, harvest time. Those halcyon days carefully clipping and trimming in the barn and hanging the crops in the rafters. Did I ever tell you about the time the barn caught fire and the volunteer firefighters went all through the drying room? No? Well, only one of the them ever said anything. I gave him a bushel to keep his trap shut.

Good morning again,

And I hav'nt gone to sleep yet.

Guess that's something to feel like a good should be used to describe this morning.

There's a tiny breeze as the sunshine spreads out over the Spanish Springs valley here in Sparks, Nevada. My wife sleeps in and the buttermilk clouds huddle over the Pyramid Highway to the north. What's to stop me from cancelling my appointments and making the pilgrimage north? I guess I'll settle for a sprinkle of playa in my coffee.

DUH! I wanted to see when you posted it but I was rather bleary-eyed and looked at the "Joined" date :)

If anyone wants me, I will be out walking the plank.
