Come in hear dear boy have a cigar you're gonna go far, fly high, never gonna die, U'll make if if U try, their're gonna love you....they call it riding the gravy trainnnnn.

70 degrees outside, on porch Pepperwood Pinot Noir 9 bucks a bottle at Carrs. No I didn't take the money and run. In fact I got a mid year bonus and got voted on to the Company board of directors. I had major some party action night b4 the mtg, and nodded throughout the entire meeting. Talk about lame???

Thinking of resigning from the FIRM. The job has become no fun. I need to leave before I self destruct. That is the way I work. If I don't have challenges that I want to pursue I sabotage myself, I need to exit before I self destruct. Even more important I need to find something to keep me busy so I won't self destruct. Thinking about going to visit my friend Sara Jane in the Virgin Islands. The ex always said I was an emotional island to myself. This weekend was one of those times I have to admit that a partner to hold up the fort while I lick my wounds would have been nice to hold on to. Regardless tomorrow is Monday. I'll strap on my armor and proceed fearlessly. "caught between the longing for love and the struggle for the legal tender"

What bull shit, I want my own company. I want to kick ass and take names. I want a building that is part of the Anchorage skyline. The conclusion is PDC won't get me there so G-Daddy is outta there. I'll keep you posted my friends but the time is either act now or wither and die.

I AIN'T ABOUT DYING AT THIS FUCKING TIME. G-Daddy is OUT!!

General Ketchup Post

Holy mackerel it has been a long time.

G-Daddy was playing way to much. Good thing the kid is home from school now I have to clean-up my act. He arrived just in time. I didn't know how much I lived for them until I realized that with sons at 17 and 19 that purpose for life is almost gone. It is sooooo easy to stray back to street bullshit. The punkster pulled a 3.8 gpa and landed a job came home Friday, was working on Monday. Proud dad puffed out chest here.

1. I tried to rent the spare room out that was a mistake. It always is, she was a user and wanted to pay in dope. Threw out dope user b4 son arrived home.
2. LaRhinda is gone also, she moved to Colorado. That was crazy she missed first flight had to stay extra days until she was able to leave. Still friends but in this case distance is a good thing we corrupt each other. Watched her spike once--pathetic and scary--double yuk, it was very sad sad sad.
3. Need to get all bills paid, behind but recoverable, again playing, to much fun. I really need to deal with this midlife crisis crapola.

Ta da corporate chronicles is the next post. Ya'll please respond let me know U are still out there. Final note it is summer here, for some reason the hornets keep flying in the house? What is up with that?

Thanks all

Update - I'm at the restaurant up the street from my house. It has wifi so I can browse, chat, blog, whatever. All is the same I still hate the job. I've been bleeding into the bonus money so buying more company shares isn't and option. I know the way I work. basically I never really wanted to buy more shares, so I subconsciously spent the money. I'm going to start a new thread, on my new vocation/job search. I just think a continued focus and blog entries just restraint me and focus energy on something I want out of. Yeh I'll keep ya'll posted on a few fiery e-mails and spats. but just the really crazy stuff. OK short history session. G-Daddy is down on work, in the past I've made efforts to leave. Boss offers crazy "perf bonus" and I stay. Mark my words this time it is going to be. "take the money and run,.. go on take the money and run"

Other Stuff as I Promised

Well the first thought is I have very little life to write about outside of work, my sons and LaRhinda. In addition to that LaRhinda isn't a sexual relationship just a friendship with some wild adventuresome circumstances. Crazy man crazy.

Good news is Primo, #1 son, is still in the dorms. Has no money, his loving father just sent him nine pickles (OK dudes and dudettes where did that come from lol) Need to send him some Gonzo Hunter books in a care package. I hated and loved care packages from my mom in college. There was always cool stuff and them some really wack shit.

Segondo, #2 son, and I are working on the little Suzuki Sidekick for his wheels. Need to get the registration current and sign it over to him. He is caught in the classic need a car for a job -vs- need a a job for car. catch 22. He is trying to earn money for a school trip to Costa Rica. I wish I could speak another language...I'm so American my English even sucks.

What else. I saw Sideways the movie. It was great!!!! A classic buddy/adventure movie. Sandra Ho was great. Part where Paul GIamatti tell about his love of the Pinot Noir grape and the lady talks about her passion for wine is awesome. Chronicles and LaRhinda update to follow.

Later folks

OK I need a life this is the last chronicle entry for a while. Same with the LaRhinda action I have other shit going on to blog about. (I think?) G-Daddy drops the hammer on a lowly draftsman.

Dick Draftsman
It is a production department task to fix things like this. This is an engineering firm and the role of administration, production, accounting, and marketing are all functions to support the business of engineering design. The number #1 task of production is to assist engineering with the task of drawing. You should and need to let the engineers know of a problem but you should also correct the errors whenever you see them. The role of good draftsman is equivalent of a nurse to a surgeon, or a paralegal to a lawyer. Engineers want a GOOD draftsman to fix and complete their drawings. Example, H for the Structural and Civil department, they don’t let anyone else touch their work because they all love H's work. We don’t want draftsmen that don’t comprehend or look at what they draw. We don’t need people in the production department that don’t show any initiative to fix errors. If you see something that doesn’t look correct but are not sure notify the engineer. If you are sure it is incorrect, fix the error and let the engineer know what you did. Simply stated, don’t tell engineers to fix drawings, it is YOUR job to fix the drawings and make sure the graphic presentation is correct, clear, and concise.

That is it! I don't want to manage ppl. I'll manage a project. I'll deal with clients, but dealing with the dysfunctional folks at my office is bogus. I know, I have am apiece of the problem myself but still I hate it (today anyway). There is a level of dysfunctionality in almost every department except Civil and Strut. We should use the reorganization to get rid of all of the deadwood. We need to purge the incompetent and complacent folks and just keep the willing workers. I doubt there would be any big losses in the office productivity, in fact their might be a gain. Historically it takes us a real long time to fire someone.
