10 Dec '07 -
I was in a foul, I mean real foul mood this weekend. I snapped at the wife, the daughter, and literally would have killed the dog if it wasn't so fast. The dog was the smartest of the three. I never saw hide nor hair of it most of the weekend.
I have to learn to keep my work at work. Period.
On an upbeat note, the Christmas dance Friday was a resounding success. I danced like an angry monkey! That is from a description of how Matthew Maconaghy(?)dances. I thought it would be cool to emulate him sans naked bongo playing with male friends...eeeewwww!
Back to my work. I am an engineer at a hospital. I just had a new boiler room built for me over a year ago. New everything. It is still a manual boiler roon inspite of the technological improvements. North American work ethics and quality suck! Give me Japanese or German any day. That doesn't sound patriotic but it is the truth! Repetive failures abound, the physical replacements are easy, it's getting into the control programming to get the equipiment to recognize that new equiment has been added is the problem. K.I.S.S., Keep it simple stupid is the Golden rule of mechanics, except for Hemi engines, a sweet bit of engineering there ..... schwiiiing! If one more of my co-workers allude to me being the maytag repairmain, I will go to the powers that be and say "Hire another engineer or give me one of the floor maintenance persons for a month, exclusively for me" that will shut them up.
I have some serious damage control to do at home, nothing has been said or inferred, but my marriage is teetering because of this past weekend, my fault totally. 100% mine.
I will never like the dog. I just don't beleive in animals living in the house with humans. How popular am I now?
Sunday the wife and I settled where I stand in the pecking order:
1) The wife.
2) The daughter.
3) The fucking dog.
4) Any future pets.
5) Me!
At least I beat out the kitchen trashcan. Barely. Eat my tri-stained jockeys Rubbermaid product!
On a more sexual note, the Toy wants to go out with my wife this Thursday...Yah!
Later
