So, I’m a little late, but I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and got everything they wanted. My Christmas was pretty quiet… I worked Christmas Eve, my dad picked me up in the morning, and we unwrapped presents before I promptly passed out on the couch downstairs from exhaustion. I woke up in time for dinner, but I went back to sleep soon after that.
I’m so rested now… it feels really good. Unfortunately I have to go back to work tonight. I’ve really been hating my job lately, seeing as how my boss has been taking his frustrations out on us and being a huge asshole. He actually came into the lunch room during break a couple of days ago, and told us all that our “work ethic was bullshit” and we were all a bunch of lazy, good-for-nothing slackers. Yeah, as if that would galvanize me to try and work harder? Yeah right. I was so angry I almost walked out. I was like… frothing at the mouth angry. It’s only thing to be rude, but it’s a completely different thing to paint us all with the same brush. If it doesn’t get better now that the holiday rush is over… I will be transferring to day shift, and that will be the end of that.
Thank you to everyone who commented on the new layout – I really appreciate it. I’m actually really proud of this one, because I actually did this one with little to no help. All the problems, I actually figured them out myself. Which I am taking as a good sign that my coding abilities, and my understanding of WordPress, are getting better. To all who were wondering, the group of men featured in this layout is the Polish black metal band Behemoth, who I have taken quite a shine too. The photo is from their photoshoot for their newest album, Evangelion, and the lyrics are from that album’s first single, “Ov Fire And The Void.” If you have a moment, you should really look that song up… the music video is amazing.
I was glancing at my schedule for next week, and it looks like I am not scheduled to work on Monday, along with my usual two days. I’m really happy about this, because it will give me a chance to catch up on my housework, as well as ample time to get some work done on this site. My goal is to have my poetry site up (at least the main page), both my Filth clique and my Black Bird fanlisting re-done with new layouts and content (and I need to get some affiliation for those to spread the word) and some of the content up for the content section of this site. Excited? Very much so. I think I finally have some of my creative juices back.
Your boss sounds like a total asshole. No offense if you respect him or anything, but man … I would’ve freaked out a long time ago all over his ass.
One thing, though — While grouping you all together was totally asinine, at least he didn’t single you out from all the rest. That’s what my old ((female)) boss used to do, and since I wasn’t as headstrong back then as I am now, I’d often come home and cry over the way she constantly belittled me.
I seriously have zero tolerence for that kind of shit now, though. I’d rather be living on the fucking streets than be under the control of a dickhead like that, man. Of course, I don’t claim to be the most mature or logical person around.
Kudos to you for sticking it out, that takes control.
I’m glad you had a good Christmas!
Mallory’s right, your boss does sound like a jerk.. That’s why I’m glad I don’t have one! I’ve never really had a boss that I’ve completely gotten along with. I’m just the type that NEEDS to be self-employed to be happy.
& I’d love to have you involved with the project – I’ll be emailing everyone involved around mid-January so we can start plotting! ;D
Enjoy your time off!!

Wow, the more I hear about your boss the more I wanna drive over there and do some asskicking. I’m glad you got caught up on your sleep.
that’s a christmas gift within itself.
Behemoth sounds like a great band. I’ll check out the video when I have a better connection.
