The Eff word

I love the eff word, it is a big part of my vocabulary. For some it may seem to indicate I'm an uneducated cad. Not true, I cry! I just love the way it rolls off my tongue as I talk.

The eff word is multi-purpose, it can be used as an adjective, a noun, and a verb....all within the same sentence.

You know the old saying about cussing like a sailor? Well, I guess that is where I learned to love my favorite word.

My wife? She hates it....especially when I'm excited about something we're talking about. You see that's when the word flows like water. I can't help myself, sometimes I don't even realize what I've said.

I have been using the eff word quite a bit lately. Especially when in reference to the company I work for, and the scabs that have crossed our line.

Fuck it.................and them.

I found a secret way to lose weight!

Need to lose weight in hurry...........................just go on strike!


I've lost 15 lbs. since the strike has started...........................I may have to sell this secret on one of those late night infomercials.

Fire Good

For those of you that are wondering, I do my time at the Southgate. Last weekend I was there at night, putting in my eight hours so I could get my $150 weekly check. Being bored and pissed, we do what all bored people do when there is an available fire to play with.....we made it bigger.....much bigger.

One of the people didn't like the burn barrel approach, so he manufactured a fire pit, complete with cinder block stand. Being one of two fire bugs there that night, we decided it would be fun to burn a pallet accross the the pit. It made fire big...so dumb rocket techs decide we need bigger fire....we need two pallets!

We set the pallets into the pit, so that they leaned together. As the flames climbed the pallets, we moved our nylon and plastic chairs back. We then decided that sunglasses at this point would have been appropriate. As I watched the flames grow, I also noticed that the spark count had risen dramatically, as well as the size of said sparks. So being the self-designated fire bug safety rep. I grabbed our fire extinguisher and stood watch over the tent. Fortunately it's use was not called for, but upon further inspection today, there are several burns on the tent's roof. I say fortunately because I doubt the fire bottle would have had enough agent to fight a small kitchen fire.

Next time........three pallets!

Happy New Year?

I haven't been around alot lately, or at all for that matter, because I have been trying to make ends meet. We have been out for over 62 days now. It has been really difficult to keep my sanity in all this.

After all this time out, we are all starting to wonder if we did the right thing. What sucks about it all is that the folks in Huntington Beach, California all but gave up, a big majority of them crossed within the first week. While the rest of us carry the burden for them.

I have thought about crossing the line sevweral times. But each time the thought comes in I shudder a little, and think about how I could look myself in the mirror. Let alone face my co-workers.

I have thought about applying to one of the threme parks here in central Florida. Even if we do go back, I don't think I could work for a company that would keep us out through the holidays. I say them, because they are the ones that refuse to come to the table. I just don't think that I will be there much longer. I would love to get back West again. I miss the mountains, the trout fishing, and the hunting.

Anyways, that's my update......Happy New Year everyone.
