Dress code

Here is the email work sent out about the new dress code. They must think we are the dirtiest most retarded pieces of trash.

Our Company's objective in establishing a dress code is to allow our employees to work comfortably in the workplace. Yet, we still need our employees to project a professional image for our customers, potential employees, and community visitors.

Our dress code is a combination of professional and business casual. Because all casual clothing is not suitable for the office, these guidelines will help you determine what is appropriate to wear to work. Clothing that works well for the beach, yard work, dance clubs, exercise sessions, and sports contests may not be appropriate for a professional appearance at work.

Suits are always appropriate attire. Casual attire may include dress slacks, dress shirt and tie and/or professional sweater. Shorts are only permitted in the warehouse environment and are to be the length of walking shorts. Proper under garments are required at all times.

Clothing that reveals any cleavage, your back, your chest, your stomach or your underwear is not appropriate for a place of business, even in a business casual setting. Clothing that gives the appearance of undergarment or underwear is not appropriate for a work environment.

Even in a business casual work environment, clothing should be pressed and never wrinkled. Torn, dirty, or frayed clothing is unacceptable. Any clothing that has words, terms, or pictures that may be offensive to other employees is unacceptable. Sports team, university, and fashion brand names on clothing are generally acceptable.

Certain days can be declared dress down days, generally Fridays. On these days, jeans and other more casual clothing, although never clothing potentially offensive to others, are allowed. Even on these dress down days we require clothing that is appropriate for a work setting.

If your dress attire is deemed inappropriate for work, you will be asked to return home to change into attire that is appropriate for work.

yippi yippi inky stinky blinky

I haven't written in a while. Not much to say really. I didn't get the job I interviewed for last week. No surprise there. I went fishing last friday at eagle creek. Spent most of the day walking and casting. Not even a nibble. No one else was catching anything either. I worked saturday and sunday. Sunday was stupid. The credit card server went down for no reason. And it couldn't be restored until monday. So, the whole day I was getting stupid calls about it being down. Not a thing I can do about it so at least don't bother me with it. I know it's down. I also know there isn't anything I can do. Stupid people. And to make it worse, the outage was planned. Of course no one told anyone about it. It happened at the same time last year and the same thing happened. I don't know why our company stays with this server warehouse. It will be interesting, the company we share the building with does some high end homeland security stuff for the government. Lets see how they react when the servers go down for no reason. The server company supposedly has 4 backup servers, diesel engines for their power and many battery backups. They would be better using the energizer bunny for power. He can power a whole city and a space ship. I guess the diesel engines would work but they probably don't have any diesel in them.
Tuesday at work I caught 3 fish on my break. that was after restringing my line cause I backed it up so bad. But I finally got it restrung and got about 10 min in. I first caught a green sunfish. I put it back in the water, then caught a catfish on the next cast. It got away. Which is fine with me cause I didn't have a glove or my net. Then the next cast I caught a tiny little bluegill.


Not much else to say really. It's been a crappy week. I'm on the phone arguing with some jerk who won't listen on how to copy and paste. He's another one of these losers who wants to make his client computer his master computer.

Today has been pretty boring too

I'm at work and the guy across from me is telling me how he got his air conditioned fixed and if it wasn't for George bush, his air conditioner would work fine. Oh please shut up already. I went out and walked around the pond. Saw a ton of little tiny fish and some bigger ones, but that was about it. For lunch I had a sandwich and some crackers. The CEO's wife was in there saying how she feels bad that all I eat are pop tarts. Ummm okay. Why should she care? They got the training people Quiznos today so there was a leftover container of peppers in there. So I ate a few of those. She couldn't believe I would do that either. I am such a crazy maniac to eat peppers straight from a container. I think I might go kick a bunch of puppies and cut up a preschool with a chain saw.

break #2 at the retention pond

I walked out to the pond as I always do. Lots of little fish swimming around and a few bigger ones. I looked at the series of holes on the bottom where fish usually hang out. Having fish parties I guess. There weren't any there this time. So, I went around some more and went over to the little stream. there is a stretch there that is about 6" wide and maybe 3' long. At the ends it is very shallow. there was a huge fish in there. Barley enough room to swim forward and back. Definatly can't turn around. If I could have blocked off the ends I could have reached in and grabbed him. Of course, that would be stupid cause I know his fins on his back are sharp. I only had to kick a bluegill once barefoot to know not to grab or kick a fish again. Anyway, that was all for today. No turtles, otters, catfish or anything like that.

boring boring, why are tanning people so boring

So, I guess deleting your program from the computer is something that everyone does right? You would think so by the way some of these people act. This woman deleted her entire program from the computer. Then, calls and complains to me that she did it and she never backs up. While I'm explaining to her that she's screwed she says she's "ignorant with computers" I think she is close on that one. But she needs to change the "with computers" to "with everything" I mean, how can you not know? You go into a place called add/remove programs. You click on a button that says "remove program" then it asks you if you are sure. She had to go through all that. I know Windows isn't idiot proof by any means, but I think the new version idiot is much more advanced than anything Windows developers ever imagined.

Welcome to my new and exciting Blog... OF DOOM!!!

That's right. I have a blog now. It's not just a bad blog. Not a blog of infinite peril. Nope, it's the blog of doom. Bwhahahahah. Hmmm sounds a little like Bowser. Anyway, welcome to my blog. I'm into a lot of things. Nothing scary or weird really. Well, I am scary and weird so maybe they could be. I love auto racing (no fenders please), fishing, grilling, and cheese. That's right. I love cheese. Pepper cheese, colby cheese, monterey jack cheese, baby swiss cheese, cheese sauce, cheese kabobs, cheese on pizza. I know just about everything there is the know about the cheese business. Okay, got a little sidetracked there. Anyway, cheese is awesome. I also think giraffes are the coolest animal on the planet. They have nice friendly faces, long blue tongues, and they are very tall. I wish I could have one as a pet.

I have 3 cats at home. Danica Catrick, Tabby Cattenhausen and Diana the cat. I also have a funny looking yellow car. It has seen better days for sure. It has gone from a show winner to being happy it starts in just a matter of 2 years.

For grilling, I have 2 barrel grills I use primarily. One is an offset smoker and the other is just a regular charcoal barrel grill. No propane used here. I use a weber chimney starter to get them going. I had been using starter packs to get the fire going. Starter fluid is just a bad idea in my opinion. But, a few weeks ago I started spraying paper towels with vegetable oil and putting that in the bottom of the chimney. It works great. And, there is no mess left over after the paper burns off.

I have a job. For now. I do tech support for tanning salon software. I relaly dislike it. And the whole industry for that matter. I have seen many people tan that now need to have some cigars in their hand and stand in front of a cigar store. It might look good now to be all dark and brown, but in a few years when the person could be mistaken for a leather saddle bag, it just isn't attractive anymore. And the lotions they sell, overpriced, glorified goo. Just go to the lake and gather up some algea. It's pretty much the same feeling stuff and it's probably better for you too. At least with the algea if you feel a tingling sensation, you know something is happening.

I'm married to an awesome girl. She is a children's librarian and is the best girl ever. Yeah yeah my opinion might be a little biased, but it's my opinion so it's right. I understand that other people can have opinions too, but they have to understand that their opinion is wrong. Back to the wife. She is awesome. She has a cool purple honda fit. It has a lot more room than it should. She is very fun and pretty and is incredible on Wario smooth moves on the Wii. We got married Feb 2nd. That's right, groundhog day. No Bill Murry wasn't invited. And we didn't have a groundhog at the wedding. It was at the reception. It was a fun wedding and we had a great honeymoon too. I'm going to go ahead and post this cause it's almost time to go out and look in the lake. It's actually an overflow retention pond, but there is some cool stuff in there. It amazes me how I can tell people here what I see in there and they don't believe me that anything would ever live in there. Well, stuff does live in there and it's very cool stuff. I'll be back to the blog... OF DOOM!!! in a bit.
