I know its been a while since I added any thing to my site. I would have, but I have been playing Starcraft the last couple of weeks. I had a run of bad luck. On April 1st my car broke down. This was the day that Starcraft came out. Needles to say I spent half a day in Rockford because of it. Great game. My Dad thinks it is a “stupid fucking game”. He’s entitled to his opinion.

There is a small rumor that a few employee’s are trying to start a Union. Good luck I say.

I still haven’t developed my pictures from vacation. And I still I haven’t got my pictures from the Employee Christmas party. But here is three that are from the first night in Florida at King Henrys Feast. Me and Troy look like we just got are mugshots taken. His wife Bob looks nice as ever. She’s too nice for the Harpy Page. Anyway I plan to have more pictures up when I can pay to develop more film.

I just had an interesting conversation with a lady from a union group. It appears a number of my fellow employees are serious about this whole union thing. They (the union lady) want some information I have. Now I don’t mind the idea of the union. But, I don’t feel like becoming a martyr to the cause. A few things that bothered me. One, that this lady didn’t have any id from the said union. Second, I feel this is going to go no where.

Another point to make is that I plan on jumping ship. My buddy Troy is now an Assistant Manager at Menard$. I am going to go to work for Menard$ if I’m lucky. I even made out a resume. So if this union thing crashes and burns like I suspect I still might do ok.

Just a few things today. One my Uncle Rich came down to visit. Its to bad my cousins couldn’t come down. Its been a while since I saw them.

Real quick update. I had my interview at Menard$. Starting pay there is eight bucks! Compared to my 6.90 at the hotel. Well if they call me, all I can say is the hotel can kiss my ass. That and the FDM better learn the audit real quick.

I added a section called My Life. It has stuff about me. The first installment has some pictures from Troy’s wedding. Enjoy.

Troy e-mailed me with this to say:

the store manager talked to me today about you coming in to apply I told him you were a good worker and you are always on time.BOY WAS THAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!! but seriously I think you in like Flynn I’ll talk to him tomorrow again it will look good if you call him back on Monday to (check up on your application)from you pal bigfoot!!!!!!!!!best of luck!!!!!!!!!!

So with any luck I’m out of that shit hole. I might have to rename this page one of these days.

By the way if there is any South Park fans out there I added some links to the Just Links page.

After damn near a month I have heard from former MOD John. I was afraid he, for some reason might feel everyone was against him. But I got an e-mail him from today. Even the old HI shitting on him hasn’t taken away his sense of humor:

God know’s I could use another Frig. magnet, left a message at your site…. (! )

Love,
HarpyBoy

So here’s a offer to repay you for all the beer you’ve bought in the past. Give me a call damn it or I’ll sick the legion of harpies on you.

I had a interesting talk with a few of the guys from the Engineering dept. Mark E. was telling about one of his co-workers who he was being very mean to. Now up till now I really hadn’t come up with an opinion of Mark E. I was kinda thinking he might be a little bit of a prick. I want to tell everyone who may ever cross this website I stand corrected. Mark E. is not a prick, he is a down right vicious mean spirited cruel bastard. And I admire all of those qualities.

Mark E. was telling me how he got a co-worker who I won’t name. But is named after one of the Three Stooges. And its not Moe, Curly, Shemp, or Joe. First he told me that he had talked this guy into vacuuming the whirlpool. Now I guessed that vacuuming the whirlpool was something you don’t do. This was never said by Mark E. but I figured the way he was busting a gut about it that has to wrong to do this. And the guy in question is no brain scientist, so I could appreciate the humor.

The best part of this whole long winded story is what Mark E. had this dip shit do awhile ago. I guess this one day they had drained the pool to clean it. And they were in the process of re-filling the pool. The dip shit was hanging around and probably bothering them. So Mark E. tells him that if he stands in front of the 8.6 marker in the pool that the water will fill up faster. The moron goes over to where he’s all most on top of the 8 foot 6 inches markings on the wall of the pool and positions himself over it. He watches the water go in the pool for awhile and comes back over to where Mark E. is. “Wow. Your right it does go in faster when you stand there.” He tells them.

And I know that you guys are now Engineering. But Engineering Tales just doesn’t have the same ring to it as Maintenance Tales. So tough shit. Next time I do a Maintenance Tales I would like one of you engineers to write it. We will see.
