It's just not PC to take responsibility for what you do. We now live in a society, and who the hell knows when it started to be that way, where one can get in trouble for being responsible. I know I have.

Glance to the left and you will see a representation of PC in the form of numbers and a colored bar. That mechanical device does not control what I say ( the profanity filter does that for me) though it will ultimatly lead to my dismissal from the island.. I don't have a problem with it at all but I do have a problem with hypocricy, lies and slanderous misinformation and the mechnisms that defeat my rightful defence of my honor.

If I screw up, I admit it, do what I can to hopefully prevent it in the futre, and then move on.
|

Ohhh.. gotta be careful about that. When taking on the powers that be an admission can and will be used against you. It's bad enough to be at a disadvantage right off the bat and it is foolish to give up what little ground you have to stand on to those who would rather mercilessly chew you up and spit you ot like a piece of meat leaving you FAR worse off than you started.. 
| quote |
My boss hates that about me.
|
|
Thats why I like being my own boss, I make my own rules and I jealously guard my "private business practices" from prying eyes.
I will take stand on my 5th amendment right, it is my safe haven.

Maybe so. But if I'm going to fail or succeed in this world, at least It'll be my doing and my conscience will be clear. While there are obvious incidences where I couldn't do what I needed to because others didn't do their jobs, I try not to play the blame game. My objective is to get the work done. I'm just car-azy that way.  ------------------

I share that sentiment and in my many years of experience in the workplace I have found that very attitude to be the cause of many of my firings. People feel threatend by me and all I want to do is get my job done. One honest days work for an honest days pay. Thats ALL anyone could ever ask for.[This message has been edited by 84Bill (edited 05-24-2007).]

I'll stop my discussion here then. Because I'm getting near talking about my boss again and I don't want to get into that again. He's been sleeping on his couch since 9:00 this morning. If all goes well, I'll be turning in my resignation next week. Wish me luck on that one because I'm sure he'll throw everything he's got at me just to try and get his way. It's going to be a battle. One I'm not entirely confident I'll win. Wish it hadn't come to this after nearly fourteen years. But to try and save my career, I don't have a choice.  ------------------

I agree 100%. First things first I'm a parent and my son will be educated he will be taught to use rational thought, he will be taught to take responsibility for his own actions. veracity of source will be stock words in his vocabulary I hope he finishes collage (lots of ppl go not so many finish I know I didn't)
my view on war there is no such thing as a good war there is no good reason to start a war ever.
| quote | Not to start another argument on this thread, but where do you think the crackheads are going to get the money to pay the taxes for the drugs they already can't afford? I think that if you legalize drugs, it's really not going to change anything and may make it worse. Just by putting it on the shelves of your local grocery store, so to speak, doesn't mean that "Joe Crackhead" isn't going to stop stealing stuff to sell for crack money. It also doesn't mean the "John Cokeupmynose" isn't going to mug and or kill you either for money or because the coke whacked him out so bad he thought it was cool. Just my opinion. But I really don't think legallizing that kind of stuff will help at all. Not in that respect anyway.

If they brake the law to get the $$ they go to jail for theft not for possession. If a person cant afford an addiction I expect them not to feed it be responsible. All I sed legalizing drugs would do is free up government funds for more important things like say health care and create a new source of funds so other taxes can be lowered in the end its not more taxes its less and only the ppl who use are paying.

I commend your efforts but please be aware of what your children are doing and temper that with the fact that life is dangerous and they will become adults on day. They start exerting themselves at ever younger ages these days and if you squeeze too hard they will "pop off"
When I was home my kids were my friends and they could come to me for advice about ANYTHING.
I always start off with LISTENING and followed with "well son.. you are going to do what you want regardless of what I say but ALL I ASK is that you do so with respect for yourself and for others. Be aware of the dangers involved in what you are doing. With that said here is my experiences Baa blaaahh blahhh Now take it or leave it, the choice is yours but take note.. I'm alive and I survived so I must be doing something right.
Unfortunatly my kids were taken from me an not becasue I was a druggie or anything of that sort.. I never even drank or did drugs of any kind at all while at home. Now that I have been relieved of all but the financial burdons and responsibilities, I am free to do as I wish. If ever they were to be reintroduced to my life I will gladly give up my "bad habits" for the love of my children. It is a sacrefice I can live with and something I can do with ease.

I understand and thanks for the clarification. It is a great country we live in if it were not for all the injustice many innocent people suffer.

LOL!!
You should hear what I have to say about many of my bosses behind their backs.. and probably be shocked and in awe by what I have said to their faces when they have pushed me too far. I dont knuckel under to someone who claims to be in charge but bends the rules and reshapes the landscape to suit their immidiate needs. I dont take kindly to shifing ground and will go directly to the source of the problem without reservation. I earned respect of some bosses and complete and utter contempt from others for doing just that.

Unfortunately, my boss owns the company too and I report directly to him. So I can't exactly get him in trouble by telling his boss on him. His company, his rules, his rules really suck right now and change by the minute. So I'm leaving. Nervous as hell too. ------------------

Sig Test...
Oh wait, it isn't in the trash can yet.
btw Whade, good luck with the change of employment. It's been apparent for some time you've been stressing about this. What's there to be nervous about anyway ? Your boss can't really badmouth you much in a referrence while still admitting to employing you for 14 years... I tend to think that would send the caller's BS meter off the scale pretty quick.

Hopefully. But he's a pretty charismatic and influencial guy and very much the politician. I'm none of the above. He also has time and money. Again, I have neither. So I'll be starting with the deck stacked against me. Because I don't get but 20 minutes for lunch and no time off except the weekends, I'm going to have to quit where I work first then look for another job because an interview, unless after hours or on the weekend, would be impossible. It's not going to be easy at all. But maybe I'll be wrong and it'll all work out. But I'm guessing that, by the time my boss is finished doing his thing, he'll have it spread around town that I'm an alcoholic, drug-using pedophile with a gambling addiction who beats my wife.  I'm just trying to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
