All right..I'm a day behind! So sue me! It took me that long to recover from the plane ride. The plane ride? Oh yeah!

See a certain admin has been breaking her hump trying to keep up with all the renovations over at ED's house, now that he moved out and DeJuan moved in. So needless to say she had no idea about who to talk to about making travel arrangements. Also, note to all who read this, if DeJuan does anything like his expense reports we are in for a good time. He is a one cheap fucker! (my opinion) So this poor admin who well call "Shelly" works for 3 hours getting just ME travel arrangements for Monday. Since DeJuan decided not to expedite the Amex cards, we can't even book our own travel plan (hotel, air, car). So she finally gets it straight and rather then getting me book on Airtran, DeJuan's folks get me booked on US Air for 3 times the cost of my normal ticket! ON A PROP JOB!

Monday rolls around and I ride a plane (not a jet) for 1.5 hours with a 3rd of my ass hanging off the seat and my left leg in the aisle keeping the other 2/3 out of the middle. FUUUUUUCCCCKKKKK! After this, I have to wait 25 minutes for them to drag my luggage into the terminal! At lease the car was all set and I had a nice ride into the office here. I left the house at 5:30 and walked into the building at 10am. My butt still isn't talking to me. After I talked to Shelly and explained what had happened she again busted her hump to get my tickets moved back to Airtran. Props out to her all the way!

While on my flight, I started getting to thinking about this whole mushroom thing and an evil thought blossomed. A manifesto! Every good revolution needs a manifesto, and so I have drafted one. If you want a copy, e-mail me and I'll get you one. A certain manager who prefers to not be named in my Blogs, has also been doing a good job trying to obtain us info about DeJuan and the quiet treatment he has been giving us. Let me digress a moment on this one thing. See I know bullshit when I smell it, and when I saw that one of the reasons they DeJuan had not spoke to us was that "they did not have everyone's address" and they use L-notes. Hmm, I really don't need to say anything, because many of my fellow mushrooms spoke up. You know what I'm saying here? They never heard of a DL? We have a really special one made just for us? I'm here on a whole nother account and I can send e-mail to everyone who still works for Ed. Nuff said!

As per today (tuesday)? It was quiet today. I did 2 tickets! Wow! Good thing I'm here, because I know that those would have gotten someone in trouble. Mr Roy and I had a little chat today about going home. He mentioned that things had been slow where he's at but it pick's up in spurts. Then we got into the whole "how long are you staying" talk and he made mention that they like having us around because we'll be filling in while some people go on vacation. HUH?? Oh man, now I know I'm done come May 23. I am so freaking out of here! These "guys" are so clueless that they'll be screwed whether we're or not. They need to hire people. Plain and simple. What do we do when one of us goes on vacation? We all team up and pick up the slack! See, I don't think they need us, I think they need to hire people LIKE us working here ALL THE TIME (as in start firing your poor performers - worked for us). Mr Bill was right (not to honk our collective horn) but you guys don't realize how good we are! Save me from shitheads like this!

17 Days and counting! (Till I'm back at the big X and this fun is over) Don't worry, the blog will live on!
