Hoping I don't over do this weekend
Category: summer
So I'm looking forward to (e:brit) and (e:Libertad)'s party at (e:PMT)'s, I think I'm also going to Nietches on Saturday Night. Hoping to see the dyke march on Sat and then the Parade on sunday. At the parade I won't drink. I just hope I don't over do it. Hey when it is nice out it is easy to drink to much. You drink faster then you should and you go from feeling fine to oh no what did I do, it can happen quickly. This can happen since I've been majorly streesed out:

I like my Job. Now it is a physical Job and if you have a physical job you work hard you have to. But there is this thing where when you are working hard you notice when some other person is fucking off. I can say that I honestly know that I'm the only person there who doesn't fuck off. There is this one clown who thinks he does a lot of work "Mr. dependable " I call him. But he is all ways fucking off. He weaseled his way into my area, and weasled his way into the part of the Job he thinks is the easiest and is trying to get to do the part where he thinks he doesn't half to lift any boxes. This Kid (he ain't no man) just wants to be lazy well he is lazy. Any time he does any work all you do is hear about it. He is such a phoney, not to mention he is nosey and tries to be all up in everyone's buisnees. I felt like punching this clown (not the funny kind) right in his piece of shit face today. He is no good and a cancer (well why insult cancer). It is one of those you would have to be there to get it type of things but the guy is no good.


What I can say is this I don't know how the other person I work with can stand him all day (he is out I'm doing what he does). I try not to yell at this ass munch but that is what I should do. The Problem is then when ihe is a bitch he wines and fucks up orders and is even more worthless..........ARGh

This weekend should be great and I hope the weather is. I hope I can do just enough so that I feel really good and am talkative but don't say anything to stupid. Hope to see you (e:peeps) out and about hope everyone has a great weekend, I wish it was friday!!!!

Now Today He was pretty good.

There is just one thing I do need to clarify. If someone lacks certain ablities or is slow or something like that, I can live with that. Everyone has things they are great at and bad at. What I can't live with is the lack of effort.

I will use my self as an example. I worked in production for some time. That was so stressfull. (I wasn't hired for that, nor did I have any choice, I was made to work there). Picture a machine with opening and you put these little tubes in the opening or things come down a belt and you grab them and put them in something else. One little fumble or slip up and the machine has to stop or you back up person has to pick up speed. Some of it my hands aren't made for those little movements. I all ways felt bad for the people who's line I got put on cause I wasn't good enough at it, and it made their job harder. There where people who could talk and laugh and to them it was easy as a breeze even on a fast speed. From what I heard and over heard most people didn't mind because I was trying but there where a couple people who they couldn't stand because they didn't try. I'm kinda the same way. If you try and do your best and I wind up doing most of the work that is fine, I have no problem with that. If there are things you can't remember ask me and I'll tell you I have no problem with that. But if those problems are because you don't care well then we have a problem.

(e:libertad) you make some great points.

Today was a much better day and a lot less stress, and tonight will be a good time, just have to figure out if a T-Shirt will be warm enough........

1. We all judge.

2. Again, he sounds like a "douche"..

3. He doesn't need to know your business.

4. True.

5. I do the same you do. When someone else isn't giving their best it pisses me off. If you are being fairly compensated for your work you should be fair in return.

6. You could tell him he is being lazy even if you aren't a boss. You could probably get away with saying more to him than management could.

7. Yes, we have to continue to work with these people. If there are serious concerns with their abilities it should be addressed discretely with management, but I do understand that it is very difficult to do that. That fact is if they are causing such ill effect that they are putting your own job in jeopardy you are entirely within your rights to blow their ass in.

8. Something might have happened to him that you are not aware of between now and then.

After a good nights sleep tomorrow could always be better?
metalpeter - 06/03/10 20:16
I do need to add a couple things

1. I don't like to Judge people but I wind up doing it a lot, and I don't like that I do

2. I'm not the only person that can't stand him:
- Personaly I have nothing to say bad about him, I'm sure out side of work is a great guy, but work wise he drives me insane

3. I blocked him and his wife on facebook, but am friends with other people I work with, I'm sure that pisses him off (he noses into everyone's business online that is fine but at work it isn't)

4. Some people will just never get along. He is all right sometimes, but he is more anoying then anything.

5. I'm not saying I'm easy to work with, I hold people to a high Standard.

6. I'm not a boss so I can't really tell him what to do.

7. I have to work with him everyday (any everyone else) So I would like to get along with him, but his attitude is so wrong.

8. Again this is my perception of his attitude (I could be wrong), I used to work with him in a different part of the company and he wasn't like this.

Thanks everyone for their input, and feel free to make more comments. Hopefully Friday will be better we shall see, maybe there will be an update before I get ready for the 24.
libertad - 06/03/10 20:06
Whoa metalpeter! Your pretty angry about this guy. I don't blame you he sounds like an ass. At least feel good in knowing you're not like him.
metalpeter - 06/03/10 19:58
Here is the thing with being out on Comp. It seems like it would be a lot of fun. You are Paid for not working. But here is the thing, in theory if you are hurt (say shoulder or neck) can you really enjoy your time. You can't drive down to mertyle beach or something. Also wouldn't you have like bills to pay and doctors and stuff. If you are out on comp you had best sleep during the day, cause watching day time TV will drive one insane. There is a part of me that would like it for a bit but not for long.

The Person who is off of work is out because he needs time to be at home with the wife. She is "sick" I know it isn't a medical term, but she is "Sick" what that means is she has stuff wrong with her, and so (I don't know details) that sets her up for other problems. Her having problems or going to see doctors is the only time the guy ever gets to take off.

In terms of fucking off. Yeah it is ok to do it a little bit and to Joke around and talk, but Working needs to be #1 priority when you are there. You also need to know that sometimes when there is a lot of work, you need to shut up and do the work, hey if you finish early you can fuck off then. I'm sorry this dude drives me crazy, and I did feel like hitting the kid. I should have just yelled at him and called him out on his bullshit......
jenks - 06/03/10 18:58
peter, I wish more people had your work ethic. This year has been really eye opening- there are so many people who just want to be out on comp. Then there are the others, but they are much fewer, who ARE out on comp, but HATE it, and all they want to do is get back to work. My hat is off to those guys.

Shopping Update + Summer UPDATE
Category: summer


UPDATE: Just wanted to add a few Pictures!!!!!!!!!


On Saturday after I went to see The Prince Of Persia, I went to tops to get food. When I was there I saw that they now sell Mexican Coke in Bottles. I think they where 4 for 5$ but they where indivual bottles not in a case. When I went to the cold section I saw them there also, man it was tempting to buy a few bottles. But there was also a lot of alcohol I wanted to try. Sminorf now makes a lemonade, like mikes that really looked good.
My Mother went shopping on Sunday so I went with her to Tops Niagara and bought more food that was on sale. Hey I get stuff that I like when it is on sale. It is so weird to go shopping two days in a row. Oh yeah (e:Enknot) it was nice to talk to you for a couple minutes. Tops on Niagara had the Coke in Bottles there also but I had so much I didn't pick any up. One of things I did get on saturday was a recomended by (e:Jason) I think. Johnie Ryan cola was very good and so was the orange thanks........

Both earlier in the month and Saturday at tops and then some sunday really got me thinking about how it is really summer now. Well or maybe it is the temp that makes me think that way. The one thing that I don't like about my place it there is no place to really BBQ, even if it is just throwing something like a burger on for a few. That is because I don't have a porch or any thing. For those of you who do have them be thankful and use them. I mean the porch and or a place to grill if you can do both on the porch even better. There is nothing quite like drinking a lemonade (assuming it is as tastry as the companies make it look) or and ice cold coke (I love pepsi but it just isn't the same image) relaxing on a porch with a tasty burger or some other piece of meat. Yum Summer. This reminds me of an old MTV ad. It went along the lines of Pop It open Pop it open MTV, and they had these summer images, it was great. So on one of the following ads MTV had been on a can and some one pops it open and drinks it and spits it out and the line was "Hey we never said you could drink it", it was to funny back then. But there is something About the Summer and cooking on a grill, or even just going someplace for a burger and looking over the water.

For those that think Summer hasn't started yet The Allentown Art Festival starts in about 2 weeks. There are many people who bash it and they make some good points. But there are also local artists who have some cool stuff there, or atlesat local enough that they are also at the Elmwood Festival of the Arts. I assume that The Allentown West Festival is going on as well, and then this weekend is Pride weekend, other then the Parade not sure what that is so That Area of Allen is going to get pretty busy for 2 weekends in a row I'm sure. Oh yeah wait Sat. I'm supposed to be going to see the stripteasers at Nietheches.

Allentown Art Festival:


Back to Allentown. There is something going on with it that is really going to be pretty cool. If I understand this right on June 12th and 13th at Good Carmel Recording Studios on Franklin (Where music is art used to be) they are having as Mark Freland Display. I admit I'm not really a fan of his art but It will be nice to see. What I want to see is on Sunday 3pm. There will be a MIA press conferance. This I can't miss, I want to get there early. I don't know if it will be inside or outside if there will be 30 or 3,000 people But I want to be there. One other reason is that they had this photo contest last year for MIA and I would like to see the winning pictures and find out who won. I admit If I won something it would be amazing but I'm guessing if I did , I would have been told all ready but hey who knows it should be a great time.
MUSIC IS ART:

MIA on Facebook:
Oh this reminds me of something. At Many events we all wind up people watching. I'm no different. Sometimes my mind is on gettiing pictures of the event. This is why often my camera will be inhand and I run into people and don't think to snap there photo quick if you see the camera just ask and I'll shoot one and we can go back to what ever we where talking about.

Working this week will suck, the hot I can deal with but doing the 5 days work in 4 days will be tough. But this weekend will be fun the party at (e:PMT)'s with the Peterazzi in full effect sunday I'm sure I'll check out the Parade and then Friday stripteasers Hello Summer.

Parade Routes:


Main Page:


Well I Think I have said all about that I can say. Hoping everyone is having a great Holiday weekend, and if it wasn't all ready summer is now here, I just hope we all know how to have that peak amount of fun with out overduing it.

Prince of Persia + A-Team
Category: movies
(e:Enknot) wrote a great review of Prince of Persia, he did a much better Job then I could do. I thought the movie was very good. It is nice to see a tiny bit of a love story, with one liners, and a good story and kings and battles and action. I thought it was pretty good.

I have to say one thing about the movies that I saw a preview for, and have seen this same preview numbers of time. The A-Team. I have some mixed feelings about this movie.
1. Yes it is great that they Finaly made an A-Team Movie
2. Here is an idea it should have been Made years ago like maybe a couple years after the show went off the air.
3. This Action movie will be Pretty Good
4. Liam Nesson will be Pretty good

But Here is my problem. What made the A-team so good wasn't the action (ok I was little maybe it was the action) it was the same thing that makes House so good. The Characters. Hanibal I can being redone and he will be close. But BA, Face, and Murdock I'm sorry you can't really re do them.

The counter point to that is, even if you had all the same actors it would still be a bit different anyways. Movies and TV are different Media and so they tell the story differently. This is often true of when a movie spawns a TV show think Terminator and Clone wars.

In any Even I enjoyed Prince of Persia and look forward to The A-Team. Even though I have never seen the Cartoon Avatar:The Last Airbender it looks like it will be a great movie also, lets hope so.

Colas
So I can admit that I Don't know if I have blogged about Cola before. I don't know if I can say what I'm trying to get across really. I am not going to get into the Soda Pop debate and talk about Ice Cream Sodas and all of that. Doing that is kinda Point less really.

When I was growing up I had never heard of Fago or what ever that cheap Pop that ICP likes go through a truck load full of at a show. When I was growing up there where 3 Colas. They Each had there own taste and there own thing.

Royal Crown was the 3rd Cola but it was on Par (still good) with the other two. I remember it only came in 2 liter bottles. I have no idea how to say it tasted different then Coke and Pepsi but there where those that thought it was the best tasting. I liked it. But now a days it is thought of as the cheap pop and has been pushed to the side.

I admit that I miss those glass Bottles. If any of my relatives are reading this do you remember what that brand was in Glass bottles, I may have had at your home. At the aunts house at christmas there where was this glass bottle soda that I don't know the name of that was pretty good. The point is that Cola or any thing you drink has a different taste out of plastic, Glass or cans. Yes glass breaks and is a mess, but I think that it made the Cola colder, but not sure about that. I loved the Pepsi and Coke out of those tall Glass Bottles. Yes I bought the Mexican (with american stickers of some kind on it) from wegmans. Those bottles I think are smaller then the size the bottles used to be.

I like Coca-Cola. I remember when they Changed their Recipe and it pissed a lot of people off (not when they took the cocaine out I wasn't alive then). People got so upset that they "if you believe them went back to the old Formula. They then called that Coca-Cola Classic and Just kept the new stuff coke so you could tell what you where buying. I admit not sure what wound up happening to that and what you drink it when you drink it now. I like coke because it reminds you of the old times and it has that international tie in. If you have ever seen those ads with the large glass bottles you know what I mean. But there are events like the olympics that they have sponsored since before Pepsi was around. It is a more old time feel and is more classic. That being said it also seems more fizzy also. I can drink Pepsi every day with no problems. But coke does some bad stuff to me if I drink it to many days in A row.

Pepsi is my Cola of Choice. I like the name and the taste better not sure why but it is what I prefer. That being said to me that is the Young, cool, and Hip cola to drink. Pepsi sounds Asian to me, plus their symbol is a take off of a Ying Yang. Their new symbol I don't like as much as the previous one.
I have tried many types of coke and Pepsi. Pepsi Vanilla
tastes like Cola with Vanilla, where as Vanilla coke tastes like Vanilla mostly, Coke wins that one.

For years Cherry Coke was very tasty. The Pepsi fans wanted Cherry Pepsi and I will admit it is Pretty Good but Coke wins out again I'm sorry to say, The Cherry Pepsi (wild cherry now) Just isn't the same. I tried this new Cherry Vanilla Pepsi a few days ago and it was very good.

I can't keep up with all the kinds of Coke and Pepsi there have been to many like Pepsi Blue (that was good) and the clear Pepsi (that didn't always taste the same to me), and the Lemon Pepsi (now only in diet I think) then there was lime or diet coke with lime. I wish I could find the Lemon Pepsi in non diet.

For those of us who are young we think all these flavors are new and great and what a way to make cola taste great, that is true but not really. I found out that back in the old days that this was kinda a standard thing. You could go to a place not sure if they where malt shops, or soda shops or just a place to eat and you could get flavored cola. Now I don't know if the idea was from the people who made the cola or from the shops them selves. I remember being someplace with my family years ago and you could get cola with chocolate added that sounded really good but I wasn't brave enough to try it.

I don't have a point other then to say go out and try some cola someplace, and have a good time.

Hospice Walk Buffalo 2010
Category: photos
So Sunday was the Hospice walk I guess I will throw Up some pictues. My Niece Maya was in a stoller and didn't walk in it from what I understand.

Ok one thing I need to touch on: The Harness: When I first saw them and leashes was in Canada. My first thought was that it was cruel or just wrong. But then once I thought about it, I decided it only looks that way and is really a great idea. The modern form of this is a back pack version. Little kids move pretty fast sometimes and since they are short they are easy to lose, very easy. You try and see someone as high as a pair of knees and and thiner then a pair of normal legs among legs it can be tough. The Back Pack version is even better. I think it is a great idea and wish more parents would do it. That being said it isn't to be used as a leash, like that is far enough from mom come over here so I can emotionaly smother you or a hard tug like you would with a dog. Ok back to the walk.
