2010 Niagara falls Part 2Category: photos
Even a short trip to the falls can be fun. I didn't know that after you get off the boat there are steps you can climb.......
UM Slight problem why do I have a bunch of photos but in the top media part where they show up they don't have pictures and aren't listed in my blog? ARGH, I bet they won't show UP, ARGH so no sense in doing the hardrock photos?

Re what (e:metalpeter) said:
"why do I have a bunch of photos but in the top media part where they show up they don't have pictures and aren't listed in my blog?"
If I am understanding this correct, this is exactly what happened when I tried to upload my puny two pictures.
-- I dragged the pics into the drag area
-- The pics start uploading - showing me % uploaded counting up.
-- One pic reached 100%, the pic thumbnail appeared in the "media drop area"
-- The other pic was stuck at 30 or so % - but after several minutes when the media drop area reported that this second pic was at 100%, the pic name appeared in the media drop are BUT there was no thumbnail associated with the pic AND the pic link was not inserted automatically in my blog (as it usually is).
Is this what happened, (e:metalpeter)?

I was using IE at the time and yes those 5 photos showed up but I like a bunch more then that. I decided to download chrome right and had problems, I kid you not (today is a computer slow day that might be a factor). NOrton firewall isn't even on but I get some message about how the firewall didn't allow for the installation, So I'll see what happens on tuesday and post more photos then

Maid of the mist Trip 2010Category: photos
So On friday I went to Niagara Falls to go on the Maid of the mist and then the Hard Rock Cafe. It was a good time. Here are some pictures to start off with........
Well time to get on the boat
Right Now it is kinda tough to know how much to upload, they kinda look the same small but wonder if they will look like that in this post?
This is pretty close to where I got off the boat. Once you get off the boat there is other stuff to see to your right. It isn't the cave of the winds or what ever those other steps are that they take out and put back in each year but there are steps you can climb and it was pretty fun, I think that will be my next post...........

I knew from that odd color that they some how changed the front of the building but I wasn't sure how. In Falls Part 2 Hopefully I will post the interior of the Hardrock.

They took that car-smashing-out-the-wall from the Hard-Rock café front. Looks rather boring now.
This reminds me of the trip I took with (e:heidi) and A to the falls for the first time. I was beyond awed. I saw finally why everyone the other side of the Atlantic thinks of the falls when the US is mentioned anytime. The first thing my mum asked me when I moved to Buffalo was if I could see the fall from my window. I thought it was so hilarious that I found out a year later that I can actually see toronto and buildings around the falls from the terrace-roof of my building.

Work Really Sucks latelyCategory: work
1. I hate blogging about work and never do it really
2. It isn't really fair since others don't get to give there side
3. You can't give away secerts but I never do
4. Who knows who is searching for you on line and what they might find about you and your work
I have to blog about this to get it out there and off of me a little bit. I last talked to someone about work when we where catching up but I don't want to put up any pictures from that event as this would taint that. I have been debating this for a few days as work as been driving me crazy, I was going to post this but didn't really have the time on Thurs.
Why Blogging about it should be fine
1. No one knows from my blog where I work
2. No one knows the company
3. No one knows any of the people
4. I don't mention the compnay
5. I don't mention any names
6. It is stated that it is my view and only my view
7. I don't mention any one of my boses by name
8. I don't use any other ways so that anyone would know who I was talking about
9. This isn't about making anyone look bad, you need names or pictures or something along those lines.
Any where you work at some point there will be some personal conflicts, that is a fact. It used to be when I was a kid, if two people had a problem with each other they went out to the Flag Pole or some other specific area and fought each other. Well that isn't allowed anymore and it is to bad. I'm not saying fighting all ways worked. Cause the next phase is some punks can't handle losing and go get a weapon, but the old way is how when both people are willing one way to sort out the issue.
This last week of work has been so streesfull: Here is the history again from my view of what happened.
Person A: Is Lazy, Is and Ass Hole (and not the good kind) and causes all kinds of problems (AKA a Harraser and trouble maker). I will admit that I don't know all the trouble this person has started 1st hand. I also don't know if this person started anything recently. What I can tell you this there is like only one person who doesn't hate this person, well that might be a strecth I should say at times. Again Person A often has said they don't get why no one likes them and why no one wants to work with them when they do nothing wrong. See if you think you do nothing wrong that is the first problem, if you can't look at your self that is a problem. This Person has on purpose avoided work , Not sure if they are lazy or causing trouble or cause they are selfish. Granted sometimes people havent helped person A when they could but would you if when you came over they started trouble and then just fucked off more?
Person B: Has had problems with person A. From my memory it was started a long time ago by person A but not really sure. In any event Person B went to the boss like they should and it stoped. That doesn't mean they liked each other. At some point something Happened or susposidly Happened to Person A. I assume that A blamed Person B and then went to the boss. Off course no one really knows if or what really happened. Remember this is a trouble maker who no one likes. So the boss (if my understanding is correct) lets everyone know that is not exceptable.
So Last week Person A thinks what has been stoped happens again. Doesn't talk to the boss, and decides to be a little rat and goes to Human Resources. This person nor the boss is around for a couple days that is odd, so it is obvisous something is up.
Person B was Fired my boss was fired, for doing nothing wrong. It doesn't make any sense. So now on top of being 3 people down (boss does some work with us when they can) so work was a bit crazy. I almost quit and maybe should have. The thing is though that I work for the company and am there to do work. Who is there or who isn't there isn't my concern. If we don't do our work the company could fall apart so we have to do what we are supposed to do and not worry about the political stuff. If we had a bad boss no big deal but he was a great boss who treated everyone fairly. There is no reason to lose a job cause one person couldn't get along with one bad worker, who causes trouble.
Back in my wilson farm days we had this Manager who didn't make it up the ranks. In other words he went to school and book learned. He was a really nice guy. He would say well the book says to do it this way. Some one else would explain that this store is a different and here is why. So for him learning the difference between what the book says and what really works was interesting to see. The point I'm getting to is that I think at most places you work, there are things you do that aren't what the book says. They don't hurt anyone. They are what is best for Business. But if someone who only knows things by that book would look down on them. My guess is that there was maybe something like that going on here and that is why my boss is no more. The reason I say this that Person A nothing has been said about what happened to them.
I have no idea why anyone really lost their job. But what I do know is that them losing them is Bullshit. What you can't be a Man (this is not gender specific just the term like in mankind) and face people and try to work things out, because of that two people lost their jobs. I could understand if there was a clear cut case of two people not getting along then get rid of them both, but not the boss. This has left everyone's head spinning and a bit confussed.
But that is in the past or is it? I'm still stressed out and am going to try and enjoy (even though kinda broke) The Elmwood Festival of the arts. But it is tough when I don't know how much longer I'm going to have a job. Why do I say that [if anyone is reading this, hopefully not my new boss, but you see I didn't mention any names or anything and I never would because unlike person A the company and my work comes first not my selfish lazy ass, Fuck you you fucking piece of shit I hope you die (not realy die you know the saying)] well I just have this feeling. My feeling is that person A will somehow come back to work at some time. I hope I'm wrong. Knowing how this person is I could see them saying something smug and there could be an expolsion.
AGain I'm loyal to the company and am there to work. As long as you don't bother me or try to fuck anyone over I wont say a thing to you, and things might and I hope will be fine, but I just have a bad feeling. All this could have been avoided if someone would have just punched someone in the face a long time ago.
On a positive note hopefully this will be a great weekend and that will lead into a next good week, and all this crap will be behind me. Then Next weekend is Chicken wing Festival then the 11th is MIA. Tonight I may go to Gueralla Gallery and see Sean Madden's art I have a shirt of his on now.....

DAY #1
Person A is back and even though I'm not really Happy About it, time to put it in the past and hoping it stays there. That doesn't mean that I will talk to "A" I had to for work reasons but other then that no. That being said My Heart isn't really into work, I still work hard but it just isn't the same , I don't have that extra umph or gear. Hoping some day with time that will come back. I still don't like "A" but are trying to give "A" a second chance and see if there can be a change...........

Part of the frustration is from anticapation cause I have no idea what is going to happen in the end. The thing is that one could make a claim and a valid one that things where not fair there and that must be what the upper managment thought I have no idea. I think they did this to just avoid a law suit my self but that is just me. But if you throw out that idea and if they did legitamatly think there where problems then I still don't think what happened should have happened. The two people who had the problem should have worked it out and been forced to and then if they can't well then they are both gone. If someone came to me and said I'm be harrased (again this is what I assume). My 1st question would be what did you do to them to cause this, and/or what is there problem with you. Most likely from there the person would say nothing or something along those lines. At that point I would say well you are lying cause no one would do nothing to you unless there was a problem, get out of my office and come back when you are ready to tell the truth. I also don't really know if I would then believe any thing either person said since they have an ax to grind.
In any event I hope all of this is in the past now. All I want to do is show up and work. I have the sinking feeling that some how this isn't going away though, I hope I'm wrong. Yes you do have to joke around a bit but not so much you aren't working, and hopefully that is how this week shall be, who knows...... The Company pays me to do a Job and I do it well (I think at least) and then they pay me money. It is to bad some people only think of them selves and not the place they work for..... Hopefully though this is again in the past and stays there, we shall see what happens............

BUt hey, that was a clever form of venting.
I hope things better at your workplace. It's hard when you have to deal with such unfairness that's staring right at you. :/

Thats the one thing I hate about my blog being so obviously me and very public. I find I cant't say half the stuff I want to or used to back in the day without offending everyone.

Quite the thanks, I see.
