Mutti Chronicles

Mutti has major issues with her employer this week. Yes, you all know who it is! As a matter of fact, some of you know people who work there. Like this week is any different than any other week though! They expect Mutti to have no days off until after January 1st. Like Mutti is supposed to put the needs of her employer above the needs of herself, her family and her pups! But I’m sure they consider me a second class employee because I am not willing to work 10 hours a day, 7 days a week! Then they have already “blocked off” all the days for 2004 that they won’t allow people to take off. Included are many days Mutti would have signed up for. Like 4th of July and a couple of weeks in August. Do they expect Mutti not to take off when her son is getting married? My other big issue is break times. Apparently Mutti takes too much break time. But it’s ok for supervisors to go have a break every 2 hours. How do I know this? Several of them are at break outside when I get to work. 2 hours later when I have break time., they are off to break time also. Then when it’s time for Mutti to go home, there they are again. And I know most of the payment processing department is at break all the time. Passing by me every 20 minutes to get popcorn or junk food while I’m trudging away talking to assanine callers and I get in trouble for going to the bathroom. And I saw one of the mailroom people checking out the internet on her PC and looking at the Top 10 movies of the week. Which is supposed to be a no-no! But for all my hard work, I got a coupon for buy one get one free at Cousins Subs. Whoopdie doo!

While searching through some German history web pages trying to come up with an interesting AKC name for the new pup, I found the history of my own name. Read on…This could possibly explain my complete hysteria during thunderstorms.

I got the most amusing e-mail at work today. It notified me that my employer is offering free prostate exams at corporate headquarters. Does anyone think I need a prostate exam? And like who would want to do that sort of thing at work anyway? Just more goofiness! Included in the same e-mail was an offer of free blood pressure screening. I guess so we can find out just how crazy the customers make us! This stuff is right up there with the free mamograms from last year. I’m pretty sure that one didn’t go over very well.
