The messiah complex

I have an online friend, that whenever there is drama happening she gets her messiah boots on and writes these huge epistles on what the other should do.

That doesn't sound bad. No, it's actually a nice thing, a nice service if you wish.

What makes it bad is that in the way of doing so, she ignores the input others have already posted in the same topic. Like exactly the same? I mean, why do that? Does she think that by writing about the same advice she gives different validity to the arguments? Or is it simply a strategy of maximum exposure. Ignore the others, write it up as yours and then the lazy readers are going to read your latest post and be so happy that you gave them that 'unique' piece of advice.

Yes, this is the kind of situations that annoy me. It's the principle.

On the other hand, maybe she's the one that never read the other posts, and she shows off her wisdom absolutely certain that noone can match her input.

Speaking of input. Some people come by forums only to get input. They never give.

I *love* Metal

Yes, it's true...I confess...LOL

I like many genres of music, but I am very selective (or else eclectic). I don't like all the music of a certain type, just because it belongs there.

For instance, Heavy Metal. I like Sepultura but don't like Megadeth. I like Manowar, but I don't like Slipknot. And then again, some songs more than others.

But today the post isn't about metal music. Nope...the post is about metal men...

And I am just so tingly all over just thinking about them.

I even made a siggy to show them off.

From left to right: Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in X-men Origins: Wolverine, Optimus Prime as himself in Transformers II: Revenge of the Fallen and Sam Worthington as Marcus Wright in Terminator: Salvation.

I watched T4 last night and if I was alive after such a war and I came across a T800 that had his sensitivities I would stop and have some nice quality time with it.

Some days suck while others shine

Nothing really out of the blue, or red, I just felt like taking care of business.

I am happier now that I paid all my credit dues, and my online accounts are all updated.

I even read some of my stale email, and updated requests and tickets at various online places.

All the while listening to music. I am learning new groups, to see what I like and what I don't. Mostly metal, today.

Now I am listening to Manowar... "Die for Metal".

I mean and intimidating

And that's because I don't bend over to take the crap my boss wants to shove down my throat, e.g. vacation days.

Last Thursday was the big fall out, and it still brews over her side of the lab. Like I care. I did get my vacation allowance transferred and that's all that matters. To me, because she's steaming.

She told one of my colleagues that she won't give him the opportunity to transfer because he just started and she will give him when he needs some. Like that is going to happen. Translation: 'Don't make your official days valid -> they expire and then beg me for them'. But because not all people have my courage (darn courage) he didn't argue with her. All of the sudden, laws and regulations don't have an effect here, because she said so. Har-har-har...

She criticizes from appearence (me) to scientific contribution (everyone) in a mean and hurtful way that starts as something nice but the second half is snide and conniving. I'd hate her if she wasn't such a moron. That thing she does ducking and checking out what we have in our monitors? She sucks big time.

I keep my monitor locked, either I have something on or not. Just for intimidation. *grin*

From Warshaw to Rome

Begin with Sepultura's "Roots, bloody roots",

continue with Never the Bride's "The Living Tree",

then jump to the original Shirley Bassey's "The Living Tree",

then down with Yello and Shirley Bassey's "Rhythm Divine"...

The cursed talk

Well, today I had the cursed talk. And it went as I expected.
 
The worst possible.
 
At the end, what I needed happened. She signed the transfer of days and she knows when I will be off.
 
She didn't want to give them, but at the end I tired her, I can be very persistent if I am in my rights. I won't let something happen to me that is not right, just because I don't want to have trouble. And I am not afraid of her.

It was a two step process, and at the last one I managed to get her to sign it. And then I run to HR to get it filed.

Her arguments for me not transferring the days were:

A. that I took many days off this year

B. that I had many sick days (how come?)

C. that I speak down to her and I am mean and I undermine her

D. that I am not productive

A to D I countered her irrationality with arguments and honest answers. There was some oozing sarcasm for sure, but she's full of sneakiness and snide remarks. At the undermining comment I said, do you know what it means?

At the end, I got what I wanted and I am not a wreck. And that is a victory.

I met with my husband after work and we went for dinner. I had a beer from a local brewery that's called Victory hopdevil. It sounded appropriate.

Now the next big fight will be when I give her notice, whenever that be.

So much web and nowhere to talk to

I got frazzled for a bit.

Got this blog, got another and yet another. Then the forums, the social interactive sites...Frazzled.

I figured, this is the best place today. I don't know, don't feel like posting as the real, ID-wise, me.

I fell and hit my knee....BUAAAAA

On the way to work. I just...flew...and fell. Scraped the skin on my knee and palms of my hands but not too much, it's not bleeding. cry Hurts a bit, now that I am sitting, with the jeans touching it. *Pout*

I shouldn't think of throwing the shoes while wearing the shoes. Do you think the shoes took revenge? It could also be the boss jinxing me. I choked a little bit ago. Hrmm...

Favorite expression = Anyhow...

I enter the buildings, and there is this horrible unwashed, human body, odor lingering in the corridors. Then I realize it's not lingering on its own. There is someone stinking, walking in front of me. Crap, they take the same elevator that I want. Then on the 4th floor, as I get out, another horrible stink befalls me. Animal facility stink.

I don't know what's worse. Bliah!

Going for coffee now. Lots to do today, no rush to do it.

Haven't had so much fun since..

There is something like lusting over a gadget for a long time and then going around betraying it, like a flirt between a woman and two men. For the longest time I was all about G1 and then in an afternoon I fell completely for the iPhone. The fact that I can listen to music online all the time, that I can browse the web all the time, that I am right now posting on the train a blog...Gasp.

Best imitation of the living

I am so sleepy.

That's it, nothing else.

I have the i Pod blasting metal in my ear canals and still nothing shakes loose inside my head. I just need a pillow and then I will perform my best imitation of the living dead.

Can't wait to go home and in my bed again. NEED SLEEP. Didn't get much during the weekend. My poor brain is fried. Me needs zzzzzzzzzzs.
