Had a feeling you guys would pass 10,000 before
I had a chance to come back..

Well, just got back from hometown, South Dakota..
my dad's battle is finally over..God called him home
on the 15th of September and yesterday he was
buried next to his parents..I am grateful he is at
peace and out of pain but right now, my heart is
broken..

In honor of my dad's memory - please don't forget
about the miracle of organ donation as it helped
with a few more trips around the sun for my dad..

Our family chose this song for the wake service

Deeply sorry for your loss, hope you and your family can move through things ok and find some peace in this difficult time.

Anyone know what he was using in self defence that got him beaten and killed so many times?

Hmm.. the fact that was killed 16 times suggests someone was using Ameri-do-to against them...

But the unlucky fella was probably using Kyokushin karate. They don't use face punches you know. And doing Seiunchin kata. Kata gets you beaten and killed in self defense...

Looks like the Gran is up for a change of scenery, professionally speaking.
One too many times the chiefs have been stealing this little indian's time, elaborating on stuff that are quite obvious - DUH - that I was actively kept from doing.
the top down work culture and lack of listening skills are creating a hostile work environment.
rode hard and put away wet over the course of over 6 month, now treated like I couldn't pour 'water' out of a boot with the directions written on the bottom.
Gonna compose an email to HR - not like that is going to do a single thing, but hey, I am not going quietly though.

Ah yep, good on ya. I recently resigned due to sort of a similar situation, and it being very clear where their intention and direction overall were heading. Hope the email helps things out a bit.

Face punches wouldnt help. Face punching gets you beaten and killed in self defense

Ohhhhh yep actually bang on, too right, my bad. I was perhaps thinking of something else that worked maybe.. but I heard it's written on some scroll in a cave somewhere...

Went to meditate at the botanic gardens yesterday, and forgot about the mozzies (mosquitos to the non-Aussie folk ). They tend to uhh.... LOVE me.....

Went through and just counted.... 22 bites. Not even exaggerating. And they were only the really obvious ones, there are most likely more XD

If only to make my feelings heard.
The 'exit interview' if you will.
I think Friday will be my last day.
Not as organized as I had hoped or planned, but still more civilized than throwing my badge and keys on the desk and stomping out. We had a lot of the latter in the last 8 months or so......rather toxic shop.

Ameri-do-te doesn't need to shoot though, it's more deadly than any firearm. Although they did do a gun kata that time.

Maybe they tried sweaty cuddles?

Yeah that's it, I think if it doesn't get brought up at all there's no possibility of things being addressed. Or it gets repressed and things explode in other ways!

Ah wow... well good on you for being committed to your own integrity and value. Alot of people just stick it out as they think it's what they deserve. Yep can relate to the toxic environment... there comes a point where you no longer want to be aligned with a company that's not integrous. Am sure it's for the best [emoji106]

AH you have a point there! What a conundrum!

I read somewhere that there's an actual preference. I think it might be tied to blood type. The Hobbit gets bitten much more than I do.

It's unfortunate when managers don't recognize those signals further down in an organization.

I hope the venting helps, and maybe it'll get through to someone and start some small change for those who are left.

SHEESH.....it Karottie..... if you're going to correct someone at least get it right

Yeah have heard that, bloodsucking little gremlins!

My bad. I was using the Gaelic spelling.

Welcome to America...we put chocolate in everything

No, we do NOT! Only chocolate plebeians do that. But those are not even worth talking to - they believe Hershey is chocolate. Us, chocolate purists, actually prefer our chocolate either on its own or combined in complex and sophisticated ways. We certainly do NOT put it in everything. PSHAW!

I think it's because they like my radioactive Chernobyl blood that much more. And they hope it will turn them into superheroes.

Karaddy, rhymes with who's your daddy?
