darkfiremoon, hope you don't mind...

This conversation that I had with Anna the other day just amused me to no end. It was worth preserving. Pardon the massive typos on my part.

Anna: so i know you scrapped the dp oath, I did too, but did you have a piece of jewelry for it? I did my oath on sept 21 but i just got my new piece a few weeks ago.

Me: scrapped the DP oath?

Me: oh...no, no jewelry

Anna: the text they provide for you

Anna: the ritual with the stones and all that jazz

Me: oh...that's there as an example

Me: a suggestion

Me: no, i didn't have a piece of jewelery

Anna: just curious hehe

Me: i don't know...I mean, what on eart symbolizes "druidry" to me? celtic things, that's what...and I just couldn't thnk of anyhitng else, and I feel weird wearing celtic stuff.

Me: which is really weird considering that it wasn't too much of a stretch to meld hellenic polytheism with this particular flavor of druidry

Anna: thors hammer for me, i dont care its what works for me hehe.....but yah i am not sure in your case

Me: I also thought about it, and I could have looked for somethign greek...but what do i need? hell, i'm branded...lol

Me: if there was a Greek god who could have ever been associated with Druidry, Apollo is it.

Anna: branded for sure!

Me: all the thigns the Druids did...law, medicine, poetry, music...he's associated with all of it

Anna: yup yup

Me: yah fuck you and yer necklace look at my BACK bitches....yah see that works for me:P

Me: and yopu know, that onlyu occurred to me as i was typing it...lol

Anna: well cool

Me: and if that's not enough, i've got a fucking tree on my back too.

My coworker went to lunch....an hour and a half ago.

Not that I'm exactly getting swamped with calls or anything, but WTF?

He probably went out and fell asleep in his car, but the way he was acting last night, I wouldn't at all be surprised if he just decided to leave and not come back.

I think...

I've never been entirely happy with some of my DP work. Most specifically my 8 high days meanings essays- even though I've already sent them to Caryn and she said they're ok, I feel like they're kinda lame and the feeling that I get when I read them over is "Well, duh." Maybe I'm just paranoid about the statement of DP work being held to a higher standard for those interested in starting the clergy training program...but I'm not going to submit something I'm not happy with.

It should be easy enough to fix them up in the way that I want- which isn't really anything excessive. I think I'm talking about maybe another five or ten minutes work on each one. If I don't suck up all my time with web surfing, I could have them finished by the time I leave work tonight.

Dear Coworker,

You bitch because we have no work to do overnight.
So they assigned us some additional responsibilities and want us to take over all web tickets.
Now you're bitching about that- you say you didn't take this job to do that, you say you took it because you needed the insurance and because of the certification that we're supposed to get in 6 months.

You say it's not fair for us to do all the web tickets and for the day people to not do any...they take all the freakin' calls. We just sit here and babysit the lines. Oh, and Brian says that he likes doing them and he'll do all the web tickets that come in before he leaves at midnight. And it's not like a whole lotta those things come in after midnight either. I haven't seen a single one come in between midnight and 8am all week.

So...just...take a pill okay? And just go back to napping under your desk all night. If you're so bored, bring a novel. If you hate the job so much, quit. The two reasons you took the job are not the job itself. One is a benefit, the other...well, it's beneficial but it's an aspect of the job that doesn't come for another five months yet. So shuddup and stick it out or quit, 'kay?

Sincerely,

Fuego
