Lonely Road of Faith

Ok, so I stole that title from Kid Rock but I don't care. ;-p It seems appropriate as of late so... *smirks*

Lessee... where shall I start? I guess with the major load of crap going on at work. It's been what's making the maddest lately. You all know what I think of our store manager... he's an egocentric, self-promoting, backstabbing, lying sonuva jackal. Well, as I might or might not have told you, he was under investigation and wasn't being allowed back into the store until these issues were resolved and as you might know he's back. *nods* I've found out more about what he was being investigated for and I got more and more upset. He's back and saying that all this is in the past, we're all starting all over and just majorly blowing smoke up everyone's backside. He was under investigation for a series of loss prevention and ethical improprieties ranging from stealing from the associates, fraud, forging documents and so on.... Well, I was reading the monthly newsletter that wal-mart stores inc. puts out the other day and almost died laughing because of how much the leaders of our company were stressing ethics and doing the right thing and here is this idiot who has been allowed to keep his job after these types of issues were brought to his superiors attention. The real kicker now though is the CBL (computer based learning) module that we all have to take about our company's statement of ethics. What a crock!!! When this sort of thing is allowed to take place and the management isn't held to at least the same standard that the hourly associates are, what is the point?

On another front... I need to move out. I know I keep saying it. It just gets worse and worse around here... I wish I could afford to have my own place.

I saw a few people tonight and yesterday that I haven't seen in a while. They each brought back some memories and some emotions. I don't wanna get too personal here so... I'll just shut up but before I do I wanna say that one of them asked me about my dad... I almost cried. She was trying to be friendly and catch up but... it just hit me hard. I should be used to the idea that he's gone... but I'm not. I miss ya, Dad!

I'm concerned about a few of my internet friends. Each for a different reason but I want them to know that they are in my thoughts and prayers... always.

Now... I think that's about everything I wanted to talk about so... I'm outtie!
