Work and Stupidity... Ugh
Hey there. Sometimes I (we, my wife and I work in the same company) feel that we practically run our company. These past few weeks have been especially brutal. We go to work at 7 AM, after dropping our kids at their grandma's, who take them to school. We SHOULD be getting out at 3:30 ish but there is always some shit going on where they need me or my wife. Today, was just plain bad. We were supposed to meet up with our future god daughter and her parental units so that we can get her a dress for her baptism. We took into account that we may be a little late so we scheduled to meet up at 4. Well, that didn't happen. At 4 ish, my wife is called in to do something important for the owner of the company. Well... our bosses keep her busy for a good 40 mins or so. Once she comes out, we start to shut down since we're running late, but what happens??? I'm called in to their office and am being held up while my wife is sitting on her desk, restarting her machine knowing that I'm going to be awhile. Ugh...
On a lighter note, something hilarious did happen at work today. Boss asked one of the girls there to order a white board since the one he has is "too small." The girl looks at the board and concludes that it's 3 feet by 3 feet. The woman and the board is right outside my office so I can hear her thinking out loud. First off, the board is a rectangular shape. How the hell can she conclude that it's dimensions are 3 feet by 3 feet. She then decides that to figure out the dimensions, she'll need 3 rulers. lmao At that, I got up and yelled out to her that she only needs one ruler and measured the board for her. It was 3 by 2. She takes off and makes the call, she then storms into my office and says that there is a bigger one available and that it's "24 times 36". I stare at her... waiting for her to laugh or something, but then I realize that she's serious and tell her that "24 times 36" is the same thing as 3 feet by 2 feet. She gives me this blank look and then says that she'll just order that one. No friends, she's not a blondie, I think she's just plain stupid. I've seen the same woman shave, YES SHAVE, her forehead at her desk. I couldn't believe my eyes, let alone my ears when she asked the office if Las Vegas was in California. The people I have to work with... And tomorrow, we gotta do it all again...

I've been Axed by PPP
Hey there. I'm a little ticked off that I received an Email from Pay Per Post, stating that my blog no longer qualifies to accept opportunities. They go on to claim some bullshit about "weeding out blogs" and keeping only the "elite" blogs for their advertisers. This upsets me extremely. Not only because I've been axed, but because their requirements are so minimal (90 days existence, no porn) that I don't see how they're are going to choose these elite blogs. I've only been around for about half a year and I think I've done pretty well. I definitely woutldn't classify myself as "elite" but if you think about it, elite blogs would already be well established and I'm sure that they wouldn't be hanging around PPP to make a couple of bucks when an advertiser that go directly to the blog owner. It just doesn't seem right to me. I'm pretty sure that Social Spark is next in line to be weeded out so warning to all friends that are members. The man is out and he's passing judgement...
Later.
Later.

NFL Openning Weekend is a Blur
Hey there. Yesterday was the first Sunday of the NFL and what a Sunday it was. Cincy are losers. Ocho Stinko had 1 catch for the game. Carson only had 99 yards throwing and this was supposed to be the unveiling of their high powered offence and they lose to Baltimore.
Brett Favre started his Jets era with some flashes of gunslinger Brett. Having himself a solid game, no INTS, and a wild 4th down pass for a TD. The game against the Fins was slow at times, but nevertheless, entertaining to watch Brett suit up and play.
How about them Saints? Down against the Bucs when Reggie Bush decided he came to play and helped this team survive against the Bucs. They looked good, if not great at times and if Reggie comes to play every Sunday the way he did in that 4th quarter, the Saints are a force to be reckoned with.
Did you see Donovan light it up against the Rams? What did have? Over 300 yards passing and I think 2 or 3 TDs? The man was on fire. I've always liked McNabb and if he can stay healthy this year, the Eagles can definitely go far.
What a game in San Diego!!! The Bolts were HEAVILY favored against Carolina, and me, being a Raider fan, was hoping for the upset. Boy, did I get it and some. Carolina being up in the 4th qtr allowed the Chargers to take the lead late in the game when the Chargers scored 2 TDs. Carolina, being down by 5, had to march down field and score a TD to win the game. Delhomme marched his squad and almost screwed it up when there was only 20 secs in the game the Panthers did not call time out. The ran their play and only had 6 secs left. A quick toss for a short gain and a timeout later, the Panthers only had 2 secs for a shot in the end zone. Delhomme pulls back, fires a bullet in the end zone, between 2 Charger defenders mind you, for the score. Awesome finish to that game.
I didn't watch much of the Dallas game. They were steamrolling over Cleveland so I ended up watching the SD - CAR game. This I can tell you, Dallas looks scary. They are already clicking on all cylinders and it's the first week of the season. I don't see them being beat if they continue playing the way they did.
Peyton, what happened man? I have you on my fantasy team and expected you to light up the Bears. Instead, the Bears turned on that defence and keep Manning to a single TD. The Bears rookie RB, Forte, just tore them up in the running game. I believe he had over 100 yrds rushing. The rookie looked good and Orton didn't screw up. Chicago looks to be a stronger team than last year and I see them battling Dallas for that top spot.
No, I didn't forget Brady. Horrible, horrible looking injury to his knee. Speculation is out there and he's done for the season and that's a huge shame. Top QBs are Brady and Peyton, then it's all the rest and if one of them is out, it takes off some of that competitive edge of going against the Pats. You practice and strive to beat the best but when he's out of the game, it won't be the same. It'll be one of those, "Brady didn't play, so it didn't count" type deals. Hope the injury isn't season ending but it looks more than likely that it is.
I told you guys. I didn't do a damn thing but watch football on Sunday. Gotta love NFL Sunday ticket. As for today, my Raiders are up against the despised Broncos. They've had our number the past few years. JaMarcus is starting, we have an explosive RB in McFadden, and our defense is much improved. C'mon Raiders! We gotta pull out of this, what is it now??? 6 or 7 year slump? I'll be the first to admit when my team sucks and we've been just plain horrible a good chunk of this decade. New season, starting fresh faces, Monday night football, all good indications of a new era in Raider football.
Aaron Rodgers also makes his debut against the Vikings. Best of luck to you, my friend. You got some gargantuan shoes to fill up in Green Bay.
NFL. You gotta love it. Later!

A Milestone Has Been Reached!
Hey there friends. I checked my Entrecard stats this morning and to my surprise, it shows that Metallman's Reverie has finally broken through the 200 drops list. Alright! This site has been receiving somewhere around 150 drops a day so I'm glad it finally reached the second century mark. To celebrate, September will be the "Month of 200". Which is basically my geeky way of saying that for the rest of this month, my 200th dropper will receive a 50 EC bonus for that day. Entrecard has been good to me and I've met several new friends from it so this is my way of giving back. Many thanks and catch you later.
