Monday on a Wednesday

My cosmic clock is all awry. It is wednesday officially but my body is telling me it is Monday. I called in sick yesterday and missed my IT day so I am making it up today. This is not ideal as I have plenty to do.

My ex-boss and one of my internal customers told me this morning that we are going 'Green', something he assumed I was instantly akin to as I am a hippy. This means more work for yours truly but am sure I can spin it to my advantage in some form or another.

People seem to be quite hostile today and have already had a confrontation with one employee who thought by me putting Big Brother on his computer I was aiding the 'Man' with spying on the black man. I am not quite sure where this came from.

On the subject of Race Relations. Walking around the warehouse I heard two radios on the same station discussing the NOLA mayor's "Chocolate New Orleans" comment. These were African American oriented stations and they were having fun with it. Can someone tell me when it became cool to be racists? Black Planet.com, BET, viva la rasa..... all kosher and cool. Ummm. I wonder if this is a global disease or if this is just a North American illness.

Starting to get hate mail from my neice from my previous marriage. She is an Uber christian and young. She is a great young lady and I love her to death so the messages I have received have kinda cut me deeper than I would have thought. She reminds me alot of my own sister at her age, opinionated and naive but genuine in her beliefs.

Peace out. Going to anger someone else by doing the biddings of the 'IT' man.

ps. someone put the feelers out on me about another job but although the money would be there, the ability to travel and grow would be greatly limited.
