The Woods

Odd little thing it is, sitting in the wood

Others won't approach it, thinking that I should

As I creep I whisper to myself

"Others wish they would"

Dark complexion, unblinking burning eyes

It sees through all there lies

As I creep I think to myself

"I hopes it hears their cries"

The villagers cringe in fear

Closer I draw near

A snapping twig disturbs its rest

and returns a sinister sneer

I feel a chill, a darkened light

as the demon takes flight

I cannot run, I cannot crawl

even with all my might

Such an evil little thing I found sitting in the wood

The other fail to help me, as I think they should

To look away is what I want

Only that,  I wish I could...

 

Working for the weekend

A few years ago I created a account on Monster just to see what was available out there.  I don't have very many qualifications besides drive a truck and a forklift, but I was looking for any kind of warehouse job or similar.  Well.... this morning I checked my email and I got a message from Brooke from Monster Worldwide about a Infrastructure Service Manager position....

Here's some of the job description

As a member of the region/function Management team contribute towards the strategic direction and management of the organisationChair a cross-functional service meeting that addresses all of the issues that either already, or could, impact the quality of service.This is primarily about root cause analysis.

 Problem management of allocated problems, identifying their root cause.Pro active analysis of non operational service issues and recommendations to proactively correct future occurrencesManage and coordinate delivery of agreed development SIPs through the operations service managersDefinition and tracking of service quality metricsResponsible for the end-to-end local change management process and effective operation within the global change processCompilation of internal SLAsReporting service performance against service targetsChampion continuous improvements across all local teamsAccountable for process alignment with the ITIL framework and ISO standards

I don't understand how they thought that this job would fit me me, half of this shit confuses me and the other half sounds boring as fuck.  I do have a theory though, they don't actually match you to jobs, just send out this generic email to everyone on their list.

Here's  a few examples of what they offer me

Scumbag Alarm Clock

I over slept this morning.  I woke up at my normal time and grabbed my phone to look at the radar.  They were calling for rain today, saw some moving in and figured I should probably text my boss to see if we were doing anything today....

Next thing I know it's 7:30 a.m and my phone is buzzing, my boss asking if I was on my way up.  I replied, "No, I over slept do you need me too?"  He responded with "No, it's starting to rain up here".  I lay there for a bit wondering why he bothered to text me if it was raining.

Nothing else to add to that, just spewing random shit before I go to bed.

Double Trouble

Got a new paddle holster for magazines, not the reading kind.  Double mag holster for single stack .45 mags, or 1911 magazines.

I case anyone reads this or cares about what I'm talking about, this is for carrying two extra mags with me, plus the one in my 1911.  Carry as in CCW, as in "Conceal Carry Weapon"..... I carry a gun with me 90% of the time.  Why you may ask?  Because I fucking can.

Springfield Armory Mil-spec 1911 with Houge grips.....
