Yum.

Today we had our annual Employee Awards Luncheon at Job #1. I received my 5-year award and a lovely wooden pen/pencil/letter opener set, all beautifully engraved with my name, even. The desserts were divine and I ate several. Later I was joking (but not really) that if this stupid kiosk project I'm currently working on tanks--and that looks likely--that this could also serve as my going-away gift. Seriously, I'm fully expecting to have to go work at the jail here in a couple of weeks while I'm looking for full-time law enforcement work. But do you hear the desperation in my writing tone? Do you hear my sobs of disappointment? Me neither. Basically, I'm fed up at this point and I don't care what they do. I even spent a good time yesterday cleaning out my office, which is like the 2nd time I've done that this year. At least the office is looking good.

Enough of that. Tonight, if the storm doesn't intimidate us to heck, Mudflap and I are taking S and li'l bro to enjoy free pizza buffets at a local chain that is celebrating Law Enforcement Appreciation Week. All we have to do is flash our credentials and we can each bring 3 family members to enjoy the pizza buffet for free. So at least S is getting 1 free meal this week!

Speaking of S, he is definitely at war with this asshole manager where he works. Not his manager, but just a random asshole power-hungry manager that likes to fuck with people for no reason. I told S if it were me in that situation, I would've unleashed hell 2 months ago over this. So S is going to file formal complaints and it's about fucking time! Regardless, my goal is definitely to have S quit there and start school in January. For reals.
