flash from the past
So, I'm showing Mom pics that people have found from the set of HP: PoA (which I'll link to in another post later) and this IM pops up on AIM from someone I haven't seen in like three or four years now. O.O;; I knew Drew in high school, and then started hanging out with him a bit in college when I was hanging out with the theatre crowd. I mostly hung out with his brother, Mark, though. Then, Drew moved on to another school and what not, and basically fell off the face of the earth for a while.

Well, he's apparently still in touch with Stef, who's down in Florida at the moment. She and I talk as well still, chatting it up about whoever and whatever. She mentioned to me that she was talking to Drew and that he was married and had a baby girl. I was a bit surprised, but I sent on my congrats.

So, Drew IM's me today on AIM, out of the blue, saying that Stef suggested he talk to me. We caught up on some stuff, but he wasn't on for very long, so he popped off again after about ten minutes or so. But, I got to hear a bit about his daughter (still lacking a name in my mind... lol) and that he's working nights right now, considering going back to school, and that he feels things are going okay for him. I told him about school, and that I just started a new job last week.

It was good to find out that he's still alive. LOL.

So, I found out all sorts of dirt today. The girls up front kept telling me about Ken's bodily functions and his apparent lack of notice in that department. I was amused (as most things of that nature are still funny no matter how old you get), but a bit grossed out with the prospect. I really hope I don't get a dictated letter that has a fart in the background...

There were a few more "I hate that person" moments today, too. Apparently, Ken can get a big stick up his @$$ at times, resulting in many pissed off people across the plant. Charity hit her six month mark last week and has been trying to get her paperwork done for her benefits. She feels like she's really getting the run around, which makes me worried. It's bad enough I have to wait another six months before I get anything, but then for it take longer because no one wants to be bothered with the paperwork? Damn! That's gonna suck!

Of course, Charity's afraid to say anything in case he decides to go all 'boss-like' on her and possibly fire her. That's not a good thing. It makes me seriously rethink trying to redo their database/word document/record keeping system. It's a pain in the @$$, but I don't think Ken's going to be thrilled with the idea of hiring a temp to transfer information from one set of files to the other... or pay overtime for us to do it ourselves.

Oh well... what are ya gonna do?
