GO TO TA GIT AWAY FROM WORK!!!

*sigh*

So I fire up the computer, fully expecting it ta Explode in me face
*shudders*  an' there in me mailbox is a letter from Bob down at BCS...

Bellingham Cold Storage is the place in Washington that we ship a Large
Chunk of our seafood to.  You know how We have freezers the size of a
football field??  Well, They have freezers the size of Detroit.
*laughs*

We sorta work Together...

Sorta.

There has been some rivalries over the years... them telling us what
dumbfucks we are (we are) and us tellin' them what pricks they are (they
are) and whereas that Ain't very professional, it Does relieve a little
stress ta just blame 'Them' *laughs*

*sigh*

Personally, I don't have too many problems with 'em  *shrugs*

till now.

So here's this letter from Bob askin' me about vans and fish and bills
of lading and WORK.

An' it's no biggy, for the most part I had alla the answers he was
lookin' fer offa the top of me head and I didn't have ta trudge down ta
the factory ta find out...

but I THOUGHT about puttin' me shoes back on...

I THOUGHT about headin' Back to the factory

An' I THOUGHT about Fish.

*sigh*

for free.

I'm not sure that's cool, ya know?

*grimblegrumblegrrr*

an' here I am STILL thinking about Fish!  *sigh*

well, on an up note, it's springtime; it's about plus thirty degrees
Fahrenheit out and hailing *Bursts out Laughing!!* but it IS
springtime...*ponders*... don't birds and bees start doin' sumptin right
about now??? hmmmm....

*sip*

Well, I'd say it stopped snowing,  except that the rain out there is
Pretty Dam Thick *shrugs*

So, what the hell has been going on, anyway? Hmmm?  *sip*

*ponders*

*laughs* well, to me it seems like incredibly mundane, normal Stuff
*shrugs*  ...dunno about you guys...
 

Now, I NEVER answer the phone *shrugs* even if I'm expectin' a call.  I
got a Machine that does the phone answering fer me.  Most folks around
here know that by now an' wait fer the little message (the current one
bein' a nice fifties version of "THIS IS A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY
BROADCAST SYSTEM.  HAD THERE BEEN AN ACTUAL EMERGENCY YOUR LOCAL
STATION
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE RELEVANT FEDERAL AUTHORITIES WOULD HAVE
BROADCAST THE FOLLOWING PRE-RECORDED ANNOUNCEMENT" *giggles*) an'
then
start talkin' like I'm sittin' there listenin' to 'em *laughs*, which,
nine times outta ten I Am sittin' there listenin' to 'em *grins*

So Sunday night I'm messin' around with the computer when I hear the
'Emergency, Incoming Bozo' warning, an' I stop an' listen ta see if I
Really Do have to Duck and Cover, *giggles* an' then Toms voice comes
outta the machine, all low an' drawn out "...tooooOOOOoooorb..."

An' in the background there's Tim yammerin' on like he had washed down a
bag of chocolate covered espresso beans with a double latte some minutes
before, babbling  something like " i can see you...put down that video
game controller and answer the phone..." or some such *shrugs*

Seein' that it was just a couple of freeks I picked up the phone an'
proceeded ta chat with me new boss.

Seems they were puttin' the call-out list together fer Monday and the
only gig going on was a little halibut boat that was gonna go out fresh
in the afternoon... a little crew, unload the boat, clean the fishies,
pack 'em inta boxes fer the airplane, no biggy *shrugs*

fer whatever reason Tim was under the impression I wouldn't want in on
that an' Tom was of a different mind, so they called *laughs* probably
ta solve a bet *shrugs*

Seein' how the ball was now in my court, an' also still hearin' the
Chaos Junkie yammerin' in the background, I asked 'what's the score and
who's the crew?'

7000 pounds, and these bozos

*laughs* you betcha, count me in.

Don't know who won what but the next day I'm there in yellow rain gear
an' rubber gloves an' beard net an' stuff, all proper like *giggles*

same gig yesterday

same gig today *shrugs*

Playing with fish hasn't changed much *laughs*
 

as far as Gossip goes, well, *smirk* rumors are always running rampant
around here

I gotta go

So, I had the weekend off, an' Saterday mornin' the phone rings *shrugs*

An' the machine picks up an' announces the fact that some Bozo is indeed
tryin' ta git in touch with me, an' said Bozo, bein' really determined,
waits fer the silly message ta finish so he/she/it can start yammerin'
at me.

I'm undaunted by alla this an' continue ta kill commies at a furrious
pace *giggles*

"...AH, Meester Tohrb Jeensin, Ahye haf meester Suzuki here...OH, thiz
iz Raul, ..."

*bursts out laughing!!*

Like the cheap Ricardo Monteban accent didn't tip me off *giggles*

So I pick up the phone, already knowing the answer... 'hey Raul.  It's
in holding seven, back in the corner...'

"Oh Kay, I go look."

An' I'm gonna kill commies, ya little freek *giggles*

The phone rings again, an' seein' how it was now just sittin' Right
There on the sofa next ta me I picked it before the machine (rare, I
know, but I had a feelin' I knew who it would it be)

"Eet's not there"

'It's there, back in the corner... the Other corner, over by yadda
yadda, ya know?'

"But Tohrb, there are a Lot of Totes there"

*sigh*

'no, the Other Other corner, by the wall, ALL the way back, go look.'

"...ooOOooh, over There, Oh Kay, I go look"

more commies died

The phone rang

*sigh*

'Ya...'

"Ahye Found It"

*Laughs*

'Right On Raul.'

"Oh Kay, I go now"

Thus ended the Raul Reality Check an' commie killing continued

So Sunday morning I'm sitting in the bathroom, sipping coffee, smoking
cigarettes, when the phone rings *laughs*

"TooOOOoorrrb....this is WoooOOOooorrrk
caaaAAaaalling.....TooOOOOoooorb.."

killing commies is one thing, but sitting and sipping an' smokin' with
Toms voice floatin' around me house *laughs*, no way.

So I got up an' answered the phone.

'whaddaya want?'

"where's the gel-ice?"

'holding seven, back in the corner...'...dejavu

"but there's a lot of totes up there"

 ya fucking freek, knock it off!

'um, ya, well, back in the corner, straight in from six...'

"alright, got it"

*shudders*

I gotta go

Well, weather willing, I'll be wingin' me way south in a few hours... I
hope I hope I hope *giggles*

Rainin' cats an' dogs here... me folks tell me it's sunny and in the
80's where I'm going *laughs* not sure I'll be able to handle that
*sigh*

Sunshine...

...in April...

What a novel idea *giggles*

Oh, we've had a few nice days... and some Very Nice nights, but somehow
basking in the crackling glow of the northern lights just ain't the same
as burnin' yer skin to a crisp with some nice, hard, solar radiation, ya
know?

Oh well, I gotta pack

seeya in about ten days or so *smirk*
