Well…uhhh….
jason’s done.
Cam is done…again…
littleyellowdifferent is busy…still waiting for Blurbomat’s vacation to end…minor9th is coming to town on business…
I’ve been seriously considering a few things…plasticbag’s advice, and Mark’s advice. Sounds like I shouldn’t be writing anything. Which isn’t too far from the current status of things.
Remember when I was watching Bush at the U.N. and I mentioned his finger rubbing? No…well — here’s the gist of it…m watching Dubya at the UN. Look at his fingers. He keeps rubbing his thumb across his index finger – he looks really nervous. Like he’s rolling dice – not quite as suave as Clinton’s thumbpoint. Well…thanks to a link from Kottke to The Nonverbal Dictionary of Gestures, Signs and Body Languagae Cues: From From Adam’s-Apple-Jump to Zygomatic Smile there is a theory of what that body movement could possibly signal – c. scratching, rubbing, or pinching the skin, increase with anxiety and may signal deception, disagreement, fear, or uncertainty.…
The new plug is out.
There was a Web Zen on music that is worth perusing…zen music.
I’m under the weather and life is really not a joy right now…I know I know – superfantastic — but it really isn’t and just repeating that is like a quick hit of crack that just brings you down harder…a vicious cycle. I woke up this morning breathing through some sort of clogged up strainer — I didn’t take a Claritin before I went to bed last night but my body’s dragging through the day is telling me there’s something more to it than that…The question is how much of it is physical and how much of it is mental/emotional? No matter. I still have to go to work — which has become quite masochistic. Yesterday we held a staff meeting – which was something short of controlled chaos. Everybody was jumping down everybody else’s throats — and the energy continued on into the evening well after the meeting was over – so that the bitching continued deep into the night. I’m also training about 8 different people this week because some genius thinks it’s a great time to open another location – and yet has managed to hire only one worthy employee. I seriously don’t understand what the thought process is behind his hiring some of these folks. Perhaps I should look into Human Resources as a profession — because most of the time – you give me an hour with somebody and I can turn to my intuition for an answer as to whether or not I would want them around me for any more of an extended period of time…
I’m gonna be spending the next few sessions online looking for scientific articles – or just plain articles – that show a direct correlation between the manner in which you treat your employees and the profit your business produces…You know — like – be nice to us and we’ll be a happier bunch and probably won’t want to stab out table 8′s eyes with their own fork that shovels that corned beef hash into the hell of their bowels…I know you’ve heard it — so if you see it – don’t be afraid to comment on its location — cause I’m gonna be real stealth and post these damn things all over the job…
How can one person be so obtuse?
