TMI Tuesdays
Have you ever...
1. had sex with someone ten years older or younger than you?
Yes, I was in college and use to run around with my cousin and his wife, who worked at a radio station. A woman who worked at the radio station, doing traffic use to come around alot and hang with us. She invited me to a station only party at my cousins' house and we ended up going to a x-rated movie together than back to her house for an all night session. I think I was about 22 at the time and she was probably in her early to mid 40's.
2. drawn from a nude model or been a nude model?
Nope
3. had sex at a company Christmas party?
Tried once, but no.
4. had a blind date?
Yes and it was a lousy experience.
5. slept with a teacher?
NO, but had alots of thoughts about several....LOL
Bonus (as in optional): had sex with someone within an hour of meeting them?
If you qualify it by saying, within one hour of meeting them in person then the answer is several. If you have to count chatting online with them first, then the anwer is no.

Weekend Update
All in all, the weekend was mediocre at best. What started out as a potential huge weekend, fizzled out to just an average affair.
Friday, L and I, along with the stepson and his wife, went to the Rascal Flats concert. We had lawn seats, in amongst all the teeny bopper gals in babydoll dress and cowboy boots, the young cowboy wanna-Be's in their Wranglers, Levi's, boots and goat roper hats, and then all the toothless hilljacks who took advantage of a Friday night in the big city.
The seats were in the middle high up on the hill, and not too bad, until some young, drunk, dipshits decided to fight over some girl and ended up falling into L and I. Damn near broke her glasses and gave her a headache the rest of the night.
Then following the concert, it took us an hour and half to get out of the parking lot, the entire time all of us needing to pee like racehorses. We finally got home about 2 1/2 hours after the concert ended.
Saturday was suppose to be a day of excitement. We had plans to meet another couple on Saturday night for dinner, drinks, and fun. We had communicated with her during the week via phone and text, but we had trouble reaching them Saturday morning. We finally got a very curt email from him about 1 saying that they guessed we were just playing them and that they thought they had found some genuine people that weren't into playing games. What bullshit. I was so pissed that i couldn't see straight. Which caused my scientific mind to begin to theorize about all the reasons for their abrupt cancellation and mis-informed opinion.
The most plausible explanation that i came up with is that she never told him that we had contacted them or called and he decided, without benefit of all the information, that we were blowing them off. I did email him back and told him of our contact with her and even called his cell phone and left a message to the same effect. But needless to say, our plans for the evening got dramatically changed and I was in a funk for the rest of the day. L chalked it up to experience and said that in her previous life, this happened all the time and you just have to accept it and move on.
Sunday we slept in, had breakfast out ( I don't recommend the breakfast buffet at Sweet Tomatoes; highly over priced), took the other stepson and grandson to the store, got some stuff for my son's scout camp trip, grocery shopping for us, and finally back home to do laundry and relax.
Between laundry and cleaning up the house, not much relaxing was done until after 9PM.
OH WELL.. another weekend comes and goes...

Finally Friday
The waiting is over. L is officially out of Africans-R-Us and she got her last paycheck without any of the usual grousing or whining by them to hold on to it till Monday. They even through here a party and gave her a nice parting gift (purse).
I must admit that i am pleasantly surprised at the outcome of this episode. I really thought that we were gonna have to go to war with them to get her last check and to have them be decent human beings about her leaving their company.
Naturally, she is upset by the whole episode. She feels, to some degree, that she is betraying friends and acquaintances. I keep telling her to remind herself of the bullshit and heartache they caused her over the years and how she was so stressed as to whether the door would be pad-locked or the checks would bounce.
The funny thing is that they have actually asked her if she would be interested in helping them out during a busy period right now, by providing some word processing support. I am thinking contract position, hourly as needed, 4 hour minimum, at the rate she was making at least, and able to work from home in the evenings. Christmas club account might get a whole lot larger.
So now that the drama of today is over, we can focus on the weekend. We are going to the Rascal Flats concert tonight and then who knows what the rest of the weekend will bring. Lots of sex I hope.

Voyeuristic Tendancies - ROLLCALL
Since I am relatively new to the blogging world, I am fascinated by the amount of information and the number of folks who lay their souls out there for all to see.
Curiosity has always gotten the best of me and so I read and surf with abandon, seeking the details and diversions of others. But like I mentioned in a previous post, under the same title, this leaves me with even more questions and a desire for more knowledge and curiosity.
I have noticed that some people get rather irritated with someone reading their blog if they do not acknowledge their presence. While this seems odd to me, the more I contribute to this venue, the more I become curious about those who are reading me.
I have followers, and I appreciate them all and their acknowledgment that they regularly pay me visits. I get comments, thanks Samsmamma and VK for your regular contributions.
So in an effort to find out who is "stalking" me, I enlisted the help of Samsmamma to add a site meter. OK... I am a dumbass when it comes to computer programming. I know rocks, and dirt, and soil, and water. Not code.... After a few emails back and forth, I got it. I can see the origin and location of the followers, but little else.
So now my simple request and question is this. Please drop me a comment, tell me what you think, and where your from. I promise I will take all comments in stride and if you like what you read and want to know more, please sign up as a follower.
Be talking to you.

Before I was married, it was Blood Diamond.

And The WInner Is??????
L officially resigned from Africans-R-Us today and has accepted the position with the new company, starting next Monday.
We wrote her resignation letter last night at home. I took extra pleasure in getting in a dig about how they under utilized her experience and education. Here is a snippet:
I have accepted a position with a firm in the area that will allow me to fully utilize my education and my 20+ years of administrative and secretarial expertise.
A very diplomatic way of saying; you fuckers are too damn dumb or just prejudice against letting a non-African (i.e., Nigerian) have any level of responsibility in your company.
So when she handed them the letter this morning, after cleaning off her computer of all her personal info and selectively saving some documents for potential future litigation, she handed the letter to her supervisor. At first she was OK with it. I had told L several months ago that they will probably be relieved when she leaves, since they will be able to hire someone who is less intelligent, less responsible, and someone that they can control more easily.
After the initial reaction, then the climate turned cold, with her supervisor turning totally indignant about L staying extra hours this week to train the boss's daughter to cover the front desk. She also basically told her that she would probably only need her to work her regular 24 hours this week, rather than 40. Now go figure....they want her to do her regular job, plus train the boss's daughter in 24 hours of actual work time. But this is their typical modus operandi. They are so self-absorbed and want to control everyone, they will cut their noses off to spite their face.
So it remains to be seen if she will work more hours this week or keep the same schedule she has had for the 1st 6 months of this year. And the big question remains... will they try to screw her over on her check on Friday.
More to come as it progresses.
