TVP, Donna and Change

Got up early enough to make it to work on time, I'm
plagued by my inability to trust the direction/intention
and management of my company, therefore; I don't really
care if I get there on time or not. I arrived under the
blanket, so to speak, I wouldn't lose the first 15 minutes
as I usually do; you don't get your full 8 hours if you're
15 minutes late.
I find myself thinking about TVP's business practices,
they don't consider their customer's or their employees,
we are all dependent upon each other and should have the
other's best interests at heart; consistently! This isn't
and may never be the case, such events occur when the
chase for money is the motivating reason for doing
business, as opposed to perfecting your craft and enjoying
your work.
They've forced certain employees to undergo financial
difficulties, after said employees reached a certain level
of professionalism and pay, justified their behavior in
the name of growth and stability. What happened to the
stability of the people responsible for the business the
company engages in?
I found out today that a growing number of my co-workers
are being prescibed anti-depressants. Before I succumb to
that bullshit, I'll deal with the instigators of my
feelings, for now I tolerate the situation. At the first
opportunity, I plan to separate myself from this constant
source of agitation, in the meantime; I'll earn the money.
I need to get my dentures, once that goal is achieved
there'll be no limit to the opportunities available. A
healthy smile is indeed worth a fortune, especially in a
society that values appearance more than substance.
I was approached by a guy for a ride after work, he needed
to go to the Temp Agency to retrieve past due paychecks.
We spoke in the car on the way there, he mentioned Donna
being on my jock, he said he sees her staring at me all
the time. She's constantly cheesing as I pass her, today I
stopped and asked her what she was smiling about, she
said; "what I can't smile when I want to?" She knew what
time it was and I didn't open the can of worms that
presented itself, don't want to mix business with
pleasure, besides; I'm not into her as she's into me.
Yesterday, I worked with her briefly, as she explained
what we were to do; she made a point to get up on me. She
made sure her body touched mine, what I noticed most was
the fact that she seemed to be wearing too much perfume,
it was cloying! I didn't hold the fact against her, I
understood the intention.
When she first arrived, I didn't notice her scent, I
always shower and use scented oils on my body. My co-
workers have commented on the fact for years, guess she
enjoyed my scent and decided to follow suit, who can say?
She found reasons to motion me over to her area all day,
as though we were involved conspiratorially, she spoke of
Anne appearing as though she were nodding off and Dave
(the guy I gave a ride to) not seeming to be able to count
to 25. At one point, she went to retrieve folders from a
rack and bent down to pick them up, she stayed bent over
for longer than it seemed necessary; the woman has some
ass and Dave mentioned that too. Dave said when she bends
over, her ass spreads wide and retracts when she
straightens up, apparently he's been enjoying it!
Everyone's noticed her ass, problem here is that she
hasn't bothered to try to stay in shape, but it's not my
problem. She's a nice enough woman and I'm flattered by
her attentions. I'm not responding to her advances, yeah,
we're cool; but I doubt (seriously) if we'll ever get Hot!
My boss, Jack, asked if I'd come to work on the Stitcher
tomorrow; I said no. After all the thoughts that ran
through my mind, there was no way I'd show up on the job
tomorrow, apparently, most of the people there feel the
same. Some of my co-workers have decided to put up with
this bullshit because they feel that they're too old to
start again somewhere else, also, most people are afraid
of change. Change can be rough to handle, they're enjoying
the stability of weekly pay, even though it's less than
they've enjoyed in the past. I'm not afraid of change, I
welcome it, change is one of the truest concepts of life.
