    Would y’all believe that I’m using a moistened popsicle stick as my smartphone stylus? It’s insane what the reptilians would dare sell us for higher priced-stylus costing $12-$30!

    Anyway, like yesterday Sunday’s mass during the ‘peace be with y’all’ session, my co-workers at this temp job from hell hardly made eye contact. Crazy! Only Laurie dared to make eye contact and greet Evil Kitty! We’re offended! It’s okay Evil Kitty, hiss.

    The others came late after 0800. I wanted to come in late and clock in at 0800. Even though I left late at 0700, I arrived at 0740 and emailed the temporary accounting manager my ‘formal’ weekly time art 0745. I left at 1615.

    I enjoyed working without the mess of opening up incoming mail, cutting up my cuticles, sorting the live checks from other correspondences, endorsing, depositing, and filing. It’s annoying that there is still no electronic uploads of these cash receipts.

    From 0745 to 1139, I ‘monitored’ the following email aliases – Statements, Invoices, AR Support, and my personal folder.

    Some of the work is printing up the remittance advises for the EFT and WIRE and of course CREDIT CARD payments. Most of the work involved providing copies of invoices, credit memos, and statements. The rest are junked to their respective folders, the completed folders, or undeliverable. I refuse to delete the emails because the contact information is stuck in the auto-reply from the customers.

    I took my mid-morning break from 1130 to 1145, and took my lunch from 1230 to 1300. I saw Philip, Paulann, and Kevin eating their lunches in the lunchroom. I usually eat 15-20 minutes and then walk off the food SLOWLY for the next 10 minutes. I almost missed my mid-afternoon break, which I took late at 1345 – 1400.

    I’m hoping that I’ll get the ‘returns’ processed. I haven’t touched January, February or March. That will give the cash outflow a breather. The rest is merely identifying which credit memos are to be emailed, mailed, or refunded by check or credit card.

    But because I’ve got four email aliases to handle and for the fact that I’m freaking fast in parsing the incoming mail of live checks, NCM is doomed without the likes of moi. I’m keeping Laurie busy with writing the customer numbers of these checks.

    But the way I’d handle the process is to separate the live checks by shapes and sizes, plug in the checks into the Elite live production while pulling out the ones that require more research, separate the check stubs from the live checks, rubber band the finished check stubs, run my ‘tape’ using the Excel spreadsheet, which allows two areas of ‘cross-checking’ the live checks against 1. the Elite entries and against 2. the bank deposits, which doesn’t always capture the amounts properly, endorse the back of the live checks, and deposit it. Bingo!

    As for taking care of the phones, it’s still distracting. But at least the calls involve simply emailing copies of invoices, etc.

    I like the area. But I’m bored.

    Third of Americans take precautions to protect web presence, Pew report finds

    http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/16/americans-protect-internet-presence-pew-edward-snowden

    1. Whistle-blowing is a good change. I could whistle blow but it will be a humorous ending.

    2. Is Snowden really alive, a spook? How do we know of this is all done in a Hollywood studio, eh?

    3. This exercise is good, in that it allows people to converse face-to-face instead of using electronic communication. I noticed people are cautious at work with using Instant Messaging, etc, for example.

    4. Privacy is good but the government already had files on people without their knowledge. It’s just that the government is “silent”, allowing people to exist “normally”.

    5. Security is good. But as I told Philip, the price is freedom. I was referencing my being “free and clear”, meaning I didn’t have any responsibility, except car insurance and smartphone bills. Seriously! I’m spoiled and don’t care!

    Paradise. Heaven. As per my old blog, I’ve never visited Hawaii and maybe one day, when and if, I’d go there on my honeymoon.

    Yeah, right! Keep dreaming, Flynn!

    Off-topic thought: I could see myself as the lazy/laid back man/heir having fun behind the scenes (wink) and potentially as the woman leader/potentially AR supervisor.

    In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “A House Divided.”

    I haven’t been keeping up with current news and events. But one issue stands out and that’s employment.

    Side one: in order to survive on this hellish planet, one must keep the cog wheels of the Beast system well greased. And by working hard and contributing time and effort back into society, wages and salaries are paid in exchange for services rendered.

    However, this Beast system only allows those compliant, non-combative, non-controversial sheeple to participate. This monster does NOT like free-loaders or whistle-blowers. The monster will prevent truth-seekers from ever getting a fair deal in life. Honesty in this case is NEVER the best policy.

    Side two: in order to survive, dishonesty prevails. For example, Loca Lolita is a crazy bitch. She lives next door to us. However, she rides the Beast system by taking money from the taxpayers. This method is by no means ethical. But lots of people have nowhere to go but live off the free handouts of the government and other charity.

    Allegedly disabled people like her don’t contribute back to society. Instead they take the parasitic approach in life and blame others for their unfortunate situations in life.

    Bottom-line: each person is given a blessed cross of burden, just heavy enough to carry while stuck on this hellish planet. Although employment is a good incentive to keep trouble-makers preoccupied with the reward of earning money for blings, there’s always help out there for those who can’t work and are in the most need of thy mercy.

    Okay, people! I’ve been getting only four hours of light sleep for the past month after Philip broke the news that they are considering to convert me to full-time employment.

    I don’t know WTF is going on or if I’m going Saiyan or something. My waking hours are around six o’clock in the morning. I’m wide awake and ready to work. But it’s Sunday.

    I’m currently brewing fresh coffee and walking around in a clockwise direction. It’s too get the blood flowing.

    I’m not feeling hungry and noticed that I can go to work by skipping breakfast and would feel the onset of hunger pangs during the midday when I eat a snack bar and go on my work break.

    I realize that I’m getting older and my body is changing and slowing down. My sort term memory is affected. I noticed I would print papers, only to forget. Rosemary is kind to hand me my copies.

    I’ve been feeling aches and pain and recently have taken OTC painkillers. But the old injuries are still not repaired and thus are affecting my work. I can’t lift heavy objects, such as those Iron Storage boxes for my remittance advices.

    I’m hoping that when and if I could have full-time employment, I may seek to have a new primary care physician refer me to an orthopedic surgeon.

    I’m really undergoing karmic debt. But all is well as long as my fingers respond. The tingling is getting worse and the coloration hasn’t turned blue or purple yet.

    Now I’ll enjoy several cups of Starbucks Anniversary blend alone. My existence is a lonely world. Though the presence of two Lutino parakeets keep me company, it’s not the same without humanz. My parents are still sleeping.

    Wow! What are your plans with the leftover wood/branches?

    Congratulations on your new dream baby girl named Catherine, John Jr! In real life, I’m certain you’d make a wonderful daddy!

    Done! I understand. God’s will be done, Don.

    As a result, when and if I am potentially offered to be converted to full-time employment at my temp job from hell, I’ll accept. I’ve nowhere else to go and none seems to want me.

    They need someone who can help and I need help getting back to the workforce and earning a living. And obviously y’all need help, too.

    I realize that I was being selfish and feeling sorry for myself and forgot the job opportunity was supposed to help me and my future, and you and your boys. Mom is correct.

    I shouldn’t have such a bad attitude in love and life. I hope y’all will forgive me. I didn’t realize I was being too hard on my parents, too. I need to inspire my brother.

    I’ll go away for awhile and reflect on the errors of my ways. I may/might have had a thought earlier this evening, in which working full-time would enable me to keep my promise ‘to help those in the most need’.

    I apologize for my reckless ‘thoughts’, too. Again, I ask for your forgiveness in advance of any offense. I’ve been thinking about y’all. Bah!

    P.S. Mom’s got hurt feelings again by moi. Oops!
