In our group of 6 we had two husband/wife combo's and me and the other guy were both single. we really didn't mind the scnery all that much but with, not kidding, 1500 canoes on the river it kind of made staying together and relaxing a problem. We would come to some spots and have to pick our way through canoes. One bunch in a raft got smart and billigerant and I bailed out of my canoe and went and dumped them over to COOL the guy down a little.. Basicaly it amounted to him saying I didn't have the ***** to come over there and I had just the right amout of Coors Light in me to be 10' tall and bulletproof. Why do people have to be such *******s sometimes?

I haven't floated that river since '98. Things must have changed since then. I suppose it would be nice to keep the scenery if we could loose the crowd and the excess testoserone.
Edit: That sounded too darn old-person-ish to me. I retract that last comment and say party down. My "first" 29th is coming up this weekend and I'm feeling sensitive about it

Is anyone else left on here besides me. If someone replies then you are the 500th post on this thread and we'll celebrate.
After ten miutes of waiting I have found noone is still on this thread. I'm signing off for the day.

Yep, I'm here as advertised. The night is young and the frustration with administration has already begun. Thankfully, I don't have to be here on days when the circus is in full swing; I just have to sort through the left over BS to try to get some work done.
"Management of Change" is a hoot when nothing has changed except the admin guys start to learn about something that has gone on since 1958. All of a sudden we have to stop everything and rewrite a procedure and have it signed by everyone but the CEO. All to change out a faulty pressure guage.

I was also correct in saying bad things would happen today. People who screwed up got in trouble. Some not as much as needed. Managers who got in trouble took it out on others. Honestly, why my supervisor didnt walk out, I have no idea. I would have been fired for standing up for myself....not just rolled over and taken the fall.
Silly people. Its a job. Why some people take it so personaly I dont know. Then, so they feel better about themselves, the beat up other people. Bullies. Sad. The big bully here would get intimidated up by kindergartners if his title was dropped.
Come the morning...I plan abusing any invitation to speak my opinion. Likely it wont happen. Everyone is smart enough not to ask my opinion when they know it's likely to involve them getting bitten.
Set up my soap box, get me some upper management.....I am one very articulate pain in the butt to middle management. Butt.....oh, thats another story.
Good Morning!

Oh, check this out. We get a new Regional Supervisor. Yea.....whatever. He goes out and asks all his employees what could be done or changed to make their region a better place to work. 'His' people all think cool......a guy willing to make it better for us. Next day this guy turns in a work sheet to upper management at a region sup meeting. Management spends the day talking about how great of a job they did by hiring this guy. Cause he has already gotten down to the nitty gritty details of how the region could go better. His people.... 
Not me Im all
I love a good show......it all comes out in the end.

Its great......the best part.....people over a hundred miles away.....who have nothing to do with any of it....are making half the problems. They just like to see people react. Its all reaction and effect....the cause is hardly ever looked at.
Me......I walk in with a foil hat on my head....no one is crazy enough to start with me. Kidding.
I make my decisions using rules as guidelines. I employee my own version of common sense......can justify about any decision I make by the factores of the moment. Since they cant keep up, they stay out of the way.
Note.....I'm not the supervisor....not that silly.

I have this theory....... Say bad situation is at hand. I cant do anything about it, with it, for it, or anything to make it better.......screw it. If I cant do any of the above....then its not actually my problem. Someone elses problem. If it were my problem....I'd have to do something about it. Since I cant, and dont want to....I dont care. Now, you cant go gettin in the middle of it.....you just have to leave it alone. Just because you dont care. It works.
Well this supervisor, over the weekend. Decided to practice my theory. Decided he couldnt do anything about a problem , did know how to fix the situation. So he decided screw it...he doesnt care. He forgot the major ingredient.....it cant be your problem. It was his to fix. He didnt, he ignored all his calld over the weekend.
So this morning.....I'm like good morning.....gonna be a good day. Then I started laughing at him. The morning should be interesting when he comes in. I'm stil gonna be all reminding him how he got the practice all wrong.
