Hissy Fits

Stay away from people that begin sentences with the word "You...", as in, "You think this... you think that..."

Another grown adult has left my life because he has no emotional control.  He made a 'joke'.  It wasn't funny.  Called on it, of course, blames me for having 'no sense of humor."  My clever retort, "Get fucked." His feelings were hurt.  Tough shit, he started it.

My life only began,in many ways, ten years ago or so.  It was then I failed the 'shit test'.  I broke down over the chiding, the name calling, the button-pushing, the meanness of it all.  They won that round and my life changed forever.  No more will I put up with anyone talking to me in a 'kidding' way.  No more, "Just sayings" in my presence.  I have no resilience for people who talk without thinking first.  

I've been seperating myself from these kind of 'bullies', although 'bullies' is just name calling, too.  And I have learned the biggest victims of this society turn out to be the biggest bullies, so I have an understanding of their predicament.  No one has ever taught them how to behave, how to have responsibility in a relationship, how to be a friend.  Dumping emotional bullshit on another is simply a way for the powerless to feel powerful for a moment.  Only, I'm not playing along.

My circle of friends has grown considerably smaller, but the quality of people is so much higher.  I feel free to express myself without fear of snotty comments, or to enjoy a good self-depreciating laugh in confidence.  Insecure folks that 'shit-test' me don't get passed the first question. "Kiss my ass" flows fairly easily from my lips these days.  I don't need another jerk in my life.

Wesley says ... 11

1) I have proudly pulled out my 'Bring the Troops Home Now' button from 2003.

2) Instead of National Health Care, maybe one should be taxed on excess body weight.

3) Make methamphetamine and crack cocaine legal for six months.

4) The NBA needs unlimited fouls and a penalty box. Or progressive ankle weights.

5) If GUNS kill people, I guess PENCILS misspell words, CARS drive drunk and SPOONS make people fat.

6) Common sense isn't so common.

7) PAY HEED: Jewish women have gotten the message not to attend Women's marches on Jan 19.

8) Any woman that tells me a relationship needs 'work' implies I have a job, of course, implied her as the Boss.  I've quit every job I've ever had.

9) The Lamprey Unions - SEIU, AFSCME, AFGE - invasive species attaching themselves to the host and sucking the life out of it.

10) How many adult people do you know live in a childs' fantasy world?

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve

The days are short, the nights too long

In my secluded cabin I sing a lonely song

I've removed myself from the madness

Want to delve into my sadness

Wondering if the sun will return

In blew the cloud cover

The rain falls steady and cold

1000 miles from my lover

Depressing to think I am old

Wondering if the sun will return

This world is dark in need of the light

Truth is awfully hard to find

To think for yourself you are in for a fight

Tonight is an early bed time

Wondering if the Son will return

Economic Draft

The American people don't want a job.  They want money.

I can understand their discomfort in the workplace.  It's slavery plain and simple. The time clock keeps you chained to your task, or pretending that you are working, either one.  Throw in a phsycopath/sociopath/narcisstic over seeing middle manager or emotionally damaged co-workers and your human spirit will dissolve.  Work isn't joyful.  Creativity is punished.  Together in name only, one doesn't even know what the other is paid for the same task, for the most part.  Snitch culture rules the day, gossip normal.

The union steward role has all been demolished, not by management, but by workers.  There is little pride in being a union worker.  It's seen as another insurance policy or another way to protect their laziness.  The 'union' readily let third party, i.e. government, to set workplace rules, doesn't challenge its members to take control or their destiny, always defers them to litigation, never calls an 'action' at the point of production.  They are strictly there to prop up the institution, ceding management rights in all manners.  No leadership, all subservience.

They want your body there everyday, on time, for sure.  But what they want is your mind, calling it a 'good attitude'.  You are to be proud of the ability to handle stress, telling anyone who will hear.  Excusing outright disrespect of fellow co-workers, joining in on the gang stalking of individuals who 'don't go along with the program.' Privately reporting in on statements of possible subversion amongst the crew, setting them up for dismissal if need be.  Being a Team Player means kissing ass - promotion secured.  

And nobody kisses ass more than woman and millenials, the present American workforce.  The great insecure, coddled masses will deliver the goods for employer by ensuring they do everything on their power to get those to do the work to do it, because they are sure as hell above it all. Place these type people in management positions and guaranteed, morale will deep six immediately.

People are more dedicated to their jobs than their marriages.  Divorce is always complicated, how many are because ones attention is devoted to work all the time?  Men deeply see themselves as providers, it gives them identity and pride.  Women are resentful of passing by their best years with little to show but a shaky 401(k).  Talking about work over the dinner table is the only discussion for some couples and the anger that ensues is addictive as an energy source, needed to face the alarm clock of the next morning.  Both are living for someone else.

Look Out - here come the robots!  No health insurance, no pension contribution, no days off for personal matters - what a worker!  Everyone can't be a fix-it technician. The change is coming like freight train without signals.  Remember the self-check out lanes at the market?  Now there are stores without any cashiers.  Dang convenient that toll way RDIF, you don't have to wait with the added convenience of tracking your travel.  Get a tattoo, get a chip in your hand - what's the difference? There will be no work place power because there will be no workplace.

Naw, it's easier to stay at home and have your essentials paid by Unemployment Insurance, Social Security Disability payments, food stamps, any old government pay outs.  And then the government collects its chits by demanding allegiance, unquestioning loyalty, having you approve war criminals as leaders every couple years.  And they come for your children to man the war machine to do unspeakable atrocities on behalf of 'Our Dream' - and you parents hand them over for boot camp to have their minds wiped clean of conscience and become killing machines.  You might even put a sticker on the back of your old car proclaiming how proud you are of him, or sadly, her.  It's an 'economic draft', after all.

Political thoughts... 05

1) Dialectical materialism is the communist philosophy of control of the rich and control of the poor.  Notice there is no middle?

2) Is The Wall being built to keep Mexicans OUT or Americans IN?  Are those troops now building camps in the desert for the pre-disappeared?

3) 9/11/01 New York  11/09/18 Paradise CA  01/19/19 ???

4)  If a person wants to be President and their last job was being a bartender, I just don't think they should be considered for the office.

5)  Elizabeth Warren acts like she has several feet to shoot, Kemosabe.

6) 750 million migrants or potential migrants in this world.  Governments don't seem to be serving human beings, do they?

7) When one accuses another of being a Trump supporter, it implies they are a Hillary supporter.  Is this discussion going somewhere?

8)  Identity politics killed independent trade unionism.

9) When you are bought, you should stay bought, Stormy.

10)  The next President is going to be a whole lot worse.

"Morning Dew"

Walk me out in the morning dew my honey,

Walk me out in the morning dew today.

I can't walk you out in the morning dew my honey,

I can't walk you out in the morning dew today.

I thought I heard a baby cry this morning,

I thought I heard a baby cry this today.

You didn't hear no baby cry this morning,

You didn't hear no baby cry today.

Where have all the people gone my honey,

Where have all the people gone today.

There's no need for you to be worrying about all those people,

You never see those people anyway.

I thought I heard a young man moan this morning,

I thought I heard a young man moan today.

I thought I heard a young man moan this morning,

I can't walk you out in the morning dew today.

Walk me out in the morning dew my honey,

Walk me out in the morning dew today.

I'll walk you out in the morning dew my honey,

I guess it doesn't really matter anyway,

I guess it doesn't matter anyway,

I guess it doesn't matter anyway,

Guess it doesn't matter anyway.

The Finish Line*

The Finish Line

The rocking chair money has arrived.

While I basically left the Wage Slave Plantation in 2008, I still had to eke out an existence. I did it with no State help, refusing CA Unemployment Benefits even when I was able to collect. Some might question that decision, but I'm living an independent life and not a Ward of the State.

I qualified for those benefits by working a few payroll jobs out of the union hall. When the local boys can't fill the job requests they filter down to likes of me, "the traveler", even though I have lived in the jurisdiction for 8 years. I got several jobs this way and milked them for all I could. These contractors didn't get much work out of me and I can proudly say I ended my electrical payroll career getting fired on a double time Sunday in the middle of the day.

I worked off my truck being helpful to my customers. Older, likable folks I hardly charged for my services, others I charged a lot because of their bad attitude. It was a word of mouth, business card promoted type of work, sometimes it rained jobs but I also enjoyed the droughts. Always paid my taxes like my fellow citizens Amazon, Google and Exxon do. I'm my own worse Boss, but I survived.

As a young man starting in 1979, I joined a group that was full of life. We worked hard, drank hard, played hard. We built buildings, big ones. The apprenticeship wasn't easy. The trades are difficult, the people are difficult, and electricity is dangerous. So are ironworkers dropping their spud wrenches. There were a lot of traditions I was supposed to go along with and I found that difficult, like showing up for work on time. Once the journeyman's card arrived, I felt as if I could go anywhere and do anything electrical to earn a living - and I did. From nuclear power plants to installing data systems, I did it all. Paying off three mortgages, raising 3 children, putting them through college, our family benefited. I carried a cockiness and confidence, down right arrogance sometimes, everywhere I went. We all did, the trades do that to you. You are as good as your last day of work, separation and rejection are an integral part of the business. Being nice wasn't a job requirement, but doing your job was.

I went through the class of the first woman taking an apprenticeship. A nice person, I bet she had a fine career, I'm sure it was tough in a lot of ways. Affirmative Action paralleled my whole working life. I learned to take second shift calls for minority contractors so we could fix the work of the day shift at a better rate of pay. I learned to understand that an address in the city or a lack of penis or a skin color allowed one to step ahead of me in line waiting for a job that's what my white privilege got me. Being 'union' finally meant Hooray For Me. The Federal government made that happen. No disrespect to many women in our local but the joke was, "she knew EEOC law, sexual harassment law, workers compensation law but she didn't know Ohm's Law."

Some of the characters I was in daily interactions with defined my attitudes about work and life. I think of them most fondly, us working and battling shoulder to shoulder for the rank and file in internal local struggles, and enjoy the occasional phone call from a long ago friend. My heart does nosedive when I see one of their names on the 'Less Donkeys, More Hay' memorial list the local puts out monthly.

After 25 years in construction, I thought it time to pick up a maintenance gig and glide out gracefully from the hard work world. Was I ever wrong. I was hired at a major university and thought I had gone to heaven. Change light bulbs and ballasts, push my cart around surrounded by co-eds, an easier experience I couldn't find. Parachuting into a gang of 15-25 year veterans, forever the 'new guy' and getting played on long time feuds and personal hatreds, it was a toxic place to work. I had no experience with office politics short of punching someone in the nose. I also had to deal with a time clock which I never had to before. That piece of of workplace life, so familiar to some, was a psychological hammer used against all of us. I really missed my independence.

I lasted exactly three years and left with my hair on fire. I lost my confidence, my ability to see anything without anger, my love of my fellow workingman. It was a low point in my life. To be fair to those miserables I left behind, my personal life was filled with alcohol and emotional abuse. I am responsible for my words and actions, nothing happens in a vacuum, but they were some rotten sonsofbitches, mostly. Some of the worst people I ever worked with and I worked with some real assholes. So began the Escaped Wage Slave blog.

CAUTION: ADVICE

Do what you love and love what you do. Never put up with jerks, put-downs, or authority insecurities. Learn what you need and practice it for yourself. Don't pretend to 'love your job' when you don't. Work is joy, if it isn't, make it joyful. There are a lot of people out there that need your help. If your job is to make someone else a lot of money, let them do the work. Helping others is your job.
