Zombie, Run!

The One and I had some fun last night on our way to and from dinner. There is an application for our phones called Zombie, Run! The app is quite simple; it uses the GPS on your phone to determine your location, you then pick a destination, how many zombies and how fast the zombies are, then your off to the races as the map of your area begins to be populated with zombies that are out to get you. It was quite fun, and The One and I might spend an afternoon in the car one weekend just roaming around avoiding zombies. It is an app Blu would appreciate and have fun with.

The One did get a bit hysterical during the first run. Zombies would be four blocks away on the map and she would be screaming for me to turn. I will not go in depth on the amount of screaming that she did, I will just tell you she throat hurt afterwards. As far as the afternoon goes, we would be willing to take on extra survivors in our quest across town. I would love to involve more people in this wildly amusing activity.

Speaking of zombies, I was ready to use my double tap weapon on someone yesterday. Apparently I have not been showing on-time for the purgatory office. Since I have been in this job, now three months, I have been showing up at one in the afternoon. Nothing has been said at all, not even when I have called to inform them I would would be later than one. Yesterday, most likely because of the presence of a higher-up who is taking the lead in righting the ship, the current man in-charge told my counterpart that I was to be there at twelve and to get me there immediately. When I walked in to our one o'clock meeting, that I took a twelve lunch for, she informed me of this change. When I asked the man (A bit hesitant in calling him that.) when the change was made, he simply told me it has been that way for a while.

I pride myself on being a good worker. And one of the traits a good worker has is showing up at appointed times. It does not settle well with me that I have been late for three months without my knowledge. Thankfully though, all that inner wrenching did not last long. While I am more than willing to take accountability for my actions. I am not in the wrong here. The purgatory office has been poorly run by this man and this is just another example. Even in the way he handled the situation was just poor. During the meeting, with every load of bologna that driveled from this man's mouth as a response to why things were broken and how can we fix them, I became even more frustrated with him. Thankfully I am not the only one, and things should be heading in the right direction for the purgatory office.

This reminds me that I have not recapped The One's situation with her work. To sum it up, the good gals won and the evil witch is gone. The other worker woman is still there, but I foresee a change in attitude or location for her as well. In the end it came down to The One or this horrible excuse of a director. A very easy choice indeed.

And then it ends,
