Someone at my office has been stealing my food.

I keep a stash of Trader Joe’s frozen food in the office freezer as a last resort. I had 10 minutes between meetings and went to the fridge. At least 2 of the items were gone. I mean, really?

Buy the same product again, leave the package outside in the direct sunlight for a week or two or three, then put it in your office freezer. 

Just remember not to eat it yourself.

I was in SF for climate week.  Attended and hosted quite a few events.  Most were great none were horrible.  The usual plan is to sign up for a bunch of events and then once accepted, decide which one to go to.  The challenge is you have no idea how big the crowd will be. 
 

One of them was a dud.  8 people showed up including a couple who was clearly friends of the host.  Found out they lived in Austin but were from SA, went to utsa.  Group did an intro and the young guy said “moved out here for work” while the wife is “I’m a hippie, part time volunteer,etc “ sounds great though I’m curious how they’re surviving on one salary in SF.  Chatted the guy up and thought he may have been an engineer. Nope.  He let it slip that he worked for a conservative church. 20 minutes later, the lady says to me and my colleague, who is indeed conservative himself “glad you’re here.  The hippie story is a cover up.  I’m a pro life activist “

be comfortable in your own skin people.  No need to lie

How was the weather?

The Trader Joe’s green chili chicken is delicious, and I am rightfully surly that someone stole mine.

*chile.
 

Green chile is serious business for New Mexicans. Chili is a dish. Green chile is a particular pepper, most commonly known by the trade name Hatch Chile.  Hatch is a town in southern NM that is a center for green chile production and they’ve done a good job marketing their trade name.

And this Texan loves New Mexico for it.  Love me some green chile pork or chicken.

Had my performance evaluation earlier this week. It was the lowest “grade” I’ve ever gotten in my career.

I admit that there were some things that I could have done better, but my other contributions were mostly overlooked. When I brought it up and said “it’s on the right side of the page where I put it in my self assessment” my manager looked at it and said “oh”

Having a direct report that regularly  blew up at everyone didn’t help my cause.

It’s been bugging me since. I’m not pissed, just kinda depressed at this point. My entire career I’ve gotten good to great reviews so this was a kick in the nuts. I have a lunch scheduled with one of the SVPs to get his take.

Fuck it. Gonna drink some more Japanese whisky.

 

BTW, Nikka From The Barrel is delicious and a steal at $60,

I went to Costco today.  I fucking hate it when people bring the entire family to wander around.

Costco on Saturday. Rookie move.

Had a chat with one of the SVPs about my performance evaluation last week.

Turns out one of the dings against me was because one of my direct reports did the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I (and others) told him to do.

I got my first ever poor performance review in 10 years last quarter because I was on PTO for 2.5 weeks so my production volume was lower than everyone else. I worked my ass off and exceeded my Q2 goals in just one month. Now my cunt manager thinks that I must be cheating somehow so she’s scraping the bottom of the barrel to find ANYTHING that I might be doing slightly wrong. 
 

Bottom line is fuck corporate America and fuck middle management.

I welcome the "inspection" when my results are like that.

Have always told my teams if we finish dead ass last, it'll be because we still did it right.  Same goes for being at the top.

Fuck the insecure management who cannot understand/ explain the results.

I've seen newly hired supervisors do that shit before and it never ends well for them. "I gave you a lower score because if you get a perfect score, it's impossible for you to improve!". One chat with the higher-ups and they get in line real quick. You want to ding a shitbird? Fine, just don't fuck around with the money of the people that do all the fucking work.

I have been in Montreal all week. Canada has run out of bourbon. Went to several restaurants during the week and tried to order an Old Fashion at each one. They blamed the American tariff as the issue. Maybe they are saving it for the Canadians only? I said I was Texan but that did not change their mind.

Amen brother. I was a young dumbfuck but I made the mistake of thinking I could preserve my job security in corporate America by being the best at what I did. Turns out that was a huge mistake. It was only afterwards I realized that corporate America operates on a bell curve. The top performers and bottom performers are the number one targets for upper management. The best position to be in is average. If you're like me, aiming for average is the exact opposite of how I was raised by my parents. I just wasn't born to be a corporate man.

New one for the corp speak today. I'm sitting on a contract while my internal guys fight over it. Salesman: "are you able to action the agreement?"

I have half a mind to not sign the contract just for the phrasing of the question.

Based on this audience, this may not be "trivial", but I have been seeing more and more "Texas Aggies" shirts, stickers, etc.  Fuck out of here with that.

That's why I always use your phone number when donating to a PAC.

The DeLorean was a manual transmission. How did Doc shift the time machine with a remote control.

Google says Deloreans had either 5 speed manual or 3 speed auto transmissions.

I feel like 7 out of every 10 new show is a crime drama 

I hate crime dramas 

My in-laws watch these so I figured I’d give them a shot.  Saw the Irrational and I think one of the NCIS shows.  They were pretty terrible.  Writing was terrible.  I think it’s hard to present a crime and then have it solved in an hour but I have no idea why they’re so popular.

In the movie there were both versions.  Marty very much drives it like a manual.  When he's trying to get away from the Libyans, shifting gears was how he accidentally turned the time circuits on.

This was what set me off.

Standing in a hot jet bridge while some dumb broad was speaker-group-FaceTiming on her phone.

She’s was a younger African American woman so I remained silent because I’m not about to go out like that. That’s how you end up on the socials and getting fired from your job.
But the head FA told her to get off speaker immediately upon boarded…. Which I thanked her for profusely.
