CIJS, I'm so over songs muting the word 'fuck.'' What's the big deal with this word? I don't say it non stop, every day. But, every now and again...it means something. Ya know, for emphasis. Especially in certain songs. I was listening to a song, guess I chose the G version on youtube, and the word is muted. WTF? Please stop with this Puritan bullshit.

CIJS, I've had some wine tonight?

Yup, starts out easy and then slams shut on the "k".

Same with the word 'shit'.
Doesn't slam shut literally though, which is why shit tapers at one end.

Y'all need to look up "the pope song" by Tim Minchin...
Just saying that it has these complicated words...

Or Billy Connolly doing his stand up about the word "fuck".

But he doesn't sing it, does he?

Speaking of Billy singing...






Lyrics for those of us who can't understand Scoootisch


I've hunted for him high 'n' low; I've looked him in the eye.
I dream about the perfect way, tae make this devil die.
Come taste ma blade ya manky bear for gobblin' up ma leg!
I'll hunt ye then I'll skin ye, hang your noggin on a peg!
Mor'du, Mor'du
Mor'du, Mor'du!
You're ancient as the highlands and as unforgivin' too.
Mor'du, Mor'du
Mor'du, Mor'du!
Now the time has come for all of us tae slaughter you!
He's bigger than a Cuillin, killin' armies with his paws.
Mor'du is never happy till the blood runs from his jaws.
He murders in the mountains and he fights with ev'ry clan.
His teeth and jowls have ripped the hearts fae many a highland man.
Mor'du, Mor'du
Mor'du, Mor'du!
He's stolen lads and lassies and wee 'bonnie babies too'!
Mor'du, Mor'du
Mor'du, Mor'du!
Now the time has come for all of us tae slaughter you!
Through glen and bog and peat and fog we'll find your furry lair.
And then we'll lance you, make you dance- you bear that are nae mair.
We'll roast your rump, add haggis and neeps, and fry your blue blood black.
We'll mix a slice of thigh with spice and grill you on the rack.
Mor'du, Mor'du
Mor'du, Mor'du!
We'll bile yur heed wae dumplin' breed tae make an ursine stew.
Mor'du, Mor'du
Mor'du, Mor'du!
Now the time has come for all the clans tae slaughter you!
We'll make his hide 'a cozy chair', his head upon the wall.
We'll splash a dram of whiskey on his snout at every ball.
Tales will tell from glen to glen of how we slayed the beast.
And all will toast brave highland men at every royal feast.
Mor'du, Mor'du
Mor'du, Mor'du!
The legend spreads from fire tae fire, of the devil that we slew.
Mor'du, Mor'du
Mor'du, Mor'du!
Now the time has come for all the clans tae slaughter you!

I particularly enjoy the small giggle when he speaks of Mor'du stealing babies... or maybe it's a bit of a cry... oh well!

CIJS,

There is an individual in my department (I'm the manager of women's shoes), who in my opinion, is much more capable than being a shoe associate: I've made it clear to the store manager and the assistant store manager that this individual is manager material.  I believe in this person's talent: I know in my heart that this individual would surpass me and be a better manager for the department, provided that this individual receives guidance and training .

That said, in the event that this individual is ready to be a manager, I've been considering stepping down and going to the non-sell team, so that this individual can have a shot.  However, if it comes to this, it is my hope that the store manager will back me on this and let this individual take over the shoe department and not allow corporate to just stick someone else from another store in the position.  Bottom line: the store has a very talented individual who is still occupying their bottom ranks.  We need more people like this individual to occupy our organization's leadership ranks, so that our organization can continue to succeed and prosper.  There is no doubt in my mind that this individual has the ability to soar up the store's ranks provided that store management will recognize this individual's talent and develop it.

What if she wants to be "bottom rank" or not manager?
