Website Feature

I live for anything spiritual in nature (of course gluttonous money grubbing brain washing religion aside.) Regardless if it is tarot or basic paganism, I am very much drawn to it.

I have this deck, The Goddess Tarot, and I find the artwork simple and yet very beautiful. The website doesn't do the cards justice. Anyhow, take a gander at the "oracle" section of the site.

Each person in Tarot has a personal Major Arcana card. Mine is the Star card, and is presented as this (beautiful isn't it!) Each card is represented as a Goddess (this one below is Inanna, or otherwise known as Ishtar.) She is a goddess of sexuality, love , war and was otherwise known as "The Lady of Heaven," the Mother of the Gods, and Queen of the Earth. My kinda chick! Oh, and by the way, she was a fickle little thing...

 

Although I don't believe it works online, it is still entertaining. I picked a card tonight off the site, just for the fun of it...

 

For thousands of years and in cultures all around the globe, the Great Goddess was worshipped in one form or another. Some considered the Great Goddess to be a personification of the earth herself. The ancient Greeks called this goddess Gaia. Gaia, or the World, reminds us of the importance of living in harmony and respect with all of the earth's resources--as well as among our fellow humans.

The World symbolizes the interconnection and delicate balance of all of these forces; to experience them within ourselves as well as upon the earth is perhaps the greatest gift of all.

Your choice of the World card suggests a feeling of connection with the universe, that source which nurtures us all. There is a new sense of expansion and hope within you now. Inspiration and desire for positive change. An awareness of the fragile ecological balance we are all part of and responsible for upon this earth. Travel and communications may be featured, as well as career expansions for the better. Even if you're uncertain how it will be manifested, you are moving into a more hopeful period of life. Trust!

Idiots, They are All Idiots

Hey, guess what? My distaste and disgust for people grows by the minute! Yes, that's right, they crawl underneath your skin and burrow like parasites. The largest group of dullards I have ever seen are at my current place of employment. Allow me to fill you in...
 
This morning the Health Department came and inspected the school where I work. Ok, here is where I bitch about one of the teachers, but I think I will back up and give you the short report on her and the situation first.

As I have mentioned before, I work for a private Developmental Agency for disabled kids - we provide various therapies and childcare (and the childcare is for "typical" children also.) In a nutshell we are broke. So, often times, if we hire a staff member (such as a teacher) we are stuck. I am surprised many of the folks even work here for the wages we pay. We need 4 classroom teachers each with a Master's Degree, but since the pay scale is less than pathetic, it is very difficult finding quality staff. They are great with the kids, don't get me wrong... but there is this one teacher...

I will call her "Dar." Dar is one of the grossest people I have ever worked with in my 25 years of miserable existence. Mind you, there are far more disgusting people, but she... she... she is pretty freakin' nasty. I will describe.

Even though the air conditioning in here is set to 72degrees, she sweats like a pig in a steam bath. But this is only the beginning. She is missing several front teeth and literally she farts almost all day long. She is approaching her 50's and I assume going through menopause, so her bladder must be getting weak. Why do I bring this up? Because she pisses when she coughs or laughs, then, she wipes her crotch. Yes, you heard me, she takes her hand and wipes her "private area" after she has tinkled in her pants. So, of course, she smells to boot, you know, between the bladder control issue and the incessant farting and sweating... I swear to god, I can't stand this woman. She is soooooooooooo fuckin' gross. And her teeth. God damn it lady, get a partial or keep your yap shut.

Ok, now back to what annoyed the bejezus out of me. So she comes up to me while the Center Manager/School Nurse is walking around with the Health Inspector. She had a concern about a child with diaper rash (understandable.) So I informed her I had already documented the case this morning and to leave the Center Manager/School Nurse alone for the time being; that she was doing a walk-through with the Health Inspector and as soon as they were done I would get her to have a second look.
 
No big deal, right? Wrong, she got pissy, demanded she wanted to talk to her now. I explained again that is not possible at this moment, to please wait 10 minutes until the inspection is over with. So then she goes over my head and talks to the Program Coordinator. Guess what? Program Coordinator told her the same thing I did, wait until the inspection was finished. So, Stinky decides she is going to do it her way, and pages her over the intercom loud enough to make my ear drums bleed for the Center Manager/School Nurse to go to her classroom immediately!!!

Ok, several words. Baseball bat, strong lye soap, Beano, Depends Undergarments, and a pink slip.
