Screwing Up Bigtime

You can have the greatest product or service in the world, something that everyone would love to have or do or have done, but if nobody knows about it, you might as well have nothing.

That’s what’s happening now.

Our gallery is scheduled for the Art Walk, which is where local artists sell MOST of their year’s work.

Problem is, the paperwork is still undone, long after the FINAL DUE DATE, because no one has taken JUST A LITTLE responsibility for putting that paperwork through, and repairing mistakes later.

Nobody did it.

Oh, sure, they send e-mails, text messages, insta-grams saying they just can’t handle it, and everyone reads them, but nobody takes action, because nobody wants to risk failure, thus guaranteeing failure.

So we’re currently MAYBE in the Art Walk. They’re holding the papers for us until we can get our shit together enough to tell them what we sell and who we are.

Christ, it never had to get this far, but it needs fixing — and fast — within 24 hours of now. Frankly, it should have been handled within hours of first receiving the application, where you track down every fact you need, right then and there, no delay, no prevarication, no dangling it out for someone else to resolve, because they’ll just pass it on like you did.

Abdicating Responsibility is not a good way to do business, nor is it a good way to behave in general. Nobody takes responsibility, nobody takes action, and nobody notifies anyone that there will be serious and costly consequences, and then shit-hits-fan and there’s shit all over the place.

Cloud of Unknowing

This Graphic Tee is only $75. You save $100!

Trump is dedicated to his own face. He has to be in the front of the news, just as he handles and maneuvers celebrities in crowds to demonstrate that he’s in charge, he’s directing everyone and everything, and everything revolves around him.

One thing you’ll note that is an outstanding feature: instead of creating diversions, like a politician such as super-sleazy McConnell would do, changing the subject, offering some glittering prize as long as it’s not on-subject, he goes nuts.

He is, in fact, exactly what he projected onto his victims — a nut-job. Actually, Trump is a nut-job and a half.

I like to be exact.

As Avatar of the Western Realm — which is a lousy job, but everybody’s gotta work for a living — I can’t, of course, directly interfere, nor would I intervene in something so petty as a local war or political upheaval.

Right. I can’t interfere. But I CAN suggest, and occasionally, I can point. This is one of those “I can point, but you’ll have to actually L@@K” moments. Continue reading

HEAL TRUMP, DON’T DUMP TRUMP! Compassion is the Key! Read On!!!

In my aspect as Avatar of the Western Realm — Healing is one of my Powers.

“Ray Guns Blasting, Johnny Jett burst through the door and sprayed the place with plasma.” Not my gaming style at all, and I hope it isn’t yours. I tend to play Trap Assassins, Druids or Necromancers, not Barbarians, Paladins or Sorceresses. Once in a while, I like to play Amazon, just to see the feathers fly.

How about a full-blown magical “White-Ops” that is intended to convert Donald Trump from a Man of War to a Man of Peace, from a Man of Rage and Hate to a Man of Love and Understanding, from a White Man to a Rainbow Man?

As you know, I’m not allowed by our Higher Law to interfere in local politics, not that I care enough to do that, anyway, and besides, as the Avatar of the Western Realm, it’s in my goddam job-description.

So, like it or not, I can’t interfere.

I didn’t ask for the job. I got it because I’m good at it and I’m willing to wade in there and get all grimy from the human contact. Like I said, I didn’t ask for the job.

What I CAN do, however, is act as an Advisor, at least until they come to take me away for speaking up about Trump?

The object is a conversion play, and I’ll be only too happy to explain in some detail exactly what this means, what it means to you, and what YOU can do about it.

You feel helpless, eh? Not anymore, you aren’t. Read on. Continue reading

Unleash Your Goddess Powers

Goddess is finally uploaded on the download site and ready for you to get hold of and jump into. But first, a few words about Goddess

Sure, you’re a Goddess. What woman isn’t? And some men. But what exactly do you do as a Goddess? You see, most Goddesses of the ancient variety didn’t have to do housework, weren’t members of bridge clubs, seldom went shopping with their BFF, had no text messages beeping at them every ten minutes and didn’t work on the side as soccer moms. There’s not a lot of opportunity to do Goddess Business when you’re stuck in a pair of pantyhose, standing on 5 inch spike heels in a mini-skirt, bending over a file drawer with a low-cut blouse, all for the purpose of getting a raise from the boss; take that any way you like, it’s the truth, it’s how business is done.

So where’s the profit in the Goddess Business??? Given that for at least ten hours a day you’re stuck in some kind of traffic or other, whether on the Freeway or at the water cooler. If we were in grade school, I’d say it’s long past due Time for Recess.
