For a few weeks now there has been a secret general manager of WWe . All of this General Manager’s communications have been via email.

We are not suposed to know who it is. But the General Manager of WWE Raw Is now obviousness.

The best clue came out tonight while reading the match up of  John Cena- Chris Jericho vs Shamus -The  Miz.

This was said in San Antonio, The home town of a retired Wrestler.

Houston Raceway Park

Spent the day at the race tracks. Watched the drag races. Some pretty  fast cars lots of noisy m0tors and beautiful women everywhere. Must have been about 97 degrees and humidity at 80%, but it could not have been a prettier or more perfect day.

We started with a walk around the Property to look at the cars.

Race Track

There was a bit of a spill so everyone was at the atm, the can and getting food or beverages. The racing was put on hold. It happens at all races. So it was time to wander around and look at all of the people and the weird things they do. When the racing starts again, You know it. Loud cars staging, High revving motors and the usual stuff. Oh yeah, your pretty much alone walking around while everyone is up in the stands again. These people have like sonar for this stuff.

Seemed like every single race recorded, ended up with one guy blowing his motor or transmission.

Really it wasn’t even about the races. The better fun was walking around all the cars. Walking below the bleachers where all the women were sitting to get out of the sun. Talking to stray people about random things. asking weird questions of a passerby. One guy walked by with a box he was carrying like it was full of bowls of soup. So I asked him ” How many puppies in that, (are) still alive?”. It was clearly food and drinks for his friends and himself. He still felt the desire to answer with “no no just nachos and cokes”. He looked like “what a freak” and walked on. Cool. It was a private laugh. Try it sometime.

For the most part, the racing sucked, I lost interest in the races right away. There was much more entertainment lurking around below the bleachers.
The whole day was all about being out of my norm. You know what, we all need that sometimes.

This is an email I received from an Ex, She knows I design. So she knew I would get this email. Seems this email has been passed around a few times.

A designer in a company found it funny to pull a few jokes and pranks on a lady who was bothered by her kitty disappearing. She came to him to design her a sign , he was clearly bothered by the request while at work.

Hi
I opened the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so I was wondering if you are not to busy you could make a poster for me. It has to be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this afternoon.

This is the only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone number.
Thanks Shan.

Dear Shannon,

That is shocking news. Luckily I was sitting down when I read your email and not half way up a ladder or tree. How are you holding up? I am surprised you managed to attend work at all what with thinking about Missy out there cold, frightened and alone… possibly lying on the side of the road, her back legs squashed by a vehicle, calling out “Shannon, where are you?”

Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.

Regards, David.

yeah ok thanks. I know you dont like cats but I am really worried about mine. I have to leave at 1pm today.

Dear Shannon,

I never said I don’t like cats. Once, having been invited to a party, I went clothes shopping beforehand and bought a pair of expensive G-Star boots. They were two sizes too small but I wanted them so badly I figured I could just wear them without socks and cut my toenails very short. As the party was only a few blocks from my place, I decided to walk. After the first block, I lost all feeling in my feet. Arriving at the party, I stumbled into a guy named Steven, spilling Malibu & coke onto his white Wham ‘Choose Life’ t-shirt, and he punched me. An hour or so after the incident, Steven sat down in a chair already occupied by a cat. The surprised cat clawed and snarled causing Steven to leap out of the chair, slip on a rug and strike his forehead onto the corner of a speaker; resulting in a two inch open gash. In its shock, the cat also defecated, leaving Steven with a foul stain down the back of his beige cargo pants. I liked that cat.

Attached poster as requested.

Regards, David.

yeah thats not what I was looking for at all. it looks like a movie and how come the photo of Missy is so small?

Dear Shannon,

It’s a design thing. The cat is lost in the negative space.

Regards, David.

Thats just stupid. Can you do it properly please? I am extremely emotional over this and was up all night in tears. you seem to think it is funny. Can you make the photo bigger please and fix the text and do it in colour please. Thanks.

Dear Shannon,

Having worked with designers for a few years now, I would have assumed you understood, despite our vague suggestions otherwise, we do not welcome constructive criticism. I don’t come downstairs and tell you how to send text messages, log onto Facebook and look out of the window. I am willing to overlook this faux pas due to you no doubt being preoccupied with thoughts of Missy attempting to make her way home across busy intersections or being trapped in a drain as it slowly fills with water. I spent three days down a well once but that was just for fun.

I have amended and attached the poster as per your instructions.

Regards, David.

yeah can you do the poster or not? I just want a photo and the word lost and the telephone number and when and where she was lost and her name. Not like a movie poster or anything stupid. I have to leave early today. If it was your cat I would help you. Thanks.

Dear Shannon,

I don’t have a cat. I once agreed to look after a friend’s cat for a week but after he dropped it off at my apartment and explained the concept of kitty litter, I kept the cat in a closed cardboard box in the shed and forgot about it. If I wanted to feed something and clean faeces, I wouldn’t have put my mother in that home after her stroke. A week later, when my friend came to collect his cat, I pretended that I was not home and mailed the box to him. Apparently I failed to put enough stamps on the package and he had to collect it from the post office and pay eighteen dollars. He still goes on about that sometimes, people need to learn to let go.

I have attached the amended version of your poster as per your detailed instructions.

Regards, David.

Thats not my cat. where did you get that picture from? That cat is orange. I gave you a photo of my cat.

I know, but that one is cute. As Missy has quite possibly met any one of several violent ends, it is possible you might get a better cat out of this. If anybody calls and says “I haven’t seen your orange cat but I did find a black and white one with its hind legs run over by a car, do you want it?” you can politely decline and save yourself a costly veterinarian bill.

I knew someone who had a basset hound that had its hind legs removed after an accident and it had to walk around with one of those little buggies with wheels. If it had been my dog I would have asked for all its legs to be removed and replaced with wheels and had a remote control installed. I could charge neighbourhood kids for rides and enter it in races. If I did the same with a horse I could drive it to work. I would call it Steven.

Regards, David.

Please just use the photo I gave you.

Fine. That will have to do.

All week long, on my way to work and on my way back home from work, there has been a chain of idiots that stop at this dang yellow light. I end up having to wait a few extra minutes because some people do not know the difference between yield and stop.

Sorry no sound, I was cussing and people honked at me. Because they think I ran the yellow light. Idiots.

For the record, the proper measure when you come to an intersection with flashing yellow lights, you slow down 5mph under the speed limit and watch for a hazard. YOU DO NOT FRICKEN STOP!

I really want to make a sign that says ‘ If you stopped long enough to read this sign, you are an idiot, the yellow light flashed again, you can go now.”

of course by the time I get the sign up there, the light will finally be fixed. 4 days in a row it has been this way.. 4 fricken days I am screaming out my window and honking my horn waving my fist in the air. and just upsetting people around me.

Well If you know someone who drives this way to and from work every day. show them that the light at FM 1960 and Ella blvd, means “yield”.

People have no idea why others get road rage. some times I just think the guy with road rage, has I.Q. so much higher than the rest around  him, he seems insane and it sounds like rambling because they are all idiots and can not understand that  crazy language.

I myself am no good at keeping records of my purchases. I have to rely on online banking. I have to be able to come home and see how much money i have, what i spent it on, and how much I spent. I can not see myself spending 43 on a hotdog and a soda and chips and asking for a reciept and then tucking it away in my pocket.

Every bank I have tried boasted about some wonderful online checking they have. I find a bank and set up an account and begin to trust it. After about a month, the online portion of the account seems to crap out. It takes like 4 days for transactions to show up, or some times the transactions show up then disappear. What ever  it is I end up thinking I have more money than I really do. I end up with 7 overdrafts at $30 each. There goes my paycheck. Now I have to start the next paycheck at less than I should. This of course sets me back in all of my bills. So now I am forced to make the decision to willingly make myself go into overdraft again, just to make my bills. Now That I am behind and my checks are sent to me via direct deposit, I am stuck in an endless loop of debt for like 3 months before I can dig myself back out.

Well, angry I have to call the bank and scream to let some poor schlum hear what’s on my mind. This is pointless, he/she has heard it a million times and can’t do anything about it. The answer they give you is “I’m very sorry. It is up to you to take care of your records, our online system is not a perfect system and is just there to look at” . To look at? It’s just a fricken picture? A scenery ? Why do they call in it online checking? why don’t they say ” we have an online personal log in so you can look at a buncha stuff that could be current, could be old doesn’t matter we will squeeze money out of you some how”.  I NEED THE ONLINE ACCOUNT STATUS BECAUSE I AM CRAPPY AT BOOK KEEPING!.

My solution to this is if they supply anything like checks for free, I report that mine got damaged and I request more. Then a week after I get a refill, I call them back and tell them my dog at them. One week later I tell them my grand mother thought they where napkins and soaked up dog  pooh with them. Of course I drag it out till I get bored with it, or until my account stabilizes. I then close my account and hand them a huge stack of brand new checks to shred. Let them pay that guy to waste the time it takes to destroy the checks.

Now I go and tell a friend or an aquatint what I have been through, they always tell me to use their bank and then tell me how they never had a problem. Every single person has done this so far. Then I later see they are obsessive about keeping their records….. So um. their opinion on this sucks. Congrats on taking the time to do the math. Neat but really… I am looking for a bank that does that for me. a bank  that does not charge me 95% of my check once a month.

All the bank has to do is be legit, not a scam and have a good online banking service that actually updates after every single transaction. That is not impossible. That is not unimaginable. The only thing that makes it impossible is the barrier of reality  that is  and the reality they make you believe. Just be current. Don’t steal my money with shuffling my cash around with disappearing and reappearing transaction.
