29 February, Monday Diary

As nuts a night as I expected. That I had an associate working next to me through the night helped SO much.
There were slack periods followed by busy periods...but all the same, I had drivers calling 'clear' at 4:00, 5:00, 5:30.   
I was SO ready to get out...
I called Merry at 0530, She arrived..
6:14  out
6:17 in car with Sunshine driving.
  I asked her to avoid conversation with me, so I could lean back and close my eyes...
I woke up when we were exiting the 405 at Wardlow...way past our usual offramp.
She said, she fell asleep on the freeway, through our offramp and then some, so this is where we got off.
So she backtracked....
7:16 home.
I fed animals..
She started on MDM, by opening a can of beef stew and popping some gluten free bread in the toaster....
I added chips, and after she warmed up a couple large pretzels, we went to BR1 and  watched "The Circus"
She fell asleep, almost immediately thereafter... 
I started watching a movie that was in progress, "The Paper" from 1994.
It was 30 minutes in , and had 90 minutes to go...
I was intrigued... just because I've become so interested in these things that feature the behind-the-scenes doings of newpapers or tv shows since watching so much of "The Newsroom"
  but I saw, I could start it up 'on demand' anytime and watch the whole thing....
So enough of that, and to sleep  8:45.

Awake 13:30 pee, snack.
She was awake, told me, She might have to pick up #2, and take him to CoH.   
Back to bed..awake 16:00...asleep
17:30 alarm,  1745 up.
She wasn't home.
Stitch told me,  She had gone to "take #2 to the doctor and would be back  by 18:15."
That sounded strange.....
I busied myself changing the large bags that I tote to work.
She walked in with #2, around 18:00.
So Stitch got it wrong, again.
I finished that,  showered  and dressed...
Four of us in car 18:24
Work 19:16  IN 19:19.
The three of them went on to take #2 to CoH.
Then two of them went back to the house to pick up a blank check...that she might have picked up, when she was home earlier....but did not..
Then to HB to pick up #4, and bring him home.

Meanwhile at work..
Nuthin.  
The night ...tagged out. 
The morning... a flurry of add ons.  
One for 07:30 in Santa Barbara. I called an affiliate to get it covered, and took the guy off a ride he was doing...then I covered that ride.
Then res agent called, to cancel the ride in SBA, because it was a dupe of an existing ride we had, that had been assigned to a local affiliate there.
And my associate, KW  had LOOKED at the existing ride, 2 hours earlier, and might have noticed that the new ride was a duplicate.
But no.
Fucking idiot.
So I had to call the affiliate and cancel, leaving him with nothing, since I had already reassigned the job that he had.  

I hate this job, and having to depend on information I get from a bunch of morons.

23:30 Merry called, after a long evening/night of driving around, from home to south LB (pickup #2), home (pick up Stitch and me), my work,  CoH,  home, HB to pick up #4, then local pharmacy, and home.....   
    She started by saying that ... the door was left open, so DonnaDawg had been in our room...  making a major mess.
 I asked, rather sarcastically, if She wanted me to come home and 'take care of it'.
Well, no, she said. 
And I went on,  "Why tell me about it, or anything that I can't do a fucking damn thing about?  Wait until the morning, when we're on the way home, if you really want to tell me about it, I just don't want to hear about it right now."
With that, She said, "Good night," as did I.

Yes, I was ... cold, mean, things like that. I don't know why.   
I'm just ...generally unhappy.   

Five full days, no boot.

Okay, this settles it.  Never again.

28 February, Sunday Diary

19:30 One dispatcher off work, I moved from the small room to the big one...
THree of us sat around from 1930 to 2130....
Then it blew up.
 My prime associate got locked into an idiotic reservations call from 22:15 to  23:00 or so.... for rides not occurring until Tuesday and later....  
 .....

I really do get this.

27 FEbruary, Saturday, Diary (no boot)

00:05  up to pee, and snack
03:00  up to pee
06:00 awake ?
07:45 awake...
 and  well  sexual intercourse.
  I stopped when it appeared she had a couple of good ones.
She almost immediately put on her mask, to go to sleep.
UP...
fed 'em all, heated up old coffee
changed to outside clothes.
Stitch was getting ready also.
We both went outside...him to start cleaning up the mess I made yesterday, me to start on a new mess.
I finished whipping the outer yard.
I started trimming down the Sticky bushes...not roses....  red blooms ..very thorny...name starts with a B? ...total of  three bushes, two of them small, one BIG ..whose thorny branches grow over the sidewalk....
She came out.. and started directing how she wanted the remnants of the white picket fence during that last slamming wind storm ...put away.
So Stitch and I did that.
She went in.
I finished bush trimming.
Stitch helped me with the clean up.
I helped him move some sections of fence to the particular side of the house that Merry wanted it.
11:00 I went in and collapsed in a chair.
12:30 finally was able to get up and shower and dress.
   Began starting and restarting my up to now long unused laptop...
Eventually we went into the bedroom.
She was very unhappy about something that happened a couple weeks ago... when I spoke badly to her ...and something happened to remind her of it....so she was so upset she couldn't talk about it, so she sent me texts about it.
I offered her 'something to help her feel better, but I couldn't say it directly myself'
She figured it out, and sat on the bed, upright, legs extended, holding the pink studdy paddle, and 'invited me over her lap.
I went...she took down the grey tight tights I wore, and she applied a number of good strokes to each cheek.

We watched "Suits" ... "Criminal Minds"
Got up and dressed and went out, to the 99C store, then the Dollar Tree...returned home...
Watched "Code Black"  and "The Big Bang Theory"...
She went to start dinner.
I watched  "Scorpion"
then went out to the living room..to test my laptop..
Found it so ....COOPERATIVE, than THIS makes FOUR days worth of Diaries that I've input in very little time. 
Wow. ..............(in reference to this laptop...)

Back into BR1
Watched "Comic Book Men"
Dinner:  beef stew and chips.
Watched the finale of "The X Files."
Merry joined me, watched "Life in Pieces".
23:20 A-sleeping.

A long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away:

Up showered and dressed...
Suggestively went, naked, to BR2...and laid face down prone on the bed...
Sunshine came in and applied small hairbrush, paddle, cane, paddle, and tawse to my bottom...
Then took a few pictures.
I moved to BR1 and lay down..still naked... trying to convince Dick to come to attention. If so I would have told Sunshine, who was at the computer desk to 'have Merry' come into the bedroom.
No go.
So, we got dressed, and went to the car.
First, 'my bank' to withdraw my paycheck money.
Then the Von's center, with a WF inside, where she deposited it, while I got an iced coffee...then next door to a BR ..she wanted ice cream.
THen a 7-11 for e-cig filters.   I'm not 'out' but I don't think it'll be long. Better now than on the way to work Sunday.
15:00 home.
Then fun with the dryer,  as Sunshine went out, and suddenly decided to take apart the lint trap.   I brought to her a flashlight, and a Phillips...and after she took it apart, I put it back together.
Inside..
 Watched  "CSI Cyber",  "Major Crimes"  "Rizzoli and Isles"...
took a nap

I ran to the toilet, Sunshine stripped the sheet and mattress cover and took 'em out to the washer.
.....  We put some quilt on the bed to sleep on,  and
2315  sleep.


This speaks to my personal hatred for mac and cheese.


I think this is what Merry likes about me:

I'll add this here, ONLY because Merry is familiar with the artist:

16 February Tuesday Diary (114)

at work:
Rather calm and quiet considered the Grammy's just finished.
First major event/show I've worked the overnight shift on one of the following did NOT happen:
 1. SOme client at some party could not find their driver, or the driver wouldn't answer his phone ...
  2.  Some driver lost his client, had not contact with 'em for hours, did not know what to do.
SO
  watched The NewsRoom  2: 1,2, 7, 8.
Called Merry, 5:20 or so
Morning hell was breaking loose. We had to farm multiple rides, and every farm job generates more phone calls and multiplies the ways for things to go wrong.
So I was not altogether ready to go when She arrived for me.
6:23 out.
6:28 in car,   7:12 home.
Fed the animals....
MDM:  3 pieces o' chicken: thighs; 4 warmed and buttered tortillas, chips.
We watched TRMS from Monday...  as She dozed off.
It ended, I tried to sleep also.  
I acquired one of those spontaneous erections,  the kind that occur without physical or mental stimulation on my part.
She happened to reach over with Her left hand...and 'found' it.
So, we got busy.  
After removal of unnecessary clothing,  She got on me, female superior. I lay still, the way She prefers me to in this position,  and She humped herself.  In a few minutes,  I took Her left breast in my mouth, while squeezing her right breast in my left hand.
She moaned in numerous climaxes, then rolled over for me to get on top.
And pulled down a towel to put under Her buttocks to keep the bed from getting TOO wet.
We got busy.
We, um, both 'got off'.

I tried to go to sleep.
She got up, got herself ready, got Babyman to get up, as he had an 11:00 apptment at H-Kaiser.
They left....
I closed my eyes but my monkey mind would not shut up.
I think I was drifting, when I heard a text on my phone,  one which Merry had sent me, and later said, She did not 'mean' to press 'send'.
...Got up to pee.
I think I got to sleep, just before noon.

Alarm 17:30.
I thought about stalling to 18:00, and then thought, "what's the point."   84 degrees in the bedroom.
I went to the other bedroom, found Her stretched out.  
"Um, whatcha doing?"
"Too hot in the other bedroom," She said.
    Valid point.
Showered, dressed.....
Just two of us went to the car...
  After dropping me, She was going to a Munch to meet up with HLB, among others, and give HLB a ride home at the end of it.
18:10 in car
19:13 at work
19:17 'in'.

Working, mostly, through the night.  
Babysitting the late rides. 
Not much to do for tomorrow, only 79 rides.



Here's today's  "WORD!"

  Count for Monday  127,  65 farmed out.
  Tuesday start  129,  39 farmed already.
  And HERE we go.....

Meanwhile:


Just ... funny.


Below:
Fantasy provoking:
 What if:
  I had married young...  a bit of a submissive.... I knew I liked the idea of being spanked by a woman, such as my wife... but I had never talked about it... but she knew, anyway...  and alone on our wedding night, she bestows upon me a gift...

14 February, Sunday Diary (112)

01:30 up to pee, get some chocolate squares...
04:45 awake, trying to go back to sleep, not doing it very well.
I was snuggling up to Merry.  She was topless, with red stretch panties. 
I pulled her left hand back to my crotch to let her know what was happening there.
She turned over, and uh, went down on it briefly, then lay back flat, and I got up and took hers down, and licked briefly between her legs...that's all she allowed, before pulling me up, in a hurry.
I pulled my briefs down, off one leg and mounted her.
The ol in out in out lasted...  10 minutes?  15...?
And I heard her moans of ...pleasure and climax, then had my own.
I got off her, and she jumped up to go sit on the porto potty.

Sleep was still not happening, so we got coffee.
And watched "The Newsroom  1:3, 4, 5."
Took some alka seltzer.
She made french toast for the other two, cinnamon gluten-free toast for me.
I tried to go back to sleep 1145.
Got up 1215,  to throw up and poop.
Stomach kinda settled, kinda dozed until 13:45.
And up...   toilet a few more times...showered, dressed... made coffee to go...

Car with Merry and Babyman,  1:30
At work 15:30,  'in' 15:36.

Not muchuva Sunday,  88 rides,  but 15 of them on the PM side devoted to Clive Davis' annual Grammy party.
117 Rides for Monday, some 20 going to the Grammy's.

It's so hard to get good help.
Concierge at the one major hotel we do work for called, at 1845, asking,"Can we get a car and driver at  2045?'
'Sure,' and I connected her to a res agent.
The order appeared on my screen for 20:00.
Surprised, I called her back.  "8 o'clock?"
"No,' she said, "8:45".
"Okay," I said, and fixed it, cursing at the idiot under my breath.

Ooh. Found this on Tumblr.

13 February, Saturday, ( 111 )

01:00 awake, watched 'The Muppets'
  followed by female comedians, Amy .. then Whitney.
04:00 back to sleep
11:00 up for coffee; fed the cats... emptied the chamber pot, scooped the litter box...  looked at email...
13:00 showered n dressed.
13:52 in car with Merry to run errands.
  Started at 'my' bank.  Could not find my ATM card.  Wrote a check so that Sunshine could go in, get cash.  
She quickly came back out to ask if an $8 service charge would be okay. Well, what the fuck, yes.
She went back in, was gone long enough, that I finally decided to go in after her. ..as she/Merry was coming out, and said,  "3 forms of ID, bank manager, go to the vault...etc etc..."  jeez.
Then to Von's, with an inside WellsFargo to deposit it.
I wanted to go in, also, to use the Starbucks card in my wallet.  
She went running off way ahead of me, which is a HUGE button for me, and I said something in an angry tone to Her about it, then went to stand in the Starbucks line.  
3 women working the kiosk, two people ahead of me, and still took way too long.
Finally, off to 'their' bank to make our house payment.
Which was closed.  Somebody forgot that their bank closes at 14:00 on Saturdays.
We knew we needed gas.... and the Arco on South street was definitely cheap enough, and we pulled in.
Then to the 99C store.  I wanted cards for my Dads's, and my ex-g/f's.. birthday.... etc.
AND a 7-11, for E-cig filters. I've been out since  late Tuesday night.
And home...long enough for me to use the toilet.. and get Stitch and Babyman in the car, and off we went to Far Golden Corral.
Far GC is about 27 miles, Near GC is about 5.  We only go to the Far one because they have a white chocolate fountain.
We arrived...and got in the line ..at 16:39, and were inside at 17:30.
The white chocolate fountain was non-operational for the night.
Out 1834, and headed home.
We were listening to the Rep. debate on the radio..
And my Dad called.  So we turned off the radio, while I talked to him for about 20 minutes.
Radio back on,  home about 19:20.
ANd we watched the last of the Debate...  til about 20:00.
Surfed for somethin' else.
Saw that 'Guardians of the Galaxy' was just starting, so we watched that for the ... 9th? time.
Then saw that 'The Bone Collector' was just starting, which I'd seen twice, and Merry not at all, so we watched that...

08 Feb., Monday: Diary (106...)

at work
New guy...'hybrid  res-agent/dispatch' started at 01:00.  
Hardly said a work, went about the business of work ...cleaning up reservations, checking email....  answered phones, when we started getting bombed with nonsense, around 04:00.

Called Merry ... 0515 or so.
DB/supervisor was morning dispatcher, as regular guy had a long SuperBowl weekend off...
We got a chance to discuss the possibility that the other overnight guy who was out all last week, might be out again.
Would I cover some...?  Sure.

6:20 out
6:24  in car
7:09 home

Fed the animals.
Took the accumulated newspapers out to the recycling bin that was on the curb.
Scooped the litter box, in BR1.
While Merry started on MDM.
Changed clothes.
Finally prep on MDM, leftover beef stew, and a bag of veggy chips that somebody had left in the office.
IN BR1, watched "The Circus..."
08:10 sleep
09:30 up, to pee
13:00 up again, Merry was asleep.
17:00 alarm,  17:30 up.
Showered, dressed, ready....
Car 18:15 ...
Stop for gas.
19:14 at work, 1920 in.
 Slow night, last scheduled job was like 2200.  
Not much of a morning, only three jobs farmed out.  
92  for the day, much of which is for American Idol, which means a lot of asap changes and stupidity forthcoming.

A conversation with Merry, who called in around midnight  (shortly after, but I wanted to get it on THIS entry).
She read my diary from yesterday... and said, "I hope to get some sleep, and I'll be able to ...discipline you in the morning, if you're interested."
I said, "We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Quite frankly, I've become more than just a little bit hesitant to talk about 'it'.

Sunday Feb. 7th, Diary, 105 days

03:00 awake.... watched Oz 6: 5, 6, 7, 8.  Done with Oz.
08:30 sleep.
15:20 awake, to watch the Super Bowl.
18:15 up to shower and dress and make coffee and get ready.
18:55 in car, listening to the last minutes of the game on the radio, with Merry and Stitch.
Stopped for e-cig filters.
19:31 at work,  19:38 'in'.

My usual Sunday side kick, KW, had called out due to family issues.  I had to snort. On Super Bowl Sunday?  Hmm.
So JL came in to cover, until I got here, and FT, who is usually off at 19:30, stayed until 21:00.
The day guy, SW, had only done next day's set up through about 10:00 (at my instructions given to him the previous Thursday) so I had a lot to do, finishing the morning, and setting up the p.m.  
Not a lot of work to deal with (99 on Sunday,  116 for Monday) but ... a lot to do.
Not ALL that much to do, as evidenced by me, having the time to input four days worth of diaries between 2300 and 2330.
It would be 'nice' to have someone here so I can get to the toilet
BUT our new hybrid guy, whom I'll call 'A' because I don't yet know his last name ... starts tonight,  at 01:00, working from then to 06:00.  I gather, that will be his schedule Monday -- Friday.
I expect there's very little of that time, that I will be saying, "Gosh I'm glad you're here..."
Except starting around 04:45 and on to 5:30 or so, during the period our regular morning res-agent is SUPPOSED to be here, but never manages to get to work on time.
We shall see.

Ya know:
I am positive that Merry would agree.

February 3rd, Wednesday, Diary (101 days)

at work
Watched OZ 4:10, 11
Called Merry for a wakeup.
She fell back asleep, and did not get rolling from the house til 5:55.
OUT 6:41.
Car 6:47
I'd dropped at least one hint recently that I was about ready to get back into 'play'
She suggested doing 'something' once we got home... if I was in the mood, and not angry about her being so late.
I said, I'll decide when we get home.
7:34 home.
..Fed the dogs and cats.
She put together MDM (chicken n rice) in a bowl in the microwave, ready to heat up.
She asked, "Can I go back to bed now?"
I said, "I'm thinking, I'll change clothes, and ...meet you in the other bedroom?" ... wanting a bedroom less occupied by, well, cats.
"Sure," she said.
I changed to long sleep top,  briefs, pajama bottom, and went to the other bedroom.
She was ready...wearing her winter coat over her long sleeve footy jammies...   damn, it's been cold in our house this winter.
She pointed at the bed...with the long bath brush in her hand, and said, "FDAU."
I took down, and off, my bottoms and briefs, and got on the bed, face down and ass up.
She stood behind me, and said, "Count."
One swat landed on my left cheek and I moaned, "One..." then another swat on my right cheeks, and I moaned, "Two." 
"No, that's ONE," she corrected.
So, as matching swats landing on each cheek, I counted off, TWO..THREE...FOUR...
  as I winced and grunted in some pain.
She stopped at twenty, and fetched a baby wipe, and wiped down my cheeks, as she likes the color that it brings out on my buttocks.
Then she said, "Count," and applied another fifteen swats to each cheeks.
"Done for now," she said, putting away the brush.
I stretched out, flat, prone face down on the bed, gasping and resting.
She picked up the leather tawse, and applied two strokes to my bottom.
"I didn't want you to forget the taste of leather," she said, chuckling, and put the tawse away.  "Can I go back to bed now?"
"Um, sure,"  I said, getting up to dress, on very weak legs.
She steadied me and grinned. "Got a little subspace going there?"
"A little," I said, smiling.
Once I stabilized myself, and dressed, she went into our bedroom to get under the covers, and I went to the kitchen, to put together MDM.
Then I went to BR1, grabbed the remote, and we watched "TRMS" from Tuesday night.
She fell asleep during.
0900, sleep for me.
10:30 awake, to pee, get some candy.
13:00 awakened by barking dogs, as Merry had been outside, dealing with a car-windshield-replacer.  
  ...So, pee, and warmed up a couple tortillas.
Back to sleep.
17:15 up and moving, while Merry was sound asleep.
I sent a text to DB, to check on my coming schedule.
 He replied that I was working tonight.... and  Sunday night.
Showered...dressed....
Merry got up and dressed....
1815 three of us in car.
1917 At work.
Very quiet night...all the work 'out'.
Some morning add ons that just came in, but easy enough to quickly outsource.
So, I spent most of the evening posting tumblr blogs,  mostly of screen caps taken from our numerous video clips.
And, I read a blog entry that Merry had posted, earlier in the afternoon.
  She wrote, in so many words, that she did not enjoy the morning session, so much as she just wanted to go back to sleep.
 Well....

February 2nd, Tuesday Diary (100 day)

at work
Watched Oz, 4: 7, 8, 9
Called Merry to come n get me
Out 6:33
Car 6:40
Took a different route home, following the suggest of Waze.
Southbound 110...and Merry missed the interchange to the 91 East.
Had to get off at 190th and drive around.
But managed to find cheap gas, right next to the on ramp we were going to use. Found out that Arco, or THIS Arco, sells the e-cig refills I use, also.
Home, 7:47   with Sunshine.
Fed dogs n cats.
Prepped MDM,  leftover chicken from last night, last of the cheesy potatoes.
In BR1, watched  "Lucifer", while Sunshine fell asleep.
0900, sleep...

1100 awake...

1700 alarm
 1702  Text from my supervisor:  the guy that works the GY shifts that I don't, had called out sick for all of this week (for him Wed--Sat)and wouldn't be able to cover the Sunday that I was supposed to have off as floating holiday.  
  So... I'll be working tomorrow (Wednesday) + one other overnight shift  (I told DB, any of them, just let me know) AND SuperBowl Sunday  ...that I was supposed to be off.
   Mixed emotions.  Really need the money.  Really don't want to work all that much/hard to get it.  Oh well.
1730 UP... to hear Merry said that #1 was at the house...had stacked up the broken down fences and put 'em up against the porch.
She spoke with him long enough to collect a whopping $25.
We got all of $50 from him during December, nothing in January, and now $25.
  This is aggravating the SHIT out of me ....  his non-payment of any rent, AND he's had the free use of my car for 3 months.
Merry made up a new agreement between us and him, and took it to him...and he didn't have time, he said, to look at it.
Three of us in car 18:22
Work 19:13.
Wrapping up an "American Idol" filming, going on, downtown, so ...busy enough.  
  One new-ish driver dropped his car at base at 18:30, and said, he would not start as early as 7 a.m., nothing earlier than 9.  Fucking whiner.
 Another one...first job was today 13:30. Finished a second job at LAX at 20:00. Said he was 'too tired' to due an arrival at 21:00. I mean, what the fuck..;..
 Another driver was assigned to a morning pickup for a well known actress, JLC,  but this actress strongly requests our chauffeur  LP.  
 Day dispatch prolly shoulda made that assignment, but did not...
 LP got involved with the driver manager...so I had to change the fuckin assignment.  
  The driver that WAS assigned did not check the email for his changes, so he came to base thinking he had a job at 06:45, but instead has one at 08:10.     Well, I tell the drivers, time and again, CALL ME in the morning before coming to base, and ask if there are any changes in assignments.    Wasting my breath.
