Danbert Throws More Pies


Guys, if you we thinking that Danbert stop throwing pies at his supervisors ...


THINK AGAIN!
Here is me finishing throwing a pie at my direct boss Tara (Sorry for the fuzziness of the picture.
I earned this shot because I sold 100 features to customers during the contest.
BUT IT DID NOT END WITH TARA.
Two more supervisors were willing to take more pies to their face. But, it cost some money. The money would be donated to the MISS VIRGINIA HOUSE in FORT WAYNE.
Rather than just one picture, how about a video. And you know that Danbert would offer his advice. EMPLOYERS, LISTEN UP



This is me throwing a pie at Tyrone (Credit Anaylist Senior and Theresa Collections Senior) Thanks to Cariamah for shooting the video while Danbert was throwing the pies!

I wonder if this would end up on YOUTUBE?

The Election and Lake County Dragging everyone's night


Folks, the county shaded in red is Lake County. And if people want someone to thank for ending Hillary Clinton shot at the White House and denied Jim Schellinger a chance to face Mitch Daniels in November in Indianapolis, can thank LAKE COUNTY!
Lake County was not going to report any numbers until around midnight eastern time.
I was watching the returns Tuesday Night. North Carolina went for Obama and Jill Long Thompson had a good lead, watching both Fox News Channel and MSNBC, along with WTHR website for the governors race.
Then as the nights was going on, Schellinger pulled closer to Long-Thompson and Obama was closing the gap to Clinton in Indiana.
THEN 9pm things changed - Schellinger took the lead over Long Thompson and Obama was pulling closer. CBS called the race to Clinton during this time. But no one else, because Lake County was having a problem and they were not going to report the numbers until about 11pm at first.
10pm - Schellinger still leading, Clinton spoke to hear supporters. Now, Lake County was not going to report until Midnight.
Just Before 11pm Clinton was leading 52-48 and Jill Long-Thompson was speaking to her supporters here in Fort Wayne.
At this point, I decided to hit the shack.
Around 1:45am Clinton was called the winner for Indiana, but it was only 51-49. Seems like at those that Long Thompson caught Schellinger and won the election (By 4800 votes)
Lake County could have save the drama, reported their numbers like normal and ended at 11pm last night. BUt thanks to them, a lot of people stayed up until 2am.
Possible Recount ... We shall see!

Indiana's Historical Moment And Danbert wanted to be a part of it


(Disclaimer) Before we begin, these pictures were looked over by the voting place inspector, because the last thing Danbert wants is to have every single vote, including mine, THROWN OUT by the Election Board. So, if a picture even had a slight objection, it was not going to get posted to this blog. So, this one past the snuff test having NO OBJECTIONS!
So with that in mind.
Folks, for the first time in 40 years, people in Indiana will have a voice in deciding a party nominee. And this is a historical moment for Indiana. There was a lot of early voting. This morning, I went to my voting place and it was BUSY! But there was not a real long line as many people believed. Here I am signing in, I had already presented by State ID Card (YES, in the state of Indiana, if you want to vote, you have to show a government ID), signed my name, ask for a ballot (Either Republican or Democrat), after that went to the voting machine, voted, talked to a couple of people and left walking home.
So, to all those in MICHIGAN, FLORIDA and those that moved their primary election to FEB for a MEGA Tuesday Primary... Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are making you look SO STUPID!
To Hillary and Obama, thank you for making Indiana so important now and for spending a couple of million here.
So - Who did I vote for ... As one person would say, THAT IS FOR ME TO KNOW AND FOR YOU TO FIND OUT!
Tune in on Wednesday for my views on the election

Danbert is on Vacation and why all of the hate

First, A little side note before we begin my blog







YES, they got the court repaved and done. Now they will get the lines down, reopen the court and get the cars back in the court.








Now, why all of the hate for Walgreens from Danbert? It is not just that Walgreens fired me 5 days before Christmas. IT is more than that

Remember the big EEOC suit against Walgreens over minority hiring or promotions. It was only a slight problem under Dan Jordt. BUt it became a BIG Problem under David Brunner and Jeff Rein. As a result WALGREENS had to pay $20 Million.

The Walgreens defense: That was their choice and they are not at fault because of this.
I SAY BULL! The problem was there, but if it took a manager to write TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY OF THIS PROBLEM, folks the problem went for being small to HUGE! And the people who should be at fault for making this problem BIG ... DAVID BRUENNER AND JEFF REIN

Another issue - Walgreens fired 4 pharmacists because they decided NOT to fill an abortion drug because of their religion. Not one of these 4 pharmacists have been hired back to Walgreens or found another job
Walgreens Defense - They are complying with State Law and that the drug is approved by the FDA.
I SAY BULL. The Pharmacists did the right thing and Walgreens could have found someone else to fill that drug

That, plus Walgreens firing more great people, promoting bad people, not offering great service, treating people rudely and instead of processing film, they decided that it is better to protect $100K worth of cosmetics.

So, until these people are gone, I will NOT STOP SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THIS COMPANY. So, folks, if you think about shopping at WALGREENS DON'T! Spend your money elsewhere. If you are thinking about working for WALGREENS, DON'T! There are companies out there that treat their employees a lot better, like CVS or even WAL-MART.

To those that want to unionize Wal-mart or even Target, YOU WILL BENEFIT BETTER BY TRYING TO UNIONIZE WALGREENS!

If Walgreens want to get this person back as a customer, here is what must be done
- JEFF REIN GONE
- DAVID BRUNNER GONE
- EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPLACED
- VP OF HUMAN RESOURCES GONE (He is not hiring great people)
- NEW OWNERSHIP
- An Apology to every single person fired for making a bad decision and pay up for every single day that person lost (Plus, Holiday, Vacation, Sick, Stock Options if before 2006, unemployment benefits)

Once everything is done, THEN AND ONLY THEN, will I come back to Walgreens

New Things from Danbert




Yes, the crew is out repairing our court. It has been in disrepair for the past couple of years. There was this pothole about 4 inches deep and at least a foot long.





Thank Goodness my vacation is next week



















Anyway, here is me "throwing" a pie at our department head, recently. Actually I did not throw a pie, I just went up to her, took pie insert into face and REALLY RUBBED IT IN.

Thanks to my fellow Elmhurst Trojan Brook Porter (Class of 1994) for taking one for the team!

This was a reward because I have been selling features out the wazoo for the past couple of weeks. Also was named Top Performer for the 3rd time this year.

MEMO TO ANY BOSS LOOKING TO BOOST MORALE - Show apprentication to your employees and have the guts to take a pie or 4 in the face. (Can't say 4 because the other 2 actually threw a pie)

MEMO TO WALGREENS: How are you feeling now?! You decided back in December 2005 to fire me and this picutre must be your jealously that you could let this person say pie Jeff Rein. But Jeff Rein nor David Breunner would have the guts to get pied!

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!?
