MUST CONTROL FIST OF DEATH!

Why is it that folks feel the need to go about and poke me with a stick these days? Most recently it was the low boy on the totem pole in the automation department. He calls on the buildings unlisted number. I answer the phone�hello? And he proceeds to jump my shit.

Little Shit Monkey (LSM) �Is that how you are supposed to answer the phone there?�

BB �Well SIR, it is our unlisted number, and I would certainly hope that you knew who you were calling.�

LSM �Well you should know better�do you know why we call this number? Because you people will not answer the regular phone!�

BB �That is because we do not open until 10:00 am. If I were to answer the phone every time it rang, I might as well open this branch at 8:00 am when I get here.�

LSM �That is no excuse! You know better than that. NOW�Is there anyone there?�

BB (who is getting very irritated with his tone of voice and accusatory statements) �No.�

LSM �Well your answering the phone, correct? So there must be SOMEONE there.�

BB �Oh�I�m sorry, Yes.�

LSM �Yes what?�

BB �Yes there is someone here.�

LSM �Well I am on my way over there, so you had best make sure you are there to let me in. I don�t want to drive all the way there only to have to sit around till someone shows up!�

BB �Sure��

LSM �Sure what?�

BB sigh��Sure you don�t want to have to wait around till someone shows up.�

LSM �What? What are you trying to say? Are you insinuating that I want to just sit around and not do my job?�

BB �Look buddy�First off. You will not talk to me like I am some fool who doesn�t know his ass from a hole in the ground. Second�you need to learn respect for those folks who are over you in this system. You are a hardware jockey and that is it, you are not my supervisor�in fact you are not even my co-worker�so step back and try to show a little bit of professionalism. Third�if you EVER try and jump my shit like that again�If you EVER speak to me like that again�I will not be quite so reserved and polite, and I will make sure that you and I are standing in front of the Director SO fast it will make your head spin bubba�You clear on that?�

LSM �er�sputter�yeah�sor��

BB �Good. I expect to see you here in no more than 15 minutes. I know how long it takes to drive over here, and I will not sit around here waiting for you to come knocking at my door. I have work to do�This conversation is now over.�

Amazing how brassy and carefree you can be when you know that you have very few days left working at a place. And get this�when he gets here, he is all smiles and hey man, whats up? Grrrrr�what a little fucker.


Yesterday was another day at the gym. I have begun a love hate relationship with the elliptical torture device. I am up to 20 minutes on the cursed thing, but I still feel like it is winning this fight. I get off of it and feel like I have had my ass kicked about for the last 2 hours, while it just sits there in all it�s shiny glory�waiting for me to have another go at it. 5 minutes with it at the forge�that is all I ask for. I�ll show it who is a hard core bad ass.


You cannot imagine how bummed I was when I woke up this morning to find that the EVIL ICY weather that we were supposed to get last night had not occurred. I was really looking forward to having a day off today. I dunno�perhaps I have lost all sense of professionalism�but I just don�t give a shit about anything here at the library right now except presenting the best damn class I can. Guess that is just my ego getting in the way though. In fact I didn�t even care that the slacker Children�s Specialist came to work and hour late this morning. Oh�speaking of that. Bossman and I had another discussion about firing her yesterday. Ahh�that SO warmed my heart. And the fun thing is�she has no idea it is coming. I am SUCH a BASTARD sometimes. Shame of it is�I will most likely miss seeing her fired. Oh well�just knowing it is going to happen makes all the difference.


Well that is about it for today. My class will be here any second so I had best get a move on. Today I learned that there is such a thing as a Swear Bear. OMG is he ever funny. I am thinking that I need a Swear Bear shirt. Oh and speaking of shirts go to T-Shirt Helland look at some of the shirts that they have there. They are truly�well�I�ll let you decide.

And so�have you learned anything today?
