I went off today !!!

[zippyt]

Yes I went off on some one today .
My day started early 6am , to the shop 2 hrs away , 2-3 hours of bench repairs and upgrades then 3+hr drive to a job ( i crossed 5 state lines today , and my odometer roller over 500 miles , company pick up and company gas card ) , simple job , software up grade , it didn't go as well as planned but it will work untill the programmer can un-fuck his shit . So I have a 5+ hr drive home , as I was passing thru a largeish town I saw a mall , I figured " well I can streach my legs and get some food " . So a large order of fried shrimp rice later i was leaveing the mall . There was this skinny chick and dude that both looked like they had fallen face first into a tackle box ( hoops , rings , chains , all kinds of shit in and on their faces ) , as i walked by I just shook my head , I didn't say a DAMN thing !!!!!! Well chicklet desided I was dissing her and spoke up " WHAT THE FUCK 'YOU LOOKING AT , MOTHER FUCKER ??????" , all puffed out cheast and waggin head like . I spun on my heels and in my best drill instructer voice ( as i puffed out my cheast and advanced on her ) said " I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIGUER OUT HOW MANY CHAINS IT TAKES YOUR BULL DYKE TO TIE YOU DOWN INTO POSITION EVERY NITE !!!!!!!!!"
She got all tiery eyed and her bottom lip got all wiggley , I looked at dude , he just flashed me a peace sign . I about faced and walked off .

I normaley don't do stuff like this , but I guess she just cought me at the wrong time with the wrong tone in her voice .

That was my tuesday , how was yours ???

Not much better. I'm having severe anger management problems myself. I've discovered that someone, supposedly one of my nearest and dearest, defrauded me of at least $7,000 that I need for my rent and utilities - little impulse purchases like that - and I am truely enraged. When I first figured out what was going on, I thought the sum was half that amount, and I got them to sign a repayment agreement for $3,500. Now, new evidence shows it was actually double that sum or more, and I bet anything they're going to dance out of repaying the real amount that they stole by waving the repayment agreement for $3,500 in the face of the courts and singing, "See! That's all she said I owed!" GRRRRRR! Death is too good for some people, but all I can do is hope karma will get 'em in the end!

I didn't actually get pissed on today, but I had to interview a man that had been laying in his own urine and excrement since last Thursday ... other than that, my shift was stupidly busy but fairly uneventful.

Er, Wolf. Isn't leaving someone laying in their excremet for 5 days abusive? What was he, a new intake?

God, Zippy. That was a real asshole thing to do. I like your posts, and you always seemed cool, but the way you acted wasn't cool at all.

It WAS disrespectful of you to shake your head at those people just because they choose to pierce themselves. She had good reason to get offended- you don't need to SAY anything if you're giving someone the headshake of disapproval just because they're different.

Granted, she didn't have to flip out on you, she could've been a bigger person...
But I understand why she did.

Ya gotta accept people, you know? Leave them alone. Bad boy. Sit.

MY day?
Well, I wasted $65 on a private training consultation for my dog who is attacking my husband every morning when he tries to kiss me goodbye.

The trainer threw treats at her face for an hour and talked in a high pitched voice. She attacked him 3 or 4 times.
He told me not to say "no" to my dog.

I'm not into all that clicker training, treat bribing, ass kissing dog training. She'll stop growling because I said so, damn it. I started keeping a leash on her in the house and giving it a quick tug and a "no!" when she growls. Then I praise her when she's calm and nice. MY way works.
God damn waste of money...

He had been trying very hard to drink himself to death. He didn't try hard enough, and merely drank himself into incontinence.

I am clearly in the wrong business.

Pet psychics do pretty well down here ... $100-200 per consultation. One of my coworkers who has gone crazy but still continues to work paid one to talk to her pet pig. (I maintained that the animal was a hog, because she weighed 300 pounds ... the pig, not the nurse) The pet psychic informed her that the pig felt put-out that other people regarded her as a pig and she didn't like that, and she didn't have enough variety of toys to play with.

Cha-ching.

I can do that.

I disagree. If someone choses to express themselves by stapling themselves into a state of social dissonance then they should not take offense when someone else choses to express themselves by simply shaking their head.

No where, to my knowledge, is respect a requirement, especially in America. What is there to respect about carrying five pounds of stainless steel around without your hands? The urge for uniqueness is understandable, but it in no way requires me to respect it other than to not shoot people for it. Anything short of infringing on their rights is free game.

No, she didn't. She expressed herself, he expressed himself. He just did it better. He just did it better. Excessive piercings is just passive-aggressive rebellion. Everybody starts out, and ends up different, there's no need to shout out the fact that you have low self esteem.

We've already established that she isn't by virtue of the fact that she uses something as mundane, and duplicatable, as piercings to express her individuality.

Say it with me now, "Come be different, like us!"

I understand why she did it as well, but I am under no compulsion to accept her behavior. Nor am I required to. If she feels the need to require my respect then she is missing out on the concept that she is then required to respect me. Her piercings scream louder than his passing head shake. Her piercings show a greater disrespect for the current cultural consensus than his head shake shows for one person.

You probably could have passed on the head shake, Zip. But once she opened her mouth, she was fair game.

Pretty good for the most part. Our electricity was out for half the day, but I slept through most of it. April came over after work and we looked at retarded high school pictures of each of us and our friends. Then we went to dinner and Tim (my brother) joined us later for a couple of beers.

Hope your day ended on a good note, man.

Put simply, if you don't want the attention, either good or bad, don't do something to yourself, such as massive piercing, that will DRAW attention. If you think that you can look like you fell into a tackle box (good one, zippy), and NOT draw attention, you need to be sterilized so that the stupidity in your genes will not be passed on.

There's nothing that annoys me more than someone with a million piercings who has the gall to say, "what are YOU looking at?" When someone looks at them. If you don't want the stares, don't give people something to stare at. It's a natural reaction people have, to stare at something they find unusual, interesting, or strange.

[cowhead]

I can't say shit on either side.. in '85 I had a mo-hawk and my ears peirced.. and yes.. I expected people to look at me and wonder WTF? then again I was trying to be an element of social change.. or so I thought of myself... ah the stories! but yeah I have to agree that if you're going to walk around with facial mutilations.. someone has the right to look at you and do the head shake.. especially if you don't have the verbal skills to prove your 'humanity'... wow I just wondered into a world of shit didn't I?

[wolf]

Response ... "I can't imagine that you spent all that money in hopes that no one would ever look at you again."

Ah, so. That must have been a very entertaining interview, a drunk with a wet brain and a wet bottom. Lucky you!

[plthijinx]

damn zip, i just now read your post even though you gave me a heads-up yesterday! fallen face first into a tackle box, lmao! that's a good one! i have to agree with TS and LadyS, if you don't want the attention, don't draw attention.

my Tues. wasn't too bad actually. i had previously qualified into a week long texas hold'em tournament that's put on by the amature poker league that's giving away tickets on a bus charter for august 5th or 6th. anyway i placed 3rd out of 50ish to squeek in and get my 2 tickets. next week we play for casino cash to which ever casino we bus to. 1st - $200, 2nd - $100 and third $50.
