Work Update II :

All quiet on the "Bitchcraft" front today.

I'm assuming it's because they never see it.

Have a look-ski!

Also, that's about the worst place to keep your old blood clot. Man-junk is notoriously unruly and could easily come untethered, swing forward, and ruin it all. Best to scrape it off over to the side, out of harms way.

Bingo, Hairy.

Fucking bingo.

I put it down as a force of habit...cuz I did have a girl-fiend who'd nagged some. Another girl later expressed an appreciation of that, saying she can tell that I've been trained properly. That made me almost wanna keep the seat up out of spite.

Thing I don't quite get- when approaching the toilet, for whichever action is intended upon it- I tend to be facing it, and can see for myself whether or not the seat is up.

I mean...do you ladies back up to the toilet every time?

Well, I had it out with some of the ladies today. It all started when the figurehead mouthy-broad (whose husband left her for a younger woman and whose two children want nothing to do with her) started gossiping with my boss (who is also a woman) about how silly she thought I was being, how maybe I should just use the alley from now on (to piss), how she had been watching me closely, and that I "never" put the seat down etc... Mindless.

So I go out there and I'm like, "So, I heard you were talking about me". My boss (to me) is like "I don't see why you need to make such a big deal about this, why don't you just put the seat down and let it go etc...". I explained (for the twentieth time in two days) that I consider it ridiculous that men should (under duress, in this case) put the seat down when no one ever even entertains the idea of women leaving the seat up. And also that it's only fair if everyone uses the toilet seat as needed. That way, no one has any valid reason for resentment. I also took this opportunity to tell the mouthy broad that I'm not there make friends with anyone, instead I'm there to make money. That seemed to shut her up.

Next up, the woman who originally asked me to put the seat down yesterday requests a private talk with me. She overheard my conversation with the other two and now she's pissed. She starts by saying that she considers it a matter of respect to leave the seat down. I tell her that that is only an opinion, and that there's absolutely no workplace rule or law to that effect. I then state that there would be a lot more respect involved if everyone was allowed to do what works for them as regards the toilet seat. That doesn't go over too well. She picks up some paper trash and throws it on the floor. Then she says (tears starting to well-up in her eyes), " See, this is like what you have done, and then you just walk away like you don't care !". I say,"No, that would be more like me not flushing the toilet. And I always do." She goes on a bit more about 'no respect'. And I go on a bit more about that being her opinion. All the while, I actually get the impression she wants to hit me. After all that bad noise, she just walks away saying, "Well, I can see what your opinion is !"

Huh?

She secretly wants to have sex with you.

And I want to have sex with her. I would much prefer to be thought of as an asshole who stands his ground rather than as a nice guy. I tried the latter and it wasn't working out. No sex that way, see.

i voted crap, but the upside is that it reminds me to clean the toilet. so, waffles.

You have to think of stumbling into the bathroom half-asleep at 3 in the morning, and not wanting to blind yourself by turning on the light -- or alternatively, being blinded by turning on the light -- and not being able to see what's going on with the seat.



Personally, I can't stand having the lid of the toilet up. I put it down every time I use it, and if I see it up when passing the bathroom, I put it down. But somehow, I've never felt the need to complain about the lid being left up, or to try to "train" my wife or any other person I've lived with to put it down.

Work Update III :

This morning, I go to dispose of the multiple return-bags of empty, used pill wrappers (I drive for a pharmacy) only to discover that some of the bags I brought back last work-day have been tossed on the floor instead of in the recycling bin where they belong. Not 5 seconds later, the mouthy broad (whose job it is to sort through the return stuff) comes up to me to make some kind of out-of-character pseudo-friendly chit-chat. I don't fall for it, of course, and I ask her why this shit is all over the floor when I had properly put it all in a large garbage bag (which IS in the recycling bin like it should be). Right then, she affects this innocent little-girl demeanour complete with a look of 'Oh my, what ever could this be ? This is REALLY TERRIBLE, isn't it?etc..'. Obviously, she's not coming clean on this. I just say, "I don't think we're going to reach any conclusions about who did this, so we'll just have to move on". She's all "Oh...yes, I guess that's what we'll have to do, you sure are right about that etc..."

I then find my manager and tell her that, unfortunately, I need to have another meeting with her ASAP about what's just happened and some other related things.

We go into her office and I tell her what I think is going on. My boss is all like, "Oh no, she (the mouthy broad) would never do that, I WAS WITH HER ALL MORNING" (!!!!) I'm thinking, "Oh fuck, my boss is even in on this shit ! I'm doomed."
I then inform her that letting the mouthy broad gossip and shit-talk another employee (me) openly and brazenly when I'm in earshot (no less) is probably, yes quite probably against every labor code in the Western World. Thankfully, she agrees. I tell her that, personally, the mouthy broad's behavior is not remotely acceptable and that I'm very disappointed my boss would stand there and let the mouthy broad go on like she did. Thankfully and rightfully, my boss eats the shit on that and we're on to the next thing...

She then asks what happened between me and the girl who originally asked me to put the toilet seat down (see last paragraph of the first Work Update). Did I initiate the argument ? I tell her no. Did you shout at her ? No. What did she do and say? I tell her what she did and said, and mention how she was emotionally out of control and about how, at some points, it looked like she was going to physically assault me.

Sensing the end of the meeting, I tell my boss that, although I harbour no ill-will toward this girl, I still consider her behavior to be out of line (boss agrees) and how it's very important that everyone in our workplace can separate beliefs and emotions from actual reality. Boss agrees and I walk out feeling ten pounds lighter (probably because that's about how much shit I just dumped back on to those two God-forsaken estro-vipers !)

Thanks for reading.
