It is at this time I would like to retract any kind comment said in yesterdays post about Jeorge the other lowely host. For many years, those who know me know, I was like a hermit. I simply did not let people close to me. If they got too close I pushed them away. It was as if I could be standing right next to someone and they would seem a million miles away. For the last year or so I have tried to do the opposite, let people close, not be so distant however today I discovered just why I once was the way I was.
The thesis-People Are Fucking Assholes. I shall use events from today to support my thesis. Jeorge likes to trash talk. I questioned as to whether Jeorge would be able to trash talk with my fist lodged in his mouth however better sense got the best of me. (It happens).
Lets's fast forward to make a long story short....
It raineth in the city of angels. ErectusIncapleOfThoughtus (The Scientific name for Jeorge) come up with the idea of holding people's unbrellas at the host stand. So he finds a trash can and has the guest dump the umbrellas in this can. He then writes down their name and a short description of the umbrella. It was a good thing not many people would have umbrellas that would fit the description of "Short And Black" because that could get confusing. So then a guest come up and rutro-there umbrella is missing.
"You gave the umbrella to the wrong person." offers Jeorge
"Umm, no, can't say I did there Jeorge. They must have stolen it directly from here or perhaps took the wrong one directly from here."
Jeorge takes down the information from the guest and they leave. Our conversation continues.
"Well where were you?"
"You're not supposed to leave this stand. It wouldn't have happened if you were doing your job."
"Actually Jeorge there are several times a day when I suppose to leave my stand. I couldn't do my job if I didnt leave my stand."
"No, absolutely not"
"Actually Jeorge yes, perhaps you should read your job description. I have"
"Look I have been doing this way longer than you have. "
"Wow. Really? I thought you would be so much better at it by now then."
"Keep talking. You trying to cut me down to size?"
"Heavens no, I thought about it, but then realized if I 'cut you down to size' what would be left small fry."
"If you had been doing..."
"Yes, I've heard this reteric before. I thing we pretty much know we disagree. The system you are using for checking the umbrellas is stupid. We need a number system. Tag the umbrella with the number. Works much better. So the customer says "12" or hands us the other half of the tag and then we know its that umbrella."
"O, and you're just now mentioning this. Why didn't you mention this before"
"I did Jeorge you were too busy listening to the sound of your own voice to realize it. Besides, we dont have the supplies for it now. And I'm tired of listening to your crap, you have one opinion, I have anbother leave it at that."
And bascially that went on for a bit...and that was my 1st.
Yeah, woot.
