So i think i had one of them epiphanys that everyone is so fond of having on a regular basis.

I suddenly realized my double standards when it comes to slander speach. Now most of yall know i support my buds useing the word fag. Cause i belive if you own a word, it doesnt hurt you. WELL GUESS WHO WAS 100% wrong....

This morning on a floor i floated too, with nurses im rather fond of. I was attempting to let a nuse know about a blood glucose level that was a smidge too high. Well guess what i hear one of the day nurses say.....

"so the guy in *** is he still here? That fag is still here?"

So insted of relaying what i wanted to tell the nurse, i bombed away from the desk, seething, RIPPED. And proceded to bitch to Molly about how offensive that was, and how thats a shitty attitude for a nurse to have and ect.

Well befor i left. Insted of reporting her. I went right up to her and said

me: excuse me. I cant but help belive i over heard you use the word fag when refering to the patient in room ***
her: What....?
me: When refering to the patient in room *** you used the word fag.....
her: yeah and?
me: Well i wanted to inform you, I AM ONE, and i have never been so offended in my life.
her: OHHHHHHHHHHHHH oh no i didnt mean it what way, i ment like ya know? fag like whimpy and weak!
me:............*your kidding me right......*
Her: yeah thats what i ment, ya know! like i have guys friends both men and women.
me: YEah thats nice but seriously next time you need to be aware of what you say, because thats not acceptable speach.
her: Ok YEAH!
me:.......*how old are you lady.....your in your fucking 40s! YOUR NOT 13!!!!!*

ok seriously, i could have reported her to her manager since she was right there. but imo her manager is a moron.....i could have went right downstairs to my manager and reported her, and charline woulda probably reamed her a new one.

but i didnt. I tryed to be the polite patrol. because yes. its a word, yes it shouldnt offend me, expecaly if i use it. but i dont know? this is a place of work. To say something like that at a nurses station. at 730 am! when doctors are around, patients are awake, and visitors could be comming in. ITs not acceptable. its downright disgusting. and the oh i have gay friends, and i didnt mean it like that.

THEN HOW THE FUCK DID YOU MEAN IT. YOU USED A WORD THAT MEANS TWO THINGS. CIGERETTE AND A HOMOSEXUAL SLANDER! YOUR NOT FUCKING BRITISH *cause yes i work with a few brits and they do use that word and its ok cause THEY ARE BRITS! and they are refering to smokeing every time they say it*

i Mean seriously. if i want to say lamp but i say turn the hammer on......WTF! SAY WHAT YOU MEAN! this double meaning bullshit, it pisses me off, it allows for disgusting slander to become commonplace at work. and at work, INAPROPREATE AND OUT OF LINE!*to quote a very gay man*

its sad but im still angry about it. just cause that answer is not acceptable. ITS NOT! i swear, and i highly doubt shell stop useing the word. I know one thing, if this happens again. i dont care if fiona is my manager by then, and i dont care if charline only works prat 5. Im gonna go get the dam womans name, and im reporting her right quick.

it just pisses me off more so, that im upset, since i use it. And i shouldnt treat this like the N word debate. That only we can use the word. I HATE THE AMERICAN LANGUAGE!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS IT IM SPEAKING SWEEDISH FROM NOW ON!
