2316: Loser
Today, Kurt Cobain would have been 40 years old. It's still a bit weird thinking I am older than he ever was.
Clueless has graduated to full-fledged hatred tonight. There is too much, let me sum up:
- "no personal belongings in the backroom" policy [AP issue]
- Frizz put me in Domestics tonight
- Clueless leaves his coat in one place
- which happens to be in Domestics
- even though he's seen I'm already doing it
- so said coat is in my way
- so I move it
- Clueless comes back later and screams and yells that I moved it
- I retorted that he shouldn't have his coat in the back anyway
- and should hang it up like everyone else
- he says he "don't need to hang it up"
- I emphasize the rules
- he DEMANDS that I see him put his coat there "every day"
- I DEMAND that I don't know it's his coat
- he DEMANDS that I know it's his
- I say, NO
- he says, "NO"
- as though I just responded "NO" to knowing who the current president of the US is
- he DEMANDS that I never ever touch his coat again
- I glare at him with disgust that he feels he can choose what rules apply to him
...and I subsequently spent the rest of the night wondering why I didn't say, "OR WHAT?" followed by "Tell somebody on me? Punch me in the face? Kill me? WHAT??" [and I wouldn't be at all afraid of the consequences, not even the painful ones, because I knew I was in the right]
Problem with taking the high road is I can't possibly follow up in order to find out what he would have said without it being deliberate provocation, and I really doubt I'll get the "golden opportunity" to relive the drama because it's rare that I'll be put into Domestics if Clueless works that night. I mean, I expected his ass wasn't showing up, if he wasn't doing it by the time I got in. The main thing is it pisses me off when people blatantly disrespect rules--being ignorant is one thing, but Clueless can hardly say he doesn't know the rules if he says he doesn't have to follow them just because his superior doesn't call him on it. An ignorant person would say, "Oh, I didn't know," and at least pretend to accept them.
Maybe I just want to believe too much in the good in people that this disappoints me so X/
Unrelatedly, I've been prodded into a puzzle mindset and--upon noticing the budget puzzle/adventure game I was eyeing yesterday disappeared tonight--picked up all of the puzzle/adventure games I could find at work, largely in anticipation of the upcoming ronbake. We don't have Upwords, though, so I'll likely hit the mall either today or tomorrow, depending on how I feel after the post office. [I also need a Shuffle.v.2 charger that DOESN'T require my computer to be on for the sixteen+ hours it needs to refuel... fucking fuck!]
I'm pretty proud that I managed to finish a Quote-Acrostic that had me stumped for almost a week now, though, and without having to look anything up on Google! It's neat but also a little creepy how one word can put all the pieces into place... and it helped that I'd seen Last Exile to recognize the Immelmann turn referred to in one of the clues ^^
Here's the quote, though:(Dr. Laurence J.) PETER: THE PETER PRINCIPLE: The superintendants' concerns were that no minority group should ever be offended and that official forms be submitted on time. The children's education appeared the farthest from the administrator mind.
I also know what the Peter Principle is :p ...that people have a tendency to be promoted beyond their competence, particularly since it's harder to be demoted than promoted, even when incompetence is demonstrated. [Look at Bushie!]
Time to hit the road again! =p
