Ass. My day is Ass. Today shall henceforth be known as Ass-day. As in May Day or Doom's Day. Cause my Ass has just been plowed.
As(s) of today I am no longer a Senior Rep. I am now a Call Center Tech II. (Ok, technically it will be as of the announcement on Monday or Tuesday.) Yes, a demotion… not for performance (or lack thereof) but because I don’t have a cell phone anymore and I was 11min late due to that fatality last week on the South bound Express Lanes. (You know that one where they closed down the Ship Canal Bridge to investigate whether or not the commercial trucker was responsible for killing the guy pushing his stalled truck off the freeway.)
Y’up. Just like anyone who’s ever been bent over, I knew it was coming. I could see it, sense it, practically taste that corporate cock before it ever even had the thought to nudge past my poor cringing little sphincter. Alas, there was nothing I could do to stop it. I could only wait, (pray), and try to prepare, (Breathe! Breathe goddamnyou), kinda like when you were a kid; just before the spanking… knowing that it’s only a temporary humiliation, though one that may (or may not quite) stick.
*sigh*
I do suppose it is my fault originally. Oh, not for leaving home early and taking the Express Lanes to get to work on time, but for it being an issue in the first place. See, I had this problem a few months ago where no matter what; it seemed that I couldn’t get logged in on time. So even if I was here, I was late every day, if only by one minute. But this had been a problem at my place of employment, cause everybody had been abusing the attendance policy due to it’s lack of enforcement. Sadly, when the clean sweep came and such processes were being eliminated, that left me in quite a quandary… ‘cause as a representative in a ‘leadership’ role, that is kind of a no-no. Setting a good example and all that. So I was put on a an ‘Action’ Plan to highlight the fact that I can’t be late…. and I was doing so well too. Almost made it to the end… and then the accident happened.
Eh, at least I didn't get fired (which was the other option) and I still get to maintain my seniority... but still. Ass Day is totally apropos
Yea, suck huh?
Though, I don’t think it’s all bad. It may actually be good for me. Cause suddenly, I feel kinda free. Ok, there’s no ‘kinda’ about it. I do feel free. Mostly cause I really don’t care. I mean, I know I do a great job here... and we all know it... so I think the only thing that really changed was that now, I’ve lost my filter. Yup. That thing that has been holding me back, my attempt to be sensitive to and inclusive of the needs of those around me, mistakenly causing me to appear timid about standing up pushing forth my ideas- gone. Cause yea, I don’t have to try and guard my back anymore. All the inner office politicos can suck the corporate jism right out of my ass. Cause I don’t need it. No more freakin ‘tip-toein thru the fuckin tu-lips’ w/ these mother fuckers.
I’m gonna rock-out-w/-my-cock-out…
