Sometimes, chewings bite back!
Sometimes, the universe really does have a way of coming back on jerks. There's a guy that called in to my work place last week and chewed me out over some of his paperwork that was missing. Basically, he informed me that I was incompetent and accused me of losing "all" of his paperwork "all the time". (In five years, I have misplaced only 1 page of paperwork that he has filed with us-and that item was actually on my boss's desk for HIS review because it was so inadequately filled out that I couldn't identify what I needed to do with it). I let him talk to my boss last week and neither of us really gave it much more thought-because all of this guy's paperwork for SIX MONTHS wasn't in our office. Well, he called today. All of that paperwork that I "lost"-it was all under the seat of his truck, which he found today while he was cleaning said truck out. He didn't apologize or anything, just said that he was mailing the paperwork in and we'd see it shortly. So, if I "lost" his paperwork I have MUCH better office fairies than I thought, because I couldn't have planned that better if I'd actually tried it.
On a completely random note, I was thinking today about how fortunate I am to have friends with whom I feel safe. I know that it's kind of an odd thing to be thankful for, but it's something that I think way too many people take for granted. I have good friends and I am safe with them. None of them would deliberately try to hurt me. They aren't petty. They aren't vindictive. They aren't out to ruin my life. Not everyone has that kind of security. I also know that there are a lot of people who find out that they don't have that kind of safety until it's far too late.
