Like Sting says, "We're starting up a brand new day


So my new hobbie is bowling. I started about 3 weeks ago after I joined a men's league at the local alley. After the first night I had wrought for myself a sweet 104 average. Now after a bit of practice I'm getting around 140. Hopefully it's all uphill from here... or downhill, which actually sounds easier.



The work thing has kind of ironed itself out. I checked with everyone else on the crew and I'm doing fine and they all think the bad guy is an ass too.

The rain is here and the green things are singing.

Keens or Danskos?

Badump Bump. That's the sound of the other shoe dropping. Things were going so well then this gigantic douchebag I work with decided that he didn't like the way I smile (sarcastic elaboration).

Really what happened after I just put in an awesome month of work is that this lazy-ass donkey fucker I work with starts belittling me in front of my crew on Friday morning (Sep 29th for the record). He was giving me a derogatory nickname compairing me with some other employee from the past who evidently didn't do much work. I told him we needed to go talk about what he was saying but he was relentless.
I stewed about it over the weekend and decided to tell him on Monday that I would report him to HR for harassment if he ever did that again.
Monday morning came and I had a chance to talk to him alone. I told him that I took offense to the remarks he made on Friday and gave him the HR warning.
Things went very bad from there... at one point I even got caught up in the argument and said there was nothing to his job. He dared me to do his job for a week. I basically let him know he was full of shit and that he better leave me alone.
The last thing he said to me was "Kiss my ass." I replied "Fuck off."
So I'm leaving out a lot of fun back-and-forth banter but that's the gist. Needless to say I'm avoiding this guy as much as possible. I checked with the rest of the crew and no one else holds the same opinion as him so I am vindicated.

Then, after some good times hanging out with my wife and smacking some golf balls around (separate activities), I feel a thousand times better.

And life goes on...
