Fun with racism
Jan. 14th, 2009 06:39 pmWe got a call in the condo assoc. office today, and someone was raising hell because they "wanted to know if we'd be towing people from our parking lot during the inauguration activities. Our giant answer was no, because we have no reason to, never have in the past, and haven't even towed on days we get swarmed such as July 4 (you can walk from here to the festivities) or during the Marine Corps Marathon. Eventually the caller revealed they _weren't going to be here at all_ instead going to Maryland. So this person we've never heard from before suddenly is up in arms about...oh...oh I get it now. If only I was there and had this type of reaction time:
"Oh I'm sorry ma'am, this must be your first black president. There, there. I assure you if we have a problem with parking during the inaugural activities that the next time we have a first black president that we'll be ready with sufficient force to maintain the integrity of our development."
Proboscis is an awesome word. It's not as fun to say as scoo-bah (scoo-bah, scoo-bah), but it's far more versatile. It was a natural extension (pun intended) from pupa and chrysalis from their use during my plague days.
I...lots going on at work, but really if I just didn't mind the favoritism, pro-black-female xtian discrimination, nepotism, and didn't mind the disrespect and large pointless workload heaped on me, then the job would be the dream job. I was a subservient dog today to petty burdensome requests and demands, didn't bat an eyelash at the fact 12 hours of work was poofed without explanation or even a note about the completely revamped assignment, and for that the day went well. Only, I barely had time to get my work done and I had to practice grinning like a fox eating shit out of a wire brush. If I had no esteem or didn't mind being treated without respect, if I didn't mind rimming these nasty twats, I'd be fine. As long as I don't let it bother me, I keep getting a paycheck.
YAY phone buh bye
