I got a new job, it's OK, can't complain much. If I did? Who would really care? It's phone work, not really my life's ambition, but the people are nice, the boss is cool, and it's convenient right now. Besides, according to my Uncle Ned.."Boy, you have a face that is made for the phone!" Sorry, for this tidbit, but everyone knows what my favorite thing in Las Vegas is, and I just watched another one walk by me at McDonald's. I love McDonald's! Back to the point, at the end of the shift Thursday, I noticed something in particular. This lady who sits a few seats down from me was pacing up and down the call room floor. At first, I didn't think much of it. I figured she was just killing time until it was time to punch out, and then she did something that I found very bizarre, but also quite amusing..
"Jack your a no good bastard! Your trying to screw me out of money! I hate this place!" It's not uncommon for people to complain about their jobs. That happens all the time! The thing that made this awkward? She was airing it out in front of everyone! "This place fucking sucks!" After she said that, the boss told her to leave and her employment was terminated. She then told him to fuck off. At the time, myself and twenty other people were sitting their watching all of this go down. Believe it or not? This isn't the first time I've seen some one get fired, or even flip-out at work! The thing that made this lady a little different? Generally people just leave after getting terminated, but she refused to. In the old days? I would happily volunteered to throw this lady out on her ear, but nowadays? Not a good idea! People are to sue happy! The lady would not stop with the tirade, so the boss called the police.
Here's where the story gets amusing..I didn't like this lady to begin with. To be honest with you! I thought she was one of the most disgusting people I've ever laid my eye's on. So watching her go? Good riddance! Now, as I sat their and watched her rant, I noticed that she kept sticking her tongue in and out. Acts like that are a tell-tell sign that she was on something, but what really made me laugh? Well, she looked exactly like Jabba the Hutt! For those of you who are 'Star Wars' fans? You get the picture. I wanted to tell her that, but I decided not to escalate the matter, so I left. The next day when I went back to work, the boss addressed the situation to everyone. He told us that he made a mistake hiring her, and now that mistake was corrected. At the end of the meeting he started to do an imitation of her. He kept sticking his tongue in and out, and then he said.."I can't think of that character that she reminded me of. It's at the top of my head. What was the movie?" I knew exactly who he was talking about! So I piped up.."Jabba the Hutt, that's who she reminds you of!" He looked at me and started laughing.."Jabba the Hutt, that's who I was thinking!"
I like to end every post of mine with a thought I'm having..Call it the village idiot thought of the day.."My Uncle Ned has been known to flip-out from time to time. Remember the song 'Freak Out', I don't remember the artist. Anyways, whenever he flip-outs around me? I break into a chorus of that song to lighten his mood.."Ahh Freak-Out!!" I don't know any other lines past that. Don't really need to, it usually calms him down. Usually, not all the time!"
