Tool Bag Of The Day

Well, it finally happened. I encountered the first tool bag situation at work. Actually, I ran into it - head on. I'm not going to discuss or describe it, but gee-golly-willikers, it was fucking ridiculous.

Single handedly, I got ridiculed, chewed out, hung up on, and talked about within earshot in one day!

And believe it or not - it wasn't even remotely my fault (and I bullshit you not - I'd own it if I were to be in the wrong, but in no way, shape, or form, was I anything but innocent).

I got blamed for someone else's mistake. It gets worse. The person who blamed me for the incident, was the person who made the mistake! Come on - are you fucking kidding me?

Don't mess up and then try to turn it around on the lowest level employee you have - just own up to it. A simple "whoopsie" would have been fine.

It all boils down to going power crazy. This person is high up, I'm down low, they likes being up top, they'll abuse it however they see fit, which include placing their mistakes on other people.

Gahh - I'm not mad, I'm not upset, I actually laughed it off, as I am now.

Seriously though, you're what, 35 years old and one of the highest positions? You think a tiny mistake isn't worthy of admitting?

Perfect example of what I will never be when I have people working below me.

On a side note - it's been in the 60's here and people act like it's a blizzard - which, means one thing.

You should know, because it makes me cringe and shudder.

Yeah...you guessed it right. The goddamned Uggs are coming out.

The only thing worse than them is leggings and if the temp dips anymore than it already has, I may have to deal with both of them...at once!

Nooooooooooooooooooo!

On another grrat side note - we brewed some holiday beer this past weekend! My first foray into the art of home brewing - so we hired a friend who knows his way around the process and brewed a holiday beer. It's a heavy malt beer, with a little hops, orange, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It smells delicious. Currently, it's sitting in my closet with some yeast fermenting. It should be ready by X-mas.

Science moment of the day: The beer is currently mingling with a bunch of yeast, slowly fermenting. The yeast is eating all the sugar in the brew, digesting it, and releasing carbon dioxide - creating the carbonation and alcohol. Yup, in about 3 weeks, we'll be getting drunk off of tiny creatures' farts.

Yay science. Yay beer.
