I STAB YOU!!!!

Picture this, a lovely autumn display of Halloween decorations and future Thanksgiving type stuff neatly arranged over the salad bar in the cafeteria where I work. I have a warm fuzzy moment looking at the real carrots that are au natural with the green leafy stuff on the end. It’s a picture perfect carrot mind you, something you see in a book and point at to show a child that this is what carrots look like straight out of the ground minus the clumps of dirt!

I am minding the hooligans that are the boys of my unit when all of the sudden I am being stabbed with these cutesy carrots by an angry child because he was given a consequence for not following directions. You know, he was playing with the display decorations and I prompted him to stop and he didn’t want to because I’m stooopid staff. I look at this child calmly and ask what he thought he was doing. He says to me as a matter factly, “I’m stabbing you mother fucker. I’m gonna…” He did not get to finish this statement because I had him wrapped up like a pretzel in a restraint on the nearest wall and crying like a little girl. BOOYAH! Mess with me again little boy. Holy shit it was funny.

Yeah, such is life amongst the mentally challenged and developmentally delayed. My boss quit his job, just didn’t come in one day and a week later I’m noticing he’s not around anymore, the week prior to that he was gone a few days because his wife was in the hospital. AND the week prior to that, he says he’s being deployed in December to go to Iraq. Ah shite that sucks arse. Granted he’s mentioned being unhappy, coming to the realization after five years of service to the company that the only way he’s moving up to a higher position is if someone dies and even then there are people with seniority over him for that position. Sucks to be me! I have applied for the same position now that he’s gone, because all I can think of is who I don’t want to have that job over me and I’m gonna give it my ALL to ensure that it doesn’t happen. C’est la vie. Oh well, 19 hours of overtime this week and I have a few more days before this week is done with and a whole other week of this particular pay cycle. Here’s to me getting the job! =)

...So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel
I'm still an angel to a girl who hates to sin…
