Conquest of the Planet of the Bride of the Son of the Return of the Open Bar

My boyfriend wants a bouquet and a tiara every time he puts the toilet seat down.

So give him a bouquet and a tiara.  Seriously.

If that doesn't get the point across, nothing will.

I just had to throw a six foot tall Nigerian out of a girl's room for threatening her.

So. Fucking. Had. It. With. This. Job.

This place needs goddamn security officers, not pastoral staff.

How many people on staff?

Thing is, you're doing it right.  Instill discipline from day 1, and ride it HARD.

Maximum of two people any one shift, with two permament members (myself on nights, my co-worker on days) and a rotating staff from the college office.  At that particular moment in time, it was only me.

In theory the building is also meant to be staffed 24/7 and I could call upon them for backup, but in practice there are only people here on office hours and weekend mornings, and the security company we use is so overburdened it cannot even send out people for lockout issues.

Yeah, doing it right for sure, but it's hard to overcome 16+ years of near-negligent levels of indulgence + cultural dispositions to treating women as property.

I need to try this when my bf actually does dishes.

When are you outta there?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Apparently, I have moved to a part of Portland that gets multiple police cars with their lights on doing about 40-50 mph through the neighborhood every evening.

I have the room facing the street, which is the largest and has the best natural light but also is the red-and-bluest room between 12pm and 4am. They're going to kill some drunk asshole on a bicycle one night that doesn't realize that tons of cops are legally speeding down this particular road on a regular basis.

Right on cue, when I went to post this, the law went careening by my window. I don't even live downtown or by a highway—this is a main street in a residential neighborhood.

Where did you move to? You are probably on a designated emergency route. Fremont is one too, but that makes sense because it's a major through street.

Killingsworth. The lights at night don't bother me, in and of themselves, it's just the heavy cop presence. During the day they patrol the fuck out of this area in marked and unmarked cars.

Oh, yeah. Totally! They're all over on Killingsworth. What cross street?

I have found that when people get anti-Muslim on the Facebook, and say that Christians never do such terrible things, I tell them about this tiny country I know of called Bosnia.

I love when anyone says "such-and-such group of people never do such terrible things".

My favorite are atheists, though. I am developing a nice round loathing of hardcore atheists.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Yeah . . . the whole "you're so NOBLE for doing something decent" rubs me the wrong way.

My boyfriend wants a bouquet and a tiara every time he puts the toilet seat down.

My best friend gives strays and stray kids a place to stay and get their shit together and calls it doing what needs doing. "We gotta take care of ourselves and each other because ain't no one else gonna."

Seriously, I hate that "you must be an awesome person" shit. Really? It takes an awesome superhuman saint to do something that's obvious and decent? Fuck the world.

One of my Facebook friends is an Atheist, but he's not a douche about it. In fact, he calls out the ones that ARE douches. Apparently he is in a few groups, and noticed that quite a few were "celebrating" and almost laughing about the bombings going, "Oh, where is your god now, losers!" Atheist extremists are WTF.

The so-called neo-atheists are a horrible bunch, and Dawkins is their god.

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

I just don't like evangelicizing, doesn't matter who's doing it. The shitty atheists are always the ones who do that.

Just finished writing Bearman his promised hate letter, for winning the "which FB page to troll" contest.

I've found through bitter experience that any workplace which has "Backup" or "Just in case of Emergency" numbers are beyond worthless. These things are only suitable if the emergency can be dealt with by holding for an excessive ammount of time to find that it will take quite some time to attend. Help may be offered over the phone. Ignore this advice or suffer the consequences. This is advice from a person who has already failed to grasp the severity of the situation.

I do, however, recommend purchase of a crowbar. It just seems like good sense. And they are versatile! Today I hit , pryed, AND beat things.  I also poked things.

Term ends 29th of June.  I should be leaving permamently towards the end of the holidays, in the final week of August.

Oh, this is the OLD job.

My bad.
