11.25.03 - 10:34 p.m. I don't really feel like writing, but here I am typing away... The newish assistant manager is so getting on my nerves. He is such a needy little boy. He is one of those guys who needs to constantly talk about his achievements (little or large) and if that isn't enough to inflate his ego, he has to somehow bring someone else down to make him feel better. I hate that! For the most part, I have been completly ignoring him; a skill I have perfected over the years, but lately I have been forced to have some one on one's with him, and it is just about killing me to keep my mouth shut...a talent I haven't mastered over the years. He really should consider himself lucky. My crappy years of highschool years ago, and the hard knock life I lived up until the past few have really sharpened my tounge. I am really worried he is going to annoy me enough that I am going to have to retaliate with a little bit of a verbal war, and trust me with his grasp of the English language, and complete unablity to use sarcasm...he doesn't have much of a chance. I think, he thinks, we are in some sort of competition, which is ridiculous. I don't compete at work. What a silly thing to do. For example, I have been working on a revision to the Standard Operation Procedures, to make the lab/sample prep area a lot more effecient. Well, he was talking to some corporate 'helper' guy on the phone and totally ripped the material I was working on and took credit for himself. Really, I wouldn't care as much, but the next day he made some stupid comment like, "I guess I beat you to it with that procedure change." "Beat me to it?" What an ignorant asshole. No big deal, I, for the most part, just blew it off as another example of a sad little ego trying to stand out in the crowd. He has since pushed my buttons on several occasions, but I've been able to keep my cool and not remind him he is a complete fuck. Okay, I'm fine, now. I'm a little disappointed I will have no Thanksgiving, this year. It's not so much missing the holiday, because I think Thanksgiving has lost his meaning over the years. More so, it's the fact I won't get to hang out with the entire family and overdose of Turkey and stuffing. I am working open to close tomorrow, and I open the center on Friday, so it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to make the trip home for just one day. D. is going to Minnesota over the holiday, and that means it's just me and the animals hanging around the house watching bad t.v., and playing the X-box. Yes, it is as depressing as it sounds, but I guess I got Christmas. Well, I should go take a shower and get to bed. I have long day tomorrow. Thank Jeebus the A.M. won't be there. I need a few days to let my frustration become a bit more manageable. That's all folks, thank you, and goodnight.
