I'm NOT STUPID, okay? 10:49 a.m. 2005-09-22 I was feeling a little perturbed the other day after I got this ridiculous phone call from a probation officer, and now, a day later, I’m getting a little angry, and seriously thinking about calling this person up and giving him a piece of mind! (This has the potential of being very dangerous.) I will not name names (of course), but this “idiot” called me late yesterday afternoon to ask me if I ran the CII (Criminal Investigation Inquiry) at the office. Yep, I sure do! Then he went on to explain that he and his family were seeking Canadian citizenship, and that they would need CII’s run for all of them. I’m thinking to myself at this point: Okay, this guy is going to ask me to do him a “favor”, but I’m NOT going to get angry, but I’m going to let him finish. He goes on and on how he has tried to contact several agencies at the county building, and that no one can help him. At this point I’m thinking: to myself, BULLSHIT! This guy must really think I’m STUPID, but I’m not going to be angry, I’m going to just let him talk. He FINALLY asks me if I can run them for him. “I only run CII’s when requested by a P.O. or the Court.” Then I hear a pause, and he just goes on and on again, saying he doesn’t know where to go. This guy is acting so dumb at this point, so I give him some suggestions. I suggest to him to contact the Canadian Consulate. He is like, “Gee, I didn’t think of that..” DUH… It is times like these I stop and wonder if people see me as that DUMB. It makes me worry. Do I come across that naive? Or, do I come across as more of a “sweetie pie” that will do anything for a fellow co-worker. Better yet, if I turn it around, what kind of co-worker would even think of asking another co-worker to commit a crime (can you say, FELONY?), and risk his/her job for his benefit? The more I think about it, the more ANGRY I get. What a piece of work. If I see him around here, (he works in a different office, so I probably won’t) I may just throw something at him! I’ve already spoken to my supervisor who just happens to be one of the assistant chiefs, who overheard the conversation (I wonder if he knows that), so she is aware of it. I don’t know if she is going to do anything (probably not), but I did get the impression that she doesn’t care much for him to begin with. She called him a “jerk”. Oh well. At least my supervisors LIKE me. I do hope he does GO to CANADA. Our loss will be our gain—that is how I’m seeing it at this point. Grrrr….(I’m growling)…. |
