USS Clueless: Earth to Timi

I put a sign up on the machine telling everyone to leave it alone. You there ALWAYS has to be one dummy that will not follow instructions. This guy goes over to the copier. He starts ranting about it not working. He looks up at the note that's above the copier. He plugs the machine into the electrical socket. He removes the out of order sign that's on the copier. I said, "The machine is broken. Please, for your sake, leave it alone." He doesn't listen to me. A manager & I just sat back and watched this fool make a complete arse of himself. It was comedy.

The guy proceeds to stick his hand inside of the open area of the copier. He fumbles his hand around for a second or two. Then all of a sudden we hear, "AHHHHHHH!" I wanted to run over to him and ask was he ok, but I was laughing too hard. Not only did this fool get shocked, but his hand got stuck inside of the machine. Everytime he tried to remove his hand, he got shocked by a loose wire inside of the copier. He was snapping. He was cussing and everything. The more angry he got, the harder I laughed. It was so funny. Some technician guy helped him get his hand out of the copier. Dude's face was so red. I could tell that he was completely embarassed. That's what he gets. Maybe next time he'll listen to somebody.

Woe To Ignorance

This evening, I broke up a fight at work. A female co-worker snapped out on a male co-worker. This male co-worker is the same guy who had the audacity to ask if I & another co-worker were lesbians. The female co-worker is the other chick he questioned about being a lesbian. Today, he pissed her off. She was trying to help him with something & he got upset. He called her a stupid black devil bitch. She SNAPPED OUT! I have NEVER in my life seen anyone flip the way this girl flipped out.

I was standing next to him when all of this took place. I saw her charging towards him, and I immediately jumped in front of her and grabbed her. She was crying and cussing him out. I was holding her back. She picked up a stapler and threw it at him. She was tossing books at him. She tried to pick up a table & throw it at him. We were trying to calm her down. I was holding her & just telling her that it's going to be ok. I told her that losing her job over an idiot really isn't worth it...especially since she has a child. She was strong. I got a work-out trying to hold her back. The whole time I held her back, I was praying that God would give me the strength to contain her & that He would calm her spirit.

She was flipping out. She's and I are about the same height, so I was sort of bear hugging her & whispering words of encouragement in her hear. I was like, "God please help me hold this girl because if I let her go, she is going to kill him." In fact, she threatened to kill him. I managed to back her into a corner & another co-worker stood in back of me for assurance. He was trying to calm her down as well. The guy standing behind me told the male co-worker to get out and go home. The guy left. He was scared. I don't think he expected her to flip out like that.

She's Jamaican. She kept saying, "I'm Jamaican & I'm crazy." I believed her. She cussed him out in Patois. She called him every "clot" known to man. She used bloodclot, rasclot, bumbleclot, puddyclot, tippyclot & any other "clot" you can think of. They sounded vicious & deliberate. I don't know what they mean...I just know that I'm glad that I wasn't on the recieving end of her clots nor her anger. I think she may have even cursed him out in Chinese. LOL.

When everything had calmed down hours later, she approached me & said, "Thank You". I told her that I'm not the one that she should be thanking. I joked around with her to have a few laughs. I told her that I had to puff on my inhaler a few times after I finally let her go. Shooo...she almost gave me an asthma attack. Needless to say, the male co-worker probably will be fired after this incident.
