I've been a proper man today. Firstly I fronted my line manager for having an unjustified go at me yesterday, and told her she owed me an apology. She was extremely apologetic. Then I fronted the spotty admin kid who always talks to me (and everyone else) like shit, and pointed out that I have a son only a couple of years younger then her and if he spoke to me with such a lack of respect I'd headbutt him. She's been sickly sweet the rest of the day and even made me a coffee (which I didn't drink in case she'd spat in it). Then this afternoon I fronted the consultant project manager I'm working under and told him he's taking the piss out of me, and has given me unrealistic targets. My dept manager agreed with me and said he knows I work my arse off, and whatever I achieve he's more than happy with because it'd still be far better than anyone else and told me to ignore the consultant's targets.

 

Then I went back to my desk and scratched my balls for a bit. RARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

Testify brother. I can smell the testosterone from here.

I fought my way onto a crowded commuter train and grabbed a seat. Fuck altruism.

 

And I did exactly the same thing.

 

Two big lads, 19 or 20, hoodies and gold teeth, the usual routine. On the seat between them, the only empty seat in the carriage (in which about ten people are standing already) is a carrier bag with a trainers box in it.

 

 

I said "'scuse mate, do you mind moving that so I can sit down?"

 

He said "nah man, it's got ma babies in, innit"

 

I stood there staring at him.

 

He moved his bag.

 

 

I take three truths from this encounter.

 

1. Even scallies have the brains to realise that a 37 year old, 6' 1", 14 stone taxman, especially one who's just finished a nine hour day at the office, will just sit on his fucking trainers if he doesn't move them. Right fucking now.

 

2. One of these days I really will get stabbed because with every passing day, I grow less inclined to supplicate myself before moronic youth.

 

3. I am man. Grrrrrrrr.
