Don't F*ck with a Dragon...
16 years ago
arinaca would be proud. Looks like this dwaggie does still have some fire in his belly!First, some background:
Several of you know that I suffered a work injury years ago (broken back, nothing severe!) & have been at the mercy of the SA Government's "WorkCover" scheme for injured workers. Part of my responsibilities are, quite rightly, to work as many hours as possible.
As I posted earlier this year, the company that I worked in since 2000 closed, so I had to find new, part-time work.
In the current economic climate, one of the only industries actively looking for people in town are the different fishing companies.
So, despite the fact that I'd rather coat my wedding tackle with fish paste & smack a hungry lion in the face with them, I had no choice but to apply for a position with some of them. If I got it, I had to accept & had no right to resign...
I got a job as "Company Secretary," a job that in other companies I've dealt with or consulted for, is a good job with lots of responsibilities. An executive position.
Apparently, nowadays the term is more synonymous with "shit kicker," or "he who is treated like shit." At least, in this company it was.
So, I've been working there for a while & not making friends with their internal book-keeper when I kept discovering data entry issues (um... Claiming GST back on purchases made while overseas - which obviously have
No GST, is a wee bit of a no-no.) But hey, if I'm auditing, then I'm auditing!
So the General Manager & the book-keeper have started being patronising, aggressive arseholes.
Well today, in a furry lapse, while they were being arseholes, I gave them a slightly annoyed look and growled: "Don't Fuck with a Dragon."
I finish Friday.
Cheers, Ant
I'm thoroughly trying to comment back & comment on other furs journals. Because I'm still in what is soon to be my ex-wife's house, I have to be subtle about typing any replies & can only really go on FA when I'm alone. Please don't think I'm ignoring you - I'm trying hard!
Once you see a frozen dolphin in a freezer room, you never forgive the bastards!
There is no such thing™ as "Dolphin Safe Tuna"
Seriously though, a frozen dolphin? I'd say grab it for me, but better leaving it there and seeing if you can report them for -something- and saying you have seen it.
Dolphins get caught in nets regularly. The law requires them to freeze them and inform the authorities who come and collect them to study/autopsy the corpse.
People thought the deaths would stop when they started Tuna Farming. Sure, they don't have to net the Tuna anymore - but they do have to net the Pilchards to feed them with!
I couldn't help but think of that sketch of yours from the Pancake Kitchen at my 'farewell.'
"Fuck You! I'm a Dragon!" Indeeds!
...other than that.. how are ya'?
(The boss was from Turkey too...)
It will take them a long time to find it...way after they smell it!
I doubt a bologna would work though - we're talking a place that stinks like fish, remember? Yech!
(Which reminds me: There's two things in the world that stink like fish - and one of them is my former boss!)
But all that fish smell would make the bologna work even better - for it won't be noticed until its REALLY rotten! And it would be a subtle stink in the midst of all that big stink...so that no one would go looking for it for a long long time!
When I used to work on the refrigeration plant at some of the freezers, I used to like grabbing one of the half-frozen pilchards that was laying on the ground and finding random places to hide them in my colleagues work vehicles, tool boxes etc.
Days of fun! Especially in summer!
Yeah. Glad you don't have that job anymore...or that I'm in North America.
