First of all, I am so sad that I wasn’t here to record this. Not only would I have been able to post it to YouTube and become an internet millionaire, but more importantly, I would have been able to cut it up and make it into a gif and put it on my Bitter Friday Giftures. Why do I always miss all the fun accidents on my camera? I have the worst timing! ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!
This is also going in my report:
Admit it, you’ve been there. That place where you’ve had a moment of boredom of work and you’ve dealt with it by doing something outside the rules. Nothing necessarily illegal. Not necessarily dishonest conduct. But something a little bit naughty to break up the monotony of the day. Something that will cause someone in a high visibility vest and a clipboard under his arm to say “This is going in my report”.
One time in a factory there were pallet jacks for hauling large loads around the premises. Not one of those new-fangled automated ones that you could walk alongside while holding a button. I’m talking old school. One that had to be pushed manually. From time to time workers were known to make the return trip on an empty trolley if the floor had a gentle slope just like riding a scooter…

Allow me to put it on the record that I always do my own stunts. I don’t have a double. Thanks so much for the re-blog (I had no idea that was a thing). Do you have a favourite that I can reciprocate with?

I have a bitter double. I am pretty lazy and I need to have someone to perform my bitter stunts.

If that doesn’t qualify as “Bitter” I don’t know what will 😉
Have a bitter evening!

I appreciate that. I need the minnions out there doing my work for me. So I can concentrate on the being lazy.

And it’ll be a pleasure to keep doing it, if it can help you getting better at what you already seem to master 🙂 The Kingdom of Bitterness is in good hands!

I don’t know about that. I have pretty small hands and they tend to get numb from all the laziness. Good luck to my minions.

With a little chance (I know, that’s not bitter-thinking) you might get one or two extra minions…

Many years ago, I worked in a hardware store, and at the end of the day, we would have pallet jack races to the back warehouse. We rode them like scooters, not having the luxury of a downhill slope. Our manager would announce the winner-different days, indeed!

Yeah, we really need to have more of these races in our offices. Since I work in a mortgage office, maybe we could have a interest rate races? See who can get lower?

Mortgage office? No kidding. There are actually two reasons why my page is called “Having A Lend”. Not just because life has a lend of me.

So you are in mortgage too? It is quite the business. I haven’t been here that long, but I’ve heard there are some really big egos to stroke.

Yes. That’s why I have a little bio at the end of my posts:

The finance broker sounds boring, but the joker and the octopus wrestler sounds interesting. Can I get ahold of the part time wrestler at that phone number?

Yes but understand what you’re asking for. I have a son with autism and if he’s restrained from doing something wrong, he’ll find a free hand to do it anyway. It’s as if he has 8 tentacles instead of two arms. I’ve stopped trying to restrain and have more effect by saying “this is going in my report” and “this is why we can’t have nice things”.

I have a son too, though he doesn’t have autism, he is quite energetic, which sucks for me, because I am not. He always wants to wrestle and I always want to lay on the couch. It is our eternal struggle.
