A friend of mine was asked by someone who is also on the same special assignment as we are, when they were at lunch the other day, if he was eating DOG. The person who asked him that is supposed to be a "lead" the 2nd in command at a checkpoint and she is black. The person she insulted is American, but happens to have an Asian background. This was unbelievable and she is still in the same department, although a different area.
If it had happened to me, I would have excused myself, sat down and written it out, and headed up to the 8th floor to see the HR specialist who is handling our department and told her in no uncertain terms that that behavior has no place in any department. The mgr downstairs made her apologize but the damage has been done. Makes you proud to be a fed.
It's been busy and it's been 2 months or so since I took the position. I am happy with it. I work hard, the day goes by fast and I am good at it. Polite, deferent, and I use good manners. I spent my own money and bought a headset for the phone. Now I can type with 2 hands. Ha. Of course it doesn't look like this but I can at least do 2 things at once.
I am just tired today. But I have 3 days to catch up on my rest because I will need it on Tuesday. Tomorrow I am going to the Home Depot to get some Thanksgiving Tillandasias for my office window. They thrive on benign neglect. They are air ferns and they are cool.
Pizza is ordered. I am going to splurge on myself tomorrow. It's about damn time. I already have part of next months rent put away and should be able to do Thanksgiving shopping too.
HAve a good weekend. If anything exciting happens I may even write about it.
