Too much testosterone at work�..

Today was the last day before our yearly tractor/mower inspection. Time is running out on getting everything up to proper condition, so tempers are starting to wear thin.

First problem:

Pumpkinhead (temporary #1) caught three guys in an out building, killing some time before lunch. He proceeded to flip out on them, telling them to #@%**$()#@)@ right now!

One person laughed it off.

Another told him to take a chill pill.

The third? He decided that Pumpkinhead was picking on him, and him alone. He thinks that temp #1 enjoys picking on him, and decided that he wasn�t going to take it anymore.

He is also the smallest man at the storage, so he came off like a Yorkshire terrier, yipping at a postman�s leg.

Although I don�t think the Yorkie would use the word �fuck� quite that much in his dialog.


Later in the day, the �man who was driving the truck when the big collision happened last fall� who shall now on be known as Dunny (oh yeah, I forgot to tell you he made it back. Joy!) got separated from the crew he was supposed to be following in a TMA truck. He called them ONE TIME on the state radio, and they didn�t respond (not hard to believe, with the crummy radios we have, that they didn�t hear him)

He then called the storage on his cell phone, and asked Pumpkinhead what he should do. �Head was still mad about the last confrontation, so he yelled into the phone �CALL THEM AGAIN, UNTIL THEY ANSWER YOU!�

He did, and didn�t get an answer again.

Less than 10 minutes later, Dunny pulled into the storage, parked his truck, and slowly made his way into the office.

You could see the smoke coming out of �Head�s ears.

�Head called the driver of the other truck (the former temp #2 that doesn�t get along with �Head) on his cell phone, and explained to him what was happening.

F.T.#2 pulled into the yard a few minutes later, and hopped out of his truck He and Dunny were exchanging foul words in less than 10 seconds.

Let me tell you the problem here: Dunny isn�t physically able to do this job. He wasn�t BEFORE the accident, and he isn�t now. He is at least 100 pounds overweight, and had been fired from the last several jobs that he had before lucking into this one. And he isn�t going to get better as time goes on. I still think he will end up on permanent disability, just as soon as he gets his 6 months probation period in (it started over when he was off recovering from the accident).

I swear, the testosterone in the air was so thick, you could have cut it with a knife.

Me?

I just put a pair of ear plugs in, grabbed a Weedeater� and trimmed the fence surrounding the storage.

All 1000+ feet of it�


I haven�t posted a photo for a few days, so here�s a new one:

No real reason why I posted this one. I guess I just liked the way the curves of the tulip petals contrasted with the sharp lines of the bathroom tiles.

Or something like that��

Funny�..this seems so close to me, for some reason�..
