“ARE YOU A SPY?” Donald screamed, throttling the hair.
“Donald,” the hair said.
“ARE YOU?”
“Donald!” the hat yelled. “Let him go!”
“He’s a spy!” Donald hissed.
“No. I’m. Not,” the hair managed to gargle.
“Pah,” Donald harrumphed and tossed the hair onto a potted plant.
“Donald, you have to calm down,” the hat said.
“Spies, spies, spies, all around me. I’m surrounded by spies,” Donald muttered and fell back into his office chair. He slammed a palm down on the Diet Coke button.
“Donald,” the hair rasped, trying to untangle himself from the ficus, “I’ve been with you since 1978. We met in Studio 54. We did coke together in the bathroom. You know me.”
“Yeah, sure, whatever,” Donald said.
“I wonder if Harvey jacked off into that when Bill was in here?” the hat asked.
“Guh,” the hair moaned and dropped to the floor.
The hat looked around the Oval Office and whistled. “I bet if we got a black light, this whole place would look like a rave.”
“Ew. c’mon, dude,” the hair said. He got up on his tippy-toe tendrils and walked gingerly back to the desk.
The office door slammed open and John Bolton stomped into the room. “Mr. President,” his mustache said gruffly. “Pence, fucked us. He really, really fucked us.”
“Was his wife in the room?” the hat asked brightly.
“Pence mentioned the Libya-model, sir,” the mustache continued.
“Is she hot?” Donald asked. “I like big tits. Does she have big tits?”
“The Libya-model, dammit. I’m talking about the country. The country of Libya,” the mustache growled.
“OK, I get it, she’s from Libya. I don’t care where she’s from, I’ll pee on any of them. I just want to know about her tits.”
“Libya, sir. Pence mentioned Libya to the North Koreans. They took it as a threat.”
“So, she’s North Korean? I don’t know about that,” Donald said. “I like ‘em to be at least a little bit meaty.”
“Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, Mr. President. The US convinced him to give up his weapons program and then backed a revolt a few years later?” the mustache prompted.
“Weapons program?” Donald asked, mystified. “I don’t know about that, John. I don’t like those hookers that used to be a guy. Sometimes they have a penis. I mean, sometimes they look real convincing and then SURPRISE! A PENIS!”
“Sir,” the mustache said.
“Did you see The Crying Game?” Donald asked. “Half-black chick. Really hot. And then PENIS! Huge. Just a huge penis.”
“Sir, I’m trying to talk about foreign policy,” the mustache said wearily. “The North Koreans are pulling out of the talks on nuclearization.”
“Jong? Jong would never pull out. He told me he was balls-deep in these negotiations!”
“Donald,” the hair said, tugging on his pants leg, “Please take me to go get a shower.”
“Or maybe that was a dream,” Donald said. “But anyway, let’s get back to the issue at hand. Are they at least 36D?”
““Donald,” the hair rasped, trying to untangle himself from the ficus,”
Author! Author!
Kim fucked Donald and then left him. Sad.

Woohoo!
The Mustache is the reasonable one? I feel we’re being set up for a twist.
We’re so sorry Uncle Donald
We’re so sorry if we caused you any pain
We’re so sorry Uncle Donald

*Spoiler Alert* isn’t a thing anymore? Throws unopened VHS tape of Crying Game into shower.
Sorry, but Roger spoiled it a long time ago. It’s fair game.
Did he? I’m reading the review right now and it doesn’t look like it. Not like it wasn’t spoiled almost immediately by damn near everyone else in the country, even back in those days, and even to a little kid. Probably the first movie where that was the case. Never actually saw it.
The Cryin’ Game,
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout The Cryin’ Game.
Those eyes. Those thighs. Surprise! It’s the Cryin’ Game.
–Billy Crystal, 1993 Academy Awards
Siskel and Ebert did an annual pre-Oscars show where they talked about the nominated films. During the discussion of The Crying Game, Ebert blurted out the spoiler. Siskel chewed his ass out for doing it.
Ah gotcha. Though A.V. Club says it’s actually the reverse–and would Gawker Group lie? Also just about as little spoilery as spoilers get. By this time the dude had already been nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and that fact was what Siskel spoiled. To those film buffs who had managed to avoid this news, Siskel and Ebert would have had to engage in some sort of active concealment. Awkward. Incidentally I have little sympathy for the idea of “gender neutralizing” the awards shows, to the extent that I give a shit, although it is probably coming eventually. But this is one of those cases when it looks the silliest.
If you ask me Ebert did much more to “spoil” Fight Club, in his scathing review of the time:
Others (who almost uniformly disliked the movie every bit as much as Ebert, or theater audiences, did) regularly did the same or worse. Even just seeing Norton billed as “The Narrator,” as the Times does in keeping with its regular format, would have been too much of a spoiler for me. I’m glad I saw the movie completely fresh without even the vaguest hint of spoiler. Again, didn’t hurt that it was a box office fiasco.
You are right. The memory comes flooding back now of Gene being a dick and Roger being outraged.
That makes more sense, Ebert always played a slightly more audience-oriented guy.
I kind of remember it being that way every week.
Yup.
They hated each other at the beginning. They became friends, but still bitched at each other on regular basis.
Two thumbs up was a good sign.
Two thumbs down, stay away.
When they split, I always followed Ebert’s review.
Mom watched that with us when I was fifteen and my sister thirteen. She laughed hard at our reaction.
Your mother is now my favorite person ever.
There’s probably at least one Glib whose dad bought him a ladyboy at 13 and laughed hard at his reaction.
There’s also at least one Glib who bought his dad 13 ladyboys.
Who here has that kind of money?
When you’ve answered that koan, you will have reached enlightenment.
If one was in a bar with 13 lady boys working, I am thinking they would be around the same price as the gogo girls bar fee, so maybe less than 2 grand to get them all out of the club if the owner would let you. (It has been a few years since I have done that and I never paid attention to the cost so much and never more than two at a time) Then it is all on personal preference to money spent. I am thinking 5 grand for a night of bar hopping for the gaggle or much cheaper if they just went back to the rental and got freaky. There are plenty of folks who comment here with that kind of coin.
Now that’s just status-signalling consumption.
No one
needshandles more than 7 ladyboys at a time. Not even if you’re Mehmed the Conqueror himself.Some of these millionaires and billionaires, they have 11, 12 ladyboys at a time. Meanwhile, a little black boy in the ghetto, his parents can barely afford to buy him one. Ladyboys are a human right; we are the only industrialized country that fails to acknowledge that. I would offer every American at least two, free of charge. Don’t let the Right tell you that they would be low-quality ladyboys, either, or that they would be too busy all the time to perform properly. The French are quite happy with their ladyboys, the happiest in the world.
Evan from Evansville?
SF writes documentary fiction so much better than most in the genre. Mostly they just do the nonfictional characters as fictional characters with the name of the real person and a few recognizable characteristics. But his Trump is so tightly written to real life; when you read it you hear it in your head in his voice, and it doesn’t feel the slight bit odd hearing him say it.
I can’t figure out how you’ve left Sessions alone all this time, SF, but it’s a crying shame, I mean it’s just there crying out for the taking. The Hat, The Hair, and the Garden Gnome.
I’ve circled around him a bit, like a feral wolf.

“Was his wife in the room?” the hat asked brightly.
Perfect. ‘Brightly’ absolutely nails it. A lesser writer would have embellished, SugarFree – the Mies Van Der Rohe of stomach curling satire.
Your use of the word “curling” is no slouch either. Never heard that phrase before but it’s perfect. Very vivid, still has the gleam of novelty on it but it’s crystal clear.
“OK, I get it, she’s from Libya. I don’t care where she’s from, I’ll pee on any of them. I just want to know about her tits.
Has anyone seen The Donald and Q in one place?
Theory: The Hat is a spy. His kidnapping may have been an ordeal that scarred him, but I suspect he was also programmed by The Deep State. He has miles to go before he sleeps.
Do the Norks even have the technology to manufacture such Hats? I feel like all they can afford is the pattern for Kim’s fedora and those cartoonishly large covers the military wears.
Get onboard SugarFree Universe Connection Kanon, The Hat was kidnapped by Enemies Domestic, not Foreign.
An updated Crying Game would have Gerry Adams send a thug to kill the assassin chick even before the ladyboy got around to it. Both to keep her quiet, and for her transphobia.
OT:
I’m just going to leave this here
“Dolzal, who legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo”
Umm, what? So she officially stopped being black and started being… A Russian Mexican?
It’s actually a pretty good Star Wars name. If there’s ever KotOR revival, I might use it.
Guinean?
Both of those names are African as all fuck. But I do think Russian Mexican is a good way to go at this point.
These charges aren’t going to stick and will be quietly dropped. The DA will find out she never actually withdrew any money from her EBT, and instead was secretly working hard, wearing sensible earrings, and jogging about in New Balance sneakers.
Yeah, it totally fucks everyone up. They can’t decide whether you are a poor MS-13 immigrant being oppressed by Trump or whether you’re one of those pesky Ruskies hacking our democracy.
Giving POC a bad name or perpetuating a stereotype?
So it’s true, most welfare fraud IS from white people.
I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for Dolzal. As far as lunatic postmodernist fringe goes, embracing black identitarianism isn’t much crazier than raging against the patriarchy conspiracy, and God knows blacks have done enough suffering to inspire more than a little empathy than sense in the heart of some deeply confused lily-white Stacy. The career prospects for a racialist crusader are slim enough without having to hide one’s shameful heritage, so I’m not inclined to think she did it to get rich off activist lucre. She was merely among the first, maybe the first ever, to successfully trespass into the magical identitarian field separating blacks from the rest of us. It’s pretty tragic, really.
OT – Um…
It happens every day, it’s a natural part of American experience.
“The cable guy was there to work on her box”
Well, there you have it.
Oh God why did I click? I had sense enough to not see Basic Instinct 2, and Sharon Stone’s titties will forever be as they were in 1992. How could I have become so foolish?
You clicked in the latest episode of the stupiding of America.
“The unidentified technician, in his 30s, tried to resist Newsome’s “unwanted sexual advance,” but she persisted and performed oral sex on him, Strepay said.”
Yeah, I’m sorry, but that is not sexual assault. What, she didn’t get a signed consent form first?
Something about this story rubs me wrong.
It’s certainly a lot to swallow.
Yeah, I don’t get it.
I’m sure he’s got a work form for that somewhere in his clipboard.
‘Um, I didn’t go there looking for a BJ and man that chick was ugly… but then it started feeling real good… I MEANT … I couldn’t stop here, she was like on mareejauner and had the strength of 10 men! I was raped!
And yeah the two felony cases are especially outrageous. If he told her no to the titty thing once or twice, then got out of there like a normal person, he could’ve pressed the misdemeanor if he’d really insisted upon it. The fact that somehow it got to the point where she “forced him to let her perform a sex act on her” shows he shouldn’t even get that. This belongs in one of those “weird news” things where just the police report, just the attempt from the “victim” to complain to the law about this, is the news. The fact that the DA actually is pursuing it is a travesty. More state abuse abetted by this out of control crazy environment.
For once I wish a cop had intervened. “Listen, bud. You realize at some point you’re going to have to admit you let this fugly broad blow you, and now you’re pressing charges? You’re gonna take the stand and tell a jury you couldn’t keep her mouth off you? Fuck right off you will.”

Given the amount of pure tripe the media has been churning out lately, it’s actually disheartening to think that only 65% of Americans think they are full of shit. It should be 100%. Maybe we should shut down our current public education system and start all over, for one thing.
What a good day to start a 4 day binge so I can read Glibs. A great article by Q and SF in the evening. One question: Why did I get a “This site uses Cookies” notification when I clicked to read Q’s article about the soon to be end of the world due to data analytics? Now you tell me. Or is SP just fucking with us? And holy fuck, I had to take a shower after reading the comments following Q’s article just to wash the geek off myself. The comments should have a Nerd Alert TW.
We all got swirlies afterward.
That is interesting stuff. Thanks for educating those of us without giant noggins. The small noggin contingent, of which I am a proud member, is definitely the minority around here. I am amazed at the brain power that frequents this site. Good thing all you dorks are on the good side.
I wondered about it myself. But then I remembered they’d have to be have been using cookies, so they can use the blue highlighting.
Blame the EU.
GDPR (new data privacy regulation) goes into effect May 25 (so already in effect in Europe). Why does it affect Glibs.com?
I will have a ranting post about all this on Sunday at 1400 Central. Tune in then!

No, I added the cookie notice to help with compliance. While we must meet the requirements, we don’t have an email list, so I didn’t send out an email notification. Nearly everyone else will have asked for your “permission” to email you in the sign-up process. It will usually be buried someplace in the terms and conditions that nobody reads.
Now, they have to explicitly get permission and notify you of a bunch of stuff. As I said, I’ll share more info here on Sunday.
TL:DR It’s a nightmare.

Woohoo!
I find this conceptually hilarious:
Russell Crow decides that he’ll pay for his divorce by having a yard sale and selling all the crazy shit he’s blown money on over the last 2 decades.
Its millions of dollars of batshit hilarious memorabilia. its everything from fine art, historical curios, sports memorabilia, to a jock strap he once wore.
and he got the local news to help him promote it. Its very ‘Aussie man”
he’s also got a beer gut that says, “Fuck er, i’ll find me another Sheila in no time”
It’s hard to believe how long he’s been a punchline.
the best thing about that segment is how atrocious the fake-aussie accent is. it makes it funnier. they don’t even try. its sort of like the “derka derka” for ‘arabic’ in Team America.
fwiw, as much of a punchline he may be, i think he ranks among the best actors of the 1980s-now (him, daniel day lewis, gary oldman, christian bale, and few others – sadly few Americans, really)
I haven’t actually seen RC in anything… agree on DDL and GO though. Bale, enh, OK.
Fun fact: Christian Bale is Gloria Steinem’s stepson. I heard about it when the marriage happened, but only recently learned, at least according to his turncoat personal assistant, that Gloria Steinem would prattle on at the dinner table like the intellectual she fancies herself to be (she is not considered the brains of the feminist movement) until one day, Bale said, “For God’s sake woman, shut up.”
bale is really a “lifetime achievement award” for his flexibility and commitment to role, not raw talent.
between “the machinist” and the first “batman” he flipped 100lbs, and managed to make both seem very natural. American psycho was brilliant. The Fighter was great. 9:10 to Yuma was great. American hustle was good, but more notable for how fat he got. he’s the “effort” guy. He mines little bits of gold out of otherwise dogshit movies. Unlike any other actor in his position he actually goes looking for some kind of challenge.
Pretty much nails it. I’m not impressed by that stuff.
3:10 was Better
Van Heflin and Glenn Ford were great.
I have only seen American Psycho which was great. (Not a super tight capture of the book’s spirit, but not absolutely nothing to do with it, like Less Than Zero. And a great work in its own right, no matter what Ellis says.) Anyway he was indeed perfect for it and the director’s first choice (said to be the only one who remotely understood the character); after a handshake deal the studio tried to push a white-hot Leo DiCaprio, who was trying to return to meatier roles to transition away from his teen-idol phase, on her. She refused to meet with DiCaprio and got herself removed from the project for Oliver Stone, but then Stone and DiCaprio couldn’t agree and DiCaprio set off to fuck Tilda Swinton on The Beach. Bale had been turning down projects, biding his time on the hunch they’d come crawling back. And they did, restoring him and the original director.
Everybody when hearing this used to bust out laughing and think, what a fucking disaster averted with DiCaprio (and for that matter Stone). I think they think that less so now, that they’ve seen him in Wolf of Wall Street and some other meatier stuff. But when you think about it, that particular character would still have been a much poorer fit. Plus the fact that at the time he still looked like the little kid from Growing Pains.
*Clarification: they removed her from the project for Oliver Stone
never heard that before.
he (bale) crushed that shit in a way i can’t imagine DC pulling off.
i think the bale-appreciation requires being able to see how he improves all the little things on the margins of character. its his extra effort on the margins that turn otherwise banal scenes/writing into far-more-watchable moments. its not the sort of insanely brilliant home-run shots of an oldman/lewis, but its the sort of batting average that no one else comes close to.
I’m browsing the list of Bale movies and the ones that I have seen are as follows:
– American Psycho – everyone has seen that
– Equilibrium – right up my alley
– Terminator Salvation – turned it off after 30 minutes it was so meh
No interest in any of the rest AFAIK
watch “the fighter” and “The machinist”
Hmm. Well, the only other thing I have seen Bale in is Shaft where he was essentially a cocky psychotic spoiled rich kid midway between Bateman and himself, if I remember right. I am surprised to read what you say because the normal take on the Nolan Batman is that the movie was an extremely good movie, extremely well written and directed. People say Bale did a great job, but the only specific thing I hear about his acting is the “man voice” that he did even when Wayne is out of costume, that people make fun of. If anything I have heard several people say that the Burton Batman is the better Batman, even as the Nolan is the better movie. Don’t know whether that’s because Keaton made a better Batman (I do remember it was excellent) or that the character was written better in the Burton movie, in which case Bale should indeed be praised as you say.
I am quite impressed indeed with American Psycho‘s writing and directing. It didn’t produce a perfect movie by any means; but it produced a very, very good one. I would call it one of the most impressive and creative movie adaptations of a book ever made. American Psycho does not easily lend itself to adaptation by any means. It’s not like Fight Club, where you’re reading it and you’re thinking, this is the wrong genre I’m consuming it in. This is begging to be a movie. It’s very nearly the opposite. So whatever he did there was brilliant, and it completely made the movie; it would have indeed been a disaster in the hands of a less appropriate actor. But I think the master sculptor was working with a very fine piece of marble.
oh, would also include “Rescue Dawn”.
another example of a movie he pretty much invents out of nothing. its all him.
What I saw creeped the shit out of me.
Zero interest in any Batman stuff.
I will admit he was great in Psycho but holy hell it was a long time ago and I haven’t seen it in ages.
Recommend Rescue Dawn. Christian Bale and Werner Herzog.
i think Crowe is pretty magical in the roles he goes all out for. but he is best known for a run of films 1997-2003s which all got academy-noms
Recommended:
– Romper Stomper
– LA Confidential
– The Insider

American Gangster and 3:10 to Yuma* were also good, but not like anything special. just ‘good job for well-recognized actor’.
(*not 9:10)
Master and Commander, He’s excellent,,
I always wanted to see that. Is the film any good? I’m loving the Napoleonic War theme.
~its hard to talk about the M&C movie if you’ve read the books
if you’ve read the books? its entertaining (and completely shorthanded music-video version of what you wanted to see)
if you haven’t read the books? i think it fails in a variety of ways, but is otherwise still watchable entertainment, sort of like the way Blackhawk Down was, as pure “spectacle”
it is, without question, the best “age of sail” movie made in the last 40 years. they actually did it proper; built a period-correct ship, and filmed it on the ocean. but so expensive, and so much a ‘set piece’ , that no one has done another.
Hmm, I don’t do much historical novel reading, just the nonfiction; and from what I understand that is some pretty fucking heavy reading. Maybe I’ll see it anyway.
The deeply flawed Amistad was one of the most disappointing movies I have ever seen–though mostly because I was unbelievably pumped about seeing it. It wasn’t even a boat movie, but I was so traumatized by its mediocrity that I have not seen a boat movie since, just because that one was a modern-age-of-sailing movie named after a boat.
*the irony of the story…
is that it was actually based on a book about the War of 1812. the “bad guys” were actually supposed to be Americans.
the M&C movie is a great achievement in this regard = it is the best “boat movie” ever made to date.
if they got anything *perfect* it was the environment/detail of the world of the aubrey/maturin books.
which the books themselves are known for* = obsession over trivial detail, like food, clothing, smell, the jobs of every minor character, etc. the dialog between the foremast jacks and the petty officers… the fact that children of rich men were ordering conscripted thugs around, etc. that’s the magic of the books – the reality of the period
it is a fantastic film in terms of “World Recreation”. where it fails is in its ability to really fully deliver what the books do, which is probably far too complex for film. i’d give it a B+
It’s fantastic Historical fiction, very well done, i’m rereading them now. BTW Gilmore, that fortune of War quote was almost verbatim to the actual quote…O knew his shit….
The Brit twit on Comedy Central bought Russell’s groin protector from Cinderella Man and donated it to the Anchorage Blockbuster when he found out there were still Blockbusters in Alaska. (There were also two in Washington State and one in Texas.) Nearly all the other remaining ones have closed in the month since then; there’s only that one and one in Fairbanks left (along with one in Washington), so the merch has arrived just in the nick of time.
It sounds like a frank capra movie: “The jock strap that saved Smallville”
That is awesome. I wish my junk was worth a 16th of his junk. *that is NOT a jock strap joke

Is the Hat ever going to have adventures with other famous headgear? Like Michael Moore’s hat or the Pope’s hat? Or the turban of Khamenei? How does the Jacket fit into this?
So many possibilities. Has all of history been secretly controlled by hats and other headgear? What if the Whig Party was *really* a wig party? Did the wigs of Louis XVI and his courtiers secretly guide the French Revolution?
Is there a connection between Lincoln’s hat and the MAGA hat?
Time to break out the red yarn and push pins- I smell a conspiracy!
Obligatory.
And might an even more sinister chapeau have been watching all that has transpired this whole time?
Wait, the Pope’s mitre or Popehat?
Hasn’t Popehat been going a little nuts lately?
Also, I always wonder why we associate miters with popes in the popular imagination. Every bishop wears one.
Why do miter boxes get a bad rap? If you screw up your cut it’s only you to blame. It’s idiot proof.
I can’t imagine what it could possibly be. Do people say real men don’t use miter boxes or something?

Four pork butts just went to bed in the smoker. They’ll get wrapped and frozen in the morning for a family reunion next weekend. The patio smells lovely.
What kind of animal has its butt on the front legs? This is perverse. Yet another thing (((they))) seem to know that we don’t?
According to an article I read today, you’re gonna die soon.
If not from the cancer then from the reunion. The overwhelming majority of homicide victims die at the hands of someone they know, and family is first on that line.
Yep. Especially since I’m going to add ten pounds of sausage over the weekend. And I’m going to be drinking while I make sausage and all next weekend at the reunion. I will probably be dead around the 5th of June.

This reminds me of an episode of the TMZ television program that used to be on. The editors were riding each other, as they do, for various things. I think one, the most sweet-natured and sane one, joked that another’s dog was low-class or something. Then another editor said, “She should talk. Her cat had an abortion.” But she insisted that it was OK, as she had consulted with a priest about the matter. There is really no reason to think she was not being serious.
A “priest”? What, a voodoo priest? The TMZ folks are a special breed*.
*of what, I don’t know
Hamilton Nolan, the author of that “Obama Sucks as a Post-President” Gawker Group piece from the morning links (ie. for not “saving us from banana republicanism”), has a difficult confession.
Let me guess, he signed up just to protest.
The progs have been long been talking about the idea of joining up en masse to vote the leadership out of office. It’s one of their oldest ideas; it goes back to the first Bush administration. I wonder why they’ve never done it.
And here I was presuming it was gonna be a confession of him wanting O to suck him.
Seeing those comments drives home the realization that, soon, those people are going to be saying the same thing about all other civil liberty orgs. Not criticizing various stances, but flat-out hating them for daring to (try to) protect other rights that the idiots just can’t grok.
Those pesky individual liberties are all that are preventing utopia
I wonder if Meryl ever realized the irony of this, coming form her
I very much doubt it. Reminds me of my oldest sister. “people make wrong choices but my superior intellect lets me to know how they should live their lives” I fondly remember the look of disgust on my sisters’ faces when their husbands were enjoying shooting one of my rifles.
One of my biggest regrets is that I have done that (in my own way), too, and that it can be so easy to fall into.
The hope being that, if I can correct it, others* could, too. Of course, it seems like a lost cause when you see the anti-NRA/hoplophobe shit.
I always hated seeing people use the word “sheeple” in online comments, but, damn if they weren’t on to something.
*not Streep, though. Piss on her.
It is an easy trap to fall into and most likely we all do it to some extent. The big difference is if one desires to use the power of the state to control the decisions of others.
I have found peoples feeling toward private gun ownership a litmus test on how they perceive their fellow man.
I know sheeple is supposed to apply to the general population but I think it better describes the screaming progressives (and the ones that aren’t screaming)
Amen!
And considering her portrayal of Lindy Chamberlain in A Cry in the Night, you’d think she’d know about miscarriages of justice and malicious prosecution too.
Er, A Cry in the Dark. And I keep using the B instead of STRONG tags. 🙁
LIFE IN THE FIRST WORLD

Rock on Glibs!
OT: Found out that my job function is getting moved to another state. Fortunately, the manager had put a hiring freeze on other departments at this location and said we can either interview for new positions or take a severance package (one of my less-liked co-workers asked if she can get unemployment if she takes the severance package, then spent the rest of the night literally dancing and snapping her fingers over the prospect of “sitting on my ass for a few months”. I knew she was a fucking worthless bum from her piss-poor job performance, and this display just reinforced that).
It just bums me out because I actually liked this job. Every previous job has had me dreading the start of every new day, and the misery often followed me home at the end of the shift and poisoned my whole life.
Oh well, it’s a new chapter. It seems like this company is a pretty good place to work regardless of department, so it’ll be fine (besides, if I can work at the women’s prison, I can work fucking anywhere). The advancement opportunities are probably better in other departments, anyway. My job was a highly specialized function that probably wouldn’t be useful in any other job, but I’m still going to look back on these past few months as “the good old days”.
In a “Community Corrections” class I took many moons ago, I heard quite a few COs, at various jails/prisons, make similar comments. I understood it on an intellectual level, but didn’t really get it, until working in a city jail. I can just imagine how that is, although I heard plenty of stories in that class.
