Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Candor

 My first weekend of the week begins today.  I'm pleased.  The sun is shining.  The temps are predicted to climb into the upper 70's with low humidity, so I'll be spending some time outside.  Thanks to the rain we've had my lawn needs a mowing which will happen either today or tomorrow.

I lost my temper at work yesterday with an associate.  Most of the time I can hold my tongue, but there are instances...  Me and another associate were discussing the million lives lost to Covid, when another part-time associate spoke up saying "well, they didn't need to die.  Doctors had all these modifications, vitamins and treatments that would have saved lives and the government wouldn't let them."  Is that statement enough to let you know she's a Fauci hating MAGA?  And, of course, I'm at the point where I've had it up to my earlobes with shit like this, so I let loose... sort of.  I said, "shut up you stupid, old bitch."  She didn't take that lightly and retorted.  "You probably voted for Biden."  She also said Covid wasn't that bad because she didn't get it.  Rather than resort to fisticuffs, we ended the conversation.  

Later, knowing I shouldn't have lost my temper, I approached her and said, "I apologize for my candor," knowing full well she had no idea of the definition.


Today is primary day in Pennsylvania.  Tra-la-la-la-la.  The Republican bloodletting is about to begin... or, since it is nearly 0800, has already begun.  Doug Mastriano, a state senator who marched in Washington on Jan 6, will probably be the Republican nominee for Governor.  There is a horse race for the Republican nominee to replace that loser, Pat Twomey.  Too Close to Call.  Barrnett has said that if she doesn't get it, she will not support the candidate that does.  Now, how is that for being a team player.  Both she and Mastriano are considered unelectable.  The GOP is beside themselves. Perhaps if their candidates had more candor, instead they proffer the public nothing more than lies and deceit.

  1. I'm hoping Barrnett gets the nod because 1- it will piss off Oz and the dump, and 2-Fetterman will bury her in the general. But she makes me want to puke. I'm dying to rip that weave off.

    1. She's already said if she doesn't get the nomination, she's not going to support the candidate that does, and a lot of crazies love her.

  2. You really said that? These days you cannot look at a woman at work without getting taken to human resources.

    1. I wasn't threatening, just stating a fact: she's older than I am, and she was hired to be a cashier, only she can't understand the register, so they use her as a greeter or to do aisle maintenance.

  3. Oh you did a Divergent quote? Dave, who knew? And what that cow probably didn't say is that she's vaccinated. So much for vitamins and horse paste.
    And I can't wait until all the repugs fight to the death. They have no platform, just talking points. And hatred.

    XOXO

    1. She is not vaccinated and bragged about not getting Covid, she thinks it's a lie.

  4. Candor, huh? She was probably wondering why you would apologize for your big ol' bird of prey. Or that you somehow gave her the bird verbally. Yeah, I know it's condor, but I'm not an idiot.

    1. You are very astute! and there was a few second pause before she repeated 'candor,' so you may be right. To give you an idea of her intellect, she was hired as a cashier but was moved to a greeter position because cashiering was way too complicated.

  5. I hope to hear a GOP implosion.

    1. Because a number of states are like Pennsylvania, where you can only vote for along party lines, that implosion will not happen until November.

  6. Ewww punch up in aisle 5! But well done you for apologizing all the same. I've had to do that on occasion, not because of what I said but because of the way I said it! And my gardener just showed up and is making short work of three weeks worth of grass, so lucky me!

    1. I did apologize, but as a smartass. And I'll head out this afternoon to do my lawn, it's not that large.
