July 10th 2015

Found out today that (redacted) is now in charge of what Mismanagement was suppose to be doing. This makes sense since (redacted) did everything anyway, and now it’s official. She’s also a lot chipper now, I just hope she doesn’t get corrupt with power like other black women that get a shred of responsibility in this city.

I know what you must be thinking; no I do not intend to start talking to her just because she’s got more power than all of the assholes (sans Knucklehead). I am not a kiss-ass. I do not really like drinking with her still. Mismanagement is constantly on the radio just to let us know she’s still around. She even got on the radio to let base know that (redacted) and Buckwheat had audio tours. I suppose she does have the time to “train” the new guards between looking for trouble and watching cat videos. Still audio tours are not radio call worthy. Half the time it’s like she forgets she’s not the Manager anymore, and makes radio calls that are not to be answered anyway.

At one point she forgot what she was going to say.

“Mismanagement to base.”

“This is base go ahead.”

Then there was a bit of silence for a couple minutes.

“Base to Mismanagement?”

Then she replied back like she never called them earlier. “This is Mismanagement go ahead.”

“Uhh we’re still waiting for your message…”

And that was the end of the radio conversation. She got back at (redacted) though. He kept calling her for some reason at New Entrance. She never replied back. God only knows why, maybe he heard a rat fart in the AC vent or something. 

July 9th 2015

Apparently July 4^th went off smoothly, rainy but boring. That is the kind of day I would not mind working if it was not a federal holiday. My trip to Chicago was great, but not as great as I thought it would be. For personal, and semi-professional, reasons I won’t go into it. However I can say that compared to Home Town it really has it’s shit together. I felt bad coming back to the piss stained walls of public bathrooms and disorganized public transportation.

With all that said there have been some changes since I have been gone. Mismanagement's “office” has been moved to the basement of the staff building. We went on one of her little field trips there. She has to wear a uniform now too. I hadn’t noticed before just how badly she tries to get our attention or start a conversation. This morning she kept thinking out loud and couldn’t decide what she was doing. I pretty much told her to piss off by saying “well we will meet you up there at 9:30”, repeating her instruction for everyone to meet her in the Loading Dock at that time. Everyone laughed and she got the hint.

Do not take that the wrong way, I am far from being the people’s champion. I already found it pathetic how she did not do anything, but it’s brutally obvious now. She wanders around like Predator looking for both trouble and to remind everyone she still exits. Today she came up to the 4^th Floor and tried to pick a fight. I was writing in my notepad, like I am doing now, and tried to pin a cell phone usage on me. The look on her face, when she saw it was a notepad, was precious but she did not back down. She replied “Are you sure? I hear a noise.” Someone had started playing the info video screen, and there were a bunch of kids on tour in the gallery. I pointed this out to her. To which she replied “hmmm are you sure?” I said “well I’m not in YOUR head.” Ok maybe I didn’t say that last thing, but I was thinking it. She still walked off defeated one way or the other.

The other piece of news is that Reggie quit Wednesday. No one really knows why, but he told me he was going to. I am just shocked that it happened so sudden. I guess after Mismanagement’s demotion there’s no need to fight left. 

June 25th 2015

June 25^th, 2015: I am posted on the 3^rd Floor today and Mismanagement swapped my 12PM break for Sticks. Its ok though cause today I noticed karma has one hell of a way of crapping on this corrupt shithole. I discovered two things today; big news type of things! First the café got shut down for health code violations. It would make sense because their food (if you can call it that) was horrible. Even the coffee was overpriced and bland. Don’t know if I mentioned this before but Shannon was obviously involved in the Kelly thing (and as I mentioned she was fucking Predator) Funny how it happened after I told her about it, and after my meeting with Uncle Tom.

The other [second] piece of news is Mismanagement is getting demoted. Well this is actually a mixed bag. Depending on how you look at it (and there’s plenty of that here). Essentially in the meeting, with Knucklehead, Uncle Tom, and a couple other officers (in the breakroom), he said that Mismanagement would no longer be Assistant Manager, but would instead be a Supervisor that everyone would still report to, BUT this new position would basically do all of the things Mismanagement was never doing anyway.

So one way to look at it is Mismanagement justifiably got knocked down a few pegs. Losing some of her bullshit “duties” and has been put in a spot where she might quit out of frustration. She was always useless so now it’s official. The other way of looking at it is the obvious “Wait doesn’t that mean there’s yet another boss to report to?” Technically yes, but Knuclehead and Tom's logic has us reporting to Mismanagement (which we never did anyway) and that this new person will only report to them directly. Almost like a new special office rather than someone in charge of personnel.

Mismanagement has been laying low ever since this morning, I wonder how she handled it. Her boy Predator is not talking, and I hope he does not try to apply for the job. I don’t think they would let him since he’s on P.I.P. His hair looked even more girly than usual. It’s like he curled his dreads, fuck sake. Anyway this whole day I have been smiling. The way Uncle Tom smiled and nodded it’s like he was saying “no need to sue, I got this!” Fuck yeah! The Assisstant Director must not be happy about any of this, or just doesn’t like up-beat attitudes. She’s not quick on conversation either. Asked how she was doing, got no reply, so told her mine was great. “Yeah good for you" she replied with a grumble as I put on my shades. Haha!

Though it was a cloudy day so I took them off around the corner.... Still this is great! All the right people are pissed and I think this is all because of their bullshit from a couple months ago. This IS better than a lawsuit. Instead of money I have a boost of morale, but I will try not to develop a hero complex. Otherwise I would be no better than Knucklehead.

Anti Social Attitudes ARE A Bad Thing But...

With the quality of idiots that come into this place, and the ones I work for, it’s easy to lose faith in humanity. As a security guard you are much better off keeping to yourself and let guests flock to you for help. Your day will go by a lot smoother and you’ll be to keep the thoughts of Darwinism at bay.

Even when you do help guests expect for it not to go anywhere. The dumb bastards will just forgot everything you said so don’t waste your breath. Being in Security is also a thankless job so just concentrate on the paycheck.
