War on Men

I'm sorry for attacking your happiness, I try to avoid that - yes, I actually do try to stop myself from saying things that are likely to upset people, and yes, some of it (lots?) slips through.

Not a big fan of hugs. And I'm sorry for that too. I recommend hugging someone else.

"... not concerned about appearance, not considerate of others ..." OTOH I could spin this another way. Not concerned about trivialities, and able to grasp the essentials better. In this instance, it seems to me it depends on the narrative you put on it.

And when NOT to - I've only ever brought out "The Stick" (as in what the property manager calls "Scary Mode") three times, and she got to watch two of em, the second being some religious zealot who would not LEAVE and made the mistake of pulling his schtick while I was in the office paying rent...
He LEFT, oh yes he did... I think it scared her worse when I started giggling as he highstepped it down the road after I was done mortifyin him.

Anyhows, the whole application thing, and WHY he never read it, will amuse you.

See, here's how that went, really - I started out as a merc subbing for another security company which wanted the contract, but didn't have no one else on this end of town to fill it, you see, so they fronted it off to me and took a cut, which was ok for the time since driving a cab had fallen through thanks to Englers sabotage and crazy fuel prices, see ?

And having broke up with my ex and wanting to get the hell out of the way so she could marry the dude I was completely down with her marrying - I moved into Site Three.
Seriously, I LIKE the guy, and he has the emotional depth and connection I could never give the poor girl, so I am kinda defaulted to brother-in-law, which so works... hell, I'm the one teaching him how to drive a car, fer cryin out loud.

The owner of this place was REAL skeptical when he did the background for the rental app, see I have more than one legal name, due to family issues I won't go into, and that's not unlawful without intent to defraud, but anyhows he was suspicious as hell, guy comes out of nowhere, no credit history, no background info, no proof of even EXISTENCE, but he let it go since the property manager pointed out I really did a good job of the work, and a COMPLETE job, not just on-the-clock minimum, but eyeballing local crime trends, intimidating local yahoos, the whole works.

Now, previously, the services they hired were unreliable as hell, wouldn't show up, wouldn't DO the damn job, nothing but a pain in the ass, and thus already suspicious, he started to wonder about whether I was actually doing the job or just rigging the punch clock or something, and so he'd sweep through here during that time and try to catch me out - only he NEVER, EVER saw me, never not once.
And EVERY time, I flagged his car, timestamped it and (just to be a smartass) threw in a description of what he was wearing on top of that.

So, week and a half of that, he finds out from the property manager, who he'd intended to bitch to about me being a no-show, and craps a brick... "So we have a pet ninja?", and this combined with a few rumors and that whole no-background he got the idea I might be a retired intel goon, which is not TOO far from the truth, and trying to convince him otherwise would be futile.

Well, said company pulled one too many fast ones, like trying to overbill repeatedly, no-showing court dates (and *I* did show, and he paid me himself for that when they failed to), and finally on the fourth of July sending a backup guard who managed to so COMPLETELY offend the property manager she demanded he remove himself from the property, and when he refused, she AND the manager of that company called me on both phones to then physically EJECT him if necessary, and I chased him outta there all but pissing himself in terror - it's one of only three times the property manager has ever seen me pull out the scary, and that was the first one, hooo boy.

Shortly after that, the owner of this place voided their contract, and cut a deal with me personally, and THAT mini-company blew up on us when half the crew wanted to go work for TSA/DepHomeSec, thinking my refusal was r

That, right there.
THAT, is often the entire bloody REASON I do nice things for people, so that they HAVE those happy moments to lift them up and comfort them when the world looks so dark.
And sometimes I'll take that pretty far - remember the dollhouse I built, yes ?

Hello,

I remember.

Strange thing about that.

The moments of joy we create for others has an insidious way of also becoming our own.
