So this jackass who used to work at my job and basically tried to treat everyone like his flunkies (he even went on record saying he wanted to be a boss like Meryl Streep in Devil Wears Prada) applied for the Manager position and didn't get it (thank God, because I would've quit before I worked for him) and then got all pissy and eventually decided to quit and take a managerial position with another company right before our busiest time of the year last year.....decided to come visit today.

You have no idea how annoying it was to hear his obnoxious voice and listen to him go on and on about himself, befouling the air with his self-indulgent bullshit. This is a man who tested my so-called liberal attitudes to their fullest (he is a gay man) and regularly said insulting things to people who are NICE TO EVERYONE. I understand (a little)why he is so full of himself and obnoxious...because he comes from a country where homosexuals are executed....and let's face it, there are parts of this country he'll never be able to go to...but the same is true for many people, and they aren't assholes with an inflated sense of entitlement.

So I basically ignored him. I'm sure that did more damage than saying what I wanted to say which was "Why the fuck are you back here after only a few months? Isn't that like the lame kids who visit their high school only a few months after they graduate? Fuck off!" This is someone who has to always be the center of attention and get the last word. The main reason I wore my headphones all the time was to shut out his incessant talk about himself and his dogs and how great he clearly thought he was.

I was once accused by him of "ignoring my co-workers and being in the zone." No, just you, fuckface, just you.

I'm getting really tired of my job, can you tell? The people in supposedly higher positions spend the entire day talking. I swear they never shut the fuck up. How the hell do they get anything done? The only difference between them and me is a degree, right? I really feel like I need more, and this bastard is just a reminder that even obnoxious shitheads move up the ladder.

There's the truth. I had a shot and I blew my interview, and while I'm glad I didn't get promoted to the job I tried for, I should have. I'm not just angry at them, I'm angry at myself and it's not helping anything.

So all my misanthropic ranting, while needed....just doesn't solve the problem.

I'm giving up on Loyola. I have to constantly contact them to find out what the hell is going on. I'm going to focus my attention on Northwestern and hope that bears fruit. At least they're walking distance away.

I really do hate that guy. I need to get over my animosity because it's poison, but I will never be friendly to him. I was cordial when he worked here, but I have no interest now.

Not the way to start the week.

At least I finished all my taxes.
