The Badge Nazi

I should have known that my day would be a total suck fest. The workday started with me being late for work and then getting hassled by the Badge Nazi, literally the minute I walked into my office. This woman, as far as I can tell, has a job with the sole purpose of trolling around the facility catching people not wearing their name badges, and then being snotty and condescending to them while she tallies the offense in her reports. No, I wasn't wearing my badge. It was in my hand, since I had just walked in. I hadn't even had a chance to hang my coat up and log into my workstation. Sigh. And then things took a turn for the worse. I won't bore you with the details. I'm mighty happy to be home, even though the commute was a drag and Silvio had done some extracurricular peeing during the day. At least I don't have to worry about the Badge Nazi. Until tomorrow.

You didn't hold out the badge with your arm sticking straight at her like a European peasant warding off a vampire?

I would have told her to get bent...

That is all.

Dave - Nah, she isn't worth the effort.

LL - on the inside, sure. I was mentally ripping her a new one. But on the outside, total serenity.

I really hate people like that. Its one of those things where you want to extract revenge to nail her on something. Or at least make sure there is no toilet paper when she has to use the bathroom.
