It never ceases to amaze me how life challenges who we are and whether or not we truly are, who we think, we are.
As you saw over the course of the last 3-weeks. I've been doing a lot of 24-hour shifts at the dayjob and coming back ungodly late and then having to head out ungodly early afterwards.
It has caused me to have to adjust certain things and flat out DROP others.
Last week the dayjob had yet another situation where we are used as a BAIT by the client. Where the client doesn't actually directly address things the way that they need to or should, and that, is their issue, however?
Because of their tactics it sometimes complicates our lives and ability to do our jobs, it happens. But when something major takes place there are times that additional people, people normally NOT ASSIGNED to the client.
Have to be brought in.
And this is how my art supplies got stolen.
Now?
The irony of ironies is that last week Wednesday I decided to restock My Prismacolors and Microns that needed to be restocked. I also decided to get some new mechanical pencils.
This of course would prove to be way more wiser than I'd ever intended.
Once again.
I leave out on Thursday expecting to come back Friday and really get into finishing Shaquita-Star, FINALLY!
I started her ass JUNE 2ND!
And finished drawing her JUNE 3RD!
When I did that overnight shift after working straight through on MY NORMAL SHIFT!
So I was dead tired and as you know I'd literally been at work 24-hours and ended up sleeping THE ENTIRE FUCKIN WEEKEND!
And for those of you who still think I'm bullshitting about Stacey...?
Like I told you before when I'd disappeared THAT WEEKEND.
Her Android Google Searches SKYROCKETED!
Since that time when I'd confirmed that I'm fine?
It's at 2.
HA!
And has pretty much stayed AT 2 ever since.
But, you know, yeah.
This is why I kept telling you as readers, don't waste your time LYING TO OTHERS ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL.
You can't get TIME back.
And that ties into this post.
Because INITIALLY I WAS SUPPOSED TO TRAIN THE FOOL WHO STOLE FROM ME!
Isn't THAT IRONIC.
But without warning that time was taken away from me, which would also be IRONIC because of what ended up happening in the end.
The Fool who stole from me was an EASY-TO-READ WEEDHEAD.
Pothead, whatever the fuck you call fools who burn their entire fuckin paychecks on smokin weed like dumb-asses.
But I could tell he was gonna be trouble because of his stupid ass behavior.
But instead of me stepping up and saying something right then and there, hey!?
I got my ass on the shuttlebus and left!
I went straight down to Blicks and bought some more markers and such and went home....
Came in the next day...?
His first theft stood out like a sore thumb.
He'd stolen My Metal Triangle, Gay Weedheaded-Bastard!
I'd had My Metal Triangle sitting in one of My Plastic Prismacolor Cup-Holders, proppin up THIS PICTURE;
Well he pilfered the triangle and of course the picture of Kanesha Scargill was hanging over. So at first I said to myself, well I'll be damned...! Bastard stole My Triangle.
Then I found out he also stole one of My Good Pens.
-_-
Okay.
All right.
No big deal.
Just My Metal Triangle and a Good Pen, fine.
-_-
Now you know shit doesn't end there, right.
So I go and inform My Worksite Supervisor.
I won't even get into the fact that the asshole stole My Metal Triangle because he used the sharp edges TO CUT OPEN HIS FUCKIN BLUNTS SO HE COULD STUFF HIS WEED IN THEM AND SMOKE THEM SHITS WHILE ON FUCKIN DUTY!!!!!!!!!!
>_<
Yeah.
But Weed is HARMLESS, right?
Till YOUR ASS BECOMES ADDICTED TO IT!
Which is a SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR US in Our Community.
Weed has become an ESCAPISM for too many of Us.
But wait...?
THERE'S MORE.
I didn't figure out till nearly 4:30pm that the LITTLE BASTARD HAD STOLEN MY ENTIRE FUCKIN CARRYING CASE OF FUCKIN PRISMACOLOR MARKERS!!!!!!!
He also made off with the markers that were sitting INSIDE THE CASE!!!!!
Add to HIS THEFT the fact that HE STOLE a hand-built carrying case for micron pens that Dan's dumb-ass had made for me.
Of course since this bastard is a weedhead I already knew he stole the case so he could put HIS WEED IN IT!
When he stole the case he also stole THE MICRON PENS IN IT AND MY NO LONGER ON THE MARKET MECHANICAL PENCIL THAT I'D HAD SINCE THE GODDAMN LATE 90'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>_<
Now!?
I'M PISSED!
All the artwork you've ever seen WAS DRAWN WITH THAT MECHANICAL PENCIL AND THEY DON'T MAKE THAT TYPE ANY FUCKIN MORE!!!!!!!!!
So the irony is that had I have TRAINED THIS THIEF.
Like I was SCHEDULED TO DO ORIGINALLY?
This WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED, BUT!?
Sommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmebody decided TO STEAL MY HOURSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Wasn't that cute.
Meanwhile YOU KNOW that I KNOW THIS, now DON'T YOU.
Of course you do.
Of course you fuckin do.
So aside from losing 2-hours of OT.
I also lost....
$250+ DOLLARS WORTH OF SHIT!
Now...?
Notice.
We're into the 8pm EST hour ON MONDAY. June 12th 2017.
The Theft took place on June 8th-thru-9th during the workshift of 5pm EST to 1am EST June 9th 2017.
Somewhere within that time span, most likely just before the Thief's relief came on duty, the Thief, stole my property.
Thankfully he did not destroy any of the artwork there nor the writings in the binders he used to PROP UP where My Marker Case USED TO BE.
So in case you're wondering HOW I MISSED My Marker CASE being stolen, HE USED A BUNCH OF MY BLACK BINDERS STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE MY CASE WAS UNDERNEATH THEM, like it'd been prior to me leaving. Which means he DUG THROUGH MY SHIT TO FIND THE CASE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
So he was A GOOD THIEF.
Just NOT A SMART ONE.
Because everyone else had already been up and around and IN My Workspace AND NEVER STOLEN OR BOTHERED ANYTHING, except. For Him.
Now, like I typed, why am I just talking about this NOW?
Because initially I was going to do something that was just going to be way out of bounds.
But then I realized and looked at everything and settled down.
#1) This person already had a suspect record, yet, mysteriously, as usual. Whites love to keep Niggers around so that they become justification for "Why We don't hire Blacks" or "Why Blacks are so inferior and lazy and bad workers".
Trash like the Gay Weedhead, are tools for White Supremacy to then use as JUSTIFICATION to keep Black People out or to control upward mobility and the like.
And it dawned on me that this disgrace was kept around strictly for that purpose.
#2) I need to FOCUS MORE ON MY OWN BUSINESS. You see, had I have become SELF-SUFFICIENT with Williams Works by now, then? I wouldn't have been there to have my property stolen from Me, now would I.
It's just that simple.
Now, THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE OR ABSOLVE THOSE WHO CREATED AND ALLOWED THIS SITUATION TO HAPPEN, BUT!?
This was what I ended up saying to the Worksite Supervisor and it is what allowed me to not go above and beyond and really get out of hand and do something irrational and ultimately stupid to some Young Dumb Fool where WHAT HE DID...?
He's not going anywhere.
Look at the climate We're in as Black Americans.
Only a Fool would steal from coworkers when the Tide of Anti-Black Bigotry IS UNGODLY HIGH!
Losing Your Job, with NO MEANS TO REPLACE YOUR INCOME WITH SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN...!?
Is SUICIDAL.
To be completely honest...?
I felt sorry for that fool.
He is going to EVENTUALLY, be the cause of His Own Demise, doing dumb shit like that.
And to be even more honest I thought about the fact of whether or not he even has a Father and it made me think about My Own Son.
My PRIORITY.
After travelling ALL THIS DISTANCE.
Is to get back TO MY SON.
When I thought about THOSE THINGS.
And the IRONIC FACT that I'd just spent Wednesday and Thursday.
Buying new supplies.
Do I have to replace a lot of things, yes.
The Gay Weedhead-Bastard made off with all of my Black Skintone Markers.
From sand to sepia, about 12-markers that covered the full-range of Black Skintones.
But then I said to Myself, wow.
He was willing to risk a steady income.
For $250+ worth of markers that He could have BOUGHT HIMSELF, and worse?
He coulda asked me.
Believe it or not I thought about a lot of things and I simply said that I'm going to report this to My Worksite Supervisor.
Let Him and the Account Manager handle this, for now.
But PRIMARILY?
Focus on Williams Works.
And MOVE ON.
And you know what...?
I had a pretty content weekend.
I didn't dwell on it.
And I focused on working.
The funny thing is that if that Fool would have asked me for some of them...?
I'd have gave him some of my art supplies....
