Asshole, thy name is.... can't say

There is a major asshole in the building where I work.

We all have them. They come in all shapes and sizes. They're assholes because they just don't seem to get that other people in the world are... well, people. People that have problems and worries, hopes and cares, feelings and opinions. Assholes concern themselves with none of this. It's all about them.
With not a care about how your weekend was, they will go no and on about their weekend.... in great detail. Twenty five minutes into their diatribe, they won't even notice that you are jamming a pencil into your own eye socket to try to distract them.
Or, without so much as a "Good morning", they will let you know how bad you are doing your job and why they are suffering for it.
Or, maybe they just feel that whatever it is that's going on in their lives is so much more important than anything you could be going through.
Whatever the case..... they're assholes.

I cannot go into great detail about the asshole at my work. I'm in the media. The asshole in question is also a member of the media. Radio, specifically. And if I were to out this person, it could come back to haunt me. Bakersfield is not a very big town. And if I were to let it out that a morning DJ in this market has an ego that is WAY out of control, it could be bad. Saying that this person is a bully might have repercussions. Suggesting that said asshole is a misogynistic, loudmouth, that couldn't think his way out of a paper bag, might get me in trouble.
But, you know, I have to say that his on air talent is only surpassed by his stunning good looks. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I'll always give credit where credit is due.
Besides, lots a people listen to his show. I didn't realize that contemporary hip/hop-R&B was that popular. Shows what I know.

Keep in mind that the fiction I have written here is just that.... fiction.

I was thinking about how great most of the people I work with are. And that one bad apple does not spoil the whole barrel. If there was a bad apple.... that was an asshole.


On a movie note..... just saw a great martial arts film last night. It was called "Romeo Must Die". Check it out.
