Born to be a bastard

Have you ever had one of those days?

You know the ones... From the very second you wake up you get the feeling that some bastard has it in for you. Maybe its karma. Many things in life piss me off and it just becomes part of life but nothing more so than being rudely awakened. For three weeks now my wonderful(shitbox) student home has been randomly springing leaks. leaks usually always around electrical equipment. Not really bothered by this I went about my daily routine... eat, sleep, work, sleep and a once or twice weekly visit to college. But this seemed to piss the karma gods off and they decided that this weeks leak was to be located in the fire alarm. Thus causing it to fry itself. The resulting alarm was louder and more irritating than jade goody on crack.

I was awake. I fucking hate awake. But a shift at work loomed so I decided to go ahead with my day. All be it with a pissy mood on, and as my mother would say, a head like a slapped arse. I pushed on. Arriving at work a typical 30 seconds late incurring yet another 15 minute lateness penalty things were looking lovely.

Being a student the options for part time employ are not the most wide ranging. I like many have found myself in the hospitality industry, not really by choice but by the necessity to eat. Recently my employer decided to bring back its old head chef for reasons unknown. Great I said... no more half cooked food or bad fucking manners from that other poor excuse for a cooker jockey. This guy was good, the best apparently. Today was my turn to discover his other quality. Meeting him I had discovered that all storied of brilliance were self fabricated lies and to be honest the guy has one hell of an ego.

What is it about chefs, or more so, this particular bastard that makes them think that they can be how they like with other members of staff. In the space of a small shift I managed to argue with the guy twice. Needless to say I was angry. Arriving home I discovered our fire alarm, still making noise, still annoying everyone.

What the fuck have I done to deserve this? I must burn my porn and become a moral man... Fuck that.. Ghandi was moral, he got shot. Lucky for me I know of one guy who will have a worse day than me tomorrow... my landlord
