I totally agree!\u00a0 I personally don\\&#8217;t care who you are, where your from, what your skin color is blah blah blah.\u00a0 That means nothing to me, however it really gets my panties in a knot when people use the whole \\&#8221;in my country\\&#8221; shit.\u00a0 Fuck you, THIS IS CANADA!\u00a0 Deal with it, or quite simply go back to wherever your country is where that BS is acceptable, it however doesn\\&#8217;t fly here.<\/p>\n<p>Prime example, when I worked at the university we had tons of international students because of certain laws set forth if you were in fact an international student; you had to work at\/for the university.\u00a0 So this one snotty brat from ******** was asked to do some dishes, he pointedly said to his superior and I quote:\\&#8221;I will do no such thing, <em>in my country<\/em> that\\&#8217;s woman\\&#8217;s work\\&#8221; Excuse me?\u00a0 So yeah needless to say he was terminated.\u00a0 So today we have a new guy come in from the same country.\u00a0 He asked me if the chicken needed to be sliced and portioned, I was on my way out and its not my job to train this little bastards so I said sure go ahead.\u00a0 Then he says to me:\\&#8221; Get me a container to put this in\\&#8221;\u00a0 Excuse me?\u00a0 Or more like excuse you!\u00a0 Where are your fucking manners you ignorant prick?\u00a0 First of all, I\\&#8217;m higher up on the totem pole then you WILL EVER be, secondly, you DON\\&#8217;T EVER talk to me like that.\u00a0 So I made a point of saying:\\&#8221;They\\&#8217;re over there, get one YOURSELF\\&#8221; he did so in a huff and proceeded to glare at me the entire time I was there.\u00a0 Let me tell you something kid, I wear the pants in that kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, D\\&#8217;s showing him around and says \\&#8217;M will be in soon so just hang out and see what goes on as I was 10 mins away from leaving.\u00a0 So he says oh there\\&#8217;s no need I\\&#8217;ve been cooking for 4 years now so it\\&#8217;ll be easy for me.\u00a0 I just need to know what\\&#8217;s what and I\\&#8217;ll be fine.\u00a0 Four years eh?\u00a0 Well I got news for you, I\\&#8217;ve been doing it for SIXTEEN years.\u00a0 So obnoxious!\u00a0 So I of course while waiting to meet someone at the Cafe next door went out of my way to be as offensive and obnoxious as possible.\u00a0 Needless to say Friday is going to be a REAL treat since I\\&#8217;M the one who\\&#8217;s working both Friday &amp; Saturday night, therefore I\\&#8217;M IN CHARGE can\\&#8217;t wait!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I bit the bullet and contacted Jason\\&#8217;s family with my intentions.\u00a0\u00a0 Its something I\\&#8217;ve been meaning to do for a while but I\\&#8217;ve been hesitant to do so because really who am I to decide when its OK to hone in on someone\\&#8217;s grief?\u00a0 I can only hope that the end result is positive [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,4,6,22,40,14,5,45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jason","category-life-as-i-know-it","category-politically-incorrect","category-random-rant","category-wrong","category-totally-tasteless","category-work","category-what-the-fuck"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
