Kit's Kitty Korner [2 to 30!]

Also had JW visit the other day, judging by the back door left open and the pamphlet
Pamphlet: looked at long enough for the source
Back door: now locked when I'm asleep/not there because I do not need that shit again
Also gotta get stuff that JW are trained to avoid outside and by the windows so I don't chance them waking me up. I'd rather they avoid the house entire than have to deal with them while being forced awake because then I'd be really rude

Put up a no trespassing sign. Lock your doors in any case!

[Kitalpha Hart]

No soliciting sign. Specifically one that says that if you knock on my door you agree to the terms of which the knocker is paying me some ridiculously high fee for my time
Or a Church of Fuckery sign

[galled]

Trespassing is legally enforceable.

Lock your doors!

Even bears can open doors.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Don't really have a bear problem
Unless you're in town. The bears prefer to be in town for some reason

[galled]

Oh, that's easy... food!

[Kitalpha Hart]

Makes sense

Also had a mandate today
Had a lot of connected shenanigans
First, my one coworker who had one hell of a week last week (left early Wednesday because his kid fell off the bed and cracked their head open so he had to watch the other kid as his wife took the hurt one to the hospital. Three stitches. And then forgot to take his seizure meds on Friday and had one at work so left early via ambulance) was looking for the head of HR because he was acting as supervisor and couldn't find him
I'm at my locker, changing to my work boots, but before he got up to me, my lead ended up intercepting and pointing the guy to the super's cube
After he left, my lead made a comment about the guy being lost and not finding anything to me in a rather condescending tone and look on his face. I looked at him and went "it's his second week," which had an awkward look and an "oh" that was also a very different tone. Then he went into the print shop
I finished changing into my work boots and went into the break room because too early by a couple minutes to head out to see where I was that day. Not a line, just my area overall mandated. Lead comes in with a reel of stickers, puts it on the counter, and then leaves out the other door for the bathrooms
Then it was time to see where I was assigned. Naturally, I grabbed the reel as well, and left before he was out. Kekeke
Put it on his desk, saw that first was still on the board, talked to the new QC for a bit to pass the time for lead to come over and change the board from first to second
As he's doing so, I go over and give him a hug. He asks me where the sticker are. "On your desk." Because while I'm sure I could've put them somewhere else, nah. So, in a tone that was very much not serious, he says "I'm gonna kick you in the ass," to which I'm a neutral "okay."
So he goes "I said kick you in the ass, not lick you in the ass." To which I repeat the neutral okay, and he starts laughing before telling me I'm in the corner
I have anxiety. Like I've been diagnosed with GAD have it. So naturally, I normally overthink shit I've said. Rarely I overthink what someone else said
Brain got stuck on why he thought I heard lick and not kick the first time like ????????????????
I ultimately have two conclusions
The second one, the less likely: he had anxiety and thought I misheard or something. Considering how he normally is, this one's unlikely. Also, it came about as a result of overthinking the overthinking
The first one: he thought I misheard because it's something he would've misheard cuz he's into that. This one others agree with
SIR. THE FUCK. I do not need to know that about you
@.@

[galled]

Sounds like an HR reportable offense...

[Kitalpha Hart]

The head of HR wants to borrow the wooden spoons in my work bag to thwap my lead with, so I don't think I need to worry about it. He was gonna do a kick in the ass until he heard about the spoons
But yes he's aware, and understanding that it's some wild-ass banter, found it funny. Which it is. Just also hella confusing because lick???????????

[Lemon Cheesecake]

oh no! Your poor co worker! What a high anxiety week for them! I hope their kid doesn't have a concussion.

Yeh ... am thinking your lead was feeling you out to check your response & see where you are at. I think you were good to act neutral & not play along.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Yeah he quit already

Dunno. He does refer to me as "kid" with the main non-name followup being "girl" like one uses "gurl" but not quite saying it like that. Dad thinks he may have misheard himself and just wanted to make sure he hadn't actually said it

[Lemon Cheesecake]

That's a better scenario.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Next week they're having us run M-W so that we have a long weekend, barring a potential mandate for Friday
Normally Monday is the mandate day and we run T-F
They might not be able to swing it. If none of the supervisors agree, they can't force it. They've tried before. Also, considering how many alcoholics are in the place, there's a good chance that some will still be drunk on the fifth my one coworker immediately raised his hand when I brought that up to him and another coworker

[Kitalpha Hart]

Aaaaand I have to run twelves
Senior printer is crosstrained elsewhere and he's there on alternate hours
Junior printer is not signed off on operating the autoprinters yet
So no choice in the matter, I'm running twelves
At least it's only three days, not five
