Bullies

 Bully - Bullying is the act of intentionally causing harm to others, through verbal harassment, physical assault, or other more subtle methods of coercion such as manipulation.

Last night I came home from a good night of bowling only to find out that one of my boys is being bullied at school.Nothing pisses me off more than a bully, but as with all bullies nowadays they run in groups.Unfortunately one of the bullies is a Cub Scout in my sons den even!When this kid is at his den meeting, but at school evidently at school he has his own little posse that he likes to run with and picking on others.No where in the Cub Scout promise that it says I promise to tease other people for any reason.

The fact that a Cub Scout is doing this really chaps my ass beyond all belief.I've seen this Scout act up at pack meetings and personally had to to make him stop acting up.His grandfather brings him to the Den meetings and pretty much lets him get away with murder.The den leader is usually beside himself and pulling his hair after awhile.I had a talk to his grandfather at one point and asked him to help reel his grandson in.He's disrupting the meetings and the rest of the den.After that he made him behave while I was there, but now that I'm bowling on the night of the Den meeting I've been receiving reports that he's back to his old ways.

When I was a kid I was bullied pretty fierce by one guy who had a everything in the world against me for no other reason than the fact he didn't like me.But he was one person who didn't need back up due to his size and strength.But 3 kids on one is the fact that they know that they have no power alone against one of my boys, so they have to team up.When I was a Den Leader for the Cub Scouts I taught the Scouts that no bully has power over you if you ignore them.If they hit you, push you, or call you names walk away.The only time you should fight back is if your in danger or you can not make it to an adult safely.

We got the names of the boys in question and took them to the principal so that he can take care of the problem and call the parents of the offending kids.He also told my son that he can't help him if he doesn't let him know who is doing all the bullying.

A case of mistaken identity

A couple of weeks ago I had to go to the local hardware store to pick up some basic supplies for the plant it was the end of day and I was tired.Well something happened that has never happened before they asked me for my ID when I went to charge this stuff to company charge account.Okay, this doesn't sound like a big deal but the thing is I had to use my bosses name and sign his name in the past for all this stuff.So every time I went there to pick up stuff I gave his name and signed his name, I have been doing this for a couple of years now without a problem.But when they asked for my ID I damn near shit myself and panicked.I told them I left my ID back at the plant and asked them to call for conformation.Well they called and the plant manager gave them permission to let me (not knowing it was me, but who I had told I was) charge this stuff I purchased to the company account.

When I get back to the plant I give everyone that asked my to pick stuff up for them their shit and was on my way to the time clock when my boss stopped me and asked me if I had just been to the hardware store and charged some stuff to the company account.I told him what went on and what I purchased.Well he starts laughing and tells me that the plant manager had called him and started to tease him about leaving his wallet at the plant.He told him that he hasn't left the plant today.I started laughing to at this point and asked where he was so I could explain to what happened and save face.Turns out when the plant manager found out that it wasn't him he took off to the hardware to store five minutes after I returned  to find out who he gave permission to charge stuff to the company account.Well we waited about 10 minutes and called him on his cell phone and told him who it was that had charged stuff to the account.Of course I left before he returned and chewed me out and let him cool off over the weekend.


Needless to say none of them will let me live it down what I had done, and slick way I handled that situation at the hardware store.

So who will I be tomorrow?

Another birthday

Once again its that time of the year again and I get another year older and on top of that I had to report for Jury duty today.Nothing like doing a civic duty make ones birthday just that more special.

But it wasn't all that bad today though before my kids went to school this morning they sang me "Happy Birthday", it made me feel better about going to court and receiving my juror number and phone number to call as instructed.Also the little gifts they made for me because my birthday didn't fall on a payday helped out a lot to.All they were little cards that they had drew and colored for me and that was all I needed from them.


This is my 34th birthday and I hope to see many, many, many more!
