Countdown to Showdown

Lincoln Adams | November 25, 2007 @ 3:41 pm

This post is part of the series titled, "Waging War At Work." The table of contents for this series is listed below in chronological order:

  1. Fighting The Devil Woman
  2. Forced to Fight
  3. A Battle Won
  4. Countdown to Showdown
  5. The Last Mile
  6. Line in The Sand - Taking a Stand
  7. You are the MAN!



I won a small victory at work, but it may not be over just yet.

Tomorrow I go back to my job for the first time in a month since this whole debacle began. Even though my union called and let me know the Devil Woman would be moved back to her old section, my coworkers were telling me a different story. I also heard that my supervisor might be transferred out as well, but nobody seems to know anything about that either. There’s a feeling that the brass might be pulling some maneuvering stunts here so that if my supervisor does get transferred out, they will move Devil Woman in his place and she’ll end up becoming my new supervisor after all.

I’ll know for sure tomorrow, at which point I’ll be calling in ahead of time to make sure she’s really gone. If she’s not, it’s war.

You know, finding justice is a noble calling, but the road to it is not a pleasant one, and there are no guarantees either. I’m in this alone, without the support of my coworkers, my union, or anybody else. All I have is God and a clear conscience in knowing I’m doing the right thing. The line has been drawn. This madness has to end now. People are getting hurt, and the integrity of our workforce is being compromised. And yet nobody wants to take a stand here because they’re all afraid for their jobs?

To hell with that. I’d rather stand in line at the unemployment office than take this kind of abuse. I want to go to bed at night knowing I stood up against evil and that I refused to be cowed by their intimidation and threats. I will not be their @#$% rug for them to walk all over.

And if they don’t know that already, then they surely will soon. :bat:

Calvinism: Reducing Salvation to Car Insurance

John Piper as a Cavemen for GEICO

This image, originally meant as a subtle dig at Ergun Caner, instead beautifully illustrates the fallacy of “Reformed” theology, at least to me. The “Not Available to Certain Individuals” quote especially was priceless. :rofl:

By the way, I don’t know who Caner is, but the fact that he recently preached on TBN (the television network home to whack jobs like Benny Hinn) probably tells me all I need to know about him.

Girls Just Wanna Have NO Fun Whatsoever

Lincoln Adams | September 7, 2006 @ 4:56 pm

Why can’t my female co-workers learn the value of shooting the breeze and taking it easy every now and then while in the workplace? When it comes to guys, we’ll crack jokes, make small talk and generally work at our leisure, which for us is all fine and good as long as the work gets done, and it always does by the end of the day.

But women, gees. Make the merest attempt at idle chatter, and they’ll fear the end of the world is nigh. Why are they somehow convinced that we must all work as if the Sword of Damocles were hanging over our heads, ready to drop at the slightest indiscretion? Our jobs especially are life sucking drudgeships, which virtually requires us to engage in a little bantering and fun just to break the routine and keep us from all going insane. When it comes to these cows though, it’s all work and no play, lest we get their blistering stares of disapproval. And here I thought girls just wanted to have fun?? Yeah right. Not at work evidently.
