A Public Apology for LJ

As I've come back into the communtiy on here, I've realized that my past comments on "wishing she walks through a crosswalk one day and gets hit by a drunk driver" was more than just childish, it was incredibly stupid and disgusting. I wished the same on her friends here as well, and it did nothing but make myself look like and idiot and a complete psychotic and I am hereby apologizing for that. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and although I completely despise Liberals, I can equally despise playground bully Conservatives. Whereas I lean more on the Conservative side, I have family and friends that are Liberal that don't share the same ideals and opinions of other Liberals, and the same goes for Conservatives.
However, although I do feel remorse for my past comments, I will say that I'll never back down on what I think is right and or true, just as others do the same. I will continue to pounce on people like a grizzly on a tye dyed shirt wearing granola fanatic in the back country of Alaska, with no bear spray (or a clue as to how to properly be prepared in bear country) and the idea that the world is nothing but a bowel of peaches and strawberries and they are entitled to a taste. Thank you. Oh, and I don't expect you to take this seriously, because you don't know me personally, but just know that in person I always try and be as honest as humanly possible, and I don't like to sugar coat my attitude, so I'm saying 100% that this apology is sincere. I know LJ couldn't care less, but that's fine with me. Hell, we just agreed on something for the second time in almost five years just yesterday. Hint: Taxing churches/religious organizations.

...but truly, I don't know anyone who wants to taste a bowel full of any fruit.

One of my least favorite Managers ever lost a crown after eating a box of toffee given to her as a Christmas present from a group of engineers that had no love loss for her. She related in a staff meeting that she elected to screen her feces through a strainer in an effort to recover the gold crown in an effort to avoid paying for a new one. Apparently there are people who are willing to eat their own shi... Well you get the point.

For me it's all about standards, if something enters my intestinal tract voluntarily through my mouth and exits said path in the expected manner the chance that said object would go back into my mouth is ZERO.

As for team building exercises, the same team that gave the original gift gathers every year on an auspiciousness date (15 April, the manager's date of birth) to have a laugh about the entire episode. It's 13+ years later and we are still laughing.

I'm leading a small team now (16 employees) and I make it a point to be approachable, honest, and flexible. If I can't claim anything else, I can say I never put anything in my mouth that came out of my hind end.

And I completely despise Conservatives, and I 'll never back down on what I think is right and true... But occasionally we DO agree on something... And it is appreciated that you apologized...And I offer the same back at ya...

We's good.
