Title: Dazzling Urbanite managers, to me!
Post by: CountDeMoney on May 12, 2009, 05:28:47 AM
Why is it that dazzling urbanites can't stay healthy?

My previous dazzling urbanite missed a shitload of work because she was constantly enemic.  Luckily, I got to fire her for theft.

My new dazzling urbanite, the one I've had since November, is wonderful to work with, but goddamn if she doesn't have asthma issues and calls in sick when the pollen count is too high.

Who the fuck gets sick over allergies?  What the fuck?  Why the fuck can't black people stay healthy?

/rant off.

I had a dazzling urbanite employee who was actually quite reliable, except for the time she had to be out for surgery on her FUM.*

She eventually quit after deciding everyone in the department was out to get her and was racidistic, though.  She unsuccessfully tried to sue us at least twice, too.

I had to help out a nigger the other day. Fucker had managed to start a fire in his kitchen and needed a few doors replaced.

When I realized this particular nigger lived in a city-provided 4-bedroom appartment and likely as not spent his days chewing khat bought with welfare leechery I was of course expectedly consternated.

However, I managed to swallow my furious anger and even shake his hand with a smile without so much as a hint of wiping it on my pants afterwards.

Chatting with him proved pointless. He managed to note that he didn't much like Trondheim, nor Norwegians, calling them "too aloof, too cold".

My multi-cultural story du jour.  :bowler:

I dunno, but when I was a kid that's what all the poors ate instead of Oreos.  Princesca told me that where she lived only teh blacks ate them, which I guess correlates with my observation (since there were like 2 black kids out of 450 in my graduating class  :bowler: ).

Since the trend lately has been for poor people to pretend they're rich via crazy mortgages and credit-card spending, maybe they all upgraded in the cookie department and Hydrox went away.

You'd think so.

I guess I just don't have a marked need to keep up with the latest synonyms for what is a perfectly good slur to begin with.  :P

Even when I was teh poor, I could afford fucking oreos for myself. Thank you food stamps.

Oreo use to have such a nice connotation for me - reminded me of a time when a couple cookies and a glass of cold milk was a treat, in between beatings.

Then a neighbor called another neighbor an "oreo", and I asked what she meant by that, and she said he was black on the outside, but white on the inside.

Been ruined for me ever since.

Also, Hydrox is the oxygen/hydrogen mix found in diving bottles.
