thank God Im going home in 1 hour and 20 mins cause I cant take anymore!!! As soon as I got off the phone with April, I got a call saying my friend and co-worker totaled a paramedic car and was going to be taken to the hospital.they said that she had minor injures, her biggest complaint was a busted lip. when I got to the hospital I found out that she had infact hit the winsheild and dosent remember it.....to add insult to injury, I had smoked a cigarette while I was waiting for her to arrive in the ambulance, when I was finished but still had the butt in my hand, I walked over to talk to my friends mother , and this EXTREMELY RUDE security guard came over to the crowd of us...me, my boss, my friend's mother and her boyfriend, and another of my co-workers, and told me this is a no smoking zone to put the cigarette out. I showed him the cigarette butt and said that is was out and he said I needed to put it out and again I told him it was already out SIR and please excuse me as I was very upset, my friend had been in an accident and was on her way in via ambulance. he told me AGAIN to put the cigarette out and I told him again...SIR the cigarette is out, and he said to put in a receptical at which point I said yes sir and turned around and headed for a receptacle. He headed in the opposite direction, there was a wall between us , neither could see the other. after I put the butt....did I mention the f**king thing was never being smoked the whole f**king time? my extremely pissed of azz turned around and flipped off the air...not even in his direction....he wasnt in sight, he couldnt see me...my friends mom and everyone couldn't see me! but guess what??? THERE WAS A CAMERA THERE AND THE AZZHOLE SECURITY GUARD CAME TO MY FRIEND'S HOSPITAL ROOM AND ASKED ME TO STEP OUTSIDE, ASKED FOR MY NAME (I gave him my business card) AND I CALL MY CEO TO TELL HIM WHAT HAPPENED, AND ILL BE A SON OF A GUN IF THE HOSPITAL HEAD OF SECURITY DIDNT CALL MY BOSS AND TELL HIM I WAS NOT ALLOWED ON THEIR PROPERTY EVER AGAIN UNLESS I APOLOGIZED TO THE AZZHOLE AND PROMISED NEVER TO SMOKE IN A NO SMOKING AREA AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! wellll...I called my lawyer after I conferenced called my bosses and told them I would quit my job before I apologized to that......guard. My bosses said not to worry about it, it would get straightened out. I asked my boss to please request the tape of me flipping off the air.... OMFG I hate today...I go home in 51 mins and it cant come fast enough!!!! I am supposed to work tommorrow and I think I will call in....dont need this shit!!!

Oh I hate those kind of people. Probably a reformed smoker. Here\'s an excuse I use (I\'m soooo bad!) My dr told me not to change my chemical intake. Chemical intake? I thought long and hard what she meant sooo I came up with this. The next time I\'m told to quit or a smart ass comment about my smoking I say \"I have a dr excuse. I\'m not to change my chemical content due to my illness.\" These ppl don\'t know what to say and walk away...lol Oh I hope it helps. At least a smile :) Hang in there!
Hello there,
used to smoke myself(quit after a stroke). Lived in Canberra (Aust.) in 80\'s: things got really bad when Public Service offices were made smoke free. Had a couple of similar experiences - little Hitlers those Security Guards can be. Here, some are ex-police (been kicked out of the force in some cases! I don\'t react - just smile sweetly - I\'ve decided the \"heavy\" ones get a kick out of doing the hassle - esp. when it\'s a v.young man or a woman. Funniest one was at Hehicle Registration: was assailed by a small girl, about 6 years - got the full catastrophe! I replied firmly - \"Do you know me\"? She said \"NO, I don\'t\" - so I quietly told her that she should not speak to strangers- I could be a dangerous person, & she was too young to know how to tell. I\'d already heard of this kid - her mother was a right Nut! - totally obsesssed about cigarette smoke. My adivce is - in future, just don\'t react (I know it bloody hard, but taking away their power is the best thing: (Even if you think they won, they did not - they got no \"kick\" out of abusing their authority. Doing this is best learned by \"Play acting\". Alternatively, if you just can\'t keep your cool, Drop something, pick it up, & act as tho\' it\'s broken - it gives you an excuse to say \" Fucking useless object\" - if he reacts, you can say, I\'m talking about this stupid thing - please leave me alone now!This one was the ABSOLUTE worst I\'ve heard of, & of course he would know you were upset & didn\'t have it together! Poor idiot! -what a way to get his kicks - probably sleeps in the dog-house! Don\'t worry about him-he\'s not worth it love.Best wishes, JaneD.
So sorry to hear about your friend...on top of April... you must be stressed...then to have the security gaurd to boot..sigh... sounds like he needs a course in empthy training at the very least.... gotta love the ones who did not pass the exam to become a police officer or got kicked off the force and now doing security...grin... power tripping all the way...
hugs
