This actually happened to my gimp ass earlier this afternoon around 1330, while over at the office's of the Department of Education, Vocational Rehabilitation, Veteran's Affairs, the Tampa Bay Work Force Alliance, and other similar governmental office's.
My Little Blue Bus had just been dropped me off for my meeting with my VR counselor.
As I walked towards the center corridor of this once-a-mall-office building addressed, 9215 N. Florida Ave., I stopped to take an inhale from my emergency inhaler. It was necessary that I stop just for one moment or two to catch my breathe and wipe my globe's forehead, as it is might hot out of doors...
...in this moment or two, in a room the size of the bottom floor of a Sears Department Store, with dozens of computer's with a diverse people's at most of them. While I took in the cool air, took a breathe of medicine, and wiped my skull, there was a young pup of maybe twenty two or three, at a desk maybe four feet from me, with a cubical type partition between us both, who really thought he asked me, "are you, looking at my screen?", I looked over my shoulder to see who he was talking too and asked him if he had me mistaken for some one else...
...well, from this point we had a brilliant show of how not to have a confrontation with an Elder who doesn't take to kindly to being spoken to in such a 'street lingo'. I mean, gawd, you all know I don't fucking curse, um, too much.
Roof-roof, bark bark, woof woof, yackity yack-yack, and acting like two damned fool's.
Kin, I stood up for myself and had to really give that boy a good damned deep down, talking to. Out loud and in public too. I swear, he thought he threatened me with bodily harm and in turn I offered to provide him with a smashed face. Then, out of the deep blue sky, like lightening striking, a dear lady asked, "Will one of you be the Man and just walk away?".
Her words broke the cycle. Immediately. Thank you, Ma'am and thank you, My Dear God.
Because My Dear Lord, somebody was going to have some hurt feeling's today. Might have could been me, I don't know, but I say, this ole gimpy elder would have gotten in some. There might maybe had been a boo-boo or two, or a fat lip and I thank you God, for sending in your Angel, the rational lady with the wise words.
God, I forgive that young pup, and ask that will you please forgive me? I sinned today, I was a part of this incident at the government office.
