Engage your brain please! *Major ranting!*

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I posted on here, however I did post on a forum I occasionally use. To give you guys a jist of what's been happening this was my recent forum posting;

"I'm not expecting a response to this, and I realise everyone is entitled to their own opinions, especially when it comes to the current fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. So I'm going to make this clear - I do not condone the violence, fighting and loss of lives, but I'm backing the army, because I'm backing my brother (who doesnt agree with the war either). Who is now risking his life out there. (THIS IS ALSO MY DISCLAIMER!)

Now to the rant ; How fucking dare you tell me my little brother is only coming home in a coffin! How fucking dare you! You don't know him, you have never met him, and you have no idea of his reasoning for joining the army in the first place. You are an arrogant, evil, malicious bastard! And tomorrow, when I'm calmer, I am going to tell you to your disgusting pathetic face that you are not worth my brother's life! My brother is loving, caring, funny, intelligent, brave and loyal. You are a total scumbag! Not only did you show the company we work for to be totally unprofessional with your timing, but you showed just how sick you really are. Perhaps I should have made repeated jokes when your dad was dying, because everyone else did, I was stupid enough to fight your corner....to give you the benefit of the doubt. But you know what- fuck that now! You burned that bridge and then some. You are worthless scum compared to my brother.

There arent enough words to describe just how sick you make me feel, and if you dare crack that "joke" at me ever again, it will be the last thing you ever say to me."

I have since put in a formal complaint against this individual, and my boss has done sweet F.A. so far. My brother left for war 4 days ago. It confuses me how people can be so heartless with what they say at times, it really does. This is a colleague who has used his position within the workplace to abuse and belittle other members of staff, this is not the first time something regarding the army has been said. I turned a blind eye when he called my brother a "murderer" (even though he hasn't fired a firearm at someone - yet), I turned a blind eye when he insulted injured soldiers being welcomed home, I turned a blind eye because I wanted to keep the peace. I think the time is up now. If my boss does nothing with a verbal formal complaint, this will become a written one - My work is my work, I do not go there to be abused, and I definitely do not go there to have some sick narrowminded twisted son of a bitch abuse a member of my family based on what he does for work.

Today I ignored this guy, I did my job as best I could, and now am staying in the same house as this guy for work reasons (it's the emergency veterinary staff house). I am staying professional because I have to until monday - but inside I feel sick, physically sick. I want to scream, and shout, and inject the fruit and vegetables he has in the fridge with laxatives. Alas, I don't have any laxatives, and I doubt a full on tantrum will help......much. My eyes and my head still hurt from crying yesterday, and I'm still shocked that I drove home in torrential downpour while in the state I was - I'm pretty sure I was a liability on the roads and am lucky I didn't hit someone or kill myself! Anger is not a good thing, but right now it's getting me through work, I just hope it holds out until monday....otherwise there may be more tears. I hate that this person got to me this badly, I hate that I cried one tear because of his malicious words, and I hate him even more because he may be right. If my brother becomes another government statistic the first person I will blame will be my colleague.

I shouldn't think like that......because I will be driven mad with despair and anxiety if I do. I need to believe that he's coming home, and he's coming home safely. There is nothing else to believe.

(Side note - drop me a comment or email re; revenge tactics ;D .........even if their only purpose is to make me laugh)
