| Singing Bull |
| 06.28.04 (4:51 pm) [edit] |
I have just narrowly escaped being cornered by a bull of the two-legged variety. I don't hate this person, but I do not hold him in high regard either. I think he is a confused soul and simply does not know how to treat people. He is in for a rude awakening. However, I'm not the one to give it to him. So for today, he remains completele unaware of his affect on people. He has never been known to be humble, gracious or genteel. Most times he is loud and abrasive. You know how sand-paper feels when you rub it against your skin? That's how my ears feel whenever he talks to me. He only knows one speed - the 5th gear. He only knows one way of getting things done - by brute force. He has been known to hammer a square peg into a round hole a few times. There is a vulnerable side to him, of that I am sure. Still, he surges forward full steam ahead plowing over friendships and feelings. I cannot paint him any clearer than that.
Anyway, on this particular day I was waiting for the elevator to arrive on my floor so I could get to the mail room. Suddenly, I hear singing and whistling coming from the elevator as it rises to my floor. It's him - the Singing Bull - singing some show tune at top volume in a voice that could be described as cats-f**king meets nails-on-a-chalkboard. I have seconds to decide whether or not I want to stand my ground and be in his path as he gets off the elevator, or worst of all worsts, ride down with him on the elevator. The voice in my head yelled an emphatic "HELL NO!"
So I ran from the elevator and hid around the corner like a frickin' coward because I hate confrontations and I was not feeling particularly brave. I listened as he exited the elevator, butchering the theme to Ally McBeal and walked towards his office. I waited until I heard him unlock his office door and close it behind him. Phew! Then I turned the corner and pressed the button for the elevator. To my disgust, it had gone to another floor. As I waited I glanced over at his office door. Nothing. I could hear the elevator starting to make it's way back up to my floor. I was feeling relieved when I heard a noise coming from his office.
Suddenly, I saw his door knob turn. SHIT! He's coming back. I looked at the elevator. It had arrived on my floor. His door opened. The elevator doors opened. I saw him at the corner of my eye. HE'S SEEN ME. He looked pissed off about something. SHIT! As I could see my name form on his lips I stepped into the elevator. NATXXXX. I could hear foot steps approaching. My heart was pounding. The elevator doors closed and the elevator began to descend. I gasped a sigh of relief. I hadn't experienced this feeling of dread since being bullied in high school.
