So I was at work yesterday doing a safewalk shift with another coworker. The shift requires 2 people at all times except for when doing exterior-door lockups. Now since my coworker hadn't done a safewalk shift in over 2 semesters, I had to show him how to do the lockups so we went to one of the buildings together to do so. On the way there, there was this Indian (apparently fijian) chick that walked right by us. I've seen her many times before but I've never actually spoken to her. I mean, what's the point, really? In case you're wondering, yes she's hot. And naturally, as we passed by her, we both made mention to her aesthetics.
So after we headed to the building, I showed him how to lockup the doors and then headed in the opposite direction to do the other half of the lockups. He didn't have a radio on him so when the supervisor tried to get a hold of him, there was no response.
Afterwards, the supervisor told me he needed to get a hold of him, so I went to the building he was locking up doors at and found him. He felt nervous that the SV wanted to speak with him, as did I, since not having a radio isn't exactly grounds for having a talk with the supervisor.
After he spoke with him, my coworker, Gidey, broke it down for me.
Apparently, the supervisor wanted to speak with him regarding the girl that we had passed in the hallway.
Here's a script of what Gidey said happened:
Gidey: Hi, I am gidey, what do you do here?
Girl: I coordinate the janitors to clean up the buildings. What about you? do you go to school here?
Gidey: yeah, I go to school here, what about you?
Girl: I am doing some receptionist program in vancouver. Anyways, I've gotta get going.
About 5 minutes later, since they were both in the same building, they ran into each other again ( it happens a lot)
Gidey: Oh, I forgot to ask you what your name was
Girl: oh my name is "(who cares)", where are you from?
Gidey: where are you from?
Girl: I am from Fiji
Gidey: okay, well how about you give me your number and I'll tell you where I am from over the phone.
Girl: okay, *gives number*. Anyways, I have to get to the library.
That's pretty much all that happened. Turns out, she filed a complaint against Gidey for stalking her. He was absolutely traumatized by the incident. It felt weird for me because I barely know the guy. We've both been here for over 1.5 years and never actually worked or spoken to each other, so I really didn't know how I was supposed to react. The thing is, I understand his position. He was attracted to her and wanted to get her number. But I disagree that he was following her since you happen to run into the cleaners a lot when doing the exterior patrols. That's just how it is.
All in all, he felt that his good reputation of working there for 2.5 years had gone down the drain. He was most upset at the fact that the security supervisor had to contact the csp supervisor and head supervisor about the matter. Neither the csp SV or head SV could believe that Gidey of all people would have been involved in something like that. Eitherways, it really sucks for him.

The bank Job.
Watch it. It's awesome. 4.5/5 stars.
Edit: I should've probably mentioned this before...but I have unofficially graduated. I should feel relieved, but honestly, I am not.
Onto other news: I believe toxicity is the best album SOAD has come out with. I also believe that apart from maybe 1 or 2 songs, this is one of the best albums I've ever heard. I don't think I ever disliked it even though I may have mentioned that I did at one point. Because I never would have disliked this album if I actually listened to all of it.
On a related note, I think Serj Tankian is one of the best underrated singers I've ever heard. His voice doesn't get much recognition since it doesn't sound like fucking Elton John or Michael Bolton--great singers in their own right; however, incomparable to Serj.
That ends this post.

Why women shouldn't rule the world.
I was studying for my only final this semester and it dawned upon me the main difference between men and women. Men are simple, women are indecisive. NO, not just complicated, but INDECISIVE. Where does this indecisiveness stem from? Is it hereditary or is it socially influenced.
*note* this does not relate to ALL women. Just a sizable majority.
Observations for indecision:
Shopping: When men shop, we go into a store, look around for a few minutes (10 max) and decide. It's simple yet efficient. Women can window shop for hours in the same store and not buy a single item. It's not that they're complicated, it's because they're fucking indecisive. How difficult is it to select one handbag from another? The use is the same and you either like one over the other. If that realization takes more than 30 seconds to make, you are either brain-dead or useless.
Dating: Guys know when they like girls. They don't think too much about it, they just know. With more experience, they know when to take the fall and when not to. Some men are different than others, but on the whole, it's fairly simple: if the girl is nice, smart and doesn't get easily offended, done deal. Sexual attraction is an added bonus, but not entirely necessary at first sight. With women, everything becomes complicated. Again, not because they're complicated, but because they're indecisive. The main reason guys don't know what women want is because women themselves don't know what the fuck they want in the first place. How many women choose losers over nice guys? a lot more than they should. Why? Because they're indecisive about what they really want. What do they want? who the fuck knows.
Driving: The main reason why women are really so much worse drivers than men is once again simple: indecisiveness. When a guy gets into an accident, it's usually because he fell asleep on the wheel or was perhaps driving recklessly. You don't hear of guys backing up into parked cars on the other side of the street or crashing into barricades simply because they "came out of nowhere". Women get into far stupider accidents because of indecision. They take too long to make simple decisions and over compensate for said decisions with rashness or absentmindedness.
Arguments: With a guy, it's simple. If it makes sense, it's correct. With women, their answers to arguments usually stem from the indecision of the argument. What was the argument about? Who said what? Why did they say that? Answer to all of these? Irrelevant as long as she wins the argument; which is usually through oppositional abdication. She won't let a little thing like sense come in the way of accepting the fall. No way. If she paid more attention to logic, worked out her argument concisely and if necessary and followed through on key, relevant points, she'd be a man.
All in all, women are way too indecisive to rule the world.

Because your girlfriend is fat.
So I was just reading Jowen's blog. I usually abstain from reading anyone's blog whom I've never met--or only a couple times--however, everytime I have read it, I have been thoroughly interested. I like the idea that 4 people contribute to the blog. That way it has a far smaller chance of dying out and is almost constantly updated with more superfluous drivel. I wouldn't have minded starting something like that up with my group of bloggers; sadly, everyone I know sucks leonine testicles. Yes, that includes you.
I told someone today that their girlfriend was fat. It wasn't my fault. He asked me what I thought of her. I guess I could have lied, but why should I have? He asked ME, and hence I obliged with the truth. He wasn't upset about it; he just took it in stride.
Onto other news: Camping was awesome, though technically it wasn't really camping; however, semantics doesn't change the fact that I had an awesome time. Good to hang with a few buddies while getting drunk and pissed off at them because they can't comprehend the basics of monopoly. Good times.
My Serb co-worker has had a revelation. He's changed the majority of his personality because he didn't want to be hated by everyone around him. So now, his amicable transformation to a not-so-arrogant-but-still-a-prick Serb has landed him a girlfriend--with a co-worker who is attractive--and has paid off dividends for him in other areas as well. Though I can tell that he's still slightly embittered at the fact that I reported his Jewish ass. That's fine as long as he seems to have improved.
I don't really have much to report other than the fact that I hate you all. That and since I've lost my phone, I will be requiring your phone numbers. Unless I hate you, then don't bother posting it.
That is all.
