Quote from: "phittie1100"I didn't start with a .22 either - in fact my first firearm was a Thompson/Auto Ordinance Colt 1911 .45 ACP. Like you I got hooked shooting with a coworker who was retired military. I didn't discover long guns until a friend introduced my to squirrel pot pies - .45 is not very practical for squirrels.
Quote from: "4x4x4JK"Are you going to be solving your work/co-worker issues with this?
QuoteAmy,
Judging by the response, or lack of, to what happened Saturday night at the store, I felt I should let you know my side of the story.
At about 9 o'clock, the store slowed down, to a standstill. Billy and Marc took their second break for the night. During their break, Billy decided to pee in the parking lot, and then poop onto a piece of newspaper. First, according to them, they put it behind my Jeeps tire, thinking I would never know who did it. Then, deciding that wasn't such a good idea, they took it to the front window, knocking, yelling, and pointing at it for all the lobby, which consisted of Tasha, Me, and a couple former employee's, to see. After we realized exactly what he had on the newspaper, we ignored him. He tried to open the front door, which Tasha ended up locking, and instead ran to the back door. I tried to make it back there to lock it, but Billy beat me to it, and ran through the entire store with the poop on the newspaper to the front lobby. Afterwards, he stuck it to the door of the tax place next to us. A few minutes later he pulled the newspaper off, leaving most of the poop on the window. At this point, Billy decided to leave the poop there, that the tax place would find it next time they came in. Marvin told Billy to clean it up, which he did after much hesitation. Meanwhile, Tasha threw up in the parking lot 4 times from seeing the poop. Then, Billy came to us and said "Now I'm going to take it to a personal level." At which I responded "Do not do anything to me or my Jeep" several times.
Next thing I know, my Jeep is covered from front to back in receipt paper. I ran out of the store yelling, and as I came out Marc ducked behind the car next to mine. After he realized I knew where he was, he ran towards the front door, apologizing and telling me Billy had run to the back door. Billy came back out, laughing, and grabbed another roll of receipt paper and through it across the parking lot, so that it unraveled in the middle of the lot, all the way down to the front of the Hong Kong Chinese restaurant. Marvin came outside, stating that he was not going to write them up, that if he did it would all come back at him, and he'd end up getting in trouble or fired because he didn't have the time to baby sit them (Marvin was inside doing his work while this was going on). Marvin then made them clean it all up off my Jeep, and then he brought them back inside and made them get back to work. As you can imagine, I was quite angry, I do not touch anybody else's stuff, let alone their vehicles, and I expect that nobody else touches anything of mine. I said if Marvin wasn't going to write them up, then I was going to come talk to you. That's when Tasha said "You can do whatever you want, but if anybody asks me about it, I'm going to say I didn't see anything."
After that Marvin made Billy and Marc come out and apologize to me. Billy slammed the front door open, said sarcastically "Brandon I'm sorry I destroyed your Jeep with paper" turned around, and walked right back in. Marc tried to make another joke out of it, came up to me and said "Aw Brandon do you need a hug?" and tried to hug me. Marvin then let me leave. I went home, talked it over with my mother, realized I was not going to just let this go, and called Marvin. He informed me that he had written them up, and that it was taken care of and that, thanks to me, he was probably going to lose his job because I couldn't let it go, and it was all going to come back on him for not babysitting them, and they were bored teenagers on a slow night and he can understand why they'd do this kind of stuff.
The next day I came in, and everybody was cheerful and happy like nothing happened. Marc laughed to me that "Yea, we did get written up, but it's just a write-up and I don't really think anything is actually gonna happen." That's when I assumed that either Marvin had not actually written them up, or they had hid the write-ups from you.
That's why I asked you Monday morning if you had seen the write-ups, wondering why nothing had been done yet. Not only am I angry from my Jeep being papered, but the fact that a manager and an MIT would think that human feces running through the store is a silly teenager prank is beyond belief. This is disgusting and unbelievable, and could be cited as a major health code violation. If necessary, I have picture and video evidence from that night.
Sincerely,
Brandon

Quote from: "Herezja"Quote from: "astrogiblet"Have you seen the actual hotel from the movie "Hotel Rwanda"?
The name of it is Hôtel des Mille Collines, according to Wikipedia. That movie was amazing...
-Brandon
Yep...I go to Hotel Mille Collines alot actually. They have an awesome happy hour on Thursday nights and it is only a block from the old Embassy (we moved back in February), so I used to go there quite often. There is a rumor that it is going to shut down to be renovated soon. It is one of the three decent hotels in Kigali even though there is no air conditioning in the rooms :roll:
Remind me sometime over a beer....I have stories upon stories about that movie. Don't get me wrong, it is a good movie....just not as accurate in the depiction of a "true story" as they would like you to think.
