I am tired. I think I did my last bike ride for the year. Unless it warms up next weekend. WHo knows? Climate change could be a deciding factor. Too much of my mind has been consumed by the shenanigans of Mohnki Cee Mohnki Dew all weekend. Too much Mohnki business. Too much fear and loathing.

It even infected my dreams last night. And tomorrow I dive right back in again. A mitigating factor could be that Schlomo will be out for a few days this week. I can’t say I know about what the Legume would be up to, she plays her cards close to her vest. The hovering finger will be in place, just in case.

Input arrived and we were all on the same page. I also looked up some Glassdoor reviews about Mohnki Cee Mohnki Dew and found that I was in agreement with what was posted.

If the work situation wasn’t so dire, there is always the relentless drumbeat of the election. If you know me you know who I am voting for. The goddamned republican party is filled with idiots, racists, fascists, nazi thugs, and general scumbags.

I used to know some of them but they were disgusted with my liberal outlook despite a history of friendship and love. Some of them might be relatives.

I forgot to post a brief incident last night about bicycling yesterday afternoon. As I was cycling through Jersey City I was dependent on the largesse of drivers, they generally let me pedal through stop signs, knowing that I would be gone in seconds.

As I was crossing an intersection at Third and Jersey Ave, there was a pedestrian in the crosswalk. Of course, I did not want to hit them and impede my cycling progress, but they felt I was aiming for them (which I could have easily done) and the rather pedestrian young old man yelled out a feeble ‘Jesus Christ’ to which I replied ‘Yes, Jesus Christ indeed’ which upon reflection probably sounded like an endorsement of Jesus Christ.

Today there was a dad pushing a baby carriage and about to cross a street and still on the sidewalk. The dad is 5 feet away from me on the sidewalk. He is not in danger, the baby is safe in its carriage and I am just avoiding upcoming cobblestones on the street. But he had to say loud enough ‘There’s a bike path in the street you know big guy.’ So I replied ‘Yeah I know, big guy’.

I guess I can’t speak for other bicyclists as there are the delivery guys always hustling and the bicycle renters who don’t know much of anything regarding bicycle etiquette if there is such a thing. I do make those instant decisions to get around and to avoid people.

It was a bit chilly early this afternoon and I realized this might be it for the year, but like I said, with climate change, who knows?

On my way back, there were about a half dozen young people walking in my direction. I spot them from about 30 feet away so I stop and plant myself and my bike. They continue heading right towards me even though they have options to walk around me. I’m not moving and their spokesperson guy puts up his hands like ‘What?’

Then he says ‘Oh excuse us’. I said ‘Okay… keep going…good job, have a good day.’ I was reluctantly happy, knowing that if this was my last bike ride, I probably wouldn’t be seeing them again until April or May of 2025. They were probably going to see L’Orange Merde at Madison Square Garden this afternoon.

Bonjour,

Je suis actuellement employée par Mohnki Cee Mohnki Dew depuis juin 2021. Lundi dernier, le 21 octobre 2024, j’ai été menacée de violence par une employée, la matrone enfermée dans le placard. Cette employée m’a contrarié au cours des 3 dernières années et j’ai fait de mon mieux pour l’éviter.

Lundi matin, il a commencé à me crier dessus dans la cuisine, en disant que j’étais une connerie, et m’a défiée à plusieurs reprises.

Au moins une demi-douzaine d’employés à proximité ont entendu cela. Alors que la matrone enfermée dans le placard passait devant mon bureau, je lui ai suggéré d’aller chercher de l’aide, ce qu’il a entendu comme si je lui disais « d’aller au diable ».

J’ai alerté la directrice des ressources humaines, Barbara Shorten, de ce qui venait de se passer, et elle a demandé les noms des employés qui auraient pu entendre ce qui s’était passé. Je lui ai donné les noms et j’ai également parlé à un superviseur à proximité, qui a pensé que je plaisantais.

Certains employés prétendent avoir peur de moi, mais je ne sais pas pourquoi, car je ne suis pas une personne violente et je doute que la matrone enfermée dans le placard agisse en leur nom.

J’ai exprimé ma crainte que la matrone enfermée dans le placard puisse venir à mon bureau avec une arme à feu ou un couteau et tenter de me tuer. Je ne sais pas si cela a été pris au sérieux. On m’a dit qu’ils avaient parlé à la matrone enfermée dans le placard et aux témoins et qu’ils m’avaient recommandé d’éviter la matrone enfermée dans le placard, ce que j’essaie de faire depuis juin 2021.

Une fois de plus, je ne me sens pas en sécurité sur ce lieu de travail. La matrone enfermée dans le placard a eu des rencontres négatives avec d’autres employés et le personnel de l’immeuble du 11 Park Place et lundi, il a déclaré qu’il avait une capacité potentielle de violence à mon égard.

This is something that I am working on as suggested by a family member. They were most alarmed when I told them what had transpired earlier in the week. I didn’t really think about it before but it seems that I have no choice.

I do fear for my safety unlike those claims of coworkers being afraid of me. I have never challenged them to a fight as I am not prone to violence. I have said it before and I will say it again, I have a mouth on me. That’s it. I am all bark and since I wear prosthetics in my mouth, aka ‘dentures’ I have no bite whatsoever.

The Legume did think I was joking when I said I felt threatened and his folly showed his disregard for my well-being. What comes of this I couldn’t say. I think that this is, more or less, a matter of it being on record. What happens to la matrone enfermée dans le placard does not matter to me.

I am waiting to run this by Bill and my family member is also showing it to their spouse. Once their opinions are given, then I will decide what to do. I can easily see myself at work, doing my job, with one finger hovering over the ‘Send’ button should I decide to proceed with this action.

It’s my only recourse it seems as I am not one to challenge anyone to a fight. And I am definitely not bullshit.
