Pot and Booze.

This person managed to spell my name right, and correlate it with a marajauna cigerette. Then he went off the deep end and drew a martini. I can actually think of a reason for that, but, that would be discussing someting I already mentioned I wouldn't discuss. 

Seeing a pattern.

If you can't read it, this one says, "Joynt is a fag." I'm gay? That's a fairly 90s jab. Com'n, its the 21st century. Can't you call me an insidious member of the secular agenda, or an islamo-fascist. Or at least insinuate that I'm a pedophile like that last guy?

But, who doesn't love kids?

I'm gonna jump ahead, and just assume that this is not stating that I have great reverence for the children of our nation, and volunteer daily tutoring underprivileged students, and instead making a clear and concise, if libelous and false, point, that I am a pedophile. Though it is sort of vauge.

Nah uh!

Its hard to add to this one. I should be glad that whoever did this has enough reverence to my rank to include my title. Unless they were worried they'd offend another, more powerful Joynt.

But... but /what/!?

This person seems to have trouble constructing a proper sentence. I like it in the but? But what!? I'm on tenterhooks to see where this writer goes with this one.

No, /you're/ a gaylord!

According to this, I'm homosexual, and enjoy anal intercourse. Also, we employ a 7th grader.

I'm confused.

What's the point of this one? My name sounds like a term the describes a marajuana cigerette? I like to imagine that whoever wrote this was merely trying to associate the image with the word, and failing miserably. "What the hell is this called... L-2's name sounds like it... I know! A JAint!"

For clarification, L-2 is a callsign that I happen to use.

Maybe its not me?

Maybe its someone named Jont? Thats a name people have, right?

Obscured

This one's difficult to make out, because someone seems to have scratched it out. Seems not everyone hates me.

The Revisioning

Intereasting. This bit accompanied the other Nazi graffiti, in the same stairwell, and was painted over at roughly the same time. But, recently, someone seems to have traced over what it orignally said. Now, as it is now it says, "Joynt - you're hard? I know you are is that would be glad to beat the shit out of you!" Originally, it had some bit about Nazis. If I recall correctly, the original text was, "Joynt, you think you're hard? I know some Nazis that would be glad to beat the shit out of you." Apparently, being a Nazi isn't as bad as being a POSER Nazi. Kinda hard to be insulted by it though. The guy who wrote it did affiliate with Nazis.

A Beginning

Okay, so, I'm sure its very difficult to see this one, taken from my cell phone, but, it seems a fitting start. Many years ago, when I was just a wee rookie mall cop, someone put some graffiti in one of the stairwells alleging that I, somehow, was a National Socialist. Now, I generally oppose fascism, and I dislike Nazi's even more so. Perhaps its because I'm a card-carrying member of the ACLU? I'm not sure. I can't imagine what I did right off the bat to make someone do this. The text is, "Joynt is (later changed to 'wishes he was') a Nazi, with a swastika to the side there. Despite being repugnant, I have to applaud the author. At least he had the good decency to fling an insult that didn't have to do with drugs or sex.

Work Hate: An introduction.

So, I've started a blog. Why? I'm not entirely sure. Something to occupy my time. Anyway, a few things to start.

The purpose of this blog (at least, right now. I reserve the right to expand, completely change, or foolishly keep, this blog in any way I see fit) is to 'document' (read: display proudly) some graffiti that's been about my work place concerning me. Possibly others. Why? Well, quite frankly, this is new to me. To inspire such contempt, that co-workers will resort to vandalism to express their anger at me, is something I've never encountered before. Does it mean I've arrived? Possibly. Possibly not. It is difficult to determine if this has any bearing on my actual leadership ability, given that those who wrote such things weren't competent or dedicated enough to their profession to not vandalise the property they protect. 

"Protect?" I can hear you asking. Alright, I can't hear you asking, but someone would be surprised. Some facts about me and my workplace:

1) My last name is Joynt. That's about all the personal information I'm gonna give out. Those who've worked with me know who I am. And I'm only mentioning this because its a name that happens to be in most of the graffiti.

2) My rank is Lieutenant. What exactly that means, or what exactly I do will also not be mentioned.

3) I work in a mall security department, so, that's where that rank comes from. Which mall, in what location, for what company, etc. will not be mentioned or discussed. If you've worked with me, you know. If not, it doesn't particularly matter.

Anything I post here will be devoid of identifying information or any information about operations or the post. Reason being, I signed a lot of scary stuff, and none of you need to know anyway. Likewise, depending on what Blogger allows, responses will either have to pass through me, or will not be allowed at all, to prevent the above information from being displayed.

All that being said, lets see where this goes.
