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.
