Handicapped.....or not Handicapped?

People never cease to amaze me with their laziness.

There is a special place in my heart for those people that are handicapped, whether it be mentally or physically. I thank God every day that I am healthy and that I don’t have any physical or mental handicaps. What bothers me are the lazy people that somehow or another are able to obtain a handicapped sticker or placard, which allows them to park in a handicapped parking space. I speak about the ones that work at my office. I know two or three employees that are actually handicapped, so they deserve to park in a handicapped space, BUT, I see two or three more that are no more handicapped than the man in the moon. I don’t consider being lazy and having a fat butt as a reason to be able to park in a handicapped spot, but we have a lady here that does it. I do realize that some people can manipulate their doctor and have him give them a signed document stating they are handicapped. Shame on them and shame on the doctors.

The handicapped places are for the handicapped, not the lazy. Unfortunately, I have some people at my office who feel their laziness should be rewarded with a handicap placard. Just this morning, an employee who always tries to get a front row parking place, parked in a handicapped spot. All of a sudden, he produces a handicapped placard……….so, now he is handicapped? It sure did not look like it when he walked normal after getting out of his car. Those type of people make me sick to my stomach.

Another thing that bothers me in the workplace are those employees who are always doing manipulative things to get other people in trouble. There is a female in our department that is always waiting for that opportunity to slap a sexual harassment suit against someone. I have learned (after many years of working here), to stay away from her, stay out of her office and not carry any type of conversation with her unless it is business related. Unfortunately, there are some other men who have not seen through her and are mesmerized by her “beauty.” In my opinion, she is not attractive or beautiful, but she sure likes to lead these men on and she always seems to wear strong perfume. She is also in everybody else’s business. These men have no idea what kind of trouble they can get into if they make her mad. She can and will make their lives miserable. One wrong word said to her and they WILL be toast.

This evening is another storm spotting class at OSU/OKC. It starts at 6 pm and finishes at 9 pm. Several of my REACT team members will be attending, so I hope we have a good showing. I took this class twice last year, but I always like to keep taking it because I learn something new every time I attend.
