My Nemesis

It was August 2009 a sunny but windy day,which saw my boss come down onto the factory floor and ask me to do him a favour, there was this guy coming over for the printers job, i was to interview him and if i thought he was capable i was to hire him.
As the time of his arrival approached the sky turned gray, 2 pm arrived and out of a ford falcon wagon stepped Lou, he was dressed impecably for a job interview and he looked harmless enough, in the interview he was amicable, social and friendly, he knew his printing and seemed like an awesome person to work with, so i hired him.....DUPED!


So, Monday morning came and he arrived for work, i trained him on the machine but he didnt need much training, he picked it up rather fast, so the next week he went on afternoon shift, his shift......
His starting time was 2:30pm so at 2pm he came in early, so he could have lunch before work, he was sitting in the eating area so i went in there to get a can of coke,  i walk in and nod hello while getting a coke "WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? CANT YOU SEE IM EATING? FUCK OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!"
I thought something bad must have happened, so i quietly left and went back to the press, at 2:30 he came to the machine, smile on his face like as if nothing had happened...so i did the change over with him and i went home.....
The next day i found drawings of me, insults on the change over book, questioning the way i operate the machine, so i fired straight back, so over the next few weeks we had run ins, yelling matches, accusations etc....
The last argument ended in him putting his car keys between his fingers (like wolverine from xmen) and throwing punches at me, well none landed and i pinned him down on the floor, and he stopped, a co-worker saw him, and he got a stern talking to, well after a few more weeks of his bad temper and schizophrenic behaviour he was sacked..... my nemesis was gone...


Well...fast forward to October 2010 we desperately need another printer, no one has approached except someone called LOU! 
the boss and i looked at each other, laughed and threw his resume in the bin..... well need turned to desperation so the big boss had no choice but to hire him!
HE IS BACK, MY FKN NEMESIS STARTS WORK NEXT MONDAY!


I dont know what will happen this time, i will warn him that at the first sign of trouble i will not  back down and if he ever takes a swing at me i wont just pin him down, lets just say i am sharpening my keys as we speak..............


All i can say now is....BRING IT ON!

  2. That is some serious desperation for them to hire him again! I hope they'll keep a close eye on him!
