What would a movie be without this guy?...
I mean... I already have really strong comic relief in the form of the guy at the plant whose main assignment was to convince me that global warming is a hoax. (During my last there week he was practically in tears, pleading with me, complimenting my itelligence, etc. I almost felt bad for him.) Of course, he's Caucasian and this guy is Philippino, so it will be a nice contrast. (I'm dedicated to equal opportunity comic relief.) Plus, they're really spread apart from each other in a temporal sense. You get that kind of wry rhythm where comical characters are introduced intermittently throughout the movie and by the end, as the viewer, you pick up on it the second you see the guy. You know... you cut to a medium close-up of his face with a kind of nondescript look on it and the later in the movie it occurs, the bigger the laugh the second they show the guy? I think they did it in Napoleon Dynamite.. Ahhh... it'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry.
Today was my first day of training with the
U.S. Census Bureau. Of all things--a government job. It was held at a neighborhood church and there were about 20 people in the group, all from nearby neighborhoods. There were two columns of cafeteria tables situated horizontally to the podium from where the administrator conducted the day's activities. We each got a nifty bag with the U.S. Census Bureau logo plastered across the front and containing some booklets and office supplies. We also each got an envelope with paper work that need to be filled out. Most of the day was spent completing the paperwork and in the afternoon they took our fingerprints--2 set with each taken by a different fingerprint taker-person.
A fella by the name of Vincente ("Vint") Carmona (seen above) was already seated in the far left position at the rear-left table. There were only three rows. I sat at the far right of that table. It turns out ol' Vint's an actor. Just think... he can play himself in the movie.
He knows... there's only one "
Vint", baby. That's probably why he's harassing me--he's a theatre thespian in his own right and he sees the blockbuster potential. That's a sharp eye ya got, Vint. I like your moxie. Maybe we can work together some day. Scroll down about two thirds of the way on this
Copy and Pastry cast page to see a brief biogrophy on Vint. He's even got an
IMBD page. How about that? "Vint"... my god, is that a cool name...I'm talkin' Northern California, I-don't-give-a-fuck-
what-you-think-of-my-odd-nickname cool. I mean, this gato is cooler than the other side of the pillow. Check out that stash!! Anyway... he says he's in "Accounts Payable." I said, "Maybe I'll put you to work. I'm owed a bunch."
Vint, being the nice guy that he is, decided to strike up a conversation with me. Of course, he wanted to talk about height and steered the conversation toward how height is such a great advantage. This is a very common tactic used by my stalkers. They know my brother's got issues with height--one of the main reasons he's targeted me--and so it's something they use to tie up my mind with irritation. The thing is, it really doesn't bother me except for the fact that I know it's coming from my stalking group. Inevitably, I bring up my brother and his issues. They know they can lead me into it. The strange part is howVint and the others think they know more about the situation than I do and that maybe they can convince me that I am wrong about it. Silly stalkers. So I got a grip on Vint early on. Vint was somewhat unique, though, in that he went on to elaborate on how in his country of origin, the Philippines, height is even more of an issue because the average height there is apparently less than in the U.S. Then he made another comment about tall people getting advantages over short people and it became clear that he's got a little issue with height himself. Awwwwe.... poor Vincente.
Then, a young lady name Lauren Nham (seen here) came and sat in the empty chair next to ol' Vint, leaving the chair between us unoccupied. Look at thaaaaat--she's giving the middle finnnnngerrrrr. Awwwwe... that's so grown-up. She was real nice too. Vincente asked her what her country of origin was and I think she said VietNam. (I don't know if it's obvious that someone of Asian descent with the surname, Nham must be from there, but I don't want to assume that.) One of the most common tactics in gangstalking is to intentionally attempt to irritate the target in the hopes that they will make an angry outburst so they can have them labeled a violent or angry person, like Vincente was trying to do with all the height stuff. This false information then makes it to Fusion Centers, or the Psychotic Radical Feminists' Database--or more likely both--and the extremist nut-bags who have access to the info carry out their harassment protocol--as Vincente and Lauren were doing today.
As Laurie, the director, guided us through the pile of paperwork, we got to a form that was optional. I couldn't locate this optional form in my packet. Since I knew Vincente was part of the game, it was pretty obvious that
Lauren Nham, Pro-Bono Consultant at the
Women's Community Clinic of San Francisco, Associate Product Manager
at Reframe It.com, formerly of
High Point Associates, and
Bank of America, and
frequent Twitterer, was too. (The internet is an amazing thing, i'un it? I don't even have to bookmark this stuff.) Her actions combined with Vincente's comments and the timing of her arrival are all things I've seen before. Well, I mentioned that I couldn't find that optional form in my packet. I decided that since it was optional, I would just ask Laurie (not Lauren) for it at the next break-- a normal adult decision, right? If I sat next to
another adult in that situation, I wouldn't even remotely consider it my responsibility to raise my hand to ask for the form for them. I would think that any normal 39-year old adult would be insulted by such a condescending, patronizing act. When Lauren rose her hand, I knew exactly what she was doing. I calmy said to her, "I do not need you to do that for me." She lowered her hand and a few minutes later rose it again and said, "We're short one form."
At the next opportunity, I calmly asked what it was that made her feel it was her responsibility to do this. Try as she might, she couldn't come up with an answer. I pressed a little, and then she leaned toward me, slightly squinted her eyes, and said in a pscyhotic half-whisper, "Are you getting angry?" Lauren... please. You aren't even close to being able to pull it off.
Speaking of Vint... most of the afternoon was spent taking fingerprints. As I said, everyone had to have 2 sets done. I had left my laptop bag on the chair between Lauren and I in while I was getting mine done. Lauren was off somewhere texting psychotic radical feminists. I believe it was during the brief interim between my fingerprint sets that I was looking in the opposite direction of my bag that I turned around to see Vint quickly rise from a half-bent position over my bag with a guilty look on his face. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Vint. Didn't your mommie tell you to keep your hands out of other people's stuff? Just to acknowledge the wittle bad boy's transgression, I walked over to the bag and latched it.
Will someone following this blog who's connected to the psycho-fems please, please tell them that my psychotic accuser, Kristen has been exposed as a liar and that I've been cleared of her false accusations? Please?
That fact that these people made it specifically into my class is somewhat bothersome, though. I guess the government definitely is involved.
The story just keeps getting better.
