This is a blog. This is NOT peer-reviewed. This is not science. The stories I tell are mine. For those of you who don't understand: These stories are told from my point of view. They are my opinion and only that. They are my memories, however I choose to remember and/or embellish them. The resemblance of characters in my stories to anyone in my life is not completely unintentional, however, I strive to protect their identities; because seriously, the shit they do and say is humiliating and stupid.

Oh...I'm telling these stories because my therapist thinks it'll help my mental and emotional well-being.

Some Days Bosses Deserve to be Shot.

Imagine:

A young woman—-who shall be dubbed Baby Face Nelson after the famous car thief–-starts a new government job as a grizzly bear technician. Her new boss sends her to a cattle ranch by herself to check on a report of a problem grizzly bear in the area.

Keep in mind, she’s a female bear biologist working for the government in Montana. What could possibly go wrong?

At sundown, after sitting in her truck all day and seeing no bear, she prepares to leave. Only her truck won’t start.

What does she do?

She grabs her bear spray and prays the bear doesn’t show up while she checks under the hood. She can’t for the life of her figure out how to get the truck to work…

…nor can she get back in the truck because the doors are locked. And the keys are inside.

Shit.

By now it's completely dark. With no other option, she dashes across the field to the house and pounds on the door. No one’s home. She runs to the barn, finds a phone and calls her boss. He doesn’t answer. She waits for hours, calling, and hoping the bear doesn’t show up. Figuring she’s going to spend the night there, she decides she’s needs more substantial shelter than an open barn. She sees an old car and runs to it.

By some small miracle it’s open, the keys are inside, and it starts!

So on one of her first days of work, she becomes a car thief. Praying she can return the car before the rancher gets home and notices it’s missing, she pulls into her boss’s driveway and bangs on the door. She explains what happened then says, “Quick, we can make it back before they notice the car is missing!”

So what does her boss—the one who sent her out alone, in a broken down truck and refused to answer his phone because he thought it was his ex-wife calling—do?

That’s right, he calls the rancher and tells him, his new tech stole the car.
