My spydies must have ESP

#1

Post by vampyrewolf »

I had given my old ladybug to my sister, just a little while back. I had planned on getting the SS Dragonfly and didn't need a 'small' one anymore(I know it's the same 1.875" as the cricket, it just seems tiny on the ladybug).



Well, I bought a Blue Ladybug on friday. Liked the color, and they tried to reduce me to an xacto for work(from the wegner jr/cricket).



well, to get anywhere:

Sitting here at the comp today typing and eating junkfood. I take my eyes off the wrapper while I'm opening it(sticking the tip through and cutting the top off) and the ladybug changes the angle in my hand, jabbing my finger on the other side of the package. *OW, bleeding well from a small hole in the left index finger*



I tell yah, it must have known it was a replacement! and getting revenge.

Spydies do get quite jealous, don't they? Why did they try to force you to use an X-acto? The blade on those is so brittle it seems more dangerous than a knife 3 times its size.

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

they "decided" after the events of the 11th. The figured if I went nuts and went after them a 2" razor sharp xacto was safer than a 2" serrated... and yet they keep a 5" serrated in the kitchen?

I had to another 'speed trial' with the manager to get my cricket allowed again... 20 me:4 them... I got my cricket allowed again. it was taking me 45minutes to deflap 20-30 boxes. I was doing them in 20 with the cricket.

I have the yrs of experince with knives, they tried to saw through the flaps(I just zip the flaps off). Even using the 5" kitchen knife, my cricket beat them(they figured it was the serrations).

So now I work with an xacto when I have lots of sheeple around(during supper shifts) and the cricket on latenight(when I only have 8 hrs to work and 8.5hrs of work).

Vampyre that really sucks! I can't say I'm suprised, but still. My guess is that they watch you like a hawk now. I've experienced a similar situation in the past. Man... I can't express how angry it makes me. Don't give up your edge!

Guess they definately won't go for the Harpy then <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
I've never known a knife go through cardboard boxes like the Harpy, talk about hot knives and butter.
