Blacker.
Monday 20 August 2007
Hmmm.
After what I wrote in my last post, I came into work yesterday to be faced with a complaint suggesting that the security team had been racist. What happened was Bilbo - against my best advice - had responded, despite not witnessing the incident, to a report from some parents that their white children had been bullied off the dance machine in the arcade by some black kids. Bilbo told the black girls to go home and get their parents so he could speak to them. I told him there was no positive outcome here - there is no fucking way kids are going to march back to their folks and say they've been rumbled.
No: instead, what they clearly did was paint some pretty story and now there's this shit in print suggesting we handled it all badly, and, without actually specifically stating it as such, that the security team at this holiday park is on a par with The Third Reich. Like I give a fuck. Nothing will come of it, but it's a lesson learned.
I have two job interviews and several other possibilities this coming week. Watch this space.
