I'm a big fan of Karma.

I do believe in Karma......I don't believe in much, but that's another post. I also believe in sitting back and watching the assholes in my life get what's coming to them. Call me evil, but I think everybody gets what is coming to them...eventually. You just have to sit back and wait.

Case #1

Years ago I was a Special Education Teacher's Aide, big mistake on my part. In a high school no less. One of the students was horrible, threw chairs, threatened bodily harm etc. I feared for my older daughters' welfare, since she was a student there also. Because if I yelled at this kid, I feared he would go after my kid, plus he knew where I lived etc. Well I ended up quitting that job, for that reason and many others. I still saw that kid in town, and he still made me nervous, he is unstable to say the least.
Last week I ran into him in the nut house, also known as "behavior health". I was there transporting a patient. My silent evil twin inside me snickered all the way out to the truck. I don't know why he was there, but I still think he belongs in a high security prison.....he may still end up in one.

Case #2

My partner is an asshole, I believe I mentioned that a few thousand times before. He's young and closed minded. He's also a racist, a bigot and a major homophobic individual. If somebody pisses him off, the shitty words start to fly.
Saturday was the Jewish people's time in the spotlight, you name it, he was yelling it, at the dispatchers (not on air), stupid drivers etc. It was pathetic.

So lo and behold we get a call for a transfer from a residence to Hospice. They always suck...hard to transport out of homes and well a patient dying just sucks. Well now we get there to find an old man, alone except for the hospice nurse. He was quite chatty, but his living conditions were sad, he had a very empty apartment. Sadness abound.......his family lived out of state but where on the way. The nurse told us he was a Concentration Camp Survivor, escaped when he was 11. I didn't ask questions, but I wonder if he lost his family there.
My partner was speechless, very unlike him. I watched him and just thought, "there goes your Jewish hate...right out the window" This gentleman also didn't have a "Jewish" name, he had blue eyes and possible blond hair, but he was wearing a "Star of David" necklace. All the stereotypes had just vanished.
After we dropped off this patient, my partner just said........Damn karma just kicked me in the ass. I told him to remember it as a lesson learned. He had this vision of the Jewish people and well that man just about changed it. I hope.

On a funnier note, one of my gay guy friends at work believes my partner has bi-sexual tendencies......I said "But he's the biggest homophobe I've met here" and He said "Exactly".........interesting......
