Beanhead Squeakypants
Wanna hear some gossip?
Besides my own web desing company, I sub-contract for another tech firm doing all their web design. They recently merged w/ another company. I recognized the name of the company they merged with, and asked my “boss” (for lack of a better word) about it. It turns out that my ex (whom I will herein refer to as “Beanhead Squeakypants”, or just “BS”) works there. Gawd.

Beanhead Squeakypants is such a dork. Every time we’ve ever seen eachother since the breakup in 1990 (+/-), BS has made a scene or been stupid about it. One time, the only time I ever tried to “be civil” by actually speaking to BS, BS tried to make me look bad- I tapped, said “excuse me, have you seen where so-and-so went-….” and BS pulls away and screams “get your hands off me!”. Everybody turns and looks. BS made this big scene and I played the adult role and walked away. Once I was far enough away, BS screamed across the place calling me a way-uncalled-for obscenity. Let me tell you something. You don’t try to make me look bad and not have me ruin your day. Well, let’s just say I want ape-shit on BS’s ass AND the new love-interest. They paid the price. I don’t regret it. I’d do it again. Damn I’m good.
All other times, Beanhead Squeakypants would stop, turn around, and walk away REALLY fast. One time we were in college at the same time, and you had to take these standarized tests in order to graduate. At the last one, in walks Beanhead Squeakypants to take the test, sees me, and leaves. So… he didn’t graduate on time because of me??? Believe me, they are NOT lenient about letting you just “make it up”. What a fucking dork.
So anyway, now Beanhead Squeakypants is working at the same place I am sub-contracting for. I talked my “boss” and gave him a heads-up. I warned him that Beanhead Squeakypants has behaved badly around me in the past, and that he’d better not have us work together. I told him it really didn’t bother me, but that it was only fair that he knew. I really don’t want anythying to come between me and “boss”, he’s a great guy and I like working w/ him.
Truth is, a small part of me would love to be shoved into a situation with Beanhead Squeakypants so that BS would be forced to see how well I’m doing; I own my own busines doing what I love, I have a bigger, way nicer house, but material things aside, I am so freaking happy with who I am and where I am in life, I KNOW it’d just drive BS insane.
See, you have to understand something. Beanhead Squeakypants could NOT be in a realtionship w/ somebody who was his equal or better. BS was a failure at school (college). BS’s mom would stand there in the kitchen looking at the grade-report going “I… I… I…” (I is for Incomplete), right in front of me. BS just would stop going to classs, not even bother to withdraw. When Beanhead Squeakypants first came into my life, I had no idea what I wanted. I was way younger, didn’t know what I wanted to “be” when I grew up. So long as BS was the one who was ahead (in college, at least registered), BS could feel superior. But then what started to happen, is *I* started going to the same college and FINISHING my classes, I picked a major and stuck to it, I had direction and I was succeeding. That was too much for Beanhead Squeakypants. The end result was a new Fuck for Beanhead Squeakypants, one with no college, no direction, and a dead-end, pathetic job, worse than anything I even had as a teenager. I’d heard things afterward about the new Fuck, and not to believe everything I hear, they were later confirmed.
Anyway, mostly I hope to never run into Beanhead Squeakypants or Beanhead Squeakypants’s Fuck (now spouse). But if I do, I just hope it’s civil. What will happen next? I have no idea. I have a new gig w/ “boss” to do work w/ another client. Will I run into him? What will happen? Ugh.
