Putting Up With a Paralegal Parasite

Why are some men idiots? As a man, I realize my own tendency to grovel in the muck we call masculinity but I have my limits. Jaimie is using a paralegal to take care of some legal documents and this guy has proven himself an incompetent jerk. First, it takes him forever to follow through on things he knows needs his attention. Second, he piece-meals information so we never know exactly what is going on until it is crunch time. It got so bad that Jaimie got discouraged with dealing with him so asked me to communicate with him hoping that he’ll perform his job better if it were a man breathing down his neck. This did work, somewhat. But this isn’t my problem. My problem is that the guy keeps hitting on my girl. I’m baffled by this blatant disrespect and unprofessional act. She has told the gentleman (and I use that term – loosely) that she has a boyfriend several times. Now, after talking with me on the phone, you would think that the man would have the sense not to hit on my girl. Well, he doesn’t.

A couple of weeks ago he called and had her come sign some papers. On her way out of the door he ask, ‘so when are me and you going out?’. Naturally, Jaimie told him never but the nerve of this guy. Here I am being the cool brother trying to get some business taken care of and he’s making moves. Now, based on hood politics, I have the right to call him up and cuss, not curse, but cuss him out. I would venture to say that a combination of a right jab to the stomach and a left to the jaw is in order. But I’m grown now and I can’t resort to such violence. But I want to… badly. What I will do is put him and his company on blast. As soon as all of the paperwork is complete, I’m going to post his company’s name and tell the world just how despicable and unprofessional of a paralegal he his. The bastard.
