Jordy was the man of the house because his father was a drunk. He was the first college graduate of the family. His mother fussed over him and said he was special.
Soon he discovered that there were people smarter, better looking, and in higher positions in the world. Jordy’s pride was hurt. He thought he was entitled to be the best.
He put down co-workers, made light of their flaws, and snuck behind them and whispered demeaning things. This made Jordy feel significant to see others so fragile until he was fired and unable to get work references.
Crow On The Wire 
A morality tale indeed. I hope Jordy learned his lesson.
Hope he learns humility. 🙂
Blunt and pointed at the same time. Excellent.
Thank you. 🙂
I’ve had my share of the Jordys of this world.
Me, too.
