Eyes of a psycho


About 45 minutes ago, I came into contact with someone who I thought was seriously going to open fire. Let me back up....so about a lot a months ago (can't remember exactly) this guy called asking about how long scores for PPST are kept. I explained how UNO only keeps them for 5 years...blah blah blah. He then goes into how thats illegal and he has done all this research about how they can't destroy scores. He has explained this to people at UNO that are higher up than me and they basically told him the policies were in writing and he would have to take them again. He continued to spew out legal findings to back in up. After what seems like forever later, I finally got him off the phone and the evil co-worker and I were discussing the call. I guess its happened before and its nothing we control...
Flash forward to today. The psycho comes into the OFFICE. He had a real soft voice and just began questioning the "destroy test results" policy. Just the way he looked at me, made me want to run in the secure room and lock myself in. It was just a dead stare followed by awkward silence. The evil co-worker started listening in about the time he started explaining how he is mad at UNL, because they threw his scores in a burn pile, or however they destroy them at UNL, and how its illegal and he thinks someone should sue. I stopped really listening to the guy because I was distracted by all the red flags sticking out of him. But surprise, surprise, the evil co-worker got along with him and actually made him laugh. I wanted to kick her and give her some sign to be rude and let the psycho leave. But after this week, she was on her own. I was trying to think of something I could do to get out of the line of fire.
It was just a creepy feeling. He finally left and really had no purpose for coming into our office other than to scare the ba-je-bus out of me. Note to self: pick up a bullet proof vest on the way home.
