So I'm starting an anonymous blog just to get what is inside me OUT - I wanted to start my own website and then lacked the motivation.
So - to anyone who may read this and is a well-adjusted happy person, please don't continue as it's not my intention to poop in anyone’s happy parade. Consider this my free therapy to myself.
WORLD - To begin with, exactly what is going in the world SERIOUSLY? We're involved in a WAR - oops, my bad, two WARs, we've got nearly every other country on the planet pissed at us, and what does the average American talk about? American Idol - or Paris Hilton - or whatever other dumb sh*t that manages to roll across our radar. The average person, male or female, will generally go home, watch the boob tube, pop a few beers, praise JAYZUS (on the inside) shtoop their spouse if their lucky, get annoyed if their kids talk too much, fart, sleep and go to whatever soul-sucking job they've managed to plant themselves into. All the while bitching about the economy, the WAR(s), politics this politics that, abortion rights or no rights, religion (theirs is right everyone else will be eaten by Chewbacca or whatever) but all the while doing diddly to make their own lives BETTER. Better through charity - and I mean real charity, not the obligatory "I have to do this to go to heaven" bullshit - the kind of charity a person truly wants to do to HELP - ack. See, I need to do this more, cuz I'm so fully annoyed with everything I'm making no sense....anyway..
BREEDING - And here at home we have people who literally act as breeding machines that don't seem to give a damn necessarily on how they're raising they're kids - most parents when having a child when asked about either education or etiquette and what they expect out of their child generally give you blank stare that seems to mean "I'm supposed to care?" - AAAAHHH!! How the ever loving sh*t do you have children and then just NOT CARE what you're going to DO for them/with them, for the length of time they're going to depend on you??? And let's not forget those who when asked "what do you love the most?" and the answer is either "children" or "kids" followed by the obligatory sappy smile. What bullcrap - who the hell likes all kids?? And by all kids, I'm referring to the screaming little brats that think the world owes them something because mommy and daddy didn't have the first f*cking clue what they were doing when they created Baby Wonderful so now Baby Wonderful expects everyone to be the same as dear sainted mom and dad. BEAT THE CHILDREN - I'm sorry, but when the ba-jesus did we get away from this practice?? isn’t there some biblical reference, something like "spare the rod and child will suckith?" or some such? Call me crazy but the day a 10 year old needs a laptop, gameboy, x-box, cellphone, etc just to keep up socially is the day we - as a society - have gone waaay overboard in what consider to be needed amenities. Bah...arrg..
OFFICE SPACE - So here's another burning question - does working in a cubicle automatically diminish your intelligence? Seriously...HAS THERE BEEN A STUDY???? I would like to sign up for it if so ..... seems to me, the more "officey" (read - more cubicles per square foot) there is in any given area, the more time is spent on worrying how so and so is feeling about such and such than actually WORKING. Men and women alike - put them in a cubicle farm and watch the crazy commence - not only is mandatory to pretend to care when everyone's birthday is, but there's also the killer politeness - you literally HAVE to pretend you give a CRAP about a co-workers personal whatever - because God forbid you’re honest and say "PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, QUIT YAPPING, AND LEAVE ME TO MY SPREADSHEET - FOR ALL THAT IS HOLY, GO AWAY" because inevitably, the other person will be offended.......and really it seems like the same personalities are in any office environment; let's take a look:
1) The Manager: this guy seems to befuddle everyone around the office on purpose by making "almost sense" - you can almost catch what he/she wants but not entirely.
2) The Almost Boss - second in command, you have two choices here. The "I Don't Wanna Do Anything Because I Retire In Three Years" nice but ineffective personality, or the "I'm Totally Pissed Because I'm Not the Actual Boss So I'm Going To Take it Out On Everyone Around Me" person, who more often than not is a born again Christian - sh*t you not, look into it. The biggest, most insulting, makes me people feel bad douche bag person, is normally a scripture toting born again whatever.
3) The Stupid But Has a Huge Ego Bimbo - this woman can come in many forms, although she's usually the maker or bringer of the obligatory birthday cakes, so I guess that makes up for it. In any case, she's normally slow but thinks she deserves a better title, better job, better pay, even though her abilities are entry level even after 20 years (or more) in the job market, and she's never gone college. Don’t get on her bad side because you may get cake in your face.
4) The Peacemaker - could be male or female - wants everyone to get along, and will stir up office drama when there is none because some people don't act happy enough. This one makes me exhausted, so I'm gunna bail on the description.
5) Mr. Touchy Feely - elllg. No more words needed.
6) The 50 % of the office that would find this insulting.
7) The other 50 % that would say "shit, I gotta find a new job..."
I'm the 0% that loves abuse, bwoo ha ha ha.
Moving along ... hmm - see now I feel better. Splendid what venting to an online forum can do for one's psyche.
Onward and upward.
