Work, bosses, customers.

Face it. They all suck.

More on this topic later.

Ok, I promised more, so, here it is.
What is it with the majority of managers being two- faced and corrupt, to name a few things? hmmm? What is it about becoming a manager that turns even the coolest of people into complete douche-bags? I honestly believe a lot of managers, or at least mine, are wolf in sheep's clothing. "Maybe you are just at the wrong company"?, you say... I am. But they pay me too much to leave... sigh.

What is it about being a customer that makes most people automatically lose thier common sense? I know all these people can't really be that stupid in real life... Can they?

So, I work so I can pay for school, and I go to school to get a better job, but, since i Have to work full time, I have a hard time passing my classes, but, I can't go part time and still pay my mortgage, and pay for school... So, that begs the questions, "where does it end"? "How long is it really going to take me before I can just graduate and get a better job than the shit hole I have been slaving away at"? Its like this never-ending torture chamber of work and school, can't get a better job without school, can't go to school without a job,.... shit...

Well, that's all for now... we will see what irritates me next.

Myspace

Hmmm.... Myspace. I definitely have mixed feelings about myspace. I have met some neat, interesting people, made one real good friend just by knowing them on myspace, kept in touch with friends, and gotten hurt by people I though were friends. I have met skeezos, white trash, weirdos, nice people, good people, all sorts of people. It is addicting, as if we all don't have better things to do with ourselves... Meh, whatever. SO, the point, you ask? There is none. I am just ranting. Ok, so, I think that Tom, the creator of myspace is a freaking genius, and I am sure that he is raking in the dough. A couple of things that irritate me about myspace..
-Kids under the age of 17
-People that are solely looking for dates... um, gross.
-People that try to send you messages hitting on you when if they only read your profile, they would see that you are taken.
-People that don't read your profile at all, then send you messages, asking you about things they would aleady know if they had just read your profile.
-Skanky girls
-Skanky guys...
ohkay, I am repeating myself. Done.
Like all my stuff, I will add more when it comes.

Drama is dumb.

I have found that most often, the people that preach out against "drama" usually have the most tendencies for drama. People that complain about hating drama in their life usually are the ones causing, or contributing to the drama. Some poor sods are just drama magnents... Sigh...
Girls are Generally much more dramatic than guys. I know a girl, who, although claims to "hate drama" and live and work in a "drama free zone" is the Most Dramatic person I have ever met. Example. She stopped being friends with me because I was friends with her current off again on again flame. Drama often goes hand in hand with immaturity, which makes it so difficult to combat, because the person is naturally inclined to act as though they were a teenager, and, as everyone knows, teenagers are made of drama. SIGH. So, there really is no point of this post. None whatsoever, except to tell people how much I hate drama, dramatic people, and the drama in myself, and that I attract. (see, I did Not say I was drama-free. that is why I can bitch. I know my weaknesses)

COMMON FREAKING SENSE

USE COMMON SENSE. I WILL EXPAND ON THIS TOPIC LATER, BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE, USE THE BRAIN HE GAVE YOU!

Common Courtesy

I work in retail, and I am going to write about the irritating things people do. This will be a work in progress.
People in groups have an uncommon lack of common courtesy and common sense. I see this on a daily basis. One of the things that really bug me is people not paying any attention to store hours. Well, they either don't pay attention, or just don't care. Ok, so, here's the deal. If say, the mall opens at 9:00 AM, DO NOT show up at 8:30 and expect to be helped. Just because they are there, doesn't mean that they Can help you. Believe it or not, stores need to be opened, money needs to be counted, computers need to started, merchandise needs to be set up... It does not mean that they are there at 8:30AM to help you. Well, of course there is a flip side to that. If the mall closes at 9:00PM, Do Not expect to get full service when you show up at 8:50PM, let alone at 9:00. I understand there are situations in which you Must try at the last minute to do something important, but, unfortunately, it is rarely the case.

more to come.. this'l do for now.

Parental Aptitude Test

The PAT, or Parental Aptitude Test, is what I think should be necessary to procreate. You must pass many test, and have many requirements met to adopt a child. Why? So the child can grow up in a healthy environment, with the finances necessary, and the quality of the parent is assured. So, I ask, "why not make that a requirement for everyone"? Below is a start of my list of some of the requirements that should be in place in order for people to have children.
-proof of employment
-consistent employment over the course of at least 2 years
-a steady financial/credit record
-sufficient funds to cover hospital bills for birth
-enough income to support child, i.e. 10,000$ a year just for baby/child care needs. (depending on living expenses in area, etc.)
-proof of steady mental health
- the completion with a passing score of a general parental knowledge/common sense test

Seem like a lot to ask? They ask for much of this information to buy a house. Does it seem a lot to ask people to do these things when bringing a living, breathing, feeling child into this world? I think not.

So, in conclusion, use birth control, or common sense, I am sick of my tax dollars going to those individuals whom cannot support thier young. If you can't afford 'em, dont have 'em!
