Open letter to the drivers in my town

So help me god, I hate at least 90% of you people.
There are things on your car/truck/suv, they are called turn signals. Learn how and when to use them. Also, learn that after you've made your turn or lane change on the rare instance you use them. Learn to turn them off.
Also, I understand there is a speed limit. You may want to look into that once in a while. Granted, I'm not above a bit of speeding here and there. However, this does not mean lets see how fast we can make our civic/crx/mazda/(insert import here) car can go. Oh, and why do all these cars have to sound like a pissed off bumble bee?
Is that news paper or book so damn important to you that you must have it held up to your face while you attempt to drive? Jesus christ, pay attention to the road before you kill someone. Same goes for that cell phone. For fucks sake, put down the phone and drive. I can't wait for one of you fucks to run over a child. One of these days its going to happen.
To you tail gaters out there. I sincerely hope someone pulls you from your car one day, and beats the ever loving shit out of you. Thanks.
Lastly, would it kill some of you to actually yield the right of way to people once in a great while?
God forbid you get to where you are trying to go a full minute or two later than planned.

Now that my rant is over, here's a little addictive something to keep you busy for a while.

AOL Refuses to Cancel Service for Deceased Woman

When this woman's mother died in a car wreck, and tried to cancel her AOL service, AOL refused and said that her mother would need to call and cancel the service herself. Outrageous!



::note::

I know this is wrong, yet I somehow find this pretty funny.
I believe I earned a hell point for laughing.

I'm a what?!

So, there was a guy outside of my work, begging people for money. I was asked to tell the guy that he can't do that. Such is life, so I went and talked to the guy. Here's how the conversation went down.

Me: Sir, I can't have you begging for money out here. I'm going to have to ask you to leave the property.

Him: I'm not begging for money, I have a job and I work for a living! I'm just trying to get some gas money so I can get home!

(note: sounds like begging for money doesn't it?)

Me: (still trying to be nice) Sir, if you keep on I'm going to have to call the police and have you removed from the property.

Him: (extremely pissed) You'd do something that fucked up?!

Me: (still being nice) Yessir, I would.

Him: (even more irritated that I'm being nice) And you call yourself an American?!?!

Me: (still nice) Yessir, I do

Him: (Furious by this point) You're not an American, you're a fucking nigger!!!!

Me: (nice as can be) Have a nice day now.
(note:by this point, I'm actually waving to the guy)

There was some audible bitching none of which I paid attention to, as I kept waving saving "bye bye now, have a good day.".

Now, I have no problem with people who are down on their luck. Generally, I end up giving in to homeless people and pitch them a few dollars when I see them. However, if the establishment that you are begging informs of asks you to leave. Then I guess its time to got out of there. Then there's the racial slur. Now what amuses me most about this is, I'm not black in the slightest. I couldn't be confused for a black guy if I wanted to. Not to mention the problem with him using the word to begin with. I was hoping beyond all hope that some people who had heard him yelling would have beat the ever loving crap out of this guy.

There are so many things wrong with that whole situation. First and foremost the racial slur. I wish people would get beyond things like that. People know its wrong to use it. So, I'm not going to dwell on that point. Its just wrong. Secondly, this is partly what's wrong with our country. I stopped this guy from trying to get something for nothing. If he needed money that bad, he sure as hell wasn't hurting enough to NOT buy a pack of smokes. As he was walking away, I noticed him light up a cigarette. So he got mad that he couldn't get a hand out. Thats what's wrong, too many people EXPECT a hand out. I don't mind helping people that are trying to help themselves, people who always want something for nothing.

I could go on more of a rant, but I think its best I cut it there. Hell chances are no one reads this anyway. Just a side note before I cut out though. I'm not saying don't help the homeless or less fortunate. I'm just saying we as a country, shouldn't be so quick to just fork over money. I myself have been guilty of that if you've read this. I may not have the solution, I just hope someone, somewhere does.
and I'm done....

Another day, another dollar

So, I understand work isn't supposed to be fun. If you do have fun at your job, and you love what you do. By all means. More power to you. My job used to be fun, the people there used to have a good time. Not only did we have a good time, but we were one of the most productive workplaces in my company. This was a few years ago.

Now after a series of layoffs and restructuring, many people find themselves lost. I'm not talking about the people who were let go. I'm talking about the people still there. We don't know what to think from day to day. The leadership we are under now seems like a bipolar child who cannot make up his mind about anything.

Since the restructuring, now there are less leadership positions available. Meaning less places to get promoted too. Which also means more people fighting for fewer positions. The overall morale due to this, and the ever popular "good ole boy" system that's now in place, is horrible.
Maybe I'm a little old school, where I think that people should be promoted based on how they work, work ethic, and productivity. Not how much ass they can kiss. Maybe I'm just lost, one thing I do know for sure though. Its time to dust off that old resume, and find myself a better way to earn a living.

Sleep?

I love working late one night, and getting up early as hell the next day for work.
Nothing like walking around in a fog of mental incapacity due to lack of sleep. These days are some of my least productive days. Even now when I should be getting ready for work, I find myself procrastinating.
Yeah, going to be a fun day.
gone.

Damn

Wow, its been a long time since I made a real post on here.
Every now and then I just post a story from digg on here. I guess I just like everone does from time to time, got bored of this. I can't even say yes, I'm going to post more often. Cause lord knows, I'll never hold up on that. I will say I have somewhat of a renewed interest in it for some reason.
end.
