a real update.....for the chopping block, the last one
Ok.......I realize that I haven't touched this damn thing LJ in a while and I don't miss it. I still read it, but considering some of things that I see posted on a daily basis........I'm wondering why?
GOD, WHAT A DICK!!
Yeah, well...you already knew that. So there's going to be some butchering of the friends list because, to be honest...what used to be easy to ignore innane and unending babble about nothing has gotten to the annoying level of tolerance. I got nothing against folks who want to post anything and everything that happens because that makes them happy. Hell, I'm all for it...do what makes you happy!
.....I just don't care, to be perfectly honest. There comes a point where it goes from "this really cool thing happened one day" to "in the last 5 minutes, GUESS WHAT!"
That and a few of those on the list haven't touched the thing in a long while and I think they may have been swallowed by the abyss of a real life. So congrats to them!
So while I'm not apologizing for this decision, I don't hold ill-will towards those on the removing block.....
What's the other thing? Oh...you'll LOVE this. It's almost along the same idea.
So....who works in an office type joint where there's a casual day? Like every friday, yeah? Ever notice the lifeless losers who make a huge deal about it? To be able to wear jeans or whatever instead of dressing in more professional clothing seems to be the end all, beat all HIGHLIGHT of these twerps little worthless lives. Seriously, it's a surprise they don't parade down the halls about being able to wear jeans at work. Or in some cases, look like a $2 trailer park slob offspring of not-so-distant relations.
Case in point...today. Today is the last day of the month and for Agilent, that means casual day. Something of a reward for the hard work throughout the month. I'd rather take a bonus...or extra FTO. Casual day means nothing to me....I've worked jobs where that sort of thing doesn't exist, and it WASN'T fast food or retail.
.....yeah...most of the people who bitch about having to wear professional clothing and make a huge deal about casual day are some of the laziest pieces of trash around. NOT all...just a lot of them, so it's no wonder really that they actually believe they deserve this so called reward.
So anyway, I come today dressed in the usual professional garb. Why?
I forgot. I don't care. I like the way I look in slacks, collared shirt, etc. I'm confortable. I continue to do what I want and what makes me happy. I forgot. Did I mention I don't care?

Now, keep in mind.....I really do like my job and MOST of the people I have to interact with on a daily basis. I've put some thought into it...and I really do have a sweet deal here, all things considered, but I'm pretty god damn grateful.
ANYWAY....
So what do I get upon entering the breakroom, on my way to coffee. And mind you, those who know know NOT to get in my way during the first trek towards the brew. People end up on the back of milk cartons for doing that. I just want my morning coffee...that's it. There's always the occassional moron and rude byproduct of the yuppie scumsucker world standing RIGHT IN FRONT of the coffee dispenser, babbling to what might as well be the MIRROR, completely oblivious that they're in the way. And it's DANGEROUS to be in the way.....
Unfortunately, Mother raised me to be polite about things, when what I REALLY want is to go "Hey, babbling bitch of the unending mindless dribble that is YOUR life.....you're in the way. Move...or be moved, or had you noticed there's a line behind you, your ass, and your ass's congressman? Now beat it..before I beat the decaf outta you."
....but anyway, back to the point of this casual day crap. What do I get upon entering?
"Oops...looks like SOMEBODY forgot it was casual end of month day"
"....yup, somebody sure did, but I'm sure somebody will survive somehow"
"...having a bad morning already?"
"No...why?"
"you seem a bit touchy about not remembering end of month casual day....."
"Nope...I'm well adjusted enough to not see this sort of thing as the highlight of my week *grin*"
"Right...that explains the sarcasm and cynicism"
"Actually, I'm always like that...and I'm openly making fun of you and the obsession with end of month casual day. Enjoy! *exits*"
The coffee was extra good after that.
And folks like that WONDER why they don't excel at pretty much anything. Short cuts. Easy way out. Bitching everyday is not a quality a mgr looks for, sorry to disappoint. But then hey...you can bitch about that too!
***************
So, my apologies to anyone who gets the axe. It is by no means personal......it will appear quite selfish and cruel and mean. But then think about it.....how often do we talk anyway? And how much is this REALLY going to matter in the long run?
so adios, best wishes, and thanks for all the fish!
...
....yeah, I know.......but I've been called worse and I didn't care then either.
