Things bug me

Ok people, the time has come yet again for a negative post. I feel the past few posts have been rather positive, so now that I have done my required positive thoughts let me give you a few crappy things that have been going through my head as of late.

1. I went to college for four years ... to do what? Let me give myself a few pats on the back for a minute: I'm smart, I'm creative, I come up with good ideas and I'm more organized and clean than anyone of the face of this earth. So why in the world can I not get into the work industry I want to be in? I know that I don't have much experience, but nobody does when they first start out. After I graduated college I got a job selling furniture - don't you dare make fun of me, it paid the bills! Now I'm working as the accountant/school administrator/HR person/business manager/marketing manager/advertising manager/everything else you can think of "person" for a small company. I think I've decided that I will never be able to break into the marketing/advertising/PR industry. People who are hiring: Don't just look at experience, take a risk on someone like me and I wil GUARANTEE that I will be the best employee you've ever had. Damn the failing economy and the people with 20 years experience taking all the jobs that I should have. I went to school for four years, graduated Suma Cum Laude, was overly involved in all aspects of campus life which gave me a TON of great experience, and my resume doesn't even get a freaking GLANCE because I don't have 5 years experience. That's crap.

2. Stupid people and their judgmental views of other people. 'Nuff said.

3. The "bankrupt" airlines. Ok airline people, this might be a hard concept to grasp. So, you're trying to sell more airline tickets to make more money? LOWER THE FREAKING PRICES! I can't tell you how many times I've been on an airplane that's less than half full. I bet if the prices were a bit lower the plane would have reached its capacity. Less money is better than no money, right? Greedy turds.

4. Health Insurance companies are ROLLING IN THE DOUGH. Both Brandon and I are extremely healthy, young people. Why in the world am I forking out $200 bucks a month "just in case?" It's scary to think about how much health insurance is going to sky-rocket by the time we have kids. It's not fair to the people who can't afford it.

5. That brings me to another point. For all the people who are living off welfare and "beating the system" just so you don't have to work: you are bad people. When Brandon and I first graduated college and I was supporting both of us making $8 per hour, we were able to squeeze by. We never applied for government help, though we qualified for almost everything. I understand that there are people out there who need the help to survive, which is fine, but some don't need it and don't care to ever get off it. You're the reason why taxes are SO freaking high!

6. If you decide that you want to exercise, I'm all for it. If you decide it's best for you to ride your bike in order to do so, good for you! If you decide that just because you're on a bicycle that the laws of the road do not apply to you, you belong in the "bad people" category like in #5. Please quit running red lights, I really don't want to hit you with my car cause then you'll sue me and get what little money I have to pay your medical bills because you can't afford the over-priced health insurance premiums.

7. The only mail Brandon and I get is credit card applications. Usually about 5 per day ... FIVE. Leave us alone! I hate all people who live in Wilmington, DE.

8. I went to a party last night. Everyone was supposed to bring something. I brough cake and a bottle of wine. I can't stand people who come to parties empty handed "cause I didn't have time to make anything.'' What a bunch of crap! I didn't have time either, yet I still managed to buy a cake and a bottle of wine. The worst part is that these people usually end up eating the most, taking the last piece of cake when you got none for yourself. Idiots!

9. My boss - Like I said in #1, I have some good ideas about how to promote things, how to make things more organized, etc. On more than one occasion I have told my boss about some of the great ideas I've had for his business. On more than one occasion he has looked at me like I have lobsters crawling out of my ears. On more than one occasion he has "thought" of the same idea I presented to him just a few days earlier and told me that he has the best idea ever! On more than one occasion I've wanted to slap the crap out of him.

10. Spoiled brats - I work with a girl who acts like a spoiled brat. If her computer doesn't work, all she does is sit there and pout. She doesn't even make an effort to try to fix the problem, she would much rather complain to me about it and mope around like her life is about to end. Sometimes I want to slap her too.

Ok, I feel much better now. These things have been really bugging me lately. Thanks for letting me vent.
