I’m really crabby, and a little drunk:cool: so if this rambles a bit…SO FUCKING WHAT???
Yesterday I took my dog in to the pet groomers to get his nails clipped. “He really needs a bath. You don’t have an opening for tomorrow, do you?” I ask. “Sure” says the lady. “10:00 a.m.”.
So, I have a very heavy schedule today. I have to do some work for my regular job, and also teach a class for my side job. My wife takes our (stinky) dog in at 10a.m. to the groomers.
“Geez. Your husbands nuts. We made no appointment for 10:00.”
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
So now my wife is screaming at me on my cell phone! “you lied to me. there was no appointment!”
YES THERE WAS!!! Like 80% of everyone in this fucked up country she is incompetent and didn’t do her job right by filling in her appointment book!
You know what? Some people in this country need to go hungry…REALLY hungry for awhile! I’m meeting too many folks who just need to appreciate their jobs more. Enough to do a better job, anyway!
So then, I go to meet my client. (this is in regard to my regular, full time consulting job). This guy tells me that he isn’t ready for setting up the account today, and the only reason he made the appointment with me on a saturday is because his company pays him overtime for weekend work. You know what? Some people in this country need to go hungry…REALLY hungry for awhile! I’m meeting too many folks who just need to appreciate their jobs more. Enough to do a better job, anyway!
Then I go to do my gig for my part-time job. I’m instructing a DATT class (teaching cops how to fight, basically). One of the students is not a policeman, but an armed guard that a security company signed up. This guy is doing lousy in the class because he doesn’t want to learn. During a break I overhear him saying to another student that if anything ever happens during the course of his employment he wouldn’t do anything, because he isn’t risking getting injured for only $18 an hour! Christ Almighty! I’m only getting paid $15 an hour to teach the class, and that’s almost $10 less than I make at my regular job. This “rent a cop” get’s paid more than his instructor? And says he won’t do his job in an emergency?You know what? Some people in this country need to go hungry…REALLY hungry for awhile! I’m meeting too many folks who just need to appreciate their jobs more. Enough to do a better job, anyway!
Then, I come home. I get my mail. The property tax bill is in it.
Everything on it has gone up from last year. Everything EXCEPT the county’s cut. This year, for the first time in history, Milwaukee County elected a Republican as the County executive. And he kept his promise and lowered the counties cut of property tax. Yet, there is Milwaukee Mayor John Norquist on TV tonight, disparaging the cccounty Executive. You know what? Some people in this country need to go hungry…REALLY hungry for awhile! I’m meeting too many folks who just need to appreciate their jobs more. Enough to do a better job, anyway!
Then my wife and I go to a liquor store. My wife says she’s sorry for yelling at me on the phone today, and that she’ll buy me a case of beer to make up for it. I put some beer into the cart.
Then, a total stranger comes up to me. No big surprise. That’s how it is here in the Land of Cheese. Strangers always approach one-another and talk. We’re friendly that way.
But this guy blurts out…“I can’t believe you’re going to take THAT beer home and drink it. You must have no taste. No refinement” and he walks away. He didn’t even say this in a friendly or joking manner. He says this to a total stranger who teaches young men to fight/kill with their hands? He says this to a stranger who has had a bad day? What does he care what I drink? Had my wife not been there I would have yelled “Hey, at least it tastes better than your wifes pussy! And I should know!”
Instead I remained silent. ME! Silent!
Then, at the check out conter, the clerk rings this beer up for far more than it actually cost. You know what? Some people…
…Ahhhh…skip it!:rolleyes:
