I suppose I might consider this my little vent in this world. Why am not writing this in a journal? Because someone might find some entertainment in what I have to say. If no one does, fine. I got to vent.

I'm at my girlfriend's house waiting for her to come home from work. I'm so tired I might fall asleep in my bowl of popcorn. Wednesdays are staff meeting day at my job. It sucks because we don't get paid for them and they aren't considered part of our normal hours. We're supposed to get "comp time" for them, but that's BS. Anyway, they're at 8:30AM. For some of you that isn't early, but when you were at work until 9 or 10 the night before and have to work until 8PM on Wednesday, it's really crappy. I feel like I might just as well set up a cot there Tuesday through Thursday.

I have the crappiest boss on the planet. I never knew people like her existed in this world. One of my co-workers (not the best in the world either) was physically sick at work on Monday. She told our manager that she threw up and she wanted to go home, but our manager wouldn't let her go. Tuesday, she called in sick and Boss was pissed. So today, she missed "Staff Meeting" and Boss asked our supervisor to call her. Supe got off the phone and said "She said she forgot all about staff meeting but she's trying hard to get here." Then Boss said "I don't care if she's bleeding from her eyes, I want her here." How inappropriate is a comment like that? She's supposed to be a manager. She is supposed to set an example for us. She's not supposed to create a hostile work environment. I think it was around last Christmas when I got the flu and I called in sick on Tuesday. I felt like shit the next day but I thought "I'll go in for staff meeting and see how I feel." I went in. I sat there through the hour long meeting. I finished up a couple of things. Then, I raced to the bathroom and lost my cookies. I came back out and told Boss that I was still sick. She looked me straight in the eye and said "I have no fucking sympathy for you." The Big Boss (CEO/partner/all around big man) came up to me and asked if I was ok. I said no, I'm sick. He told me to go home then went to Boss and said "Why isn't going home? She's sick." To which Boss replied, "I can't spare anyone. She has to stay."

i need another beer....and more popcorn.

You know what I love? I love Comedy Central and Adult Swim. The only TV I watch anymore. It's funny to me that I watch these because I'm very much into being politically correct and I'm a pretty big activist for equal rights among races, sexes, etc, and I watch programs that are very much the opposite of that.

You know what else I love? Magic Hat beer. #9 is flavored with apricot. Which sounds REALLY nasty, but it is soooo good. I highly recommend it.

Ok, so I'm sitting at work and I'm about ready to have a malfunction. I don't understand what happened to common sense in this world. I don't understand how dumb people can be. I used to trust that most people on our planet (even my sister-in-law) had at least a grain of sense in their being. Now I realize that a growing number of people just aren't real bright anymore. For example, I work in the travel industry and we post our rates as air inclusive and land only. I had a person ask me if land only meant that air was included. Now I'm not real sure how to be clearer about it.

Someday my friends and I are going to pitch a sitcom to the major networks about a travel company. We've titled it "Rez." We've got some pretty good stories. Enough to last several seasons. Between the bizarre office relationships, horrible cases of nepotism, and all the idiots of the world I think we'll make a mint.
