Mr. Big Ego.

I recently had a run-in with one of those "over self confident" guys. You know the type, the guy who think he knows everything about everything and as a result he thinks he is in charge of it all.

This guy had the nerve to to tell me that because he was part of the "lead" team, he would do what ever he wanted. This was after I had told him that my team would take the night shift for the next round of training. To quote him, "We are the lead team, so we will take whatever shift we want." It was all I could do not to reach over the desk and snatch him out of his chair. I held my self together and let it stand for the moment.

The next morning, I made a smart-ass comment about his team doing all the plans, since they are the lead team. He apologized for his attitude and ended up buying me lunch. Not a bad ending to a really rough start, but we will see how things progress as we get closer to "go" time.

If you are one of these guys, figure a way to check yourself. Because the urge to beat the attitude out of you is very strong.

AAAHHHHH!!!

Today I am not going to bash a person, I am going after software designers and Corperate America.

What the hell are they thinking when they design a program that is supposed to recognize different formats, bring them together and produce an end product,that actually works, but doesn't recognize certain formats. (Like the one used for my Project2.)

I am also pissed that some of the technology out there is so protected that it can't be used by any other software. WHY? Why would you do that to people?

"Buy our product but don't use it in any meaningful way. Because our products are specially designed to piss you off at ever turn of every project you will ever try to complete." Signed Big Business.

Seriously, it is ok if people use your products for more than just one task.

The medical world says stress related illness are on the rise....I WONDER WHY!

Thanks Corperate America. Your killing me!

The Drunken Hypocrite

I was sitting at a local drinking establishment with a long-time friend this weekend. We were having a great time until this girl he knew walks up and starts spouting off about how tattoos were so trashy and how they make people look dumb. But then she turn around and told us that she was going to get one on the small of her back in memory of her cousin. She said that because it had meaning behind it, it wouldn’t be like everyone else’s.

Now because she was a friend of a friend I did not verbally execute her on the spot. I simply showed her my four tattoos and told her the meaning behind all of them. Then out of nowhere people, who had been listening to this loud-ass, started showing her their tattoos and telling their stories. I lost count at 12 people who had to come up and show this girl that most people have stories and/or meaning behind their tattoos. What really pissed me off was she didn’t get it. She just thought she was better than everyone and her tattoo wouldn’t make her look like the “rest of us.”

I hope the artist messes up her tat. Sweet revenge from the “rest of us.”

Let me explain my position.

To start off, I have nothing against people who are not book smart. Measurable intelligence has nothing to do with the people I bash. I target the people who make decisions without fore-thought, common sense or any concept of reality.

For example: A meth lab blows-up and burns down the dealers house, then he complains that his insurance won't cover the loss.

Or a guy sets fire to an apartment building at 2 a.m. and says in court that he didn't think anyone would get hurt.

Or the drunk driver who kills an entire family while not being hurt and tells the police that he has driven drunk a hundred times and didn't think it was wrong.

These are just a few of the major dumb-dumbs on my list. People this stupid are too easy to rant about though. I like to get after the normal, every day Joe or Jane who say something that makes me wonder if they can actually hear what comes out of their mouth.

Ms. I speak without thinking

Have you ever met that person whose tongue apparently has NO connection to their brain? Yup, that fuggin girl is in my biology class. I have no idea how she has made it this far in life. Every time she speaks I get dumber.

She is on the list!
