To All Drunks

     I have gotten drunk a couple times in my life. I'm what they call a happy drunk like my grandfather was. We're the kind of drunks that have fun and laugh a lot and do things to make others laugh. I know we're annoying but we don't talk a lot and don't cause problems.

     However there are many people including members of my own family that don't know when to stop drinking. Wave a bottle in front of them and they will drink one after the other till they either vomit or pass out.

     In between all these drinks I have to hear things I've heard a million times before. To make it even worse an hour later they repeat once again.  I also have to hear them talk about how wonderful they are. "I'm so smart, I'm so beautiful, everyone just loves me, etc,etc,etc."

     Then when you can no longer listen to them they become angry and the climate gets even worse.
Sometimes it even rises to them damaging and throwing things.

     Now if  you know this is what happens when you drink, why would you do it? If you want to behave like that I don't want to be your hostage. I don't want to listen to your crap. Leave me the hell alone.

     I wish you could see yourselves when you're drunk. You are sloppy, you slur your speech, you're clumsy, and just plain disgusting.

2010 Census

     Answer me this. If the census is supposed to be anonymous how are the census takers going to houses where the census wasn't returned to make people fill them out ?

Arizona and the New Law

     The governor signed the new law into effect saying that the police can demand to " see your papers" to prove citizenship if they think you are illegal.

     So let's see, anyone can be illegal. We've got people of all races living here legally. I'm sure we must also have legals here who don't speak a word of English as I'm sure there are folks living in other countries who speak perfect English so language can't be a tell.

     I'm a middle age white English speaking born and bred in Illinois, female and I don't know if I want to go to Arizona now. Unless they promise to deport me to a nice tropical island somewhere.

Nice Bank Scam

     I over drew my checking account. I understand it was my responsibility and my fault, however our bank needs to take responsibility for their part also. What did they do you might ask?

     When the account was opened we asked for monthly statements, we did not get them. My husband went into the bank and asked for the previous 4 statements and that we please receive statements from then on. They again did not send any more statements.

     Yes I should have kept after them but I don't think I should have to. How stupid are these people I wondered at first and then I figured they do this on purpose so people will overdraw and owe them large fees. Thanks a lot you jerks!

Kudos To New Reality Show

     I just happened to catch this new reality show called " Undercover Boss ". The show consists of a CEO or company owner, going undercover as a new first day employee starting at the bottom. He works for a day at some of his locations where they don't know him and teach him the job and whatever it is he has to do it.

     I have been saying to various bosses that I've had in the past that I think it's very important that they spend at least one day doing each of the jobs they expect their employees to do. An hour or two is not enough. They need to go through the day like everyone else does to learn what is working well in the company and what sucks and can be improved.

     Don't tell me it's easy and you can do it better and faster till you fill my shoes and actually do it. If you really want to know how it is spend a week at the job. Companies could be so much better if they listen to the workers rather than the bunch of corporate kiss butts they hire for their higher management and corporate offices who don't know a darn thing about what they make policies and idiotic decisions for.
