So, I got to thinking.....

I am running around the web. Not really looking for anything in particular. I came across the following site http://pauldavidson.blogs.com/. I did not realize that I was laughing out loud and that people were staring at me as they walked by in the mall. I thought, "Hey, I can do this too. Of course not like Pauly D, but. I could place thoughts on the web and keep my job, even though I really do not want to keep the job."

My boss told me the other day that I need to keep my thoughts to myself and don't tell jokes that nobody gets as I have better things to do at work. I, of course told her that she was right and I vowed to do as told. Then I flipped her off (underneath my desk of course). I think that as a deterrent to biting my on tongue off in order to keep the stupid job in corporate America, I'll just rant and rave on the web.

I think that as I get older, the more I need to vocalize my thoughts. When I was younger, I just tried to keep people happy. Then I realized that it is not my job to ensure that every human being that I come in contact with is happy and that all of their issues are taken care of. Why is it that their are soooo many stupid people out there? I really get sick and tired of hearing people whine.

It appears that everyone needs to blame someone else for what is going wrong in their lives? How about a little responsibility?

Things that bother me:

1) Parents losing total control of their children (yes I do have child, and no, he is not a robot).


2) People who complain that there are no jobs....Let me clarify this one for you. I am way far too aware that there are not enough jobs out there that do not pay enough to support a dog let alone a growing family. But there are indeed jobs, just not pretty ones. I could not tell you how many times that I have picked up what some people would refer to as dead end or demeaning jobs in order to stay afloat. Nor could I tell you how many times I have taken on a second job, usually a crappy one at that, to make ends meet. This is life people! Get used to it! Stop whining, take what you can get work hard. Keep your eyes open for something better, but keep your thoughts and stupid jokes to yourself or else you will want to flip your boss off and then bite your tongue until it bleeds. uuuummm, ok, next

3) No corporal punishment, perhaps Pauly D's idea on rubber bands could be used in some fashion... http://pauldavidson.blogs.com/wfme/2004/04/todays_thoughts.html. I bet you that if corporal punishment along with involved parenting came back kids would start straighting up real quick, especially with the rubber band idea.

There is a whole lot more, but we'll stop there for now. Wow, this is really good therapy. Thanks for making me laugh Pauly D, we are best friends right? LOL
