I have quite had it with people who think that they own the people they hire (for reals, one step away from yelling at someone over people who aren't even our employees. Don't even get me started on what I have to say about how they're treating my husband). The exact words which come to mind are "It's called working for a living wage bitch, not indentured servitude--now fuck off before I break my promise not to assault anybody." Maybe that's why he left me at home to clean the house today...
Perhaps that's one of my biggest problems with going out into the world...I don't care what people think I am. And he's taking me to a place where, apparently, what people think of me does matter.
I don't care if you have more money than God, or you live in a cardboard box, I don't care what kind of car you drive or what brand of shoes you wear, I don't care if you went to Stanford or can't even read a book, I don't care if you could buy the county I live in, or can't afford lunch tomorrow (actually, I do kind of care about people who can't eat, but that's besides my point). I care about how you treat the other living beings you come into contact with.
Yep, I'm falling apart at the seams. And at the moment, I don't really mind. It's not even, "That time of the month" so I really have no valid excuse for hating the world today. It just seems to me that there are an inordinate amount of assholes floating around out there...

I suppose that the imminent prospect of my life turning upside down and inside out isn't making me feel more tolerant of the world in general, but damn, humanity can be a disappointing group...

ReplyDeletei'm with you on this one. It's people's actions that matter, not their bank account or educational history.
mc kitten,
Deletecharacter is supposed to count for something!! Okay, still working on that whole "calm" thing. Lol.
I know you're not, but I am laughing at this post. So sorry life is being a bitch but it's nice to know that other people have those days too. Hope it's better tomorrow.
ReplyDeletesunnygirl,
Deleteit's okay--I got a giggle out of your laugh, so it works out.
Thank you! It should be...
Hugs from your fellow ray of sunshine :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm struggling with a customer who I've had more run-ins with than I care to count. All coming down to my business makes it possible for her to keep her job. She can get my service elsewhere for a lot more money, or she can downgrade quality and save cash. She's not hostage with me or even bound by a contract. Yet every single time payment is due (twice a month) she goes into a tirade about me being a cold hearted money hungry bitch. I want to tell her where she can shove it but husband says I have to keep trying to work through it. F'ing business decisions stink!
Chickadee,
DeleteLol, always nice to have a companion in the sunshine.
Oh man, people like that are so difficult to deal with! I always wonder, why?? Like you say, you're not holding her hostage in a dungeon, no reason for her not to feel free to fuck off elsewhere...
My husband has much the same approach...Where do they get off with these reasonable and businesslike approaches?! Some people seriously push the limits of acceptable behavior...
Rant away friend! It helps. Many of my rants here have the duel benefit of having the support of my friends here and probably keeping me out of jail for assault! Hope things get better.
ReplyDeletePK,
Deletelol, yes--my husband seems to feel very strongly that assault and jail time are unacceptable. Totally unreasonable of him!
Thank you.
Sometimes blogs are for ranting.

Fury.
DeleteI completely agree!
Argh! People can be so disappointing at times. Hope ranting at least helped.

Roz,
Deleteit did, actually!
I'll feel better after he gets his check. Provided it's for the proper amount anyways...
People...
ReplyDeleteMisty, yea...If on is inclined to use the term generously! Better than most of the words that come to mind...*Mutters rude thoughts into her coffee*
