WTF PART 2: The Wrath of Stupidity

 Ok so its 11:30 A.M. on the same day I am still heated and angry, but I am still here and employed

 So now “we” (The Boss) has proceeded to complain about rules he put in place 8 years ago and wants to change them without talking to the Powers that be above him, I can only see me getting burnt on this!

 We are now just allowing folk’s access without being documented!!!! BRILIANT

 I am not usually bitchy like this; I am pretty easy going . . .  I guess you could say I am on my monthly cycle with today being the worst of it… (Sorry for the sexist comment no insult implied).

NEXT!

WTF!!!!

WTF  

Ever have one of those days where you get up happy and you get to work and your boss just starts out irritating the hell out of you, and then everything falls apart on you to the point you start to sign out of your computer and just walk out?

 Well that seems to be the day I am having except I am really considering walking out. I am so pissed I actually can’t stop my jaw from clenching and my legs from bouncing under the desk.

 Why do I get stuck with the boss that cannot follow his own orders and then yells and gets pissy at me for following what he said to do in the first place?

 This is not really a blog worthy entry, but if I don’t vent I may explode I am so heated you could fry and egg on me. And its only 10:30!

Sorry readers for the rant

kNOw when to say NO!

Some folks don’t know when to say no, I on the other hand say no to everything all the time, that way I am not surprised about what I am asked and the great thing in life is I can always change my mind.

 When I was a kid my parents used the ever so vague “we will see” which we all knew as kids meant NO, but we don’t want to look like the bad parents and you won’t remember anything in 10 minutes, because you’re a child and cannot focus on more than one thing for more than 10 minutes.

 The reason for this entry is my Boss, he is micro managing and passive aggressive which in my opinion is as about as much fun as a sharp stick in the eye!  I think that he thinks he works for the CIA or KGB agencies because you never get any information he keeps it for himself and says you didn’t need to know that, until after you say yes to his request. I contend that if you are asking me to do extra coverage on site or at another site then I need the specifics, I am not going to just say yes and let the chips fall where they may! My wife’s Grandmother the wisest Lady I had the pleasure of knowing always used to say it never hurts to ask questions before you answer them.

 So I vote NO . . .  and it is liberating, now keep in mind I may say no to most things, but I only mean no about 2% of them. I feel liberated and I feel I am in charge when I say no. Try it and see how it feels… I also understand that this is a kid’s mentality to say no, but sometimes you need to think like a kid to be a well rounded adult . . . SO THERE (sticking tongue out).

*Disclaimer: The author of this entry and this blog is not and cannot be responsible for any angry spouses, parents or significant others, or any loss of job, house or property due to the fact that you used the word no in answer to any questions asked. In short you use “No” at your own risk.

Lines in the sand

I would like to think I am a progressive thinker and I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of expression, but I have to draw a line in the sand on this one, I do not now nor will I ever understand this seemingly new trend in Men’s panty lines! Unless you’re a male stripper in which case you still would not have panty lines (I would think) your pants should not be that tight that the world can tell if you’re in boxer-briefs, bikini or good old tighty whitieys

At great risk to my masculinity and of ending up in the H.R. department's office, I have asked women all week their opinion, and not one of the women said I want to or I would like to see panty lines on a man. The consensus on the male posterior is that if it is that nice that they want to admire it than they would rather not have lines messing up their view in fact I was told that they prefer to think of it as unencumbered and unrestricted by underpants all together.

This past week and even while writing this entry I find that my masculinity and my reputation as a man’s man has been tested slightly on this subject mostly due to the fact that I have noticed this trend and brought it to the attention of some of the women I had questioned. Given that part of my job is to observe, and that I just happened on this strange sexually expressive fashion trend I think that my testosterone driven attitude is firmly and utterly intact for I believe that women, All women no matter how big or small or color or shade of skin ROCK.

 No to sound homophobic because I am very far from that, but I am saying I draw the line of acceptance at the male panty lines, and I do not want to hear skinny Jeans are to blame, because if a man is wearing skinny jeans and we can see the outline of his underpants then he needs to stop shopping in the kids section of the clothing store.

 Well that is my Soapbox moment of the week see you all next time.

America Home of the not-so Free

 

Just A quick vent

 Since when do they put smoking warnings on movie ratings? Are they out of their minds, why have we let things get this far? And why we are being policed and warned of smoking in a movie?

 I know I am a bit behind on my movies so this post is probably not relevant anymore seeing how I am about 7 months behind the times and news, But I am seriously annoyed that we are letting the Motion Picture Association of America dictate what they think we need to be warned about. . . “Historic Smoking”?????

 I find it hard to believe that a parent is going to say to the family “Oh we are not going to see that movie because there is smoking in it”! What is next, are we going to have a PG-13 and a PG-13S for smoking???

 Wake the hell up people! This is America the Land of the FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE or is that now been reduced to the Land of the Free, but only when and where we say and home of the brow beaten. Have our Ancestors and Family members served in the military and wars defending our rights as Americans for nothing? Where do we draw the line?

 It is up to parents to raise their children and babysit them not ME!!!!  Not the Government and certainly not the M.P.A.A.! As an adult we chose what we do, right or wrong, that was the best part of being an adult and the best part about being American, Freedom of choice.

 That being said I think The Motion Picture Association of America should be forced to change its name to the Motion Picture Ass-hats of Socialism and people should raise their own children or not have any. I understand it can be tough to raise children and mold their young minds but that is what you take on when you make the choice to have them I don’t go around putting warning labels on houses with children that says “Please reframe from doing anything children live her” I know I am going to the extreme here in my rant, but this is how stuff starts and if we don’t stand up and take notice and say something now, we will lose the right of Freedom of speech, Freedom of expression and one of my favorite ones freedom to complain.

 I apologize to everyone that I had to rant and vent about something so trivial, but stuff like this should not slip through unnoticed. Before you say it I do understand the attempts to prevent frivolous law suits, but it all has to stop.

Please continue on with your day now… thank you People for allowing me to vent and thank you America for not taking that right away … yet, but just in case you better check with the M.P.A.A. on that, I may require a Warning rating as well.

A swan Song to Men’s Fashion

 I have said it in the past and I will say it again I am not Fashion expert or fashionista of any kind, hell I still wear the cloths I wore in the 1980’s and they have gone out of style and come back again. Not to mention I live in the New England area of the United States of America, so we are not known for being trend setters or for being hip. However I feel the need to address a men’s fashion mistake, something that should go the way of the Do-Do, So buckle up for a male version of a tizzy.

I have had not one but two men come by me at work wearing ballet shoes/slippers, I do not get this footwear on a guy, these two gentlemen are straight non-ballet dancers. I just don’t get it.

 What has become of the masculine foot ware, where the clunky work boots, stylish Cowboy boots and the flashy sneakers and tennis shoes could tell you exactly who the man was and what he was about.

 Ballet Shoes/Slippers just screams to me “Hey I am too lazy to put shoes on and I don’t care”. I could see it if they were dancers but one is a manager in the Tax department and another is in Marketing and both straight with wives and kids, so I say WHY? And before you ask, I am acquainted with them and they do not dance.

 Not for nothing but they look so odd on a man and I would like to see this fashion statement take a fast exit stage right and just keep shuffling off to Buffalo.

 I know this seams judgmental and catty, but welcome to my blog, it’s all about me and what runs through my head, luckily in this instance it did not run out of my mouth, I am already a politically correct nightmare. I just thought I would share this with you out there and just between me any you I will attempt to get a photo, it just looks wrong. Well till next time thanks for reading…
