You're an adult?

How some people have survived to adulthood without natural selection taking hold can be astounding sometimes. I have the pleasure, working in customer service, to deal with some of the nicest and most easy going people in the world. Unfortunately there are some people that are...what's a good word for this...stupid. Stupid is the easiest and probably the best measuring stick to describe some of the people i meet on a day to day basis, but to branch that out a little more i use a scale of 1-10 because some people are just dumber than others.

Really? You're upset that your car isn't done in thirty minutes when i told you it would take an hour before we even started on it? You wanna talk to my boss? How about i take your car and park it on the tracks then... Or better yet, next time you come in it will take four times as long for whatever you need. There's a saying "dont mess with people who handle your food." Well what about the people that take care of your car for you, that's kind of a bigger deal since most people will be in their cars for 70% of their lives.

Dont get me wrong not everyone fits the mold, there are some great customers that i deal with, but anyone who's worked customer service knows that it only takes that one bad customer to ruin your day in a heartbeat. At what point do we stop taking abuse from these rude and socially inept people and start sticking up for ourselves and telling them like it is? Political correctness is the worst thing that ever happened to this country and it needs to go bye bye.

So please next time someone is waiting on you and you know they're trying their hardest to help you, take it easy on them because they'll take care of you better if you're more understanding.

Football Sunday

Now it's not very often i get to watch football anymore seeing as how im currently working for a retail store that's open all day on sundays. But today i was graced with a rare sunday off. I'm almost positive my favorite team the Green Bay Packers know that i'm off today cause they're playing better than they have all year, im pretty sure they're doing it for me today...i feel so honored.

Unfortunately at the same time my two year old nephew is here and he decides he wants to play in front of the tv with loud noise makers, i guess maybe next time im off on a sunday next season i'll get to enjoy my football team.

"oh josh you should enjoy your nephew while he's around"

Screw that i wanna watch football. He is damn cute though.

Blogging

Let me start my first ever blog post by saying that i hate blogging, actually not so much blogging as the word "blog". I mean really the pioneers of blogging couldn't come up with a better name than that, it sounds more like a nasty medical procedure or something you would do when you have the runs. I've always wanted my own blog because i've always got millions of ideas running through my head that i would like to write down, and now here it is! Lucky for you one or two people that end up coming across this sweet page.

I do have a horrible memory so if i forget to update this every week i'm sorry...well i'm not really sorry but i'll try my best.

Also i have a very wide ranging sense of humor and if you're offended by something that i end up writing or posting dont bother writing hate mail because i really dont care if you were offended.
