Ok so I know you probably read a few blogs like me and you listen to everyone complaining but I just have to get a few things off my chest.
American Idol is back for what seems to be the 50th season and they are as horrible as ever. Let me just go out on a limb here and say this show was cool the first time it aired then they figured out they could get away with a few things and have really been pushing the envelope. Let's take William Hung for instance, he was dreadful and everyone knew it, except maybe him and he made millions. That's all well and great but after a quick million he'll never be able to do anything again in his life simply because he's the laughing stock of well, everything. So this season as was the case in past years, the show has nothing to do with singers, but more comedy or so they thing. I'm sure some people such as all the jocks that come dressed up as women lost some type of bet but there truly are some people who thing they are good and its the judges job to make them either feel horrible about themselves or make them thing they actually have a chance. I'm pretty much done with the show. Next subject.
The U.S. Post Office. Ok this ones great, now as I understand it yours and my tax dollars pay for the Post Office's services and they do a great job.....well sort of. They are actually told to not overexert themselves and take breaks frequently. My favorite is when someone gets injured and is out on paid leave (which is what you and I are also paying for) it always happens to take place on the job....that's so interesting. Anyway so yesterday I had to mail a bunch of stuff and I went into the Post Office but before I even got in there I noticed something peculiar about the steps outside. It snowed Sunday into Monday of this week so the snow is still around. Well the steps of the Post Office were shoveled but only the center steps and the two outer set of steps since there are basically three lanes were not even touched. Just to make sure there was no lawsuit they also taped off the outside steps just to make sure no one 'tried' to walk on them and possibly fall down. If you weren't so lazy you might actually have moved a little faster cause God knows it took 15 people at least 6 hours to shovel those seven steps.
The next day I went to another Post Office in the same town and luckily for me they open promptly at 8:30 and God help you if you decide to talk in between the hours of 12 noon and 1:30pm because that the fixed lunch break. I've done it and it looks like a ghost town, you think they might come out of hiding and maybe help you for the minute that it would take to process the transaction, we all know they aren't doing anything else during the day so why do they need a fixed lunch break? I don't get one, I'm lucky if I see lunch at 1pm. Now I know a lot of people who work for the Post Office and some are very hard workers, I'm not sure how they do this in such a depressing environment, but the majority are just slugs and its disturbing. Anyway next subject.
Every so often I have to drive to client sites and during the morning you get all sorts of people on the road. One girl in a BMW must have thought the 'E' on the gas gauge meant 'E'ntirely full because she was obviously out of gas, I just don't understand how people can drive with the needle on E for more than 5 minutes. Not only are you pushing your luck but if you do run out you could potentially run into some serious mechanical damages. Then there comes the woman who felt it would be a good idea to speed up beside me, cut me off, and then drive 20 mph on a state highway, ya really not what I needed at that time of morning. Then there was the guy in the Camry who must have found it funny?? To watch when I signaled and then do it before me just to remain in front of me. Wasn't having that either. Not to mention playing 'dodge the landmine potholes' How ridiculous is it that after a snow storm the roads get hacked to holy hell. Lastly, have you seen the gas prices??!? Diesel $3.69 a gallon...let me put that into perspective for you. A tractor trailer take 400 gallons, now I'm not expecting you to get our your calculator but thats a cost of just under $1,600 to fill the tank....and you thought your $50 tank fill was a lot, think again!
I think I'm done. Thanks for reading.
