Tis the season to be jolly...

Fa la fuck la la la.

 

Okay, seriously, there's something about Christmas this year that is seriously seriously pissing me off. In a bad way. Partly it's that the weather is just so not beahving right now - I mean this is summar goddamnit, and we have rain and cloud and shit. Well, not shit, because that would just be freaky weird, but you know.

 

So, I thought I'd make a hate list... because tis the season and all that. Here's a list of the things I hate right now, in no particular order...

• sales people who try to be your friend.... i'm sorry, you're a salesboy, i'm not. what do you think we could possibly have in common that would make me vaguely interested in which item you yourself own and love???
• travel agents... ok, these people prepare itineraries and make bookings for a living right? day in day out? then HOW COME they are physically incapable of completing ONE transaction without at least ONE fuck up?
• people who don't let you know what's happening - like ok, if you say 'let's talk at lunchtime, i'll email you' - i EXPECT an email... because do you expect me to freakin keep my day on ice for you?
• people with too much time on their hands and no inclination to do useful work. Yes, hello administration manager - do you think you could do anything USEFULLY administrative? oh sorry, i didn't realise your role meant you CREATE administration for the managers you work for... good!
• the need to be empathetic... oh yes, apparently this is the feedback for me... i have to be more empathetic. ok, so empathy is the ability to put yourself in the other person's shoes and therefore demonstrate increased understanding for their issues, right? HELLO - why the fuck would i want to be in the shoes of some people i know??? not only are their shoes ugly, their ankles are fat. ew.
• parents who cannot manage their children. don't get me wrong - i know it's a hard job, i know children don't do what they're told. but seriously... you have a spoiled brat whining for chocolate. child cries, child cries, child wails, child acts like a possessed monkey... PARENT GIVES THEM THE CHOCOLATE. oh it's called reinforcement, people, look it up in a dictionary. while you're at it, look up 'incompetent' as well.
• FOBs... oh yes, we all know and hate FOBs... we just pretend to be all PC about it. oh, so now i've pushed this hate list too far, have i?

And that's all folks... merry christmas, have a lovely new year... i'll probably find more things to hate on soon, so check back in frequently, y'all!
