Chaos

So I flew to Salt Lake City for a few days this past week to visit my friend, Jules. For the past few years I've mostly flown with Alaska/Horizon because they have the cheapest fares between Medford and Boise. But this time I flew Southwest. Now I don't know if you're familiar with Southwest's boarding procedure, but basically you get in group A, B or C and then assigned a number. When they start boarding, all the A's go first and try to line up according to their numbers. It ends up being more like a mass of mean cattle pushing and shoving towards the slaughter. Why can't they just assign seats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, that is all.

Applying for a job...

Ok, you would think this would be common sense, but apparently not. If you are looking for work and your email address resembles your lifestyle more than your name, maybe you should get an email address separate from your personal one that is just for your résumé. As an HR person, myself, it doesn't bode well to have an email address on your resume like smokidabong@yahoo.com or crackmonkey@hotmail.com. Some of my co-workers and I are going to start a list of these straight-to-the-trash gems, because the list is long, hilarious and deserves publishing.

Creepers

ok, let me just say this. I am a pretty speedy walker. I don't drag my feet or bird watch when I'm walking. I just keep pumping those feet till I get where I'm going. Here's where the peeve comes in. When someone is walking directly behind you, I mean riiiight behind you, step for step. They are basically spooning you. So my move is to stop, pretend I need to get my cellphone or chapstick out of my purse so they can go around me. when I do this 9 times out of 10 they walk WAAAY slower than me and I am forced to walk behind them and do the awkward slower-than-your-used-to-walking walk because I refuse to be the creeper that they are.


Perhaps they are just trying to smell my hair when they walk so close...yeah, that's probably it.

Work Rant...

Ok this one might sound bad but anyone in the serving industry will agree with me. If you do not have the money to tip, then you do not have the money to go out. If you want to get drunk but don't have tip money, go to 711 and buy a six pack and drink at home. If you want to eat out but don't have tip money stop by Taco Bell. If your service is bad then, yes, downgrade the tip. But if you just don't have the money please don't insult the wait staff by leaving change or anything less than what they deserve for waiting on you and creating the atmosphere you came out for, and just stay home. The end. Also, don't be a dick to your server. If you've never heard the phrase, "don't bite the hand that feeds you," please watch the movie Waiting.

A 12AM Rant

Okay. So. Public transportation is never fun. Well, sometimes it is. But rarely do I wake up for class and get excited about sitting next to complete strangers who jab me with their greasy elbows while I try to frantically finish 150+ pages of a book I have a test on in 10 minutes.

But what REALLY peeves me about public transportation are those white trash Chicano-wannabes with their little crack babies. They talk on their god damn cell phones or to a friend sitting next to them like they are trying to communicate with their 98% deaf grandma who lives on the moon (bad reception on the moon btdubs) meanwhile their baby is crying up a storm and begging to be thrown a god damn nipple already.

If I thought I'd be a better mother I would probably steal the babies..but I am pretty sure I would be just as neglectful. But here's the difference...I didn't get knocked up.

???

After reading Hank's post, I remembered my confusion about vitamin waters. Ummm, call me crazy, but I thought that when water has flavor and comes in a variety of colors that it automatically becomes classified as juice. So why do they insist on calling these cherry flavored, red beverages "waters????"

"Sunny D"

Sunny Delight bothers me. Why would someone choose drinking Sunny Delight over real Orange Juice? You all make me sick...


Florida Style!?! WFT?
