I have a bug up my azz. I will admit it. I won’t sugarcoat it. I won’t play nice. If you read my “about me” page you know you have been forewarned, I won’t shirk from the truth as I see it. This truth is about work ethic and being an adult and having a little consideration. Bottom line: the fact that some people do not understand the word “responsibility” is the current bug making a beeline up my behind.
To the people who consistently refuse to go above and beyond: Your work ethic sux. You do the bare minimum of work and then have the gaul to ask, “what’s in it for me?” You watch the clock like it owes you something. Like it would kill you to work two minutes over your eight hour shift. I have a strong desire to put you on a time clock to see just how many hours a week you do work. For real.
To the people who don’t understand the word busy. You spend all day on the computer. You write 100 emails and get mad at me when I can’t answer every single one directed at me. Chill out. Despite the fact I don’t have children, I do consider myself in a family. I have two jobs. I love my friends but I’m a loner by nature. I don’t need your “Are You Dead?” emails to remind me that I haven’t answer the last 50 messages you sent.
I could go on, but I won’t. Obviously I am having some issues with people wanting too much from me right now. No. I take that back. They don’t understand what it means to negotiate life. Someone calls out sick – someone else has to cover the shift. Plans change. I can’t stop cancer from taking the people I love so I’m not going to bitch about their “bad timing” of a relapse. Remission is just another word for wait. Life is one big swirling mess and I just pray to the powers that be that people chill out. Give me a break.

Excellent rant! You saved me from having to do one.
I am a loner by nature too and even though I don’t work anymore I too have many responsibilties, recent deaths and ill parents. People assume far too much far to often and it SUCKS!
I have huge issues right now with lies and with lack of others being responsible.
Oops… guess I ranted a little on your rant *blush* sorry…
Again… excellent rant!!! Spot on! Also (((hugs))) for all you are going through.
i understand where you are coming from…call me if you want to vent more
Rock on.
Even though my similar frustrations sometimes cause those bugs to fly to your tiny behind, you know I understand. See my blog about work ethic. Ugh.
Time~ LOL I love it when your rant matches mine. You know what they say about great minds… 8)
Sarah~ are you reading my mind?? Freaky!
Aim~ Scenerio: I am finally started to calm down – at least to the point where I’m not trying to figure out how to buy a hand gun…then I go read something and I get all fired up again. Gee, I wonder what that something would be…it never ends! grrrrr
I think it is great that you voice your feelings. My dad died of hypertension in his sleep. My motto has always been, “Don’t get upset over everything, save it for something really good to have a heart attack over!” Visit dorazsays and laughwith doraz. There is humor in EVERYTHING, believe me! Find it and life won’t look so bad all the time, even though it may be in your book!
