I wish, more than anything I've ever wished for, that stupidity was painful. So everytime stupid people went to do something stupid, it would cause agonizing pain.
So my roommate lost his job. He tried to tell me why, I told him I didn't care, just pay the fucking bills. I doubt that will happen. In the 7 months we've lived here he's never paid an electric bill and the cable bill once so I'm not holding my breath. But he's on the lease with my boyfriend so I can't kick him out and I don't know how to handle the situation. I can't NOT pay the bills as there in my name and I personally enjoy the use of electricity and internet. So I feel like theres nothing I can do. I have to pay the bills, but I can't kick him out. This is his 3rd job in the last 7 months. Fuck.
The the stupid people at work. Meh. For those that don't know I'm a receptionist at a trucking company. So I deal with a lot of truckers. Dirty, greasy, three teeth having truckers. A lot of their managers that work directly in my building used to be truckers, so basically these are the idiot savants of the truckers. Stupid, but usually come with a few more teeth and the ability to string together a sentence.
So these idiot savants are annoyed with me. Why you ask? Well, we have a WHITE box with a PINK tag that says PHOENIX on it to put any interoffice mail that needs to be sent to our corporate office in Phoenix. Every Tuesday and Thursay I collect the contents of this box and over night UPS it to Phoenix. Simple enough...
Well, we just had a new driving school open, so I made another box to put the schools mail in so its all in one place when they come to pick it up, or I can send it to them. This box is BROWN with a RED tag that says SCHOOL on it.
I have had EVERY manager complain to me that they don't like the new box because they can't tell them apart and they get confused. They bitch EVERYTIME they go to put something in one of the boxes, "Which one does what?" they'll ask me with a furrow in their brow. "There boxes" I reply, "they don't 'do' anything except sit there being boxy and holding stuff" I'll say to them as they look at me still perplexed. "READ THE TAG!" Oh, "This one says 'school' and this one says 'Phoenix'" and then they'll still sit there looking at me expectantly. Jesus Fucking Christ, why is this so god damned hard. One box is white with a pink tag, the other box is brown with a red tag, and they both say different things. Why the hell can you not tell them apart!!! They look nothing a like! I actuall had a guy ask me if I could get a box of another shape so it would be easier to tell them apart. WTF! Would he like a round box, or perhaps a triangle box? Maybe in the shape of a star or heart so he subconciously feels loved and unique. I REFUSE to change the boxes as asked, I REFUSE to get rid of one as requested because I am NOT going to cater to these mother fucking idiots!
Christ...okay, I feel ranted out now. Thank you if you actually read all of that.
EDIT: Sorry for the over use of caps.
