Blogroll Me!
There are people on the net that have nothing better to do
with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Aggravation and Panic
So, this morning at about 8:10am, the phone rings. Needless to say, this wakes me up. I don't pick it up because nothing is that important that early in the morning. I listen to the babbling message of my dentist reminding me of my appointment tomorrow. No shit, I think to myself. Until she starts saying things like, "We require a verbal confirmation 24 hours before your appointment to hold the appoitment" at which point, I have to get out of bed and groggily answer the phone. Besides the fact that 8am is a damned early time to be calling people about their upcoming Dental Appointments of Doom, this policy is asinine. The vast majority of people are going to be at work at 8am. And will not be able to get the call until they get home. At which point, it will be too late to "verbally confirm" the appointment. What an absurd policy. If you want a verbal confirmation of the appointment and it's required or you give up their time slot, how about you call a little more in advance then the day before when the likliness of actually speaking to someone is slim to none? Man, I'd have been pissed if I'd waited three weeks for the appointment, drove 45 minutes there and found out because I didn't get their call they booked my slot! Yes I think I know I have an appointment tomorrow. I've only been thinking about it every single day for like three weeks now. I'm only panicked and freaked and dreading it with every fiber of my being. Was it really necessary to wake me up at the ass-crack of dawn to get me to mumble a "verbal confirmation" that I was still showing up? Bah. Then, arg, then if that's not enough of an annoyance, my credit union is downright pissing me off. I have a debit card with a mastercard logo, ok? Common stuff these days. Well, I've always actually had two. No problem. I use one and Love uses one. That way, when he comes home from work, he can stop at the store and get dinner, or gas or make a deposit (since the branch is right next to his work). Well, my duplicate card expired 03/31 so I email them and request another. Days and days later, they're giving me one pile of steaming crap after another about how I can only have one card and they'll be happy to cancel my current one and send me a new one. What the hell is your problem? I've ALWAYS had two cards. It's my acount and if I choose to have two - for whatever damned well reason I want - then it's my business and not theirs. I just sent off a snippy email (after three very polite ones) saying that if this is such a big deal and they won't permit something I've always had for no reason, then I'd be happy to find another financial institution. I've been with them for over six years. Had my Mustang loan through them. But all of a sudden, it's a lot of crappy changes and utterly unfriendly custom service and quite frankly, I'm sick of it. If they want to lose a customer because they've got a stick up their ass about a duplicate debit card, well fuck them. I'm done. So, an all around aggravating day thus far. People are stupid, annoying and I'm already in a bad mood because I'm facing dental surgery tomorrow. *grump* Oh and totally off topic, but another minor annoyance for the day? Just because you think something is true doesn't mean it is. When people have black-and-white facts about how something technical works and you rather believe your delusions that you thought it worked differently, you deserve your willful ignorance. Just because you kinda sorta maybe remember that something's different then the technical functionalty of something doesn't mean it exists outside your damned head. So get over yourself and figure out that facts are facts.
