April Showers Bring May Showers

Is it normal to have so many rainy days in a year? Does this have something to do with the world ending in 2012? I'm so over rain right now. I’m over a number of other things too.

Every so often a gal from my middle school will organize a get together to catch up. It’s been 13 years since I’ve seen some of these people. I haven’t been to a single one of these get togethers because I don’t care. Back in the day these were the popular kids all us nonpopular ones would try to impress. I can't help but to think these get togethers are just ways for them to relive their past glory. If one really cared so much about me why not just call me? If your purpose is to get us all together so we can compare who has a better life and who ended up a loser no thanks. But if you want to talk you have my number.

Work and I will never be BFF’s. I don’t understand having a policy that rewards those who break it and punish those who follow it. The notion of seniority is a bunch of BS. Thanks to seniority my approved vacation (which I booked 6 months in advance instead of the standard 2 weeks because I wanted to give work time to prepare) has been cut in half. If that weren’t bad enough upper management had the nerve to say to me, “I know it’s not fair but I have no choice”. There is always a choice like telling the other person, “You messed up. You live with the consequences.” or admitting “Yeah, you have to work that day because we’re short qualified people because we don’t hire qualified people”. Don’t give me crap about how I lost my slot because I have less seniority. Now I will have to go rearrange my schedule because seniority dictates I get last pick even though I followed policy in a timely matter.

I was talking to one customer this morning and she was dealing with all sorts of crazies in her life. Towards the end of the conversation we came to the conclusion that all the crazies in the world aren't worth the time.

Instead I will live for the happy moments and prepare for when the end comes. Hopefully, it won't be in the form of water because it'll mess with my hair. It's actually behaving itself for once.
