Matt-Man and The Trans Axle of Destiniy

Hail and well met

Five days have passed since I last posted and to be honest I just haven't known what to post about. Well that and I have been working so much that by the time I could post I was so tired that I couldn't form a complete sentence if I tried.

Well current events are a good place to start. Work is going FINE (as in fucked up insecure neurotic and emotional). Now that is not to say that I am feeling FINE cause I am not, no it is the rest of that office that needs a good healthy dose of reality.

In the gruff voice of a man that has smoked filter-less cigarettes since he was 2 years old

In a world were drama runs rampant only one thing can relieve the pain and annoyance.

Take a dose of reality, the anti-drama.

Warning : side effects include situations that are really drama and not make believe including but not exclusive to: pregnancy, love, hate, loss of job, loss of significant other, possible loss of job and other real life shit.

voice fades away

Yup I find it rather funny when I am not there to think of all the childish shit that is going on. As I usually do I tried to not fall into the rumors believing them to be the total truth, cause they never really are most of the time. Well in this case they are closer then most but there are a lot of other problems in that office.

The biggest is the other carriers. So many of them are of the opinion (which I have found to be common among union workers that have lost the perspective of reality) that things are their right, when in fact those things are a privilege. Something that has to be earned and maintained. Now based on this misconception they run around with expectations that are impossible in the real world and as such they end up being pissed off all the time or close to it. So every day that I am there I get to listen to the latest rant on how things are not right or fair or whatever.

Get over it and do the damn job! I mean for me the reality is still less then a year away. Being unemployed, broke, worthless (well in the eyes of the world, stupid world)all of these things were all too real and the pain that went with them. Apparently they don't remember or have never felt them.

I guess the other biggest thing is that I just don't understand the mentality of "I really don't like my job at all but instead of doing one damn thing about it I am just going to do it badly and bitch about it".

Just realize that you have the power to change things if you want but that choice is fraught with difficulty cause change is never easy. It is often worth the effort though.
If you choose to not change things then accept you choice and do what needs to be done. You will find that life is more enjoyable and things smooth out when you accept those things you choose not to change.

Again it is not easy to change but don't bitch about that fact. That is like bitching about the fact that you will get a sunburn if you stay out in the sun with out taking precautions.

Will this change my plans for the future? Well maybe a little. I like the area and the routes are not bad. I really prefer the true rural routes to those that are more in the suburbs. Which makes the future a interesting place cause if I plan on moving in with Terri in some form or another I have to find a place that fills my needs.

Well this rant has gone on long enough. It seems that I got away from current events and indulged in a soapbox rant.

I will just have to post again sooner then later so I can get everything updated.

There is just one thing that needs saying...

300 IS AN AMAZING MOVIE!!!!!
GO SEE IT IF YOU HAVEN'T YET...

a terrible grin crosses his face and his eyes get shifty
