Fuck the Holidays!
Here it comes. The shittiest time of the year. Don’t get me wrong. I love cold weather and all.
The thing I despise most of this time of the year is the damn holidays. The times that people want to get together and do stupid social shit. I’m not anti social or anything, well maybe just a little bit, but I can’t stand getting together with people I rarely talk to and listen to them talk about themselves.
At work this year, we are having our mandatory Xmas party a little early to make sure that the scheduling will allow all employees to attend. Don’t get me wrong. They usually rent out a nice place and everything to hold our party, but I just can’t stand most of them. I have to work with these bastards 8 hours of my life every day (minus 2. sometimes). The last thing I want to do is spend ‘me’ time hanging out with these fuckers.
I figured this year I would break my arm or have my liver fail so that I could get out of going to the Xmas party. Yes. I hate them that much. I love my job and really don’t mind working in the place, but I just can’t stand the people. The thought of spending one of my evenings with them makes me want to go and burn down the restuarant they reserved the night before the party.
Here’s what really sucks. I will probably end up going. I figured I will just show up and drink. And then drink. And maybe drink some more. Until I’m numb, dead to the world, and floating facedown in the river.
Unwanted attention? Maybe.
I was talking to one of my good friends on the phone when he was going into a Walmart to pick up some random shit. While he was in there he was telling me about these EMO kids that he saw. He described one as a 275lbs female with miscellaneous face piercings and pink streaks in her hair.
The crazy thing is I see this shit often and nothing makes me feel like tossing my cheerios more. Some super fat ugly bitch does a bunch of unnecessary shit to bring more attention to her already hideous self. I mean seriously, is it that important to be an individual that you ridicule your self like that? I don’t know how bad ass these bitches think they are, but there will be a time when they think back about how fucking retarded they are. Nothing more attractive than an obese bitch with metal all over her face, a semi-punk haircut, and colored highlights all over it.
Being a super individual is so retarded.
Suma tuma tires and they gotta be run flat
Not flat. Cold weather making the sensors act stupid.

Ok, maybe not all of them, but this one obviously failed.
Overcome your boredom with math and computer science
Since going back to school I’ve become more and more interested in computer science and mathematics. More so than before anyways. I’m an IT person and never thought I had any interest in the other side.
Anyhow, I’ve been spending a lot of time solving the puzzles at Project Euler. They have a series of mathematical based puzzles that you solve using the programming language of your choice. I’ve gone through the first 5 problems so far using python. It’s kind of addictive and pretty fun. If you have a few hours to burn you should check it out.
Lowered Expectations
Lately I’ve been trying to hack my mind to lower my expectations. For about the last 2 or 3 years I’ve been rather disappointed with most things. I’ve found that I have fairly high expectations for most things including goals. I constantly tell myself ‘If I do this, this will happen’. Well ‘this’ is rarely as great as I anticipated. I’m thinking that by lowering my expectations maybe I will be more satisfied and less disappointed when results aren’t higher than average.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!
I work in a great location. Hanging out at the back of the building during lunch time brings great joy to my work day. Today for example, a mentally ill person must have escaped from the metro mental health building a couple blocks down the street. What entailed was a ‘crazy’ person running through our parking lot screaming “YOU JUST WANT TO TAKE MY LIFE AWAY FROM ME AND FORCE ME TO TAKE MEDICINE. I HAVE RENT TO PAY AND I’M SICK”. All the while a white van trailed behind her with the female driver yelling “THEY JUST WANT TO HELP YOU, GET IN THE VAN”. Needless to say the security guard at our building had to be called to ‘police’ the situation. The ‘crazy’ person wound up getting hauled back down the street in the back of the van.
Kind of pointless story, but it was pretty much the highlight of my day, which for once was a pretty good day.
Assholes on the loose
Ever wonder why people have to act like assholes for no apparent reason? Like the guy 2 cubicles down from you that has to talk down to everyone? Or maybe the dick who has to cut you off so he can be one car ahead in traffic? Or the asshole who just has to act like he’s in charge of your life? Or perhaps the asshole who comes to talk to you, but never gives you a chance to speak?
Yeah, me too.
I got news though. This week is ‘not taking shit’ week. If anyone gives you shit this week, just stare them dead in the eyes and don’t say shit. It always confuses them. Just pretend you’re trying to look into their soul. Believe me. It works.
