Food and gas prices are killing us. We aren't rich ppl to start with, but these necessities are so expensive, they're sucking us dry.

So in the higher ups' infinite wisdom, they have decided that every one who needs to do some sort of recertification training has to do it in one month. In our department, it's this month. Doesn't matter if you just did it last month or if it's not due til next year. Of course there is less than 2 weeks left in the month. Oh by the way, there is still work to do. And there is more training to take. Like Endangered Species (Pima Pineapple Cactus)...

%%%%, my dryer went out, my microwave started squeaking, work has been hell, my kid is a pain in the hind quarters, and worst of all I can't get my bike to start. Why does everything happen at once?

A note to the asshat that parked his (or her) SUV next to my car at the train station on Friday: If the parking space is only 8 feet wide, and your oversized rolling prison cell is more than 6 feet wide ... go find another space. I don't know WTF you were thinking, but NO, SIX INCHES IS NOT ENOUGH SPACE FOR ME TO OPEN MY DOOR AND GET INTO MY CAR! The door alone is about 4 inches wide. That leaves me a whopping 2 INCHES to get into my car. And although I did give it some consideration to put another dent in your door while trying to open mine, I decided against it because I might also scratch MY door.

But NO, I don't enjoy climbing into my car from the passenger side, then climbing over the center console to get myself into the driver's seat. Next time, I may just kick the valve stem of those big, oversized tires. Think about it, asshat.

Wirecutters are your friend...... snip the valve off! or better still snip 2 off, gadzooks I HATE most motorists.. have you spotted the Jekyll & Hyde personalities..

Other day shooting along the M8 got stuck behind some toss-pot in a VW Bora (Need I really say more?!?!) so after being stuck behind him for several miles with nothing on the inside, I flashed my headlight.. just in case he hadn't spotted me ~ as if! ~ and he flicked me the finger... Well I was just astounded! couple of miles down I pulled off for some fuel, when lo and behold just as I was about to leave who pulls up... Middleaged, bespectacled, respectable looking chap, climbes out of his Bora to commence fuelling... He didn't notice me AGAIN.. so I walked over to him and very casually said, "Sir! if you insult me again... EVER! with your bad driving and middle finger, I will snap the %%%%ing thing off" I didn't raise my voice and the old bastard nearly pissed himself.

And I'll bet when he is not encapsulated in his killing machine, he is a really nice considerate chap.

Parking lots are the breeding ground for Obliviots.
