Men, take a note...

OK, it's been quite some time since I've been on here but with school over, my vacation to Vegas over :(, and me being bored out of my mind I figured I'd come back.

Out of sheer boredom I also signed up for Match.com. Not for serious dating, just joking, mainly to see what kind of creep shows are on there. My reservations were met with this email this morning. It's blog worthy.

This guy asked about my experience living overseas. Seemed platonic enough so I answered with a quick email. This is the response I get. This guy is from Montana, has a doctorate in social work, and has no idea how to pick up women. Men, this is why so many of you are single...

"don't have Internet home saw just now answering email. So how was your weekend? Mine was filled with watching tennis, basketball and baseball. And I even mowed my lawn. Feel so manly. and right now I'm listening to my two femail coworkers discuss the new circumcision technique used on her grandchild....nice. I'm the only male in my office, so.....kind of uncomfortable sometimes. On call today, which means I might end up at the hospital doing suicide intervention and committing someone to the state hospital. kind of fun but mostly boring. anway. talk to you later. are you on facebook?"

OK, 1) spell "femail" properly
2) Why the hell are you talking about circumcision?
3) Why the hell are you talking about suicide? and
4) What woman in their right mind would respond to this guy?!

I showed this email to Kelsey and she summed it up with, "Sports, circumcision, and lawn mowing-- sounds like every girl's dream guy!"

Men, do not send emails like this to a woman unless your goal is to creep them out.

How Stupid is Congress?

What a way to start off the week!

Spring break ended, Gonzaga's men's basketball team lost, knocking them out of the playoffs and the country is going to shit!

Health care...

I believe the only way for this reform to help people is by persuading them to become leeches on society so they will actually be able to use the system. Screw the people who have worked hard their whole lives and who are working hard to produce for our society. This gives no incentive for people in this country to work toward their own goal and be productive citizens.

The whole reform is unconstitutional, but that could be a whole blog in itself.

I've lost a great deal of respect for some people in this country and I'm pressured to find a job outside of the nation even more after this decision.

I find it amusing when people from countries other than the U.S. post statuses on Facebook complaining about Americans being afraid of socialized reform. Any smart American who knows anything about the Constitution would write a very lovely note to these people telling them to take a history lesson on The United States of American and to drink a big glass of "Shut the F*&^ Up."

I love how politicians say they want to work toward bringing the parties together. They want to eliminate partisanship. Well this decision just drove a huge stake through the political world.

On a personal note, I want to puke everytime I see Nancy Pelosi.
I'm now going to go find a job outside of this country...

My Brain Almost Exploded at Work Yesterday

I arrived at work around nine and didn't take a lunch so I could depart around five. I snacked on some lunch and it was busy enough that I didn't feel I could have taken a lunch if I wanted to.

Around 2:30 p.m. as I'm watching my supervisor teach my how to put together a newsletter on Dream Weaver, my ass goes completely numb. My body was rejecting the sitting position and wanted me to get my butt up and do something. The time did not permit this so I had to keep seated.

I'm not ready to sit through another one of those days...

Thanks, but no thanks...

After a long crappy week of midterms I was surprised to see my supervisor at work get excited to see me yesterday.

I'm thinking "yes, they aren't going to fire me after I graduate!"

She's thinking "hey there's a job in Portland open that I was thinking of you for."

Crap...

No way in hell will I live in Portland, Oregon.
Reason one: It rains, rains, rains, and rains. I've already had a hard enough time with the weather on the east sides of the Cascades, the west side would probably make me so depressed I'd never leave my house to go to work.

Reason two: Hippie liberals...need I say more. My car is adorned with a McCain sticker, it'd probably be vandalized. My stress level would be through the roof trying to combat socialism in the busy, dirty, rainy city.

Reason three: I like to pump my own gas thank you very much.

Reason four: I have friends from Oregon who hate Portland...it's a sign.

Reason five: The job is at a nuclear power place where I'd write technical papers and edit...that would make me even more depressed.

I'd rather live in California than in Portland, Oregon. At least California has sun and that would combat some of my hate for liberals. So the job search is still on. If anyone has any ideas shoot them at me. Just know I will not live in a place where it rains 80 percent of the time, and I'd like to be able to pump my own gas.

Almost Spring Break

I have two classes to sit through until I'm done for the last spring break of my life! I know I have to work all week but its better than going to class and dealing with students who have their heads implanted up their asses.

Example A: Yesterday while taking a media law midterm in a senior level class more than seven students asked what "underpinnings" meant. Yeah seniors in journalism and mass media have a slim vocabulary I guess. After the teacher had to stop the test to explain what the word meant more people spoke up with "oh I'm glad I wasn't the only one." People! Don't admit to the whole class that you're a moron!

I don't have an example B yet, but the day is young.

Monday Rant on a Thursday

Part One: Why are all of my major assignments, with the exception of two, due the week before spring break. I think teachers congregate in a mass meeting and decide they will assign all the homework to be done at the same time just to give us another hoop to jump through. They'd better not expect any quality work to come out of me the week prior to spring break.

My spring break is working 40 hours a week and finishing more homework, so I guess I can't really call it a break.

On the bight side I received an email today stating that my diploma has been ordered, my name is spelled correctly on the document, and I'm on my way out of this university circus show! YEEEE HAWWW!

I chose not to walk at commencement because undoubtedly I would make some scene as my big hoorah out of academia. It would probably include me flipping the bird to the president...or the English department....I hate them. Instead I will be recovering from my vacation in Vegas.

Commencement or Vegas...ummm VEGAS! I'll offend less with this option.

Part Two: We have these friends and one sister is quite lovely and funny and nice while the other is a phsyco bitch. Their grandmother has gotten extremely ill in a short amount of time. A trip to California to see her is in need.

Sister A, the nice one, books a flight to see her grandmother in a timely manner. Sister B, the bitch, refuses to fly because she can't take her rifle! She wants to drive. Mind you sister B doesn't have a rig and her and her husband have been using sister A's SUV.

SO! Sister B decides to freak out and call sister A a bunch of lovely names and say that she is unreliable because she's choosing an option that makes her leave her gun and survival supplies at home.

CAUTION: WE ARE IN NORTH IDAHO. This caution should put this all in perspective.

Evidently California doesn't have water or food so sister B and her husband are driving to California. Good luck on that drive. Karma's a bitch.
