Go Away......

I had to put a severe filter on my phone system at work to avoid the solicitation calls trying to disguise themselves as personal friends of mine. I will NOT accept a call from "Jennifer" unless I recognize the voice. Nice try, phone solicitors, but why do you expect me to fork over money to you when you just annoy the HELL out of me? Why would I give money to a perpetual pest?

I actually had one solicitor complain to my secretary that "whenever I try to leave your boss a voice mail I get sent into a black hole."

Wowwwwww...... sweetie solicitor, you catch on QUICKLY. Actually, I got so sick of your annoying messages that I blocked your number from reaching me. DUH!!!!!!! And just HOW much did you spend on your useless marketing degree??????? Did they teach you how to be ultra obnoxious and annoying so that people cringe whenever you're around? Whatever chump change you spent on getting your marketing degree was too much.

Want to get my business????? Don't be an over aggressive, quota-hungry, asshole. You need to EARN my relationship and that does NOT mean beating down my office door when I'm in the middle of deadline or calling me when I'm in the middle of a meeting.

ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!

Took a road trip from California to Colorado via Interstate 80. Let me tell you.... FREAK SHOW!!!! The aliens from Area 51 must have mated with the locals.... If you have not seen the web site "people of WalMart" you are robbing yourself of seeing the lowest class of humans on the evolutionary scale. Now I know where the photos are taken -- Nevada. I also know why Nevada was selected as a nuclear test site. Please, keep nuclear testing until all species are eliminated. The world will thank you later.

There are actual signs posted along the freeway warning of hitch hikers who may have escaped from a nearby prison. Nice. There was also a town we passed through with the large BM written on the hillside. I think the town was Black Mountain, but we all know what BM really means....... and it is what it really means..... BM!!!!!

Avatar

Ok.... so I'm the LAST person on earth to see Avatar. I finally got around to watching it tonight. Here's my two-bit review of the movie.... Sorry, I don't have an over-rated formal movie critic gig like the fat bitch with the hats or two thumbs up my ass like that Siskel/Ebert dude (one of them is dead -- hard to say which one). Anyway, here goes......

Dances With Wolves meets Star Wars.

Yup, that's it. The visual effects were stunning -- I will give the movie that much. The acting was shit, the story line recycled, and the multiple references to "all is one with the great spirit" cheesy at best. I felt it was the "spiritual" Jimmy Swaggert of film. Some of us are capable of "getting the deeper meaning" more so than others. The director made extra effort to leave nobody out.

Bottom Line: Even superficial, materialistic dumb shits should get the message of lustful waste and power in our ego-centric culture (sadly, that still leaves out many people). Those who have more than three functioning brain cells just sit back and enjoy the special effects.

Steven Slater: MY HERO!!!!!!!!

Yes.... QUIET RAGE is not just me. I feel I speak the collective voice for all who are just sick and tired of BULLSHIT. We are all asked by our employers to fill a five pound bucket with 10 pounds of shit and to HURRY UP.

It *really* chaps our behinds when we are good sports about understanding the current economy, layoffs, and have picked up the slack going above and beyond for the sake of the "team"; however, when we suck it up for our employer and the wife/husband/whatever shows up dripping in jewels in his/her new, black Mercedes whining about not being able to go to Bora Bora and will have to settle for (yawn) Hawaii, we are all on the verge of going postal.

That's only half the problem, folks....

The other half is dealing with the ever increasing numbers of the whiny, selfish, demanding public. They always want something for nothing, and rules don't apply to them. When reminded of such, they fly into a tantrum blaming EVERYBODY and EVERYTHING but themselves. They think they are the only people on earth and everything exists solely for them without any regard to anybody else.

I say YOU GO, STEVEN SLATER!!!!! This is an instance where I believe flight attendants should be allowed to carry firearms and use them on obnoxious passengers at their discretion.

The person in seat 18-B thanks you profusely for shutting that cow up.
