The "ME" Generation

Somewhere along the line the free-thinking, anti-establishment philosophy of the 1960's Hippie Generation turned into the "man" they were trying so desperately to separate from. See the "then" and "now" photo above.

The Baby Boomers are the most selfish generation that ever existed. They thrived in post WWII prosperity, and they then rebelled against the establishment that fostered their own well-being. The Me Generation was sooooooo certain of their new order that they swore was different and more enlightened than their conservative, conforming parents. Damn the man. They were about peace, love, freedom, and equality for all.

Ironically, they are now the establishment they were rebelling against. Now that health care reform is being discussed, they are the first ones to poo-poo any and all reform as it may affect THEIR own precious selves. There is not one thought to others. It's all about them.

Where is peace, love, and equality for all now that you're the ones holding the wealth?

Silence. I thought so.

Stuffed Animals

This gives "stuffed animals" a completely different meaning. This was an actual photo taken by a high level UPS employee involved in a pot bust in Sonoma County. The sender tried to hide the pot inside innocent looking stuffed animals. However, the UPS employee became suspicious when the sender took out insurance on seemingly non-valuable goods, and also wanted to send them "next day air." Two red flags. The UPS employee's suspicions were spot on.

Voila.... open up the seams of the bear's butt, and lo and behold the bear shits pot.

Petaluma Corn Maze Traffic on Hwy 101

There.... now you've seen them. You have seen corn stalks and pumpkins. Need I point out which is which? Now drive the fucking speed limit coming southbound on Hwy 101 through Petaluma this time of year. Quick rubbernecking, gawking, and tying up traffic like the moron you are. I'm sorry your life has been so fucking sheltered you have not seen these two items before in your life and feel the need to stop suddenly on the freeway causing an 18 car pile up behind you to stop and stare.

There is a corn maze. There is a pumpkin patch. People are out getting their pumpkins and visiting the corn maze. Get over it and DRIVE. This happens EVERY year, dumbshit.

I originally posted this a year ago, and apparently there has been ZERO progress made in human evolution so I am posting again.

Generational Gap

Today I was asked if Freddy Mercury and Tim Curry was the same person......

Still Waiting to be Home Alone

I have been ranting about this topic since I've started this blog. I never have the luxury of being home alone. Oh excuse me, I did have 12 minutes last week.

I wish my husband would take the kids and leave for a weekend. I have been dropping hints since the dawn of time. He never leaves. The kids never leave. They are always here. Then the relatives are always here. I can't get rid of anybody.

Maybe it would not bother me so much if I did not work and had the house to myself for a few sacred hours during the day, but I do work full-time.

I just want the house to myself for a few days. It would be so peaceful and blissful. I could actually get something done instead of tripping over bodies and constantly picking up and cooking for everybody.

Some wives bitch because their husbands travel. I am envious. At least they can get the remote for a night or two. Maybe I'm just too independent.

Lazy State Employees: a.k.a. Fat Ladies

There is an old joke in the military about lazy, bureaucratic, paper-filler-outers, known as the "fat ladies."

BTW, biological sex did not matter. There were male "fat ladies" as well.

They just sit around day in and day out shuffling papers trying to look important, like they are doing something.

Here is a true story. I have three upper-management level employees who came to me from the State of California. Why???? That is a long story all onto itself that would require several "Quiet Rage" pre-rantings, and also intense psychotherapy on my part. Here is the gist of state workers: THEY DON'T WORK!

I have one of them coming to my office tomorrow all the way from Concord because he does NOT want direct deposit on his paycheck. See, his meager salary of $140,000 per year (not including benefits) warrants him a three-hour round trip to my office all the way from Contra Costa County to Sonoma County to physically pick up his paycheck as opposed to direct deoposit so he can have it *one* banking day ahead of time.

His life and finances depend on it. He makes $140,000 + and his wife is also a professional. And they can't wait ONE day for direct deposit? And HE is the one who is supposed to be driving this ship? Sorry..... I am the one doing the number crunching (for free I might add) to tell these idiots that 2 + 2 = 4....

Toto, we are not in Kansas anymore.....

Needless to say I received a wage garnishment for the same-above-mentioned-money-mismanging-lazy-state-employee-asswipe for back taxes from this same, overpaid, jerk-off just a month before. AND.... this asswipe will use company time, gas, and resources to come and pick up his check at my office when he really should be doing something more productive -- LIKE HIS FUCKIN' JOB!!!!!!!!

I hate to sound like a broken record, but the government bloat at the top is real. That is where the real budget crimes are happening. Don't let them tell that the state is broke and they don't have any money.

Bullshit. California should have plenty of money. They are just too busy sucking it up for themselves in their mis-managed cluster fucks.

Business Hours

Finally.....somebody gets it. I want to post this sign outside of my office door.
