Stupid people...

Can't get into the specifics, but I HATE some of the people with whom I work. I am a consultant and I have several clients, but one in particular (my largest) is FULL of IDIOTS!!!
I'm serious, today I drove home for 1/2 hour in total silence (radio off) clenching my teeth the whole way home. I try to remember that I do this for my wife and daughter. But, I have VIVID daydreams of literally ripping the throats out of some of the people I deal with. Stupidity and 100% absolute lack of common sense run rampant. The irony is, the majority of these individuals are Ph D's!! (No offense SaxonPig)
Do any of you have jobs that you know you're good at but you have trouble dealing with SELFISH people who are only interested in POLITICS and the status they can attain (regardless of actual knowledge of ANYTHING)? The same kind of people that'll tell you how to do your job when they don't have the foggiest clue of what they're talking about. Some days I wish Judge Dread's meteor would collide with the Earth RIGHT where I work! Ugh!
Thank you, rant mode now off...

Ashley Warden may have caused herself some major trouble on Facebook. She makes a veiled threat against the police, as a server for a major restaurant chain. She also has a breathalyzer interlock on her car. Not just anyone gets one of those! She also posts complaints about her employer for the world to see!
She is the woman who was in the news a while back for receiving a very expensive citation because she let her 3-year-old son pee in the yard. I didn't, and don't agree with such a citation, but the place to take care of it is court, not one's own workplace.
I wonder what happens next!
Most people in this country today with phds(piled higher and deeper) arn't fit to clean out a horse barn.This country was built with people able to DO things...not wave a piece of paper around.

"It was like that when I got here".
THIS IS AN ACTUAL LETTER OF RESIGNATION FROM AN EMPLOYEE AT ZANTEX
COMPUTERS, USA, TO HIS BOSS.
HIS BOSS APPARENTLY RESIGNED SOON AFTERWARDS!
Dear Mr. Baker,
As an employee of an institution of higher education, I have a few very basic expectations.
Chief among these is that my direct superiors have an intellect that ranges above that of the
common ground squirrel. After your consistent and annoying harassment of my co-workers
and myself during the commission of my duties, I can only surmise that you are one of the
few true genetic wastes of our time. Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every
little nuance of everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not only a
waste of time, but a waste of precious oxygen.
I was hired because I know how to network computer systems, and you were apparently
hired to provide amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly attempt
to understand the concept of "cut and paste" for the hundredth time. You will never understand
computers. Something as incredibly simple as binary still gives you too many options. You will
also never understand why people hate you, but I am going to try and explain it to you, even
though I am sure this will be just as effective as telling you what an IP is. Your shiny new iMac
has more personality than you ever will. You walk around the building all day, shiftlessly looking
for fault in others. You have a sharp dressed useless look about you that may have worked for
your interview, but now that you actually have responsibility, you pawn it off on overworked staff,
hoping their talent will cover for your glaring ineptitude. In a world of managerial evolution, you are
the blue-green algae that everyone eats and laughs at. Managers like you are a sad proof of the
Dilbert principle.
Seeing as this situation is unlikely to change without you getting a full frontal lobotomy reversal,
I am forced to tender my resignation, however, with a few parting thoughts:
(1) When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is illegal to give me a bad
recommendation. The most you can say to hurt me is "I prefer no comment". I will have friends
randomly call you over the next couple of years to keep you honest, because I know you would be
unable to do it on your own.
(2) I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I know every password you have
used for the last five years. If you decide to get cute, I am going to publish your "favourites" list, which
I conveniently saved when you made me "back up" your useless files. I do believe that terms like
"*" are not usually viewed favourably by the administration.
(3) When you borrowed the digital camera to "take pictures of your mother's b-day", you neglected to
mention that you were going to take pictures of yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot to erase them
like the techno-moron you really are. Suffice it to say I have never seen such odd acts with a ketchup
bottle, but I assure you that those have been copied and kept in a safe place pending the authoring
of a glowing letter of recommendation. (Try to use a spell check please, I hate having to correct your
mistakes.)
Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of recommendation by 8.00 a.m. tomorrow. One word
of this to anybody, and all of your little twisted repugnant obsessions will be open to the public.
Never f**k with your systems administrator. Why?..Because they know what you do with all that free time.
Sincerely,
Darryl Brewster.

Hahahaha........never thought of the "aggravation surcharge" I call it a "Stupid Tax"
Seriously folks.......if you are self-employed, and you have PAIN IN THE BUTT clients/customers, GET RID OF THEM!
I did........90% of my problems were caused by 5% of my customers!
I just told them "Sorry, you are fired as my customer. Please do not shop here again."
The look on their face was priceless, but well worth it.
I make more money, and have less hassles now. Good riddance.

NO! You may not have my guns! Now go crawl back into your hole!

Each spring students spend 5 day taking big statewide test. Schools have to keep improving their scores or state will take over the system. Problem is the kids taking the test don't receive any results good or bad. The school gets all the consequences.
This test is based on a set of "exit expectations" for each grade. Teachers have to document when they teach each exit expectation. That way if a kid doesn't do well the administration can prove it wasn't their fault.
Oh yeah, the last test is given their junior year, because the first year they gave to seniors and --guess what-- seniors have a lot of important things on their minds in May, and they didn't do very well.
Now seniors seem to think it doesn't matter what they do their Senior year.
Each student has to produce a "portfolio" of 5 written pieces, each with certain requirements. A teacher got taken out of the classroom by a state administrator because she had the audacity to point to a sentance in a student's essay and say "You need a comma there." She had interfered with the student's "ownership" of the paper.
And today they finally noticed that --another big surprise -- that teachers haven't received a real raise in over 10 years. Budget keeps go up because the number of administrators to take care of this test keeps going up.
I could keep going, but you get the idea.
Been there, done that, got the blood pressure to prove it!

Not trying to sound lofty...I too have people like that in my life.
Hang tough.

In any case, I'll get through this like I always do. It just feels good to B*tch once in a while.
Thanks again!
