Day 22.
"Rant about something. Get up on your soapbox and tell us how you really feel."
Day 22, Oh the things I could say on this topic. Whew! But, I won't waste my time or energy on those things. Instead I will keep them as
mental rants and get on with the good stuff! I'm the first to admit I have a short temper. I don't like to deal with a lot of non-sense or shenanigans. I guess you could say I have a low tolerance for that stuff. And really, if I'm being completely honest it doesn't take too much to make me want to rant sometimes!
Dear people who think their time is more precious than mine,
I would like to issue you a news flash:
It is not. An appointment time is actually a set time, not just an estimated time for the appointment. A set time. Which, for those of you who can't comprehend... it means be on time, or better yet, early! I plan my day around the appointments I have, so you being late and having a lack of respect doesn't really fit in.
Dear "one-uppers,"
You really grind my gears. Oh, I took a cruise and went to ___, ___, and ____. Let me guess, you went on a cruise that went to
waaayyy better places? I won a million dollars in the lottery. Wait, you won two million, didn't you? I got a new bag that I am OMGSOEXCITED about..... you've had it and it's soooo last year. I'm not sure why you can't just let people say their peace. Or why you feel the need to constantly one-up someone. It's not an attractive quality.
Dear "the blog Joneses,"
I can't keep up with you. And at this point why even try?!? In the real world there are the Joneses and that doesn't end in the virtual world either! There will always be the blogger that has new, nicer clothes, a better blog design, more followers, and so on! Do I lust after the items you have? Yes. Do I need them or strive for them on a daily basis? No. I am perfectly happy with my life and I'm fine with (
sometimes) being envious of yours.
Dear mean girls (+ guys),
You make me sick. I can think of a thousand other things you all should be doing instead of being mean. Just think, if you put your hatred towards doing something good, you could get a lot done! I'm not sure why you're mean, maybe you have something going on in your life. Regardless, don't take it out on others. Being mean sure doesn't get you anywhere in life. I'm not saying I'm innocent because I've been a "mean girl" before in my time, but it got me nowhere and did nothing for me. Channel your hatred and anger into something better, like sports.
Dear "entitled" clients who come into my office,
I would like to let you know that just because you come in here waving your hands and bobbing your head demanding things doesn't mean you're going to get what you want. Actually, in this case you are
less likely to get anything from us when it comes to your attitude. You are just like the rest of us. There is proper protocol, a need for an appointment, and just because you "think" you're entitled to something right-this-second doesn't mean we think the same thing.
Dear rubberneckers,
Oh how you irk me. It's five o'clock on a Friday and we are all trying to get somewhere important (like home after a long day, or to Charlotte to see my BF). I don't know why as humans we feel the need to stop traffic (literally) and look and see whats happening with police lights/construction/something on the other side of the highway. I wish people wouldn't. When I see that you rubberneckers have made me sit in fully stopped traffic for 45 minutes over a fender bender you make me want to lose my damn mind. Literally. If I am having to stop and sit for that long it better be one amazing thing happening on the other side of the highway that prevented me from making my dinner date on time.
I'll stop there because there's a possibility that I could go on all day! (I've got a lot to say!)
What makes you rant-y
