Back to babysitting after the holidays

I don't care how many years an Admin person has been in the business. I will say this once and for all. Being an Office Manager is the EXACT same thing as being a babysitter. The main downfall is that the majority of the people you end up babysitting are older than you are, for the most part. I swear... I come back to the office after a nice, long, much-needed vacation, and the first thing I hear from one of the same, typical whiners is, "It isn't working," and, "Can you get more of this?" Christ people! How about trying this for a change, "Hey! How was your Christmas and New Year's? Did you have fun on vacation? Did you go anywhere?" But I guess it takes more effort to be nice to someone unless you see some sort of benefit for yourself. It's obviously much easier for them to ask/ demand what they need/ want. It takes up less energy and brain activity... Not a whole lot of thought involved.

Restore America, Rulers of the Homophobic

Recently, a Bill that was passed in the state of Oregon for Domestic Partnership, allowing an additional 500 Civil Rights to Gays and Lesbians, was halted by a Federal Court judge. The Bill, which was to allow Domestic Partners to be joined in Civil Union and be certfied was brought to a halt because of a Tenessee-based, far-right group called Restore America. Basically, they were bitching left and right (although considering how pathetic they are, they don't know left from right)because well, they don't like the gays. They circulated a petition to collect enough signatures in order to have the Bill sent to the voters. When the petition reached the state of Oregon, those who reviewed the signatures and found several to be invalid and therefore tossed it out the window so to speak. In retaliation, Restore America turned around and filed a lawsuit against the state of Oregon, claiming that the procedures used with the petition review was illegal and unjust. This prompted the Federal Court judge to put everything on hold. Okay, so stop me if I'm wrong. Restore America is basically suing Oregon because they didn't get what they want, right? I mean, there is a difference between state law and federal law. It was illegal in their eyes because they view homosexuality as illegal. Whaaaa-freakity-whaaaa! Fuck you Restore America. Here's a quarter... Go call somebody who cares. They not only need the Whaaaambulance, they also need a Petty Wagon, a lifetime supply of tissue for their issue, and shit load of toilets to spew their shit-ridden mouths into. Am I bitter? No! Not at all!
