My first real post here includes bitching? SHOCKING

Can you believe that there are things that are bugging ME? It boggles the mind, doesn’t it?

First, I live in New York State. Where it is cold. The temps have been below zero, so WHY do people keep asking if the indoor pool is heated? HELLLLLLLLO? I so want to be snarky with them, but I control myself. Seriously though. Fucking Duhhhh.

Then last night there was a lady and her two kids in the lobby. The kids were wearing bathing suits because they had just gone swimming. (Yes, the pool is heated.) The automatic doors open, and all of a sudden the lady starts freaking out and then she tells me “My daughter is allergic to the cold”.

…

The other thing that I think is totally ridiculous is hearing that the high school I went to will no longer be having a Valedictorian and Salutatorian. WTF? More of this feel good, fuzzy, don’t harm their inner child NONSENSE. It pisses me off. And NO, I was not even in the top 10 percent of my class, so I was not one of the brains. I am just sick to death of everyone worrying about hurting someone’s feelings. Bunch of crybabies.

(Amy, PLEASE do not do your kid’s hair like THAT. heh)

The newspaper website in that town SUCKS so I can’t find the actual article, but basically it said that some of the students were “concerned” with the current system. (Which has been in place for YEARS.) The principal was quoted as saying the current system is “adversarial” and “would reduce the bitterness that comes from competing for the scholarships tied to being valedictorian and salutatorian.”

Now most people are comparing it to competition in sports, whatever. I just do not understand why people are so worried about their precious darlings having their feelings hurt. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD, THINGS DON’T ALWAYS GO YOUR WAY! These same kids will probably still be living at home with Mommy and Daddy in ten years too. It pisses me off. Don’t get me started on the mentality of many of the welfaerie entitlement whores. (I realize that NOT all people on welfare are entitlement whores, but I worked at Wal Mart, so believe me, many are.) I remember the valedictorian of my class, that kid worked his ass offthrough school, he deserved it. I wasn’t insulted by it, give me a break.

Okay, I am rambling……but these reasons AND MORE are why I doubt I will ever move back there.

Now for “Things that make you go ewwwwww, or blehhh, or just generally give you the creeps, can anyone please tell me what it means to “strip membranes” on a pregnant woman? Ugh. Maybe I don’t want to know.

I guess this post is long enough for today.
