Though I'm not out to change the world, I did just sit for fifteen minutes and write a complaint letter to Arby's regarding the way the manager treated his associates, especially in front of customers! He had a really nasty tone and even YELLED at the ladies preparing our food. I can't stand for shit like that; I basically told Arby's that I'll never set foot in that location again because that manager was such a dick to his associates, even if he did have a smile for every customer at the counter. Ass.
In other news, I started to get angry when I read the front page article from today's Courier-Journal about the school board bias ban vote. Obviously, I hate seeing religious groups decide to be all high-and-mighty and protest shit because they find it to be immoral. I did kinda chuckle when the "kill them gays" kinda protester they had pictured on the front page was some really fat bearded dude with a shirt that had "iron man" on it. Yeah, way to work on that keg there buddy. Fatass.
But the main thing that curbed my anger and caused me to laugh out loud was the following quote from the article (A8, Column 1, for those that want an actual citation of sorts):
Parent Stacy Grim also questioned why the policy needed to be changed because the district's current policy included age, color, creed, disability, marital or parental status, national origin, race, sex, military status or political affiliation. "Every living person is covered under the current policy," she said. "Why change that?"
Um, Stacy, let's put down the Bible and think about this for a second. The policy change "extends employment, discrimination, and harassment protection to gay, lesbian, and bisexual workers."
Let's analyze that sentence: DISCRIMINATION and HARASSMENT. GAY, LESBIAN, and BISEXUAL.
Does the current policy cover those? Um, no.
Are these people being discriminated or harassed because of their AGE, COLOR, CREED, DISABILITY, MARITAL OR PARENTAL STATUS, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RACE, SEX, MILITARY STATUS, OR POLITICAL AFFILIATION? Um, once again, no.
Dumbass.
It's times like these that I channel Dr. Cox from Scrubs. That man is my idol; he's simultaneously a good guy and a complete asshole. I'm not exactly a follower of the show, but I'll stop to watch re-runs if they're on solely to watch that man be a complete smartass.
Okay, so maybe you encountered four posteriors today. Five if you want to be technical and want to include me.
You ass.
There, you're now number six. Unless someone else read this first and thought the same thing as you, making you a higher number of ass.
