A Rant
I'm having a frustrating time all around - so instead of unloading in my blog about how much I really feel like some people just need to get over themselves... I've decided to rant about a couple of my pet peeves. Ready?
First of all, I read a lot of slash. I mean a LOT. Gobs. I've never claimed to be a grammatical or spelling dynamo but I at least know the difference between prostrate and prostate. Nothing chaps my ass more than to be reading a very steamy scene, which is otherwise written very well, only to stumble when the wrong word is used. These words are so very NOT interchangable people!!
Secondly, we are currently in daylight savings time. This means, that if you choose to use the 3 digit time zone abbreviation, you would use CDT. NOT CST. I had to suffer through 4 hours of training learning how to use a new system and the timezone is set to CST. Makes me wonder if the stupid thing is going to try and spring forward this fall. And it really, really makes me wonder about the intelligence level of the people who designed this new system. I make mistakes all the time, but that one is so blaringly obvious.
Next, ladies who don't know how to flush a #@$ toilet. Believe it or not, I was in the restroom when I actually heard a woman use the toilet. Leave the stall, wash her hands and leave the restroom. Yeah, unfortunately I couldn't help it and I had to glance in to see if she had flushed and I just missed it. Thank the goddess her toilet seat cover was still there so I didn't have a moment of insanity and think to look further. Ok, ew.
Wow, thanks, I feel a little better.
