Irritated
Ok...maybe its just me being sensitive, but I reall really hate it when people tear down something that I have worked so hard to build up. Maybe I want plaudits, maybe I am prideful, maybe I just need to chill out. But I cant help but be irritated at these people who flick off the newspaper like its nothing. Like I didnt spend every minute of MY weekend working on it...hours that I DID NOT get paid for. For what? A fancy smancy line on my Resume? I tell myself that I am doing it for posterity, for the future of our University...but then I wonder....why the HELL are people so freakin DENSE?? Why do they think nothing of others and everything of themselves?? I have poured everything into the paper this year and I am starting to wonder if it was worth it. I missed out on alot because I spent every waking minute in the office doing work THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE by other people. Dont get me wrong, I do not mind picking up the slack and helping out the editors, that is my job. But I do not appreciate people flicking their responsiblities off on the next person because they are too damn lazy to finish the job or do it right. When the section editor gets shafted by a writer, I get to feel the sting. Ugh. I am so tired of the bullshit. So tired. Thank GOD i only have two more weeks here and that this week is the last week for the paper. All i have left to do is one more layout weekend and a passing of the baton to Ben and the new staff.
AND another rant that I have: MY OPINIONS ON MATTERS HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH MY POLITICAL LEANINGS! Goodness gracious. If I hear one more person belittle my opinion or color it as "well thats the republican in you talking" I will spit. Literally spit. Gah. grow up people the world DOES NOT revolve around politics. I care about the issues, yes. But I do not SPOUT off ridiculous nonsense and blindly follow the suppositions of my party of choice. So if you say this to me...ever...please excuse the irritated non verbal signals...as I will probably refrain from verbally kicking your ass.
That is all i have to say. I have a headache. I have a stupid powerpoint presentation to start/finish tomorrow and countless other menial assignments that test my patience and push the limits of the attention span.
In other much less ranting news:
I love Mark and I vie for "Luckiest girl" position with Steph. He listened to me read my speech and we shopped at Wal Mart and he just makes me ridiculously happy. Hearing him laugh is the most amazing feeling in the world and I wish i didnt have to wait a year to offically call him my husband...me and my stupid obession with Spring and Sunflowers and an Outdoor Ceremony. :-P
OK Im done with my ridiculous blathering.
