(no subject)
I know this is completely a random thing to post, but I cant say it properly on facebook, for reasons that will become obvious.
I work with such utter lifeless idiots! FOOLS! PHILISTINES! YARGHHGHEGQGBQ#FD!
i mean, i know i come out with some....odd things. And i could cope if none of them knew who H.R Geiger was. or about classics like Day of the Triffids.
When i brought my Plushie Face-Hugger to work (to wear as a hat), i could cope that a majority of them (!!!!) hadn't even seen Alien or Aliens.
But today...i...i've just lost so much respect for the people.
background: work is big on celebrating people's birthdays. we all gather round in the arvo, mumble through happy birthday, then get cake. Delicious Caek.
as you may have guessed, part of the ceremony is the usual three cheers.
hip hip hooray.
well, as you may be seeing where this is going - i took to saying "Huzzah!" instead of hooray. bit of flavour to the proceedings, and it certainly has more enthusiasm then the piddly little "hrrayy..." moan that most people come out with.
so i've been doing that for about 3 or 4 months worth of birthdays so far.
so after today (which was my Doppleganger's Birthday...another word most of them didn't know)
two of them - team leaders both - a mid 30's greek dude called pete and a late 30s chick called tricia (pregnant with her third, also has a couple of degrees in psych, which she likes to tell us all about. generally nice people) go "what does that mean anyway?""yeah, what does it mean chris?"
and i go "...are you serious? it means hooray...?"
and Pete goes "yeah, in what world?"
and i go "errr....the real one? in english?"
"what, when?" goes pete
"not even a hundred years ago. old english? not even that?"
"yeah right" goes pete, with this condescending look.
honestly....Huzzah. not...even....
I...
It....
Brain....

so thats my rant. I've never felt like i'm intellectually superior, in a "get away from me, plebes" kind of way, ever. i know i read a lot, and am prone to being quick-of-thought (oh ho ho, too thy horn, sir). But i've never, ever, ever felt like i was surrounded by absolute dumb-shits without two brain cells like this before.
it's just
just wow.
in closing - i have a few workies on FB, so can't really spit out my scathing venom there. after all, if i call them all dumb-as-rocks-wankers-who-need-to-read-a-spot-book-for-a-challenge, then i might get called out on it.
especially if i refer to one of my bosses as that.
so there's that.
right - sleep time. please reassure me that smart people exist T_T
