If I had bothered to make a New Year's resolution this year, it would probably have been minding my own business. Don't get me wrong, I'm not that annoying office busy body spreading gossip and lies; I'm more like the hall monitor taking notes on what everyone else is doing except I'm not reporting them..
But every week, my neighbors make me want to scream. It literally makes me angry that on trash day they don't take their garbage bin off the sidewalk after Waste Management comes by. They tend to leave the bin out there for days. Why am I so offended by their garbage bin? I don't know. I mean, it doesn't smell. It's not in my yard. I just loath to see it there days after it's been emptied. And yet, I don't move it for them. Becuase somehow that might be rude.
I would also like to find out what ad exec came up with the misleading concept of "it's 2 things" and kick them down a flight of stairs. Ever seen the Gillette commercial where the half-man half-horse is in the shower and he says he likes the body wash becuase it's 2 things (body wash and shampoo) like him ... a man and a smart shopper. And you're totally expecting him to say he's a man and horse. I HATE that commercial. Then Burger King made one with the little person who's endorsing the mini breakfast sandwiches. He's talking about how they are so little but work hard and he should know becuase ... wait for it .... HE'S A FARMER!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if that wasn't bad enough, I beleive it was BMW who also jumped on this bandwagon. If it's not them, some other luxury car did. But in the very boring commercial, they say the car is 2 things, but again, not what you expect them to say. The only reason why I even remember it is becuase of the concept line. Actually, I'd like to shake the hand of the person who thought up the idea. I mean 1 idea, 3 commericals. And then I'd shove the person down some stairs.
I don't want to offend anyone who is in the cleaning business but the cleaning people at my work just make me angry becuase I don't think they ever clean. To begin with, they rarely empty the bathroom trash can. And I don't know why this is so upsetting to me, I mean, at home, I take it out every few days. But they are emptying all the other trash cans ... But more importantly, they have a bonus system called the 5-finger discount. Let me just tell you, if you have anything worth eating in your office, consider it theirs. They raid my candy jar, ate my co-worker's Snickers bar and I've decided to blame them for drinking my Pepsi last week. My manager's sunglasses went missing .. he went home and when he came back .. gone. But whatever, that's all petty stuff. This is what really makes me angry: THEY STOLE MY 4TH QUARTER AWARD!!!!!!! I left it on my credenza to hang up and one day I got to work and noticed it was missing. So either they threw it away becuase they thought I didn't value it enough to hang up or one of them took it. I prefer to think the latter. It's funny to think someone took it home, crossed out my name, wrote in theirs and hung it up. Want to know about thier latest shenanigans? Over the Easter weekend, "someone" stole a crockpot and meat tray from the kitchen. I also had a plastic egg with 3 candies inside sitting on my desk. Monday morning, I thought I'd have a mid morning snack ... wrong! I opened up my egg and only found 1 candy inside. ONE! If you're gonna eat my candy, don't do me any favors by leaving me one.
Actually, I have a couple of articles to write, so I better get back to them. Right after I snack on some Midol.
