I'm still thinking I need to be that big nasty dog and house sit although I am soft spoken and perhaps they would not listen to such a weenie.

@ The 42. I am going to be passed over for a full time job for someone who has a loud mouth. She acts like she is your friend to your face and gossips behind your back.She gossips about everyone to everyone.It's just not me. The new kids love her but the old schoolers like me distrust her.She is so police state. She suppects everyone is a theif. She went after the job I wanted. I was a shoe in for this job till she caught wind of it. I may not get it because of her family connections in this business. She is so like my list below.

on the flip side. If I don't get it I will quite possibly get another job for the state or in Education which might be better and perhaps that is what I should again this year I am torn about which direction I want this to really go.
Thanks everyone for allowing me to vent a little.



1. People without integrity.
2. Abusive people
3. People who attempt to divide a community.
4.People who like drama.
5.TV evangelists.
6.Gossips.
7. People that have no manners.

My institution overpays and underpays, drastically either way in most cases. Those with what I call "easy-bake oven" Master's degrees (insert in one end and the paper comes out the other all ready to go) are lauded and lorded over, yet most don't know basic knowledge I received in a bachelor's program.
The phonies rise to the top like so much cream, while many of us are underpaid, struggling to live, and receiving the brunt of the belignorant students who we are "servicing."
Some days it's so hard to take. I tell myself God has a plan for me. I tell myself that water finds its own level. I take pride in what I do. Seems for naught.

So now I too have vented (this came right on the tail of an internal job posting offering wages around 10000 more than our new department person will be offered, while expecting no further education or customer service skills) and I thank you for opening up the floor for me.

Now, my addition to the list:

People with the depth of a mud puddle.

(I feel better)

Skysidhe: I feel your pain... I'm stuck in a dead end job for one more year because it's getting me my scholarship for college, but after that I'm outa here! Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that it's not worth changing jobs because of a bitch of a co-worker- you'll find people like that everywhere.

Hagar: 32 is NOT old! Talk to me when you turn forty. (That's middle age, so some people call it old) And this is coming from a "Young Person"! (20)

The 42. wow That is so awesome to be getting a scholarship! Congradulations on that! What will you be taking in college??



Actually I am not exactly stuck. And neither are you by the way. I will be seeking employment which is more inline with my degree even if it means working two jobs again this fall. I am good with this. This could be a blessing in disguise.

Thank you both The 42 and Shawnee123.I appreciate the support more than you could imagine.

Prideful people (a lot of what I dislike comes from this, bad driving, rudeness, selfishness, close-mindedness, and the like)
People who ask caring questions when they don't really care about the answer (I get this a lot being in a wheelchair, the worst kind of patronizing)
Bad paint jobs
Ill fitting clothes

I'm going to be majoring in Music and Psychology, hopefully (I want to go into music therapy) It's not a full scholarship, but it's an enorumous help- possibly more help than working for a year and using that money would be.

And now for my new addition to the list:

1)People who only listen to what you're saying for long enough to find a flaw and then ignore you or interrupt you with a correction

2)People who act extremely conscending toward people even slightly less intelligent than themselves, even if it's only in one particular area

3)All people who make mean-hearted fun of retarted or otherwise mentally impaired people, and of course people who make fun of physically handicapped people who are probably even smarter than they are!

4)My cat! Half the time you can't walk by her nowadays without her taking a swat at you with all claws extended, and all petters are at risk of being bitten with no warning. She used to be so cute and gentle! (And yes, she has been fixed so there's no reason for her to be this way

To add to the list:

When the happy birthday thread is the last thread responded to in Home Base so everytime I pull up the Cellar I see Happy Birthday.
