these people just piss me off

I forgot my card today and had to knock to get in the building. The HR director was standing right there talking to her subordinate who was troubled to reach over and press a button to let me in. She was not happy with me. She told me in no uncertain terms that I was wrong in having forgotten it. She said I do this all the time - which is once a month as far as she is concerned.

I got news for you, lady. There is no amount of harping that is going to make me remember it. My memory sucks and that is all there is to it. Sometimes when I forget the card and have to go back home for it, and I think, "dammit, this is it. I am not going to forget this again." Even forcing myself to drive back home and get it, isnt enough impetus to remember two days later. I thank myself every day when I walk in that door and find my card in my pocket. Though I may not look it, I *am* angry with myself for forgetting, so don't assume I am nonchalant about it.

In other words, kiss my ass.

president Bush

It was nice to hear Bush come down on Israel. He also came down hard on Arafat, which was also good.

I heard him on the news this morning. He sure is a poor orator. Oh well. At least his words were good. I love how widely praised he suddenly is, for taking this stance. What the hell was he waiting for?

okay now

I went to the angry woman from this morning to explain that I wasn't unconcerned about the issue, and she was, like, "oh, I was just giving you a hard time." We talked a bit more, and she offered a few suggestions, similar to the ones that you offered, and she ended up admitting that she was grumpy this morning.
