First World Troubles

Not being able to eat what you want sucks. So does being fat though and right now the fat-hate is winning the conflict.

It is so damn hot and dry here, it feels like the city could just start on fire any moment…need some rain badly…and there are still 2 traditionally very hot months left before it starts cooling. Yikes.

Canada Day came and went, fairly uneventful…finally watched Dallas Buyers Club…but after seeing the Mark Ruffalo one about something similar (The Normal Heart) DBC did not traumatize me too much…great performances though without a doubt. Anyone actors willing to lose that much weight for a role are pretty damn dedicated. Shit, some of us cannot lose that much weight to save our own damn lives, let alone for a movie role.

Work is a quiet place of tension these days. When people get fired without cause it casts a heavy cloud of tension over any office…by office I mean our little corner of it, I am sure 85% of the people on this floor couldn't give less of a shit about it honestly…but us support staff, we are pissed. Especially with the campaign of suckuppery going on. The manager who rarely gives us the time of day is suddenly stopping in all the time making conversation and small talk, asking questions like he is truly SUDDENLY concerned about health issues, etc. It is very transparent that he realizes we think he is a tyrant asshole…and this is how he is attempting to look like less of a C U NEXT TUESDAY. Super fail, not fooling anyone.

Firing someone without cause but then going on to list all the reasons why seems shitty b/c the “without cause” ensures you do not need to prove anything, you just get to shit talk the person and they have no recourse to defend themselves. Such a slimy lawyer maneuver...either way – the person in question is enjoying the generous severance and never has to come back to this cesspool of dysfunction so in the end she is the winner despite these managerial turds best efforts.
