Getting older
I know I should no fight the system, because the system is filled with stupid people paid to keep being stupid. But there is always inside me that force that pushes hard, harder and then some. To the point of saying to myself ok stop it I'll DO IT. But then I lie to the force, and walk away. So I finally don't come out and play that little sick game that you don't know how you got into in the first place if you are in.
Today one of my errands was to pick up a letter from the Post Office for my granny. Her mailman had sent her a note to go pick something, we didn't know what it was at that time, from that place because apparently she wasn't home when he knocked at the door which of course wasn't true, she doesn't leave her house often and she hadn't that day.
So I headed to the assigned place in the hottest day ever to face what I like to call pretty people that are given a job because they just look good. When I asked for the letter the FIRST girl, the one I didn't call names, said that they didn't have the letter, that the mailman didn't actually deliver that letter because it was to warm outside and he couldn't go around town with heavy things on. ONE ENVELOP I replied. So she called her manager. Dilbert once wrote that morons end up on the management team because that way they don't affect directly the productivity of companies. Well what can I say, if stupidity had a face...I think I found it. She said that millions were called to come to the central post office to pick a government happy holiday card because we all had our taxes properly paid to that day, and that as there were many of those they didn't deliver them, and ask EVERYONE to go pick their CARD there. But they didn't have them.
OH Barbara I said, calm down you Barbara.
And then the force I was talking to you about couldn't resist the smoothing voice from my head that was trying to calm me down, I SAID this is just not fine, this is just not an oops happy fools day, I said I wanted to get the cost of my travel to that place plus my time wasted with a quota. RIGHT NOW. And then the stupidity began to emerge...The bitch said the only thing she could do was to give me an advice, TO ME YOU SON OF A, AN ADVICE.
THE Bitch: "Go and complain to the government" ME: "The one that messed up is your company as I'm concern, I'll complain to you, your company then can complain to the government if they messed up from the beginning" Bitch: "Fill this complain form" ME: "YOu bet" (first time in my life)
So I did, I took the time to fill a complain form. I had never filled up one because I thought they were useless, and there I was, feeling what the heck am I doing here. For a moment I thought this has to be done, I'm defending people like my granny that can't get here in this hot weather and they just have to. The young in me saying I will make a change, I can SAVE THIS WORLD. What an asshole.
When I finished she gave me my copy. COMPLETELY BROKEN. So I demanded to her to sign the form given to me explaining that she had given it to me that way, she refused. And she said, if you want to fill another complain about that you can.
OOOH BARBARA, OHH BARBARA, PLEASE DON'T DO WHAT YOU ARE THINKING,,OHH MY..
(yes there it was again that smooth inner voice getting scared and scared)
I thought to myself I didn't want to play that game anymore. I would just wait to see what that first complain could mend. I mean I DID threat to bring this case to court. I think for being a virgin at complains I sucked as expected. At least I now know how it feels to feel impotent and I should have trusted my guts. People I recomend to always trust your inner voice. At least I reaffirmed what I had always believed in. Other than we are surrounded by morons who only care about saving they freakin damn asses.
FYI, the government paid $4.25 for each card and postal, but the mailman was just to hot to do his job..plus I can't no longer go inside that building ever again and I will have to warn my sis not to do it either.
8/13/05 - It's probably not a great idea not to go to your medical appoitment when you get the best job they could have probably offered you, just because you want to mantein that perfect record of never taking a blood test.
