Let's not be friends, 'cause then we could never fuck...

So things are pretty good right now.
I kicked ass on a test yesterday, and I've got a pretty good understanding of what's happening in all my courses.

I was thinking about this the other day...

When I'm getting slow service, or a rude customer service person, my reaction is to be really nice. You should understand that I'm a pretty negative person, and I often come across as an asshole, but I just don't see why people thinking freaking out, yelling and insulting a customer service person is going to make things any better or faster. I'm just nice, sympathetic to the fact that work is stressful and people aren't always operating at 100%, and just give my "pleases" and "Thank you's," and the service always get better. If I'm really pissed off at them, I just won't go there again. There's no point in making a scene; it accomplishes nothing, and makes someone feel like shit.

In short: Be polite and patient with people. It pays off in the long run. And remember, you have bad days too. A little sympathy goes a long way.

Jesus might not love you, but I do,

P.S. I endlessly make fun of religion, but don't really care if you love Jesus or Moses or Mohammed or Buddha or whatever. I just think people need to inject a little humour into their religious beliefs. God certainly isn't serious all the time.

P.P.S. Apparently the people who govern passports don't understand the concept of an "expiration date." Passports apparently expire 6 months before the expiration date. Seems 6 months too early to me.
