It's Thursday. It's not as good as Friday, then again- Friday itself isn't as good as Payday Friday. So I guess it just goes to show you, no one's ever 100% happy. haha.... You know... I have to vent a little bit today. I know that everyone's had some run-ins with the type of folks that are "book smart" but lack in every form of common fucking sense imaginable. Well, lucky for me- we just hired on a 19 year old gal, who apparantly received a grant in school for her high IQ... but low and behold- her run-of-the-mill common sense, seems to have taken the short bus en-route to her mental gathering. I don't get it... it's one thing for her be smart (Great! Kudos! Well Done On The Brain Power!) and to be fair- it's really ok that she's lacking in the basic forms of social graces and street-smarts. My issue with this girl, is her holier than thou attitude. If she would just buck up and show a little respect for the senior staff (not old fogies, mind you... but us with seniority) then I would be willing to take her under my wing and show her the ropes, tricks of the trade, etc. Transforming her from, bottom of the heap, into a marketing machine (ummmm, did I mention Humble in my personal traits? haha) but with her attitude towards the paper, the job, and those of us trying to train her..... all I really want to do- is take her under my wing and drop her from the nearest telephone pole. Sheesh.. Ok, well now that I've got that out, let's back track. I'm not really whining, I'm just trying to ciphon off some annoyance before the girl comes in. I hate misplaced frustration. You know the kind... the kick-the-dog-factor. The boss yells at his employee, the employee comes home and yells at his wife, the wife yells at the kids and the kids kick the dog. So, I try and be super mindful about that.....but lawdy, lawdy, my patience is wearing thin with this girl.I'm wondering, too- if alot of her attitude comes from her age? I remember being 18 or 19 and my boyfriend being my entire world. It's funny too see her going through the same actions..... she's been here less then a week, and already spends her time emailing him, calling him, texting him, arguing with him, taking breaks to call him.. coming back into the office apologizing cause she knows that she was gone way too long- talking on her cell to him. It's interesting to sit back and watch her go through the actions, knowing that this is a never ending cycle. Girls all across the world are familiar with that pattern.... we do it, then get over it, grow up and watch the next wave of chicks go through it. Do guys go through the same type pattern? Or is it just us girls that put everything on the line for the sake of the boy? Obviously not being a guy, I can't really decipher the Boy Code/ patterns as easily as I can pick up on the girls.... it always seemed to me though, growing up - that guys typically had other things they were into, drinking beer, playing in bands, video games, sports, hanging out with there friends, art, etc... BY THE WAY, I know that this musing is a sweeping generalization- so No Pouncing On Personal Musing's. I know alot of girls who, even at an early age- had there own hobbies, and never really made boys the focus of there life. They turned out to be named Rainbow and gay. Hhaha.. Just kidding. Seriously though, ummmmm... whoa- seriously, it's time to back away from the blog. Bad Rya, No Blog. For all my intelligence, you'd think I'd be smart enough to delete this journal entry, but honestly- it felt good to get out some ramblings before I actually face the day. And really, your all used to it anyway. So there, neener freaking neener.
