Just an Ordinary Day
It's supposed to be Christmas Eve, but it certainly doesn't feel like it. When I got online to talk to my husband through icq, like I do everyday, he proceeded to tell me about how the people that he works for continues to treat him like shit. His boss decided that Christmas Eve was a good day to tell him that everyone is complaining about him.


He works as a computer guy for the judicial department in our state. He is responsible for 13 counties in Iowa, and that means 13 different courthouses strung about 200 miles in diameter slightly north of where we live. Thats a lot to fix, and lot to keep computers running, and certainly alot of driving. I guess he's getting complaints because he can't fix things in 5 minutes like people want him to, not to mention the fact that he can't teleport there. They say he's not 'very customer service oriented', which basically means he's not a fake, happy, smiling, give you everything thing you want at the exact time you want it, kind of person. I know my husband does everything he can do to keep things working. He is very smart, and very good at his job. But one thing he isn't is the bubbly computer guy traul-uping around with a magic wand granting wishes and making joy. He does his job, he's nice about it, he's not an asshole in anyway, but he's not going to try and sell you on any 'this is a beautiful world' crap. And it seems like thats what everyone wants.


The next complaint that he has been getting is about his apperance. He has long hair and a beard. He even had one judge (who we're sure is one of the complainers), make fun of him, calling him Jesus Chris Superstar. Ha Ha, very funny. Well, it was kinda funny when Noah told me about it, but it really bugged him. He goes to work and it's okay for people to make fun of him? And he's the one getting in trouble??


Noah has even had a complaint about someone seeing his skin when his shirt fell above his belt line while he was under a desk trying to reach some cords. Can you believe that?? That's the most retarded complaint I have ever heard. What's he supposed to do? Glue his shirt to his ass? Atleast he wasn't showing off his buttcrack. Although with all the complaints he's been getting, I almost wish he would have, just to make some of these complaints a little more legitemate.


It's really retarded. Noah does his job, quite well as a matter of fact. And what gives these people the right to put his job (and his family) in jeparody just because there is one thing that irritated them. Do they not have enough backbone to say "hey, can you try to do this a little better", or "this bugs me", or whatever. Talk to him about it. All these things are really minor things. He didn't get a pc installed the day after it was ordered, his hair is a little longer than they like, they don't think he smiles enough, he needs to get a tan. What the fuck ever, get over it. The world doesn't revolve around you stupid people with nothing better to do than to complain. They just love the power of being able to go to his boss and force him to conform to the way they want him. I'm so sick of these people.


And next to that, I'm pissed off at his boss for thinking that Christmas Eve was the best time in the world to tell my husband, "hey, everybody thinks your shit, Merry Christmas". Oh, thats nice. I really wish we had the money to tell all these people to fuck off!
We spent $20 on the lottery, the jackpot is 300 million! I hope we win! If we do, I'm going to personally tell everyone of the people that complained about them that they are a spineless rat, who is so pathetic they have to resort to trying to destroy other peoples lives to try and make their's better.
