Stupid University Employees

Okay, I don't really have a name to put to this particular person, but he's making my day hell. I have my first trial run appointment to figure out how to do my hair for the wedding. Because of certain things that don't pertain to the university at all, I didn't get a chance to get my pictures printed out to take with me this afternoon. I didn't figure this was a big deal. I carry my laptop and that's it. Well, I get a call this morning that someone, and I know who this someone is but he shall remain nameless in this rant, never filed the paperwork transferring my laptop to our department. So, the guy is coming to look at it this afternoon. I'm leaving at 2 for my appointment. I have black and white, not so great quality, copies printed out of the pictures. But they should be in friggin' color!!!!! People are conspiring to give me a bad week. But at least I remembered to bring my camera, my tiara, and my veil. As well as pictures of the dress. At least it's Thursday and not Monday, right?

Double Standards and Political Correctness

Each of these things seems to take center stage right now. If it concerns either of these in a negative light it's not allowed to be stated. Sometimes it amazes me some of the people that will censor you.
Thomas was saying something about how he hated double standards this afternoon. Considering the conversion, it was obvious how he was talking about some races being allowed things that others aren't. Fill in the blanks.
I simply said, 'Yeah, but we're white. We aren't allowed.' And suddenly he was all SSSSHHHHHHHHH because we currently have a black temp working in the office. It's not like a said anything derogatory. I really don't have a racist bone in my body. I just stated in a mixed environment something that everyone I know feels, but refuses to say in public.
I have nothing again the African American race. I look up to some wonderful people of the race. Of course, some of the most annoying people I've known have been black too. But race is unimportant to me. It always has been. I judge people by their actions and attitudes. If I don't like someone, it's because of how I've seen them treat other people. If I like them, it's because I have only seen them do nice things for others.
But of course, I can't say what I think and feel. If I did it would be considered racist. Hell, I've lived in Mississippi all my life. Maybe I could see the thoughts if I were from the North. Ever since emmancipation Northerns have been more racist that Southerns. Why can't we all just get along.....

Don't Take Offense

I'm starting this particular blog for when something ticks me off and I just want to get it out. No one should read here if they are going to take offense when I say something about them. This is just for me to vent my frustration over things. Most of these don't REALLY bother me, and I'll be over them within a couple of hours. So, obviously, not everything will make it here. But nothing is sacred in this land, not God, not Country, not even love.
