Sometimes you just need to vent
It's Monday the beginning of the work week and I understand that some people don't like their jobs or their lives for that matter. Me I really do like my job and I had to travel today for business. What I noticed as I drove the approx 4 hours to my destination is that people are rude as hell in general. Let me explain. It was a cold rainy yucky day on the roads today. Everyone should be watching their speed due to the weather conditions but of course everyone is in a hurry. I am in the right lane because I am choosing to obey the speed limit and I value my life on slick roads. People are flying past me giving me the evil eye because I am in the slow lane doing five miles or so over the posted speed limit. SMH.
I decided to stop for a little break and when I entered the rest stop I encountered approx a dozen people and ten of them worked there. No one and I mean no one smiled or spoke at all. Am I the only person on this planet who is thankful that I woke up today?
Back in my car continuing on my journey so then when I get into the city during rush hour there is obviously going to be traffic. I know this and would assume that the people in this town know this also but maybe not since everyone appeared to be surprised or annoyed that there was traffic. Also don't even think about trying to allow anyone to merge in front of you because seriously if you give up that 1 inch of space you would be so much further behind in traffic right? I decide not to add to the rampant road rage and I eventually make it to my hotel. I check in and settle into my room. Log on to check emails, facebook, twitter, linked in etc. Why do I find people arguing on linked in about authors posting their facebook pages so that other author can like them? People talking about the moral implications of this practice etc. Seriously people? It's facebook and just because someone asks you to like their page doesn't mean you really have to. Anyway it was one of those days where I just needed to vent a little bit about some of the things I saw happening in the world today. I think I am going to throw myself into my fantasy world with my made up characters and I am going to write about how people should interact with one another. Peace, love and blessings to all.
