My issues with people who do not have their shit together.

I am by no means perfect. Hell, I am the definition of imperfection. Yet in all of my hogwash of nonsense I still seem to have my life together. I make sure I get to work early and get my work done perfectly. I pay all my bills before they are due and make sure that I have enough money to cover each expense. I have a small nest egg, so that if God forbid, my boss comes to her senses and fires me I will still be able to foot my bills while looking for a new job. With that being said, I find it extremely difficult and very aggravating that I work with people who do not have their lives together and I have to deal with these people as colleagues and customers.

Each month I am stuck having conversations with grown ass people who either do not know when their rent is due or do not have enough money to cover the checks they write for said rent. Then I am stuck in this merry go round of, "well I paid on time but the check hit before my paycheck cleared and blibidy blabady doo..." I do not care why your check bounced, I just care that it did and you should care that I am about to file a failure to pay rent suit on your ass. These grown ass individuals act like it is my job to figure out how to make their lives easier, nope...it is not. I am childless for a reason, I will not be adopting your overgrown dumbass; figure it out yourself. The worst part of this whole scenario though is when their parents call because Beavis and Butthead went and cried to mommy and daddy about their bounced rent check and subsequent fees. Guess what?? I am not talking to your mommy either, I"ll be damned if I will be answering stupid ass questions because neither you nor your obviously delusional parents know how to live in the real world.

Do not get me started on my "colleagues", I use this term lightly because at most they are people I work in the same building with, who always whine about how stressful their job is or how they cannot pay their bills. Wench maybe if you did not spend all your money eating out you would not be writing bad checks all over town. I do not feel bad for you and I have no words of wisdom for you either. Get your life together before you end up getting evicted and having to live in your car. I swear I wonder how some of these people are still alive.

So far this year....

I have tried to stay on track with a few of my goals. I am working on my attitude and although I am failing daily, I am determined to stick to trying to have a better attitude in general. I have reined in my overeating and in the last few months I have stayed on track with my eating habits; and in the past couple of months I have lost over half of the 42 lbs I regained last year. 

I have not traveled as much as I was supposed to, I took a day trip to New Jersey and I am planning a longer trip to Vegas in December. I have not purchased my bike yet, but I plan to and I did not get to volunteer like I hoped I would. Instead I got a part time job that keeps me up until 4 a.m. most weekends, I work at a gay nightclub, and for the most part it is very enjoyable and entertaining and it does not really mess up my weekend like a regular day time part time job would have.

I have never been a person who liked going out let alone going clubbing, so the fact that I now work at a nightclub is very ironic to say the least. The beauty of my situation though is I am a people watcher, I love to observe people and see how they react in different situations and I can find the comedy in anything and everything that I witness on a day to day basis. Since I work at the box office, I have limited interactions with people, but please believe that those interactions, short as they may be, can be very entertaining. I do not know how long I will last at this place, my new found zeal for working out makes me wish I had my weekends to myself, so if I feel like this job is taking a toll on me, I will drop it like a bad habit. For now though, I am enjoying my situation and making the best of this experience.
