Why Can't It Just Be Simple

Can someone just please do what I ask them to? I ask for one of our maintenance guys to get a box so I can load '07 paperwork into it for storage. He's done nothing but sit back in my section talking for the last hour, it wasn't going to hurt anyone if he did it. Yet the person he asked said I have to personally come up and ask her for the box and that I'm not allowed to make requests like this of others.

This is BS. I was assigned to be a work coordinator by my supervisor, no maintenance is not where I'm assigned but since his designated coordinator was out and we both share the same supervisor, who was also out, why can't I make this simple request? Oh wait I know why not, because some stupid woman just can't let anyone else make a decision, she's the only one. If she thinks I'm going to go up and ask her for a records box, she's out of her mind.

And even though the maintenance guy said he tried his best to get the box, I'm aware of what really went down. He told her that he told me that I had to do it but that I demanded it of him. You should never lie to someone when you know someone I have contact with throughout the day is sitting right in front of you to hear the whole thing.

This coordinator thing is not working with anyone. The other lab tech working with me doesn't believe I have the authority to do anything either. I tell her something, she argues, I eventually give up. Nine out of ten times the situations with her ends up with her screwing something up and telling me that she should have listened to me because I was right.

Why not start with that fact, I am usually right. I've been doing this job for three years and I know what the heck is going on. So why not listen to me at the start.

Life would be so much simpler if everyone would just listen.

Why TV? Why?

Oh great television why do you give us false hopes and dreams. There are so many different tangents to go off on here it's not funny. But I only want to focus on the biggest lie television spreads; Fat men with beautiful women.

In real life beautiful women don't end up with fat men, with the exception of the rich fat men. But if you watch TV, and we all do, you will see most shows have these gorgeous women with fat men; none of which are rich, and in most shows the male has some sort of mild retardation.

The Simpsons, Family Guy, According To Jim, and King Of Queens are just a few and most popular of the shows that portrays this terrible lie.

What upsets me about this lie is that when I was at 225 lbs. I was blown off by just under fifty women, and not all of them were super model quality. Even now at 175 lbs. I've had women blow me off telling me that I don't stand a chance with them. I guess I could always blame it on the fact that I'm not rich, but if TV was right then that wouldn't matter. Though maybe I am really too smart for my own good, maybe I need to become an idiot on top of being fat. That maybe where I went wrong.

Either way if TV was right and any fat man could get any beautiful woman that they desired, there wouldn't be single fat men.

Life truly isn't fair and remember not to believe everything you see on TV.
