Warning: Rant!!

This comes from my friend Flaura again. Man, she has a lot of crap to deal with.

Today, someone actually said to me, "we need to go to remedial proof reading class" meaning like me and him, but mostly me. Of course he was joking around, but of course it was still totally unnecessary to phrase it that way. He could have just said, "our old address is still on this document"...isn't that a tad nicer? Or like, "oh I didn't notice that the old address was still here either but would you mind changing it?" Again, nicer.

Yesterday, I was printing out important things at the Only color printer. As I was waiting for them and organizing and stapling, some guy actually says "Come on now, is this all one person's stuff, is this yours still going?" It had been a total of 4 minutes, you know how I know? It says it on the freaking machine. You know why this really sucked, 2 other people were standing there also not knowing if he was teasing and kidding around or being serious. We all stood there uncomfortably, and then I met the eyes of someone I'm friendly with and I gave him the "WHAT THE MOTHER F" face. He died laughing, and then I grabbed all the papers that had taken a whole 4 minutes to print and left that black hole of: What the Flying F.

My advice to my friend would be to get a new job, OMG. But I would also say that Flaura, you're lucky to have a nice job right now. So hang in there kiddo! Go get yourself a Starbucks tomorrow to make the morning a bit more bearable.
