save me a spot in the line up to hell

I am sure I am going to hell for this but whatevah. READ HERE

If you are 86 and some MALE calls you claiming to be your grandkid and says he needs 10K b/c he is in jail or whatever and you assume its your grandkid (who never calls) simply b/c he is "soft spoken"...and you take 10K off your VISA and send it to him: YOU ARE AN IDIOT and you should have to pay it all back. Stupidity is not a get outta jail free card lady. You made a very costly mistake...you are embraassed and feel stupid - as you should - it was stupid. But refusing to pay? Are u fucking kidding me? Why b/c you are dumb and made a stupid choice? Gimme a break. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Can anyone imagine sending money of that amount to someone without probing the shit out of the person and verifying it all to be true, grandkid or not? (I am not defending bank greed either, we all know banks are dirty effers)

I am about to get raked over the coals on the CBC comment section over this one and I do not even care...that old lady should have to pay it back - shes lucky they waived the interest 4 her...if the bank caves and forgives it they are fucking retarded and setting themselves up for all sorts of new fraud.

I spent 5 yrs working at Money Mart...refusing to send old ppls money to Nigeria even while they had hissy fits in the the lobby saying they knew the person personally and it was for a charity, LIEING through their teeth and blah blah blah...old ppl are NOT immune to common sense...this shit is just stupid.

Someone raised a good point...if a 30 yr old got duped and did this people wouldnt feel near as bad for the person and likely wouldnt expect it be forgiven...HELLO AGEISM!!!! If it is expected old ppl cant deal with their $ properly or make sound logical decision then why do we expect that they can vote? Drive? Have a say in anything? You cant have it both ways...

JERKS!

Half a day is gone already and fairly quickly. Love it. No word on the *suitability interview* as of yet...makes me nervous...mainly b/c everything around here is so poorly run.

I ate a burrito and cottage cheese/salsa for lunch and it was DIVINE! Ayla is still sick and went to school this AM but was home before noon feeling like crap.

In counselling, one of the most valuable things I learned was being mindful. I think some ppl are naturally good at this so it may not seem like a big deal but when you are of the personality type where you have become accustomed to just reacting and not really taking the time to examine what it is you are reacting to it is quite a feat! Being so intensely emotional makes mindfulness a challenge but also once you get a groove for it quite useful in examining your own behaviour and regulating responses to certain things.

I continually find myself intrigued by how I react to things...events, things people say, things people do...and how often the reaction isn’t about that particular thing at all but rather about other *stuff* that is unrelated yet somehow connected in my psyche. Blah Blah Blah

Oh I just had a rant of epic proportions...this place is so RETARDED! I got a snitty email reply from someone going on about how in order to get *system bugs* dealt with you must go through your team lead and then they do this and that and blahblahblah...only there’s no F-ing team lead in this effing unit and even when BUG REPORTS are filed out u m-f’ers don’t ever deal with them or get back to us about it so WTF IS THE POINT?!?!?!?! Pardon fucking me for trying to expedite a problem rather than waiting a week for a team lead to be around....eat my ass. Bunch of twats.

I hate everyone. Almost.
