"Clever" vanity plates?

On my way home today I was cut off by a lovely gentleman who turned on his blinker after he squeezed in front of me which caused me to get annoyed but the annoyance passed as I got up closely behind him at the light & saw his license plate which read NRICO but the clever lad ordered an Eastern Michigan University license plate so it would read ENRICO...smart right?  Well, it might have been if the plate weren't covered by a Wayne State license plate plastic cover thingy.  It just kills me how people think they are being all smart by using college license plates to help them make their vanity plate!  Perhaps if they actually went to college & got a degree they would know that not only are vanity plates dumb but it doesn't sound very smart when someone says "oh, you went to Eastern?" and your dumb ass says "no...see, I used the E to spell my name".  I see this all the time with the Michigan State plates too, people use the S & then make a word off of it...these are not building blocks people, they say "hey, I went to school here" so if you didn't go to school there then please stop ordering their license plates.  Actually, I think if you want a school plate you should be required to prove that you were at least at some point a student or employee there!  I mean, you have to prove you are a veteran to get a veteran plate don't you?  Also, just so you know I did try to get a pic of Nrico's plate but my windshield was so dirty you can't see it, sorry but I tried!
 

Peeve O' The Day

So I get up to go to the bathroom & grab a cup of coffee & when I return there is a file folder in my chair, this is the 3rd time in 2 weeks this has happened. There are 6 clearly labeled inboxes in my cube & my chair is not one of them! I don't understand how someone thinks that placing work in the inbox for my ass is going to get their work done. What if I hadn't seen it? I could be sitting on the folder for days on end & then they would come to me & say did you ever get to that stuff I left for you? I would respond "what stuff"? "The stuff I left in your chair last week". I would look at them puzzled and then stand up & say "oh my God jack ass I never even saw this sitting here"!!! Maybe I should do that...what do you think?

Jewled Mayhem

Ok so I wanted to take a moment to complain about something, shocker eh? So about a month ago I was about to take part in the jewelry sales racket and I was put in touch with a woman (Laura) who is a manger in my area & she would be the person to train me, help me, the whole 9 and lucky for me she lived less than a mile away. So in the process of setting up my first party & all that she was very lax about responding to e-mail which is my preferred way to communicate so it was a bit annoying but we got through it and all worked out just fine. Well, my girl Wendy booked a party with me & when I got my sideways promotion at work I no longer needed to sell the jewelry so I let Laura know that I was no longer interested & that she needed to either do the parties I booked or get someone to them because I wasn't going to do them. So Wendy is like me, when she demands something she expects the fulfillment within 24-48 hours so she e-mailed Laura to ask questions & it took like a week to get a response. Wendy called Laura only to find her phone had been shut off so she emailed her again. Now Laura was very specific about the fact that invites go out 2 weeks before the show & always keep in close contact with your upcoming hosts, well obviously she doesn't take her own advice. Wendy's party is tonight & let me just tell you that she had a pretty large guest list of like 20 & guess who is going? Me! The invites weren't received until Monday & half of them never went out!!! What kind of shit is that? I'm sorry but that is no way to run a freaking business. Basically, if you are having a jewelry party don't have Laura host it...I know someone else who will return phone calls & emails & isn't too busy doing other things to keep a handle on her business. That's just so annoying when someone tells you how it MUST be & they don't follow those same rules. Tonight should be interesting...I'm getting drunk so I may end up telling her just what she can do with her jewels

Get off the Damn Phone!

You know, at the risk of sounding like my mother I am so sick of people on cell phones while they are driving. It always seems that when I get stuck behind that tool that is going 5 under the speed limit they are on the effing phone. I usually pass them & give them a dirty look as I do, very mature I know but it’s a serious peeve of mine. Very rarely do I take or make a phone call while driving but when I do, I keep it short & I keep my eyes on my speed instead of just looking blankly out the window. So my biggest thing is who in the hell needs to be on the phone in their car at 7:30 in the morning? Nothing is so important at that time of day that it can’t wait until you are out of your car. This is morning rush hour & the speed limit is 40 & you are going 38 while all lanes around you are going 50…get off the effing phone & pay attention before I run your sorry ass off the road. I happen to know people that I will not name who can barely drive with the radio off & no distractions at all who will talk on the phone while driving. Guess what I do if I’m in the car? First I hold on for dear life & B I backseat drive & note every light, nearing vehicle, pedestrian, animal…I do this when they aren’t on the phone so imagine how I am when they are on the phone. Personally, if you have an emergency & need to make a call then pull over otherwise, wait the 10 minutes until you get to your destination & make the call then. They do make these neat Bluetooth things and systems where you can talk on your phone through your radio so really, there is no need to be physically on the phone when you are driving, ever. And one more note to those of you who are guilty of the following (not naming names) stop texting while you are driving, not only can I not read the message because everything is spelled wrong but you might spill your drink ;) Just kidding!

Peeve O' The Day

What is with people? You sneeze, I say "bless you", and you say....nothing! That is so freaking rude & it's also rude when the person next to you sneezes & you don't say bless you. So, to those around me who don't bless me I will never bless you again either, you get what you give! As usual, I'll just go back to blessing myself, I do everything else for myself so I'll just add it to the list.
