color me retarded...but i don't get it...
last monday all the dishes in the office kitchen disappeared. no explanation was given, but i assumed it was because 'people' hadn't been cleaning up afterthemselves, so management decided to teach 'us' a 'lesson.' when i asked questions of my superiors (in person and in email) i was blatantly ignored. this sucked, because i relied on those random mismatched plates and spoons daily.
i'm very loyal to my company and endure lots of crap daily but still give my 100%. i got pissed. because the dishes were gone. because there was no explanation. because i felt like i was 10 again and being punished for something i didn't do.
magically the dishes appeared the next day. the tirade subsided.
today in our staff meeting the president of the company gets up and yaks about the whole dish incident. his spin is that its all about respect and perspective. that the people leaving dirty dishes were disrespecting those who washed dishes, and that if we were pissed about the dishes being gone we needed some perspective in our lives. go help the red cross or the heart association if you want to be bitched up about something he says.
quite the hypocritical statement i say. i feel like i was disrespected. goes both ways buddy. you disrespected me when you ganked my eating utensils. one of the spoons in that drawer is my property. what right do you have to take it?
secondly, i just spent $50 sending a care package to guys in Iraq. don't know any of them, but i was just trying to do something. how dare you accuse me of needing perspective? like you've never gotten bitched up about some stupid situation you're in.
the world would be a much nicer place if every time i got frozen inside my car i could remember to say 'well jeez, at least i'm not dying of cancer.' and everytime my cat puked on my bad i could think 'guess i'm lucky, at least i have an apartment with heat.'
let's be reasonable here. i'm not mother theresa. but to accuse me of not having perspective, because i got pissed off and voiced my opinion about something you did that was lame?
let me also note that this whole speech was directed towards the entire company, not just me. i'm taking it pretty personally because i was one of 4 or 5 people out of the 35 that was most vocal about it.
but you know what, i don't take any of it back. i wash my dishes. i work hard. i voiced my opinion. and if you don't like it, you can eat it. =)

I will tell you the sorrows of what happened with me and the girl when I am not being stared at by a white cat
On a separate note...I saw a lil yellow mini today with the license plate "OAMINI" and I laughed and thought of you and how proud you are of yours!
