Georgia just frustrates me and annoys me. Granted, I live in Atlanta, which is not really living in the south, but still... I am surrounded by CROSSBURNERS... my personal name for white, conservative and southern...
My job is at the newspaper here in ATL, working in sales and marketing in circulation. I have to interact with some of the most Christy reason blinded idiots I have ever met on a daily basis.
For example....
I am doing my bit at a United way meeting and have a Dr. lecture me about Health care and if I am a Christian i.e. a good person, then I must agree with her. I just deconstructed her argument and then agreed that we operated from two different perspectives.
One of my managers was complaining about "those" people and how much they hated. A little digging and it was apparent that he was talking about Muslims in generalized and stereotypical ways. I pointed out to him that his favorite research guy , Hesham, was Muslim and a great person and religion only equaled politics in when some one's relative ideology was conservative. Fundamentalist and conservative Christians (i.e. Timothy McVeigh) and fundamentalist and conservative Muslims (KSM) equate the two as the same. Ideological proximity in our country taints the fiscal right with the bias of the moral right. I think he got it. I dunno.
My admin is a very fine looking young woman and has ink. We had a discussion when she can into my command chain on 11/1 about her art. We reviewed the dress code and business casual is the reg. There was no reference to tattoos or piercings. She starts showing the art on her upper arms and occasionally the art on her cleavage winks out. Her dresses are no more revealing than what the average account exec wears on a sales call. Anyhow, I've started taking drive-by shootings from the boomers in my peer group. She, "sends the wrong message" and "doesn't look professional." Fuck them. My admin kicks ass. I taught her contract review and she caught an error from legal that would have cost us $250m annualized. Pretty certain i would have caught it when I reviewed the contract, but I didn't have to... cause she rocks.
So I have had it with white southern cross burning boomer jackasses who wear God as their politics and believe the are anointed and blessed and can say whatever they want as a result.
Looking forward to watching them all fight for jobs at Walmart in 10 years cause they have done nothing to secure retirement and because they don't believe anybody should help anyone else outside of a church. Socialism is baaaaaaaaaaaad you know.
Aahhhhh, that little rant felt so good.
