One LONG RANT / Where has the common sense gone?

[lincpimp]

Right there with you Shaun...

I find that the more I look around, that I am the only person who pays any attention anymore, to anything.

I own a business, and have a few employees. Seems like they would rather look at an empty sky than pay attention to what they are doing. I try to make it interesting by randomly yelling at them, and making silly hats out of random objects like boxes. Even that does not work.

I have come to the realization that I am surrounded by mediocrity. Our society is currently breeding a crap load of people who have no accountability for their actions. I had to recently tell my employess that if they screw up anymore the repair costs are going to come out of their wages. That is about the only thing I can do, hit em where it hurts.

I do also enjoy cursing at people in other professions when they screw up. Not for little stuff, mainly customer service. I find getting loud and obnoxious is the only way for people to pay attention. Trying to be nice is like pushing water up a wall...

Nice to hear that others feel my pain too. I spent my entire monday sweating in my 90f plus office. The a/c fan smoked itself before I got to work, and it took us all day to find a replacement. I did not even bother to call an a/c repairman. You can imagine how well that would go...
