Things I hate

1. cell phones

even though I have two of them

2. Instant Messenger (Yahoo or AOL or ICQ)

Isn't e-mail fast enough? I answer 60 bloody e-mails a freakin' day. My boss has been after me to install YIM. I've resisted. I'll resist until I get fired over the bloody issue. Enough is enough.

3. Breakfast meetings for work

I quit a job once because I was required to attend a couple of breakfast meetings. Look I'll get to work at 7:30 if I *HAVE* to. I will work many hours. I will work 60 hours weeks (on the short term) if I have to....

But I am NOT eating my blinkin' BREAKFAST with that rat-ugly bunch of malcontents that I have to see between 8 - 12 hours during the day. Forget it.

Hullo!

I would have to add working lunches to that. OK, if an emergency comes up that has to settled before that afternoon, but that's it. Even if I take my lunch at my desk, it doesn't mean I want to work. Lunches are MY time and are supposed to be a break from work.

I would say those who feel that their cell phone calls are more important than anything else.

Gee Alan, you really need to let loose and tell us how you REALLY feel about things!

**GMan** · 10th January 06, 02:53 PM

Mushrooms. I mean, they're fungus, right?

Athlete's foot is fungus. Jock itch is fungus. It is my position that, if fungus was food, we would not have medicines to get rid of it.

I always try to avoid mushrooms, but, occasionally in a restaurant I'll get mushrooms in a dish where I did not expect them. When the waitress asks if I need anything else, I say, "Yes. I'd like another beer and some tough-actin' Tinactin!"

In case you're wondering, I did, indeed create that rant. I have used it often and polished it over the years.

Mmmm...beeer. That's made with yeast right? What!? yeast is an infection?? Ooooooh Nooooo!

I hate those stupid car accessories like 'pop-can' exhausts and chassis lighting.

I hate the bad drivers that drive those cars with stupid accessories.

I hate rap "music?" that those bad drivers blast onto the street at all hours.
