• I know why postal workers shoot up their offices

  I had one of those moments this morning at work where I was *this close* to screaming "fuck you!" to anyone who could hear it and storming out. Sometimes the bureaucratic, senseless, backwards, wasteful, and STUPID policies at work make me want to go postal. Working for state government can be a living nightmare. I'm the type of person who is organized, strategic, and endlessly finds ways to make things more efficient. State government is the opposite of that. It's always "we can't because...," "policy dictates that we...," "just do it  so you don't rock the boat or stir up office politics...," and "pick your battles; in the grand scheme of things, this is not a big deal...". The amount of wasted time, money, and resources that go into some of these asinine policies (or preferences on the part of people who won't change and use technology to make things better) makes me go from 0 to furious in about 2 seconds.

  Counting to 20 and trying not to let my anger at something that is not going to change ruin a Friday and raise my blood pressure.

  GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!

  I seriously cannot wait to be done with school and working at a job where this kind of fuckery is not constantly going on. Better yet? Being my own boss. One sweet, sweet day...
