On topic: Valentine's Day. Or as it should be called, singles' awareness day. If you seriously need a special calendar holiday to remind yourself to express devotion to your partner, then there's something seriously wrong with your relationship. It's a stupid fucking Hallmark holiday that exists solely to funnel money into the coffers of vacuous corporations.
I disagree.
Due to society today, people shy away from showing how much they care, and from acting upon it. People don't say 'I love you' enough, be it to a partner or to a loved one. Sure, It's bad that we are in a position where we need a holiday to reaffirm things like this, but at the end of the day we do. Buying a card, like any other holiday, is a silly thing yes (I still don't get why people do this on all the holidays) but everything else is a good thing. Some of us are single on valentines day. So what? We should do ourselves a favor and show somebody we give a damn.

I agree with your post Aaron, but the last part I also did not agree with. I don't have a problem with Vday single or not - If I'm single I'm still going to be single any other day, I'm still going to be bitter I'm alone any other day. And if I'm with someone I'm going to want to do something extra for them, because Vday is like a day where... you can spend a little extra money and time on someone. Some people have work, problems, busy lives, and can get lost in that. I think something like Valentine's Day could be that time where you set aside some special time with the hectic way life is sometimes. xD Plus, you can't constantly spend tons of money on someone unless you're rich and let's face it... none of us are. :monster: Also, who says you can't spend it with friends? :3 EATING ICECREAM AND BEING FOREVER ALONE WITH YOUR ALSO FOREVER ALONE FRIENDS CAN BE A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE. And if you think it's corporations wanting money, well don't buy anything then. Make a card, it's sweet. ♥

I love when you're going through some seriously bad shit, and people that you barely know take more interest and show more concern for your well-being than some of the people in your life that say they care.

It just...really puts things in perspective. And we know how much I love perspective.


I also think I left my heater on when I left this morning =/

That's a problem with society then. I've never had a problem showing that I gave a damn when I actually did give a damn, and I'm borderline autistic so if I can do it anyone should be able to do it. If you're in love with someone, and you're not telling them that on a regular basis (by regular I mean at least daily), not to mention doing other things to make it readily apparent, then there's something pretty fucked up. People shouldn't take each other for granted and the fact that there needs to be a holiday to get people to be affectionate with one another is symptomatic of deeper problems in our culture.

My Mom saying that she doesn't have a problem with homosexuals, but I was watching Moulin Rouge on a channel and the commercials were appealing towards gay couples. Showing gay couples and their stories, and she said:
"What is this gay TV? What's wrong with these homos?"

Seriously...?

Reminds me of a person I met on Tumblr who lives 5,000 miles from her gf and they can't move out and get married because of the people in their lives stopping them, and the fact they aren't allowed to get married most places... it really breaks my heart.

One of my coworkers can and does frequently show up late/leave early/skip work entirely, and still gets paid for the time she isn't even there while an outpatient does her job for her. I, on the other hand, who shows up and does my own work, once got yelled and cursed at by the boss for burning a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches out of a pile of 60. It must be nice to be the big boss' former roomie and the secondary boss' mother. I can't stand the hypocrisy FUUUU

I think Tiff mentioned it before, but pretty much if it bothers you then ignore it. If you deviate from the path society takes anyway, you can deviate from this much easier.

You know what, I didn't blow off enough steam with my last post. I must bitch more to prevent losing my... not sanity but whatever I do have. Let's go with equilibrium. The following is a list of work related issues I am pissed about, not including the hypocrisy and unpaid mandatory meetings already discussed previously.

1.) My equipment is decrepit and old, yet I am expected to turn out high quality meals with it.
2.) Little to no funding is given to the kitchen. We are constantly running out of important stuff like milk and sugar during the weekend and I am often given some of the crappiest stuff to cook so the week shift can have the good stuff.
3.) My sinks have been busted for four months. No effort has been made to fix them.
4.) The boss is such a die-hard anti-smoker that current policy for smokers (everyone else, nearly) is that we must get in our cars, and DRIVE AWAY from work to take a smoke break.
5.) I have all the responsibilities of a manager, with 0 actual authority with which to see that said responsibilities are actually met. I cannot force people to do their jobs if I have neither a carrot nor a stick!
6.) I am currently being hounded about the clients not having enough time to finish their meals. I did not make the schedule with its time limits on each group that eats, nor the state freaking laws that require those limits. I already do everything I can to get them in and done on time, I cannot help it if those who are assigned to work in the kitchen are as slow as old people sex and therefore short themselves on time to eat.
7.) If for some reason I miss a day of work, the things that are supposed to be done that day WILL NOT BE DONE, despite a full checklist of these things being left on the counter. Thus I had to do this week's cleaning and an assload of last week's today.
8.) The place is so infested with mice that clients (and myself) are sometimes required to step on one to get rid of it. Despite this, the only action taken so far was to buy a pack of mouse traps to set out. After six requests for such from me alone. No sign of my recommendation that they get in touch with an actual exterminator.
9.) There is a plague of black mold growing in the kitchen ceiling. No action is being taken as of this time, even though it is growing so fast new spores appear on the dining room windows every day.
10.) There are sometimes children at the center with their moms. This would actually be one in the plus column for me, cause I love kids, except their mothers, being addicts in treatment, often suck balls at parenting and I get really frazzled keeping them in the dining room and away from the hot as fuck oven/grill/deep fryer/etc and the drawers full of knives.

Ok, ten is a good number to stop at, otherwise we'll have an entire thread worth of me counting the ways I hate where I work. Thank you all for letting me blow off some steam before I lose it and set fire to the place.

War criminals and their books. Every time I see Tony Blair, George Bush, Karl Rove or Donald Rumsfeld's memoirs I want to punch someone, and I'm pretty sure I'll feel even more disgusted when Cheney's come out. I'm pretty sure I'll feel the same way when Obama releases his memoirs about his presidency, unless he radically alters his foreign policy going forward. All these people should be in prison for international crimes, not making absurd amounts of money issuing apologetics for their crimes.

>_> when someone just randomly enters my room, TALKS RANDOMLY LOUD.. while I'm in the middle of recording something, SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HECK.
 
My aunt coming over, looking in my room at my bookshelves, and saying "oh that's cute so you're still 3?"

My bookshelves are like any other nerds. Besides books and dvds and games there's also action figures and some plushies.

fuck you this is why I'm not going to come downstairs and hang out with you. Also, 3 year olds aren't allowed to play with half this stuff cause of small parts. :awesome:

I see a cute girl on the streets of Hong Kong every 20 seconds and I'm the sort of person who wouldnt get a second glance.

I'd be okay with being ugly if there weren't so many beautiful people around me :awesome:

Some Ozzie chicks are well worth looking at too, though, :awesome:.

Also, only a small fraction of asians can be considered cute if you have a western taste in wommenz, and they don't age well imho.

Of course, not many women do, :monster:.

I saw a book in Waterstones called Twilight and philosophy. It had a subtitle with 'vampire', 'vegetarian' and other vords beginning vith 'v'.

...I have lost faith in the human race.

We are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die. Show me that chiselled jaw. C'mon! :D

Incidently, I agree with everything said here about Valentine's Day. Despite the fact that much of it is contradictory. :awesome:
