A Frightening Verse

"Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for in the same way their fathers used to treat the false prophets."

Disappointment

Lately I have become overwhelmingly disappointed in friends and coworkers.

1. They don't do things they say they are going to do.
2. They are lazy and do as little as possible.
3. They bail on their responsibilities as well as others and leave them to suffer the consequences.
4. They waste their own time with worthless efforts which in turn affect those around them.
5. They don't make their other more critical obligations known in order for those around them to adjust and accommodate.
6. They do not ensure their own responsibilities are carried out in full.
   
7. They don't answer their phones nor do they return calls.
8. They make excuse after excuse after excuse after excuse, to the point of expectation.
9. They continue to bring themselves to a point where people can no longer depend on them and then they have to work themselves back into trusting relationships.
   
10. They only think of themselves.
11. They don't realize the consequences of their not doing something on others nor do they care.
12. They change the subject and escape to humor.
13. They seek approval in the masses at the loss and insult of others.
14. They chalk it up to "o well."
15. They just don't get the pattern that they are establishing with those around them.
    

They let me down consistently and I'm getting tired of it and I'm almost to the point where I'm not going to put up with it anymore.

COME ON PEOPLE! Step up! Do I need to hold your hand or what? THINK! DO!

What I do for a living...(example one)

Sometimes I write stuff like this...

Truck Mod

The greatest custom mod I could ever make to my truck.

A Painful Day

Today it physically pains me to be at work and listening to the conversations that are going on.
