Annoying Newsroom Comment of the Day

"Okaaay, talk to me later!"
Loudmouth broad's way of saying 'I'm so cool, this is how I end conversations.'
When I snap, that corner of the room's getting it first.

Newsroom Quote Of The Day

"He's funny for all the wrong reasons."

G, Cadd9, Am, D

And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Of what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully

For now.

Annoying Newsroom Quote of the Day

"Alright, nobody talk to me until 5 o'clock."

It must be nice to be so important you can be a dick to your co-workers.
Co-workers that are working hard to make your dumb ass look good.

Annoying Newsroom Comment of the Day

"Daddy used to plant peanuts."
You're an adult, talk like one. He's not my daddy, don't talk about him like he is. I know this is a southern colloquialism, but that doesn't make talking like a retard ok.

Annoying Newsroom Quote of the Day

"My moral center is so different than everyone else's, I couldn't bear to eat cake."

It's the little things.

Sometimes the little bad things mount and seem like a big bad thing. Then the little good things add up and make the ride worth it. For a while, it felt like my bad days were outnumbering the good days. I know I have no reason to complain, I have more blessings than I deserve, but sometimes I still do. Then all of things little things pop up and restore the spirit. I look forward to those tiny blessings, and hope they come more often. I remember what Oscar says:

How fucking worldly.

Alex Takes A Stand



The boy's been fighting it for a long time now. But he decided it was time. I have no idea why he has no clothes on, and Abby has a jacket on. I swear we're not trailer park people. They don't have Kool-Aid stains in their face and have never watched wrestling.

"Hey Chas, why did you use Vimeo, rather than YouTube, like you usually do?"
Because YouTube, R.E.M., and Warner Bros. are all a bunch of dicks. I can't put a song to a video of my kid because a bunch of corporate bitches and overpaid pretentious rock stars are worried it'll take away from their bottom line. Congratulations douchebags, you've successfully protected an overrated band against a little kid. OH wait, the video still got online. Warner Bros. records and films still suck.

Snowmageddon!

What snow days are all about: Playing in the snow with the kiddos. We didn't play for long, it was too damn cold. I slid down a little hill in my backyard. Notherners are probably laughing at Atlanta's shitty snow response, but this is why we live in the south... so that we only have to deal with this bullshit once a year. I don't know why I felt the need to dress like a cross between Kenny McCormick and an Afghan woman.

Cynicism

If I say I don't like cynical people, does that make me a cynic?
I realize the world is not a series of rainbows, lollipops and unicorns, but things aren't that bad. Especially among the people I work with. I sit at my workstation that has Internet and cable, there's heat in winter and ac in summer, and up one flight of stairs are vending machines and clean restrooms. Down one flight of stairs is a food court and tourists who ask you about the cool job they think you have. The company pays well and has benefits among the best in the country. What could anyone have to bitch about? The answer: Everything.
I hear "The company this.. the company that...:" or "this person said this and that." Today I sat and listened to two people go on and on about how celebrities who help charities are assholes. Sure its all fake and stuff, but why the vitriol? It annoys me when people look at the shitty side of everything. "That asshole Santa Claus is probably jacking off to your family's pictures when he's bringing presents."
Things could be worse, much worse. There's no heavy lifting, we don't leave work smelling like grease and we're not paid in pennies. In this economy, we should be glad we have jobs at all. Sure I bitch about my job, etc., but if I told anyone about the pride I feel when I walk into work, they'd laugh at me. LAUGH HARD at me. Why is that wrong? I just hope other people's shit is not contagious. Is my ignorance bliss? I'm so not looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. My motto in life has always been "It's all about perspective." Why is a positive one the exception and not the rule?

"It's easier than trialing and erroring."

This from someone who works in the communications business. Jeez.
