Today was starting off to very boring. Let me give some back story before I begin. I organized training for staff members where I work and we had to hire an instructor for some of the classes we planned to offer. Today, I attended a Microsoft Access training class and the instructor seemed to be the typical computer nerd. Not to say that I’m not a computer nerd at heart but I don’t think I have the nerd image. Well at least I don’t think I do.
Anyways, I started to count how many times he said “Go ahead and…†As far as I’m concerned that is the most annoying way to start a sentence. He kept saying things like “go ahead and click that buttonâ€. That is so damn annoying. He should just say “click the button.†People who use that expression most think they seem smarter by utterly those three extra words before any sentence. When I’m considering instructor for the next round of training, I’m going to go ahead and not consider his annoying ass.He is probably going to find this post and not bring muffins for training classes anymore.
I know I’m a difficult person sometimes and believe me I can understand why someone would think that. I’m not the type of person who waits long to make a decision because I like to have a plan so I like to ask close-ended questions. When confronted with a question I give an appropriate close-ended answer like yes or no. I may come off as pushy when I do not receive the answer that I’m expecting. For example, I ask someone if they are going to someone’s house for a get together. I receive the answer of “I haven’t even thought about it yet.†That answer of course pisses me off and it really shouldn’t.
I just get the feeling that person is blowing me off and doesn’t have the balls to just say that he is not going because he is going somewhere else. That person might even call at the last minute and say they can go after they couldn’t find anything better to do. That always fucks up the plan. Again notice the word, “plan.†I’m not blaming anyone but just say yes or no. If I don’t know the answer, I simply say I don’t know and that I will get back to the person. It’s simple. Believe me I’m not trying be an asshole about that kind of thing but I will come off like an asshole when something this may happen.Next order of business, it really pisses me off that I’m not invited to the unnamed person’s Pig Roast/Wedding. The guy read in my wedding for Christ sakes. How can someone not even consider that in the equation? I’m sure the lame old answer to this question will be that we don’t talk anymore.
People who weren’t invited to the wedding are still going to play golf on Saturday and my name probably wasn’t even mentioned. I don’t play golf but it would have been nice to hear an invite. I’m a sensitive guy when it comes to friends. I don’t have many as it is and I’m sure the above paragraph is probably why. I feed that guy and his wife to be on my wedding day and he should at least return that favor. What an asshole! Everyone who is going is so excited about going but I wouldn’t be so excited about it considering that only a few in that group of friends are invited. I’m surprised people are going after he hasn’t talked to anyone in like a year. We have made the effort to talk and he doesn’t in return.
Maybe we all have grown but get it together, terrible friend. I’m just tried of thinking about it and I hope it is quite a celebration.Here is the weather report for the outdoor wedding on Saturday, May 14th. It’s a damn shame, too.
May 14th Scattered Showers 73 Degrees High/54 Degrees LowI’m sure the bride will be beautiful and probably wet.
I can understand if no one will want to call me after this post.
