Site Of The Day

I find myself spending way too much time at Best And Worst lately, a web site filled with user added polls about anything you can imagine. Here are a few random polls, just for an example of what you can find on a day to day basis:

4074. Can god make so big stone that he cant lift it

13958.Is George W. Bush the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, the return of our lord?

10202. Should the U.S. nuke Canada for exporting a diseased cow to America? Next, they'll try it with their SARS!

20002. Why aren't migets bigger

12259.(George W. Bush only) Shouldn't you be taking your pills now?

17650.If Spongebob was real, Would you do him?

7639. Is it illegal to make fun of someone on the net?

2388. If you had a choice of which dog could sniff your ass, which would it be?

16954. if you were stranded on a desert island with George W Bush, Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake & a gun with only one bullet, who would you shoot?

The one below here, without any doubt at all, is my personal favorite, I have no clue what someone was thinking when they posted it, or if they were thinking at all, but I busted out laughing when I read it.

5784.Why the crap is there a GIANT SQUID on top of my house?!?!?!!!

What is sort of crazy is the obsession everyone has with George W. Bush, for fun, enter his name into the search area on the page to find polls with his name in them, as you can see I added a few of them above. Some are very funny. And if you are looking at any of the polls, always check out the other polls listed on the right, you will find yourself hooked to this ridiculous site in short order!!

The Passion Of Hypocrisy

I have yet to see the film "The Passion of Christ", but from what I have heard it is an epic film, extremely realistic and follows elements of the New Testament from the Bible pretty closely. What just boggles the mind is how many Jewish people are attacking this film. They lash out at the film, saying it puts Jews in a bad light.

It's completely hypocritical of them to do so. Just how many movies have been about the Holocaust during WWII, or had the Holocaust as some integral part of the film? Dozens at least, possibly hundreds. I doubt you will find even ONE of these films portraying the Germans as benevolent, wonderful people with admirable character. Yet you don't hear them bitching and whining about those movies. Why??? Because they KNOW the way they treated the Jews and many other groups of people during WWII was deplorable.

The same can be said for the Jesus' treatment by the Jews, as accounted for in the Bible. There are literally hundreds of millions of people around the world who subscribe to the teachings found within the Bible as historical truth, plus the New Testament in the Bible is told from several points of view, hence the names of the Books, Luke, John, Matthew, etc, and those books corroborate one another for the most part. So why are Jewish leaders being hypocritical about this particular movie, saying that it portrays Jews in a bad light?

Mel Gibson said quite plainly that the movie was going to follow, to the best of his abilities to make it do so, the story as told in the Bible. In the Bible, the Romans ask the Jewish people if Jesus should be spared, to which there was a vehement negative response. The Jewish people spat at Jesus, tore at his hair and clothing, and called for his death. Yet as the story is told, a full 2000 years after the death of Jesus Christ, Jewish leaders are having a fit over what happened, way back then? Give me a break.

Nearly every religion, race, creed, etc, can point to a difficult period in which terrible misdeeds can be attributed to them, cripes, it is what about half of all movies are about in some form or another, the horrible injustice towards someone by someone else. You don't hear the British screaming about "The Patriot" movie, or the Russians having a shit-fit over "The Hunt For Red October", do you? No you don't, yet Jewish leaders believe they should be given preferential treatment??? For WHAT???

If you don't believe the Bible to be a fairy tale, something to remember is this: most movies are based on fiction, even those that fault a particular group of people may have a truthful plot, but in the end need a LOT of filler material to keep the movie going ("Pear Harbor" anyone?).

Something Jewish people need to realize, hell, something we all need to realize... no one is perfect, everyone has had faults, either by themselves or their ancestry, it's how you live today that judges who you are, and by sniveling and whining about something that in all likelihood actually happened in your past, you do nothing more than expose yourselves as shallow contemptuous characters in the present.

HIRE ME PLEASE!!

I try to remember that, regardless of where I'm working at, it's important to "like the job I'm doing" rather than "do the job I like." With that thought in mind I find ways to make my job enjoyable, regardless of what company I'm working for or what I do for that company. This has always served me well with the military, especially as I gained rank. I realized the importance of what we are doing, the big picture that is, and also how my actions as a key leader within my unit can affect the attitude of everyone within the unit.

But dang, my civilian job sure makes it had to do that sometimes. Let me give you a run down... I make hardly anything at the job I'm doing, sure it's above minimum wage, but it isn't enough to live comfortably, it's hardly enough to just scrape by. The general manager for our location never spends a dime on anyone, you know how the boss in most places will buy donuts on friday, or bring in pizza during inventory or on special occasions, perhaps recognize you on your birthday, maybe even let you get a half day off with pay?

Well... not at my job. Not only does our general manager never buy anything for anyone, he works his ass off finding ways to make things as uncomfortable as possible for us. Take one of the guys we work with, he started 2 years ago, and every year you are supposed to get a raise, but for the last 4 years or so our company has had a 'screw the employee bonanza', otherwise known as a 'wage freeze', so he hasn't gotten a single raise, so odds are that I won't either. Every 180 days without an accident, we get a pizza party!!! YAHHH!! Wait, that's just what the sign says. I believe we are up to 550 some odd days without an accident now, with no pizza ever, HOORAY!!

So anyways, our crew, as it was last year, 2003, from March when I and another guy started, till the end of the year, consisted of the warehouse manager (different from general manager), warehouse supervisor (under the manager), 4 warehouse workers/drivers, 1 daytime driver for the 'north route' and then 3 drivers that arrive around 5pm to drive the 3 night routes.

Well, one night driver was fired in November after several incidents involving costly accidents with company vehicles, he was replaced with an installer from the shop (we have a shop at our location). He was quite annoying, I mean, he meant well but my god he never shut up, about anything. Then our warehouse manager has surgery to repair his foot and has to be in a wheelchair, so he becomes useless in way of pulling parts. After that, one of the 4 warehouse workers quits. And oh, wouldn't you believe it? The general manager tells us that we can't hire anyone to replace him until April. Now one of the other workers has a hurt hand, he seems to always have something wrong with him that keeps him in 'light duty' status per doctors orders. He brought in an excuse that says it will be that way until next week. Not that it's any different from the way he normally is, as in, irritatingly lazy. He was on vacation today and, oddly enough, we didn't even notice he was gone.

So, the night driver that replaced the one who was fired, well, he quits. Now we have a female night driver, and that's okay, except, to be honest, she's just not tall enough to keep up with putting windshields on and off the big trucks, and I have a feeling she won't last very long because of that. Add to that the warehouse supervisor tends to drink too much (just got his license back as a matter of fact) and he was late like 5 times over a month long period, not just a few minutes late, I'm talking about a half hour to an hour and a half late... the last time I thought he was going to get fired, thank god he didn't because he's the most knowledgeable person in terms of where locations are in our warehouse for parts and stuff.

You can see that this basically qualifies for a 'dead end job' as the term goes. I have no upward mobility, no job security, hell, the medical insurance is even terrible. I could go on and on about this, but I think you get the picture. Anyways, anyone hiring? I only need roughly 30 grand a year to be happy, come on, it's not that much money!!! HIRE ME!!! PLEASE!!!!
