Please tell me you are kidding

Here is a quote from The Post and Courier in an article titled "Nobody Looks Like Me"

Black mentors are very important to black students, said senior Giovanni Richardson. "To be honest, we're more comfortable talking to someone who looks like us," she said.

Now I'm a white male so I knooow I have no perspective on anything - if you can't tell I'm rolling my eyes - but what if I said this same thing? That I was more comfortable learning from a white professor.

Now I'm all for diversity and I welcome all opinions, but come on! Until we start acting like race isn't an issue RACE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE. The African American community included.

Stop with the Jimmy-legs!

I realize it might be a bad habit. And I realize you probably do not even realize it, but PLEASE STOP WITH THE JIMMY-LEGS!! You are shaking the entire floor and my monitor shakes along with it. It's bad enough you stare at me every time you come back to your desk but now you have to be irritating without even trying.

Bravo, a$$hole. Bravo.

Miler Properties in Summerville

This has to be the one of the most disorganized, least customer friendly places in Summerville. Not only did they blatantly lie to my face about switching utilities out of my name, but they never called about my security deposit OR tried to work anything out with the home owner. They must think they can treat people this way because they are one of the bigger "players" in town. Keep treating customers like this and see how your business does. And top all this off with Beth being rude when I called to inquire.

Screw you Miler Properties! I hope your business dries up soon.

Turn the ringer off!

If you work in a place with no walls and there are other people trying to work around you THEN TURN OFF YOUR DAMN CELL PHONE RINGER. Now-a-days you can actually put phones on vibrate. Amazing, I know.

Quit being a selfish prick and turn your ringer off.

Know-it-all managers

You know who you are:
- The kind that never makes mistakes
- The kind that circumvents the rules and then wonders why your risks didn't pay off
- The kind that ridicules your team in a passive aggressive way
- The kind that will find yourself lonely because nobody - including your family - is good enough

I'm guessing this doesn't only happen in Charleston.
