Tuesday Hatred: A promising career as a data entry facilitation specialist!
I hate that every company in the world seems to have a link on its website for "careers." Not "jobs," but "careers." Do they even still do careers anymore? Even top executives can't seem to hold down a job nowadays -- they gouge and defraud a company faithfully for a couple years, then move on to the next pasture. I hate that researching fast food restaurants has given me a serious craving for a hamburger, specifically, the kind of hamburger I got at Steak and Shake on my drive through the desert wastes of western Michigan. I initially was thinking Fuddrucker's, but I don't think their buns are really that great.I hate that so many people from the desert wastes of western Michigan seem to be so proud of coming from said desert wastes -- I've heard that the same is true of all Michigan people, and if so, perhaps I just don't notice it in people from my own region, or else the Flint area is a special case. I am not a fan of any kind of patriotism or strong identification with much of anything at all, though.
I hate that I'm most likely going to miss 24 most weeks, due to working Mondays. It's not very difficult to get it from BitTorrent, but there's always the risk that I'll accidentally stumble upon some plot information. I hate that they killed off Michelle but that Tony is still in critical condition. I hate President Whiny Little Short-Sighted Bitch (both on 24 and in real life).
I hate that I got a ticket for parking a truck in a residential area despite having my residential parking permit clearly displayed on my windshield. I'm sure that I can successfully appeal it, and it's only $25 if I can't, but it's still an annoyance I'd rather do without. I hate any situation that brings me into contact with the police.
I hate bars that are too loud, particularly when they are not dance-oriented. If it's clearly just the kind of place people go to hang out and talk, turn the damn music down (Street Side Cafe!).
