Annoying

It really ticks me off when people abbreviate their words. ‘Nuff said.

Why can't we use the English language properly? I don't mean Queens English, just the proper American English that we butchered from the, well, English.

I'm going to get some of my pet peeves off of my chest, or I'll go bonkers, which might very well be one of yours.

"I could care less" means that you do care, to some degree. "I couldn't care less" would imply that you really don't care at all.

Suposably is not a word! Supposedly is! I once knew a guy who referred to the degree at which his tires might grip the road as "gription". Gription? Are you kidding me? How about traction?

I also knew a guy who would use the created word agreeance. I finally told him that we were in agreeance that agreeance is not a word. Did I mention that he was my boss? My friend, Kevin Wallace and I drove the guy crazy.

This boss had it coming. He was a jerk to all of the staff, including sexual harassment. The man didn't know how to conduct a meeting, so they were long and boring. On occasion, Kevin and I looked at each other and broke out in song with an impression of George Jones, singing "He stopped loving her today". The boss would get so angry.

The boss was an avid duck hunter and had several stuffed ducks in his office. Once, a manager put a cigarette in one of the ducks' bills. It was so funny, seeing that cigarette hanging from the duck. No one paid any attention to the content of the meeting. We were focused on the duck, waiting for the reaction of the boss when he finally noticed. He did, and was furious.

Now, the manager who pulled off the joke was never known to pull practical jokes, so Kevin and I took the fall. After all, we were guilty 99.9% of the time.

Wow, did I go off topic, or what? I don't care. I feel better, and I know Kevin reads this blog and is smiling, thinking of all of the things we did to that jerk.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to wash the dishes. I'm still trying to make up for a very bad Valentimes Day.

See you tomorrow.
