I am unclaimed statement...

Grrrr.
Man, the work atmosphere can be an awfully frustrating one at times. And the longer I'm here, the more instances I see. A lot of the people here are great, and a blessing to work with. Yet some people here have the most enormous chip on their shoulders and they just refuse to unload it. There's this one guy who's so freakin highly opinionated that he comes off as a know-it-all jerk sometimes. He doesn't like taking orders from other people, so of course, he turns around and tells, or rather, "challenges" people to do things. And seriously, it comes off the wrong way because just now, someone from another dept asked if everything was going okay and if there was "beef." So now, the proverbial seeds of discord have been seemingly sown, and once that happens, people are gonna start thinking things and making assumptions and dadadada. I need to go talk to someone to smooth things out, it's freakin annoying. I mean, I've known this person for a while now. I've seen other instances. And the the weird part is, he's such a cool person when work is not involved...hmmm, I guess it always seems to be like that. But seriously learn how to communicate effectively man, it makes a world of difference. And people really need to stop thinking that they're better than other people...it's just not right, in all senses.
Have I already mentioned how much I love the rain? Well, I probably have, but here it is again, I love the rain!!!

Pros
-The air is so fresh and so clean clean after the rain. Things are more vivid, visually, the colors are more crisp because there's no particulates in the air btwn objects. No smog, you can breathe cleaner air.
-We get life-sustaining water to our plants and we can begin to recover from the drought as each storm passes
-EARLY snow season! WOOOHOOO
-The gym. When it rains, people are deterred from going to the gym, yours truly not included, he he he. But the gym is a lot emptier on rainy days, and you have access to pretty much any machine or weight or apparatus you want. It's great.

cons
-stepping in big ass puddles. Last night, when Cic dropped me off after we worked out, I stepped in the biggest puddle in my driveway. The kind when your whole shoe gets dunked in and your socks get soaking wet. I hate wet socks...I really do.
-Floods, those suck. Except that one time when UCI was flooded and people had inner tubes and were chillin and swimming and stuff. Gross, but pretty funny.
-Mudslides, they also suck

New Addictions
In all my business, I have forgot to mention my newfound Television(well, DVD in this case) addiction....ALIAS. Yes, that's right, I have become part of the alias cult. I was lookin for somethin to do while Cic was doin her homework last friday, and there it was, sitting on her roomates tv stand...the complete first season. Well, I popped in disc one, and I ended up watching 5 episodes the first night! And well, the rest is history...

I can't wait for this freakin work day to end already...I'm tempted to leave right now...but I still gotta try and finish as much as I can...
