    Here I am lamenting that the new place is located in an area that seems to be completely devoid of animals, and there's a fucking bobcat in my neighbor's backyard last week.

    I'm reckless and feelin' no pain
    You know I've got no need to control
    Livin' with the danger
    I'm always on the edge now
    With million dollar visions that I hold
    Livin' like this never ever tore my life apart
    I know how to maintain and you know I know my part

    We're sponsoring one of our client's conferences and agreed to it months ago. The Director of our office and other managers are all out of town that week and it's my client anyways so I was supposed to go and we just had a 5-minute slot to play a little video and sponsor their lunch or whatever.

    They call me Monday and go guess what - we're now giving you a half hour to talk because our team wants to hear more from our markets. My boss is like well I guess you're the one presenting Fuck me. I don't mind public speaking, but a little more than 4 days notice to prep a slide show and practice would've been fucking nice.

    I don't understand how the world works now. I really don't. There doesn't seem to be a consistent set of rules, mores, standards that drive behavior. Nothing makes sense to me.

    People NCNS for interviews, even first days of new jobs. Just call and say you changed your mind. Jesus fuck.
    I went to meet coworkers at their hotel during the free food and cocktails for guests. I'm not a guest, I shouldn't just steal free food nor drinks, but they didn't see it that way.
    The desk clerk was kind enough to find me a battery I needed. I later went to the store, replaced the battery, and gave her an extra to pay it forward. She acted like I was insane.
    We all read the stories and wonder what the fuck is going on with society, do we not?

    Maybe I'm just old, but there are rules. Or at least there used to be and should be. Otherwise, there's nothing.
    I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.

    I have a response to this, but I don't think many people would want to read it.

    Well, it's not a very long theory, but... society: a lot of people are turning their backs on believing in something greater than themselves, something they would have to answer to. In other words, God. Nobody wants to talk about it, but being brought up with a religious background puts morals and principles in your head. Atheists and agnostics would tell you that you could get those morals and principles without a religious upbringing, but look at where we're at. It's obviously not happening. People believe there are no consequences. They're brought up believing that. Now these people are getting elected and passing laws dumbing down the consequences for crime, because they don't believe in anything. Nobody's being taught manners. Nobody's being taught boundaries. Nobody's being taught to respect themselves and others. Because they don't believe there are consequences. They fear nothing.

    The NCNS issue is a lack of respect, a lack of appreciation. It's like not sending a thank you card, or at the very least, calling or texting the person who sent you a gift to say thank you for the gift you've received from them. It boils down to manners and entitlement.

    The coworkers thing: I don't know. Is it stealing if you're your coworkers' guest? Maybe they view it as them sharing what they've been given with you. If you feel that strongly about it, don't partake. That choice to partake was ultimately yours to begin with, right? Maybe you would feel differently about it if there were servers there that could refuse you, and didn't?

    The battery: You are insane. Sure, it was a nice gesture, but wouldn't a tip have been nicer? She went out of her way to serve you. She's in the service industry, so doing that sort of thing is part of her job. Or she may have gone further than she needed to, but maybe she takes pride in going that extra mile while she's working. Or maybe batteries have become standard fare in the service industry nowadays because of technology. As technology changes, so does everything else that the technology permeates.

    We deal with the NCNS bullshit all the time here. We actually have more NCNS's than we do have people that show up for either interviews or the job that they accepted. Three of the last four people that we "hired" never showed up for work or called at the last second and said they changed their mind.

    Man, my junk mail folder is loaded with political beggars, House and Senate politicians running for reelection. I'm not even sure any of these are legit.
