    Trust me, it really does work.
    Realist: A person who sees things as they truly are. A practical person. The pessimist complains about the wind; The optimist expects it to change; The realist adjusts the sails. — William Arthur Ward

    It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.

    When I was doing union nursing the union refused to discipline individuals who were slow and dumb as S***. When we complained about them the union chastised us for not supporting “our union brothers.” Seems like the less you know the less they ask you to do.

    Simple as this if you dont want to do it do a horrible job and you wont get asked again. On the other hand there are people who really just have no clue.

    I work for the Post office... There is no group of lazier sub-humans gathered together in a "work force" than here. I tell ya, it's odd being the only one that's not drunk at work/ shows up more often than not. It's odd bein the only white guy lol. And no, that's not to be racist just an observation. I worked in two other landscaping companies and a drug counselor at a SuperMax prison. So I'm ALWAYS the only white guy

    Yeah. When you’re responsible for people’s lives you shouldn’t be lazy and you should know what the hell you’re doing.
