I love mankind; it's people I can't stand.

I know when it’s PMS time, cause people just piss me off.

This morning I’m driving to work and no matter who I ended up behind they were not driving with the flow of traffic. Then when I’d change lanes to get out from behind them, they’d change into the same lane in front of me just as I was trying to get past them! Hello! Fucking idiot!

Then I finally turn off that street only to see there is a fire truck and a paramedic. Somebody on a bike got hit. They were all in the center median. So I see that it’s apparent that who ever got hit is being taken care of, no need to make sure the person is okay, you know. And what are the other people in front of me doing? Slowing down to looky-loo but of course, causing a back up of traffic that is unnecessary. I see there is a white car about 6 cars up that is causing the back up even more, cause there is no one in front of him, he’s just slowing down to be nosey. The lane that I was in is pretty long before you merge over into the right lane. This guy in the right lane was the one who was causing the back up, I had plenty of room to pass him before I merged over, so that is what I did. I sped up to pass him. Turns out it was one of the engineer technicians that I work with, we’ll just call him Mason. Considering who it was, it figured! Mason is one of the many gossipers at work and always has to know the going-ons.

I know that today was going to be another Premsyn day. I swear, them Premsyn pills work great for PMS! I don’t know what I’d do without them.

Yeah, he mentioned me passing him when we got to work. “Oh I’m sorry, but I don’t need to be in the middle of a looky-loo. I just want to get to work.” And he tried to give me shit for passing him on the right. If he had any brains he’s have seen that I had all the right in the world to pass him. And I told him it was him that was holding up the traffic with his looky-looing. Idiot!

Mason has been bugging me since yesterday to make some changes to a BOM for a product that we STILL have not been able to release for sale yet. He asked me when would be a good time. I told him he’d have to wait until my non-pissy pills kicked in.

I finally did deal with him and his damn changes later in the day, or should I say afternoon. He gets pissy with me when I have to ask him a whole bunch of questions and tell him to get me the information that I need. He tells me “Well I dunno.” Well you best go and find out cause it’s not my job to do your work for you. It’s only my job to document what needs to be done. And he wonders why I always put him off. I hate it when he, and only one other engineer in particular, get all pissy with me. Like I am putting THEM out cause they have to come to me. Then they get even more pissy with me because I have to ask umpteen questions, because they don’t tell me what I NEED to know. But of course I always end up doing all the leg work because they just can’t figure it out. Engineers, I swear! And they are supposed to be the smart ones. Their problem is that they really don’t care to know how what they are doing affects anything else.

So after asking Mason all the questions that I needed to know and FINALLY getting the answer that I needed, I knew what I needed to know and how to make the changes. “Why in the hell couldn’t you tell me that in the first place!? That is all I needed to know!” Of course I get the deer in the head light type of response. Typical! Yea, quit trying to show off and just tell me what I need to know. Sometimes all the technical mumbo jumbo is not necessary guys, especially if what I am asking are not technical related questions.

Anyway, I decided to put Mason’s change off until later this week. Turns out that the change is not something major, since we still have not been able to release this particular product yet.

I’m hoping I don’t feel all pissy again tomorrow. It really makes for a very long unproductive day at work.
