Volume I
"I've got so much trouble on my mind." Chuck D. (Public Enemy)
What ever happened to quality? Pride in your work? There was a time in
the early 50’s (no, I’m not that old, but Chris is) when people cared.
It didn’t matter what kind of work you did as long as you did it well.
If you were a janitor, you made sure your urinals gleamed. (It’s been a
long time since I’ve used that word. Who said Community College wasn’t
worth $123 per semester!)
Today pride, integrity, and quality have been replaced by one word.
PROFIT. Ok, I can understand this (being the capitalist that I am) and
I support this (when it happens to others) but, I have to draw the line
when it happens to me!!! Chrysler, whom now refer to themselves as
Daimler- Chrysler. (I refer to them as the Anti-Christler) has upset
yours truly. (I won’t go into the details because unlike myself you
probably have a life) I just ask you to do one thing for me:
Boycott Chrysler Products
Well now that felt good. Let’s all take a break and rest, ok that’s enough. Now back on the bandwagon.
In Utah there is a law that states that you cannot throw urine
filled plastic bottles out of your vehicle on the interstate. The fine
$200. The reason: State workers who mow grass along the highway have
been running over the bottles and getting “golden showered”. In the
50’s, you were lucky to have a job and if you did you certainly
wouldn’t complain about a little urine. This is exactly what I’m
talking about. My great-uncle worked for the state and mowed for nearly
40 years (before the invention of plastic bottles) and he was nearly
killed on numerous occasions by urine tainted glass shrapnel. It was
virtually piss Vietnam out there. I never heard him complain once! He
was a proud man.
In a recent interview with convicted killer/aspiring messiah
Charles Manson he indicated that prior to the Tate/LaBianca murders he
told his cult to do something “witchy”. (Now if you follow closely
you’ll see the connection.) If a psychopathic murderer can understand
the concept of pride in the workplace, why can’t the CEO of a major
corporation. Maybe we should release Manson and put him in charge of
the big three. Maybe then the American public would receive some good
and “witchy” customer service
Well, in the words of Air Supply, “I’m all out of love…” And thank you for suffering through my little rant.
Oh, one more thing. Is it me or is the Indian kid on That 70’s Show the most hilarious thing you’ve ever seen?
Next update I’ll take on recycling and tree hugging hippies, namely Jude. Until then…
