You might be an asshole

Are you one of those people who very aggressively says good morning to everyone?  If they don't respond to you with the level of enthusiasm you would like, do you get upset or angry?

If you answered yes, then I have some bad news, friend.  It sounds like you're an asshole.

Expecting someone to drop what they are doing to exchange pleasantries with you isn't courteous.  It's entitled and it's rude.  Bitching about them afterward is even worse.  Even if your particular victim isn't busy, maybe they're just tired.  Maybe they're having a bad day.  Maybe they think you're an asshole and don't want to fucking say good morning to you.  If you're just being nice because you think everyone should follow your script, then are you really being nice at all?  It sounds like you're just being fake.  And heads up, that snotty undertone is probably a lot less subtle than you think.

Don't get hung up on it and make it a thing, and don't think you're the last vestige of chivalry in a cruel, cruel world.

Day One

I want to keep a blog.  I have wanted to start blogging for a while now because it seems fun and I have the time.  I have a job with a lot of down time between tasks and I desperately need to fill that time.  I don't know that "I'm bored" is a very good blog topic, but here we are anyway.

This is just going to be a bunch of random shit.  I have some posts I would like to get done with specific interests.  I will probably rant a lot just chat sometimes.

Should we start with an "about me" talk?  Let's do that.
