Less than one week to go until Thanksgiving. I don’t know why, but this year I really don’t care like I had in the past. I think maybe because I’ve got a lot of shit on my mind lately. I am attempting to teach myself CSS so I can revamp my websites and get those going with some nice features that CSS offers. I don’t know exactly how it will work out, but so far I’ve learned a few things. I have been saving money like crazy and aside from recurring bills I am pretty much paid up. I am also looking into school as well. So currently my plate is rather full, couple that with the fact that my job is so stupid and I’m surprised I’m not heavily medicated yet.
Speaking of stupidity at work I guess I can bitch a little more. On the plus side I actually was given permission to put my turkey pans on a 99 cent deal price, so that was good. However since our corporate office made our turkey price 79 cents a pound on turkeys and everyone else around us is going in the 50 cents or less per pound range it kind of kills us. Of course we were told that we weren’t going to match anyone else’s price on turkeys. Now that is completely stupid shit, especially considering the fact that our competitors aren’t that far away and if someone can save 6 bucks on a bird, they probably are going to. According to them they are planning on having a meeting on Monday to decide what they could do about the price. Fucking Monday? Do you realize that most people need to have their frozen turkey’s purchased before Monday so they can start cooking that sonofabitch Thursday morning. Unless you are throwing it in the deep fryer there is really no way you are going to have that thing finished by Thursday afternoon. Oh well, just another stupid idea in the world of a failing grocery store. If they are still open by next November I wonder what they are going to do considering that Super Wal Mart will then be open and the turkey price will probably be driven down to the mid 30’s.
I see the folks over at the AFA are running their mouths off about Saving Private Ryan that ran on Veteran’s Day on ABC. In case you missed it, I bitched about these assholes a while ago. So anyway these folks are annoyed that ABC aired this on broadcast television. Yes, it was a very brutal and bloody movie; war is hell… but wait, that’s not the problem here.
We believe Saving Private Ryan accurately depicted what happens during fierce battles between two armies. The graphic depictions of atrocious injuries, mental stress, profane language, and brutality are likely common occurrences in war.
But ABC crossed the line by airing at least 20 “f” words and 12 “s” words during prime time viewing hours!
According to these crusaders for decency it’s ok for the children to see someone getting their body parts blown off, but not if they say the word fuck when it happens. People like this make me sick. I still can’t understand why in the hell they can’t just turn off the channel. Without going into rant and rave mode like I did the last time I brought them up I will just reiterate one of my points. There are plenty of things that I don’t like but I don’t try to get rid of them. I mentioned oriental food last time, but here’s one a little closer to what’s going on here. I don’t like country music; therefore I don’t tune into country stations when I’m listening to the radio. If I’m flipping through the radio and I hear some country I don’t call the station and ask them what they think they are doing broadcasting that kind of thing over the open airwaves, I just move along. I also don’t like reality television so therefore I don’t watch those shows. Unfortunately it’s so hard to argue with closed minded souls… see you in Hell.
