ORIGINAL: Aylee It will be okay Rich. You know what I have gotten overloaded with? People who excuse their own incompetence by devaluing the quality at which they are incompetent. Lousy at grammar and spelling? "Oh, I don't think it matters whether you spell a word right; what matters is that I get the point across." (Poor logic and nonfactual, by the way.) Not literate or articulate? "Who gives a fuck?" Don't even *try* to remember anyone's name other than their own? "Oh, I'm terrible at names." Too fuckin' stupid to roust their ass out of bed and leave home early enough to allow for normal variable traffic conditions? "Oh, I'm sorrreeee, if I didn't speed, tailgate and run lights this morning, I wouldn't have made it to work on time." (You're sorry, all right.) I'd tell them to stop making excuses for themselves and take some responsibility, but, well, they're too busy making excuses and evading responsibility to listen. so well stated, Aylee...one of my favorite rants, not that it does any good toward effecting changes in these incompetents, but does remind me not to act that way myself...i discovered years ago that when i would be confronted by a boss regarding some incompetence on my part, & i owned up to it & didn't make excuses, that boss would simply stare at me, speechless...probably due to the fact that they were prepared to counter my excuses & blaming of others for my mistake...odd times, these......
