WTF?

So I was just taking a look at a few of todays headlines on my msn home page, and I just have one question: Why is it that a "disaster" isn't truly a "disaster" until it is declared as such??? The headline says "Bush declared Fay-swept Florida a disaster"...Well Thank God for Bush! I'm just so relieved that all of those people in Florida who fell victim to Hurricane Fay are considered 'disasters'. Same thing when Hurricane Katrina came through Louisiana, Bush flew over the areas in a helicopter and declared it a "National Disaster". Ya know, it's a damn good thing we have Bush (if not for anything else) to declare an area ravaged with unimaginable wind, water, and flooding damages a 'disaster'. Now we can all sleep tonight knowing that we don't have to wonder "Well, is it a disaster? Or is it just a tragedy???" The whole of the American people couldn't possibly be able to distinguish their own Goddamned disasters! Some individuals that I know are just walking disasters themselves!

Maybe work made me irritable....I hate Sundays at work. Oh don't get me wrong, I love the time and a half pay, but sometimes it's so freakin inane on a Sunday: boring, slow, stupid ass customers, and people who just throw their money at me for a Sunday paper, and don't have any manners, cut everyone else in line, and then when they hand me a dollar, I ask what it's for, they just say "paper" and stand there like I didn't have someone else to take care of....and while I'm on that subject, I'm tired of people coming up to the SD with their fuckin groceries like "Can you ring me up here? There's lines" Yeah I know there's lines, you just stood in MY line to ask that DUMBASS question...and NO YOU CANNOT RING OUT AT THE SD WITH ALL THOSE GROCERIES!!! WHY is it that you don't want to wait in the line at the checkout with only three people, but you stood in my line of five deep to just ask that question, cause you think you are special or something??? AND NO I CAN'T RING UP PRODUCE AT THE SD I DON'T HAVE A SCALE, GET OVER IT!!!...and don't you just love those people who see that you are clearly counting, or aren't ready to take the next customer and they POUNCE on your spot like they're a fuckin King Lion and you're a wimpy gazelle...like today I had just come in and got my tray handed to me, and I have to count the money before I ring anything up. I'm standing there on my side of the SD counting my money, and some woman PUSHES her way past the customers in line for LOTTO (the other woman working with me was taking care of them) and starts to ask me for a book of stamps...I was like "UM, I'M NOT OPEN YET, AND SHE CAN TAKE CARE OF YOU IN A MINUTE...OR THEY HAVE STAMPS AT THE REGISTERS". Well, maybe I didn't yell it, but my mind was yelling and I was just politely, but sternly, telling the woman exactly that. Why don't they put signs or something on the registers saying "Stamps Sold Here"?? Day after day I see idiots go through the registers and then go directly to the SD and get stamps...why oh why do they torment me??? I always tell them "You know they have stamps at the registers too"....and I get the classic "Oh I didn't know that!!" Of course you knew that! We've been selling them for nine years and all of a sudden you didn't know that??!! Get your stamps and get the fuck out!!?....Whoo...i've got to calm down..these customers got me wanting to go Gangsta on them every day!
