born from inside and burn the angel

Self-Righteous Indignant Assholes. I wish i could make that sentence more beautiful. Or as ugly as my self-righteous indignation. But fuck them. Honestly.

Reason for Misanthropy #12 :
---People dont give a shit enough to find out how something works. They want everything done for them in some magical way.

Example :

Customer wants us to cancel an account that is mysteriously billing him. He gives us no information except for one email address. He did not sign up under this email address, so nothing shows up. An email response is sent out telling him 'Sorry bud. Not enough info' but in so many words. He sends us another email back saying that hes going to take legal action, and that he has friends in high places. But he only has the one email. still. He gets another reply like the one before. Customer Fuck-stick writes us back saying that this is highly unprofessional and that the entire 'little business' is a scam.
O.k. Good for him and his cute little opinion.

Doesn't change the fact we cant find his subscription. Nor the fact that he will not call in to provide us with more information. The email even says exactly what he needs to provide us with to find the information. He gave us his last name and zip code. Nothing. Another legal threat. Alright buddy call your friends. Let them know that your being charged $29.95 a month with information you seem to have stored magically, up your ass.

I mean, I can only imagine one of his friends calling up, and getting treated like every other customer. Well do you know the credit card it was charged too? Well im sorry but we show no records of anything on this card. What was the site? www. fuck-n-suck-ugly gay-dudes.com. Nope. Still nothing sorry. I mean, the cockmaster can actually fucking send a fax with the charge on it, have a team of GoGetter's look at it, and more than likely resolve it.

Ive been threatened legally so many times in the last month or 2 of working here, I'm positive that there are more people who have 'some political ties' than don't. Makes me kind of sad really. I'm in the minority there.

morale of the story - emotion clouds judgement.


ANYWAY on a non-work related note. Well, non-real-place-of-employment, anyway. I've been trying to read Gore Vidal's 'Creation', but with little success. Not that I dont want too. But, fuck, we've been so busy lately. I've had it for 2 days and I'm only 75 pages in. Urgh feel like im in 4th grade inching through jurassic park one new vocabulary word at a time. And I'm really enjoying it too!

Its about the grandson of the Prophet Zoroaster, and his life and travels encountering the prechrist messiah figures. Confucious, Bhudda, Zoroaster and Plato and the such. Beautifully written and enormously insightful and informative. The only other author I have read that has put more information than words on a page is Robert A. Wilson. Which is a very respectable remark. Im not as engrossed with the other Vidal historical fiction though. I want to read the one about Julian Augusta's, Lincoln, and a historical political semi-fictitious novel about the New Deal to McCarthy Era called Washington D.C. and a newly discovered fantasy work he wrote called In Search of the King.

Well the weekends almost here. Then I can finish Creation without interruption. I cant wait either, there is a stack of books I want to read when Im done with it.

This chain of reading for the last few months seems more solid than before. As a matter of fact, all of the 'phases' or 'cycles' as I like to call them are slowly blending together. It used to be where I would devote myself to one thing entirely, one genre, one interest, one author, one vice. But now I seem to be able to juggle them without much disinterest, as happens to plague me after a while. I feel like for the first time I'm understanding the literature that I'm reading, and creating, in my mind. I couldn't sleep last night because I was too busy rewriting and novelizing the old movie Jack, The Giant Killer in my head. Didn't end up falling asleep until 11 again.

Buckethead is coming to Flagstaff on the 9th of February. That will be fantastic. Forgot to tell AP though. Heh. My supervisor wants to come with us, so I'm guessing that at least 8 of us will be at the show. 25$ for ticket, then another $50 for booze and merch. The merchandise at a Buckethead show is usually a glorius fanboy treasure chest. Last time I was there I got a buckethead shirt. Which has oddly enough disappeared entirely.. I think Jesse might have stolen it? Or Channing? I cant keep track. Women steal my clothes. Guess Ill have to add that one to the list. Oh well. I'll get another one. Perhaps a Buckethead painting [though I dont think it would fare well at a concert..] or perhaps another shirt. Deli Creeps maybe. Maybe he will have put out another 3 rare concert only cds. That would be nice.

I logged into Kerrazy-Torrents the other night to a PM asking me If I could post the new Buckethead cd. I was touched. There wasnt any asking, they just assumed that I already had it. Because of my previous releases no doubt, but its nice, that recognition from a stranger. I told them money was tight now but when I was able to I would make a scene release. Another triumph of the internet, I was promoted to CG Superfan! Only 160 members out of the 2000+ have that rank. Yeah fuck you Im excited. I fucking love CG.

Well shit. I dont have anything interesting to write anymore. Im coughing. This took me hours to write as is. fucking work. I sure do like it a lot.
