So Bizzeh

I woke up angry this morning. You know me so you know this isn't so unusual. I thought getting a few things off my chest might ease the rage.

Here are a couple of things that caused little fissures of fury this week:

1. Teenage try-hard Australian pop idols who, in a pained, terribly earnest, hand-on-heart way say this things like this 'It just goes to show that dreams can come true, you just need to believe in yourself and you can do anything'. WRONG. Someone who is 4ft is NOT going to play in the NBL. I am NOT going to be a rock star. Among other possible random examples.

2. My performance appraisal final comment: 'You've managed a very complex region for quite some time now, but in the last year you've gone from strength to strength. You have increased your knowledge of travel trends, maintained excellent relationships with your authors, and created great new first editions. Your enthusiasm and honesty in approaching the changes to the CE role have been greatly appreciated. Thanks for being so ace.'
Condescending corporate bullshit which constitutes a demeaning pat on the head and has no bearing on real life, ie money. What a crock.

3. People who don't press the button at traffic lights. How do I know when to cross the road? That's what the fucking green man is for. If you're not going to press the button, get out of the fucking way.
