Hello I’m the “Would Be Hermit” and these are my Musings. You may ask (or not) why am I the “Would Be Hermit?” Because I decided to be, I’d rather be in a cabin, in the middle of the woods, in the middle of nowhere, and have limited contact with people, than live in the real world. However, my reality states that I do in fact live in the real world, so it’s only in my dreams that I am a Hermit. So that being said, I’m declaring myself the “Would Be Hermit!”

How did I arrive at the decision to become the “Would Be Hermit?” Well it’s my fault, since through my choices (good and bad) in life and the career path I’ve choosen have placed me in this position.   At my current employer, I deal directly with the public on a daily basis, whether I like it or not, mostly because I have a need to eat. While many of the people I deal with are fine (they understand reality), it’s the ones who have a sense of entitlement, the ones that are ignorant and believe yelling and swearing makes them right and conversely makes me wrong, despite the reality of their situation, that drive me to desire my Cabin In The Woods (that currently only exists in my mind).

The work I deal with is black and white with no gray areas. I’ve found that people tend to ass(u)me and not pay attention to what they agree too. When they discover what it is they think they agreed to and compare it to what they really agreed to (reality), that’s when I go to my Cabin In The Woods. It’s like one of those agreements on the internet that ask you to read it and then check off that you agree to it. People just check off the box and never look at it. Then when they have an issue with that enterprise, they get upset that they ass(u)med they knew what it said by not reading it and that the entity that wrote that agreement is now holding them to it, even though they choose not to read it, how dare that entity do that. So they now think they can reject the actual reality and substitute it with their own reality, no matter how wrong they are.

So my point of this page is to Muse about reality or my version of it and see where that takes me.
