For some people bullying and degrading others is the way they proceed through life, that is until they hit a wall that they can’t bully or put down.  Then they’re at a loss as to what to do next for they didn’t have a good skill set to begin with.

That’s beyond my scope of anything.

Some people like to think of the cup as half empty, while others half full.  I prefer half frozen.

They have this ability to take a simple situation and make it complicated by over thinking it.

They were operating under the assumption that age gives them the experience to do something they know nothing about and to then treat the experienced people like sh*t.

I might be a little crazy, but…

My work place is having a potluck dinner; I’d cook something but with my skills I’d be lucky if everyone doesn’t end up on the pot.

You don’t get to go first, when you come here last.

Back during my Dad’s Army days, his unit wasn’t busy, so they put him on courier duty, which in of itself is an uneventful occupation.  However, the jeep they assigned him had a history.  The 3 prior drivers of it were all killed, the jeep was full of bullet holes and drove sideways down the road.  So I guess not an entirely uneventful occupation after all.  Lucky for him, he wasn’t number four.

Anything is not possible.

Sometimes during a career, lightning only strikes once, if at all.  Not everyone can repeat an early success, but they still keep that lightning rod up just in case.

Thou they thought they were at least halfway there, it turned out they were just a quarter of the way and were thus depressed.

A coworker told me that they rely on me, well f**k that, why don’t you rely on yourself for a change.  I wouldn’t mind them relying on me, if only I could rely on them, but…

I can only do so much, for after that I don’t want to do anything but go to my Cabin In The Woods.

Don’t reward stupid, for being stupid is reward enough.

The situation is so deluded from where it was that I just can’t justify caring anymore.

We offer quality-ish service.

Did you know that toilet paper has an expiration date?  Well it doesn’t.

 

You can’t always get what you want, but, you could want what you can’t get.

They want to be right, they don’t want to be wrong, so which is it?

All eyes are on, well not that?

What is one to do when there’s nowhere to go back to?  Not even to a Cabin In The Woods.

Before the spouse and I embarked on raising a family, we took a trip to Ireland to do the Irish things one does there and to look up where her parents came from.  So we started out on a traditional guided bus tour with people from all over the world.  We were about an hour into the planned trip when the guide got a call and we had to wait a couple of hours for a fellow traveler to catch up to the bus since they missed the original departure.  Well ok, this person being in a foreign country probably got confused or lost so no big deal.  That’s not what it turned out to be though.  Rather it was a local person, who actually lived in the departure city and thought the bus would wait for her to get there, we didn’t.

She later complained that she had a lousy trip because everyone else on the trip was mad at her, well duh.  We all traveled thousands of miles for this vacation and were on time.  She only had to travel a few miles and couldn’t get there the same as us.  So to say the rest of her traveling companions being resentful of her lack of consideration; might have played into how she was treated.

We’re shaping the future by repeating the past.

I have decided to remove myself as the key to the operation and have instead decided to become a cog in it for being the key gets annoying after a while.  Especially considering one of the current cogs thinks the key should do all the work while they troll the internet.

It was a long day on a short night.

You’re mostly wrong anyway, so why is that worrying you now?

You’ll make do with what you have and maybe in the future you’ll get what you need.

It’s easier to cry over the individual than the masses.

Reason?  I don’t need a reason.

I don’t picture myself a better life, just another life at a Cabin In The Woods.

The problem with some people is the illusion they have built of their reality will get in the way of actual reality.

It sucks to be a bad employee and believe you’re not.

Sometimes it’s just good to be wrong.

I can’t say if I respect or disrespect you, for at this time you’re a complete blank to me.

If it is your desire to rule the masses, you need to keep them in mind with all your decisions.  If not, the people will not subtly remind you of that and you will be replaced.  Not necessarily by someone better, but you will be replaced.

The only issue I have with advice on how to eat better and live longer is this:  what is considered good for you today by the “experts” will probably kill you tomorrow.  I have a little problem with all the contradictions.  So I live as I live, we’ll see what happens at my Cabin In The Woods.

They are vastly uninteresting.

I was at a graduation for one of my children the other day and they were having everyone enter the auditorium in a certain way.  One A**hole thought he was special and even when they told him not to go around that way, his response was, “coming thru”.  Well he tripped and fell so hard on his a** that one of his shoes went flying.  Everyone laughed at this idiot, for there was a reason they didn’t want anyone to go that way, there’s a tripping hazard.

Just because you’re being aggressive about it, doesn’t make it rightfully yours.

I can’t see things that are not there, perhaps you can, but then that’s a whole different discussion.

They forget about their own quickly, so don’t fret over it.

Your actions say “I cared not to try”.

I’ll get to the bottom of it as soon as I figure out what it is?

We’re all lumps, so being lumped in together with others is ok.

I religiously don’t follow it.

So your solution to my request is to leave me on a long hold and hope I go away since you have no idea how to proceed or understanding on how to get an answer for me.  For you are frozen with indecision and I desire a Cabin In The Woods without you.

It’s not creativity if you cater to the lowest common denominator.

If you feel the need to state that you offer care and compassion, then you don’t.  It should just be done, not stated.

They’re here one day and gone the next, why?

We’re at the cross street of No Way and Doubtful Lane.

How down on your luck do you have to be that buying a used taxi for transportation seems like a good choice?

What happens when people forget society’s greatest strides?

Sometimes it’s the small victories that matter the most.

I did it and yes, I’ll do it again.

Don’t do stupid since you have no idea what kind of crazy you’ll run into.

My youngest was trying to reach one of their youth leaders by phone the other day.  However it just rang and no one picked up, so they decided to text them.  But each text came back as undeliverable.  Confused, they texted me and I asked what number they were trying to contact.  It turns out it was the individuals land line, remember those, they didn’t.

We all hope to be right, however…  (Something to consider at my Cabin In The Woods.)

They have to arrive under their own power.  Maybe they will, maybe they won’t, but it’s still up to them.

You learn to live with it; however, you never get over it.

Bought a new refrigerator the other day and we had all the measurements for it except one, the doorway.  Upon delivery we discovered it was 29 inches wide, the fridge: 30.

I see an obvious problem that doesn’t need to be fixed.

My blog has been live for four years now and still no one has really noticed it.  So in the existence of a Would Be Hermit, all continues on its proper course.  I haven’t even amassed 750 visits yet, which is great!  But I do have over 2000 Posts and over a 100,000 word count, so I have nothing to say I guess.  Thou I do get a lot hits from China?  That just leads me wonder what their searching for that brings them to me?  So I’m hoping for more of the same over the next year.

I’m sorry if I like consistency throughout my life, since change brings well change and that’s not always agreeable.

I don’t give a shit about their political views because they’re theirs and not mine.  I don’t have to pay any attention at all to them if I so desire and they’re free to express themselves anytime and anywhere, even as I ignore them.

They can’t assist at this moment, because they have an important nothing to do at this time.

Life is an up charge.

You have a whole lot of education in one area, but that doesn’t mean it automatically translates to other areas you lack knowledge in.

It’s not your fault, but we’re blaming you anyhow, it’s just your turn on the blame scale.

So really?  You’re doubling down on stupid?  If so, then it’s off to my Cabin In The Woods I go.

Why is dark always considered bad and light is considered good?

Recently while camping, I made a new friend.

There is no truth to the statement that “they do nothing all day”.  The correct statement is “they mostly do nothing all day”.

I thought I heard a derailment when I interrupted their train of thought.

What’s the past tense of dead?

Get all the facts beforehand, don’t jump into the situation stupid.

Whom am I hiding from; when I know no one is searching for me?  Perhaps that’s the reason for my Cabin In the Woods?

On my recent camping trip we experienced long periods of rain between torrential down pours, it was grand.

You’re like a ray of sunshine coming thru the slits in an outhouse.

 

I was camping recently and had one of those dreams where I crashed my car and awoke with a start.  Thing was, everything was black and that freaked me out until I remember I was sleeping in a totally dark tent in the woods.

Some people live to exist, other exist to live, right now I am living…

If I understood why I do what I do, then I wouldn’t understand.

Sometimes I don’t care, but mostly I don’t.

My youngest wants to rename the dog “5 miles”, so if anyone asks they can say, I walked 5 miles today.

I saw a product that stated it was “More Natural”, than what?  A pile of sh*t can be considered “More Natural”, but it’s still sh*t.  Plus there are plenty of things in nature that can kill you.  So a product simply being natural is kind of irrelevant, no matter how much more it is.

The day you wake up dead, is the day you don’t have to go to work.

I opened up my mind and dust came out.

They assigned themselves a grand task to complete even though it was not related to their actual job responsibilities and they leave their coworkers in a bind since they now have to pick up the slack.

I heard a coworker exclaim how fast a worker they are.  Yeah sure, in the world of slugs perhaps, but not here or at my Cabin In The Woods.

At one point I was cleaning a health spa for extra money.  I was there a while when they hired a new personal trainer that I had happened to have gone to high school with.  Back in high school he probably considered himself higher on the pecking order than me, and since he was at the bottom here, he thought he could boss me around.  Well no, problem was, I didn’t work for this health spa, but rather an outside contractor.  They were real surprised when their boss yelled at them, because my boss yelled at their boss, for him interfering with my work.  He discovered that his perceived status in high school didn’t matter to me then, nor did he have it now or ever.

If we all got what we needed, none of us would be here.

What if I’m right and they’re wrong, it’s probably not the case, but what if?

Back in college I volunteered for the schools EMS since I was there anyway.  At one point we needed gauze, so we put the request through the schools purchasing department and they put it out to bid.  When we received the winning bids supply of gauze, it was not white, but flesh color.  It looked like we were using dirty gauze.  I think that supplier just dumped it on the school, since who else would ever buy it?

The only problem with their story is the actual truth.

I’ll never know everything that I didn’t know.

It’s not only big organizations that can be indifferent, I’m an individual and I can be also.

Take a good look at yourself in the mirror and stop blaming everybody else for your shortcomings.

They call themselves the consummate professional, but their actions speak of their lack of.

Their trying to find a solution to a problem that doesn’t wanna be fixed.
