Would you like some more cheese with that whine?

If there's one thing I've learned from my job, it's that there are two types of people in this world:

1. The type who will find something to complain about, almost to the point of doing it just for the sake of being able to complain about something.

2. The type that have the mind and heart to realize that life is life and -- who cares if one performance out of an entire year of Pops symphony concerts was staged in a new venue this past weekend and you weren't seated as close to the stage as you normally are for other Pops concerts because many of the concert sponsors and board members occupied the front row so this, in turn, made you feel less important as a human being because other people got to sit in front of you and this clearly indicates that God, as well as the rest of humanity, not only loves them more than you, but also puts more value into their personal worth, and, Lord help you, the air conditioning was too damned strong for your liking and, here it comes, the 4 giant video screens that were set up, so that people such as yourselves who had to, oh crime of humanity, sit further back in the hall could view the stage, were TOO GRAINY -- take it as it comes, you realize the need to embrace change every once in a while and find a way to sit your ass down and be glad in the fact that you have the opportunity to enjoy 2 hours of your life having a live symphony orchestra and three Broadway stars perform for you as you enjoy some f*ing wine and g*damned cheese.

  1. You, like me, definitely should not be in customer service. Too many stupid people to annoy us in this world and they somehow all find you.

  3. Ys, I would like to point out that people-type #2 is a single sentence. A single, glorious, clarion, lucid, and dare I say it, extragrammatical, thought.
