Whoa, did that video make anybody else want to go ride?

Work sucks today. Very tired of people bitching about work to me. lazy Women! Think the world owes them something!!!  Bitch about never getting time off (temporary lay-off)in the same sentence they bitch about not making enough money. If they spend as much time worrying about their own jobs as they do poking their noses into others, this place would run itself.

Only 3 people here, each one thinks I am personally screwing them over because they are here. If I left them home, it would be my fault their check is short a day.

Life Sucks somedays! The key is to enjoy the good days, so the bad ones aren't so bad.

Maybe I should go find my boss, and bitch him out because the advertising market tanked, and blame him because I ride a stock quad? Totally his fault I am getting less hours, and don't have the xtra dough for bigmods......



Okay, I feel better, thanks for reading. 

Good morning Raptorsource.
