I'm never sure what to post and when other people post I'm never sure what to say
It's hard giving advice when I don't know what I'm doing myself!
But I'd love to be able to contribute more and see this place come alive again

I'm in the same boat as Silence, I often wish I would post more but I'm always second-guessing myself. I'd love for SU to be a more active place as well but I'm unsure as to what I could do to help with that objective.

*sigh* You know what really annoys me? I realize lately that I really *hate* when people act as though I'm a child. Or someone who's completely living under a rock. Cussing? Sex? Why should mention of either of those things bother me? I'm almost fucking 28 years old. Today, a part of me just wanted to be like..."Fuck you, lady. I work in the same damn place. I've heard my fair share of horrible, horrible stories...and I'm a fan of HBO (ha)..." Unless she's into some sort of really kinky shit or was a prostitute herself...I can't imagine there really being any difference between me or her hearing the same story. I mean...I've heard enough shitty stories. I don't need to hear more. But it's not like any of it's going to "corrupt" me or anything. Which people sometimes act like anything they say/do will. This probably seems like a super stupid rant. But a different lady within the past couple of weeks, multiple times, has made a comment about how it must bother me that she cusses so much. And then I just say it doesn't--and it really, really doesn't. So what if I don't cuss that much at work (and never around her)? I prefer to be professional at work, for the most part. If I said half the things on my mind, I'd come across so very different. And not in a good way. It just...annoys me. SO MUCH.

Okay here I go:
builders the BBC new Labour Blairites David Cameron and the rest of the scummy Conservatives my Mother's douchebag siblings people who take ages putting their money away or using ATMs people who almost stand on my heels behind me in line people who talk at the Movies my neighbour's self-proclaimed 'protege' son young mothers with their pushchairs (it's road rage on the pavements!) space hogging passengers on crowded trains and buses every single superficial, airhead broadcaster with their stupid fans on Vaughnlive.tv every single superficial, airhead broadcaster from Vaughnlive.tv who migrated to ivlog.tv my mother's annoying tendency to moan about everything, talk over people and start an argument at the drop of a hat my father's lack of drive to do anything (I am even surprised he musters the energy to breathe) everybody's off the wall kids which are tanked up on Coca Cola
There is plenty more, but my mind can't think straight right now. Stay tuned people.

So far.....very boring. And the bit I know I'm supposed to do monthly, I don't really completely understand. Or really even have the desire to do it. Nor do I care a whole lot about it.
I'm just really disappointed.
I was told it was a new position, and evolving, which I had mixed feelings about. Turns out, my gut was right. I went with a 'logical' decision, and so far I'm hating what I chose to do. (I had been offered another position for another company and chose this one - because of money and benefits and it being the 'sure' thing.) In a nutshell. :/ But what good are the benefits if I'm only two weeks in and want to quit because I'm bored to tears? I hate waking up even more than I did before.
In the past, I've tried to 'follow' my heart on some issues, and that always seems to bite me in the ass. So, now I'm making 'logical'/reason-based decisions, and it's equally not working out. Just in a different way.
Not the worst problem in the world either, which makes me feel even worse about feeling so sour about it. UGH!

UGH! oh worse than being overworked is being underworked. you get out of bed and go all the way to work they could at least have something for you to do.

Not so random, based on recent events around America and the rest of the world really...injustice and hate. I'm so sick and tired of hearing about all of these shootings, bombings, etc. And then people's responses to them. Hate the racial tension that I feel like is increasing - I thought we were beyond that at this point? What the hell happened to feeling safe and secure? I'm from a small community and never saw any racism - I always felt lucky about that. I thought this was a better, more accepting world. I used to think it would have been neat to grow up in the 60's - not just because I love the styles, music. But because of the massive change there was to witness. I was a dumbass. And these recent events don't even compare to what it used to be. I find all of this very unsettling. I'm trying to not let the media drag me down in feeling like the world is such a shitty place to live. But it is hard. There are reminders everywhere. And I feel so sorry for ALL of the families that have lost loved ones; there have been so many senseless crimes committed lately. To be honest, I think the Orlando shooting struck me hardest first, out of all the recent things that have happened over the past year - can't get over it. Especially when it could have been prevented. And now, the recent shootings, racial tensions and certain people showing total mistrust in the police force as a whole? This is just insane to me. Madness, completely chaotic. My father is Chief of a small town. I would be so livid if something happened to him just because he wears a uniform and a badge. He's an excellent cop; therefore, I know great cops exist. I also currently work in a law enforcement center. Most are fair and careful in their actions. This is stressful. Unsettling. I feel depressed. Such a crappy world.

I don't like the mistrust of police forces either, I have a fairly positive opinion of the police force, I do think the stereotype of the police officer who throw their weight around is true on the whole they are good and trustworthy people. I'm not American though so I don't have an insiders view on it but it seems like a lot of these shootings are portrayed heavily in one way by the media in order to portray it a certain way.
I think mistrust of the police will only lead to worse things.
