OK, those of faint constitution and delicate sensibilities, go no further and do not click on the “read more”, this is going to get ugly, and is kind of self indulgent (but I am me, and I cannot stay mad forever). Jesuschristsonastickfuckingmoronbitch. What the fuck is wrong with people???!!!?? Huh? How bloody mother fucking inconsiderate does some one have to be? When the economic climate is in the toilet, is this the time to say I want more and screw any one else?

Well of course it is if you are an inconsiderate moronic selfish asshat. Screw the old man trying to get his groceries home and trying to hitchhike (with no one stopping, I hope some one eventually did, I was walking so I couldn’t get him home). Fuck the manager at a fast food place who has four staff members who cannot make it into work so she will have to let them go (yes, they are only students, students don’t need money for school, do they?). Forget the new to Canada single mother (who knows nobody and does not speak the language), who never has been in cold like this, walking over an hour with her child, because you cannot leave a two year old alone at home while you get groceries. 

Welcome to Ottawa and the Public Transit strike that shows no signs of abating. Starting at the beginning of December, bah humbug, and continuing on, well still. And it has been wonderously fucking cold on some of those days (I don’t give a rat’s ass if wonderously is not a word, shut up Spell Check!). 

These are a few things I have seen and heard about. Multiply them times several thousand. The traffic sucks getting to work in the morning, I am seeing many stressed people who cannot manage getting to their jobs and getting the kids to school (especially if you have one in high school and another in college). God forbid that they have any extra curricular activities, like a job…

It goes beyond inconvenience, it is just mean spirited at this point.

I guess I am frustrated and therefore not very objective. Some people might say, think of it from the bus drivers’ point of view. To be honest, I did at first, but the longer this goes on the less I care and the less respect I have for any of these people (including the City Government for not getting things fixed). And I hate myself for thinking this way. I really really try to be fair, but this is just beyond my ability to do this. Hating people is not fun, I dislike some people, don’t care for some people, but I don’t really hate many. Well, I am starting to. Bastards.

Needless to say this has put me in a “fabulous” mood. So expect me to be a little (read a lot) grumpy and bitchy when I recap for the next few weeks (and if you say, how is that any different from the recapping before? I will kill you, slowly, with pointed sticks, and I will enjoy it). 

That felt good to get off my chest, maybe I will dream tonight, nice dreams, of bus drivers, union leaders and city council people falling into huge gaping wide black pits of despair. They deserve it. Bastards.

 

This was a kimkac rant, and if you don’t like it, you know the drill. I. Do. Not. Give. A. Fuck.
