Okay, seriously, people need to bugger on off about what I want to do with my life. I was sitting in math tutorial the other day, and this 30 year old chick was sitting beside me and asked why I was taking business. And I was like, "oh, I want to be a financial planner!" and she was like "really?" and I said "...yeah" and she starts telling me about how that's what she did and she just wrote the exam and they gave her a job at Investors Group. So, as she basically tells me it was a waste for me to go to college when I could just take some exam, she also tells me that it sucks telling people to invest their money when the economy is bad and blah blah blah. And it's like, okay girlfriend, a) I'm in my first year first semester of business. I may and probably will change my mind a few times. and b) I HAVE FOUR FREAKING YEARS UNTIL I GRADUATE, THE ECONOMY CHANGES. Seriously. Also, if you feel bad telling them to invest, then don't. Tell them how you can help them out in this economy.
Then I had some guy come into work today, and, while it is very fair to say he may have been crazy, he told me that getting into business was a bad idea because of the economy. Once again, homeboy, I'm in my first year at college. The economy has it's ups and downs. It changes. And quickly. But without people who took business in school, it would be much harder to get out of a down economy, aiight? So lay off me.
Also, the girl in my class who works with IG and didn't go to college for it, yeah...I'm doing better in all of the courses we have together. So, pt II, suck on it. Again.
Okay and on a completely separate topic (I may have a few of those in this blog, I'm Ranty McGee today) people suck at driving. Seriously, today I was almost at an intersection with green lights, and some guy was turning right from the red light side, and he had one of those little helpful right-hand turn barricades with a yield sign on it, and instead of turning right, he just pulled a U-turn into the complete opposite direction of the right turn. As if he didn't have the extra three minutes to wait at a red light to turn left, or to take a series of right hand turns if he made a mistake. Nope, a U-turn into oncoming traffic was definitely the best way to solve his problem. And you know what? I probably would be a lot more lenient if he was old or from Alberta. But nope. This douchebag was from BC and driving an ugly early 90's jacked up pickup.
Then, tonight I was driving home from Wendy's, and was on a dark road, and this guy was speeding at me with both of his lights off! IN THE DARK. AT NIGHT. Like, I'm pretty sure the one was burnt out, and the other just wasn't on full power, but still. Don't drive around when it's dark and raining if you don't have proper headlights.
And then, to top it all off, I was going through an intersection, and some chick was turning right at her red light, and instead of being all, Oh hey, I'll just creep forward a bit so you know I won't hit you, she like, sped towards the intersection, then slammed on her breaks as I drove past. I'm so surprised we didn't swipe it's insane. Who drives like that? It's dark and raining, there is no way in hell you didn't notice that big red light in front of you.
Also I'm pretty sure that the crazy guy at work started talking to me about how not enough babies were being born because there were more women working than making babies. I don't think he understands that overpopulation is a huge issue right now. And dude, just cause I want to work, doesn't mean I'm going baby free my whole life.
This was a good ranting session. I just needed to let it all (most of it) out. My journal will be hearing the rest.
