Everything is such crap. The world is such crap.
Among things that are crap are half-million-dollar salary hikes for the president of an organization that can't seem to give it's professionals a 2% raise without a fight, dropping half of your delicious frosted snowman cookie on the dirty ground, and breaking out the one day you really wanted to look good for somebody.
Today sucks, and I really want to blame it on someone, but there is nobody to blame it on because it was I who did not shower until mid-afternoon on Sunday causing my breakout, and it was I who dropped my delicious frosted snowman cookie on the dirty ground, and I can't really blame the guy who gave himself a huge raise because hell, if I had the resources to give myself an extra half-million dollars a year, I'd do it. I love money!
But I made up a bright side! Wanna hear it? Ok, so I don't mind being poor because I love my job and the satisfaction that I am contributing to the educations of millions. Yeah, that's a good one. And I didn't need a cookie because I haven't been to the gym in 5 months and have started to let myself go. That's great too! And lastly, now the acne on my face matches the exzema on my hands! A trifecta of optimistic delusion!
I should be a grief counselor, I'm so awesome at the Bright Side. It's too bad nobody believes in that crap.
Everything is such crap.
Since when was $221,000 half a million dollars?
ReplyDeleteSee "the total compensation for Paul LeClerc, the library’s president and chief executive, had increased to more than $800,000, a jump of more than $221,000 from just a year earlier."
Maybe you meant "almost a quarter of a million dollars."
Yeah, I actually noticed that this morning and was just about to change it. But now I can't because your comment has exposed me, and I must live with the shame of my cursory reading of the article.
ReplyDelete..... it's still a lot.
