Vapidity Abounds...
OK.
I just can’t take it anymore….I really can’t.
I so want to scream – and as I ‘think’ these thoughts I wonder…does that make me a bad person?
The tow women I work with in the office are simply put – simple. While I am not knocking simpletons – I cringe at times when I listen to the conversations.
For instance for the past week I have had to listen to the spoiled woman I work with talk about how her ‘baby’ is going to kindergarten and she is upset with the choice of teacher. I am horrified by the things she is saying – NOT because the teacher is a bad teacher but because of the way the other mothers (her included) have become judge and jury for this poor teacher = so because this isn’t the ‘hippest’ teacher, because this isn’t the ‘perfect’ teacher – she is no on a campaign to change her son’s kindergarten teacher. She is so completely obsessed with this it is all she ever talks about….she is driving us nuts (her husband as well by her own admission).
Today she came in and began a conversation AGAIN about this. I turned away. Then she began to discuss the movie she watched the night before – her choices in TV programming always border on the banal and of course it was one of those ‘Lifetime’-let’s make-women-feel-important’-special type of movies about intrigue, murder, a woman being ‘framed for said murder and then somehow managing to become her own private detective and clearing her name (meanwhile, back in the land of ‘REALITY’ you and I all know we’d be in jail for the murder…right or wrong). So my co-worker is actually fascinated with this story and feeds into the nurses neurosis like a good slave. She says: ‘Wow that sounds like a Gershwin novel’.
A GERSHWIN NOVEL???????
Um….the American COMPOSERS George & Ira????? They wrote novels too????
*mutters something akin to obscenities*
God/dess help me….save me from stupidity. I am sorry – really I am – like I said – I just can’t take it anymore….if it makes me rude, so be it…..

We all have our pet peeves. Mine is poor spelling! Almost unforgivable in this day and age with spell check!
Please weigh in on my pet question too dear!
