Default This Is Pointless And Self-indulgent@!

Hola;

It's Monday and not a very pleasant one I have to say. First thing this morning I received a mountain of work and I was accused of being rude because I was curt with our returns lady in the warehouse. In my defense, it was a busy moment and she was giving me directions that were nowhere near the response I needed. Taking orders from someone who is disregarding my requests for help is something I don't respond to or allow for so I said "thank you, Michelle" and hung up on her in the middle of her inanities. Then I get this big, whiny fucking message about how she thought that hanging up on her was very rude and all she was trying to do was help blah blah blah bitch whine snivel. Try harder. Whatever. As if kowtowing to some hormonal, middle aged peon was ever on my agenda. Making friends isn't much of a priority of mine either. And, unbelievably, for as much as I've just vented about this particular moment in my day I'm rather indifferent about it. Ain't nothing bringin' me down.
On to the point, to prove that the above precursor isn't just weightless bitching and is somewhat apropos, I was reading the new issue of Paper magazine that came to my mailbox and Glenn O'Brien has a particulary perfect article that just goes to show how we (you and I) have all the right sensibilities about how our attitudes should be wielded. Its a page opining that our world today has a vast lack of personal embarrassment and that we've tossed out our formal ways and allowed "boorishness" and "flagrant tastelessness" to flourish. Therefore, he recommends that we have the duty to eloquently express our "shock/repulsion" as well as "scorn and humiliate" these transgressors in order to shame them into a proper way of behaving. I'm paraphrasing of course, and his article is a thousand times more intelligent and interesting and self-affirming. The unfortunate side is that I can't find it printed on the internet yet. But save this e-mail for future reference - I will send you a copy even if I have to type it out.
Otherwise, I'm in a rather positive mood. And I wanted to give mad props to you for your hilarious telephone call last night. All of the phone calls I had following yours were rated accordingly. I'd say to my friends, "Yeah, this call is enjoyable but it pales in comparison to the one I received earlier from Meghan." "Your's is a six, her's was a nine." You certainly lived up to the moniker Meghan "Comic Gold" Hines last night. Anyway, I had more to write but it is time for me to leave the workplace so it'll have to be saved for another day. Besides, now I can go on a little mission to gather horse chestnuts so later I can bust out my Little Scientist's Genetics Kit and start work on my sexy, superior race of clones with a skin tone the color of horse chestnuts. Because, as everyone knows, genetically modified organisms are soon to be all the rage. And horse chestnut is the new caucasian.

Viva la revolucion;
JEFFREY
