Dear Miss Busypants,
Please refrain from grunting an unprovoked “Morning,” at me, as you walk past. If I’d spoken to you first, I could perhaps understand why you’d respond as if you were irritated, or as if you couldn’t be bothered. But I didn’t. I was sitting at my desk, minding my own business, so why the hell did you have to say anything, if it was going to be a grumpy-assed grumble in my general direction? You can take your cranky “Morning” and piss off.
Alsotoo, would you like to talk about stress? The Indiana house and senate are required to pass a budget by midnight TONIGHT, otherwise, the state government will shut down. I could come in to work tomorrow to find out that I don’t have a job, so if anyone has something to be grumpy about, it’s me. Not, Miss Busypants McGrumpersons. She has made it clear, every time someone pisses her off, that she could retire at any time. Must be nice.
Oh, and the best part about this stupid budget nonsense? The state house and senate had come to a tentative compromise about the budget IN APRIL. Governor Daniels trashed it, by demanding that funding for the most at-risk public schools be cut. Yeah. That would be the same Mitch Daniels who was director of the Office of Management and Budget, under BushCo II. You remember, the guy who promised that the Iraq war would cost only $50-60 billion? The same war that has, to date, cost approximately $682 billion. And we elected this bozo as governor twice! What the hell is wrong with people in my state?
