over controlling, cold shoulder type of people

OK so it has been a while but with me and this blog it’s not really that uncommon. But I will give everyone an update as to what has been going on with me as of recent. Well after moving to Oregon I got what seemed like a great job for the summer, and it’s the type of work I like and want to be doing. So it sounds like a dream come true, but it has a huge major downfall… living with the people I work with! Now there have been some jobs where I could’ve totally lived with my co-workers this is not one of those jobs.

My partner; the one who I work with every day; drives me off the wall insane! The first two weeks of work were great, but after that it has steadily gone downhill and is hovering about the point where one of us is going to say something to the other and I'm sure there will be a few words exchanged. Now I’ll give you a bit of a run through of what my job entails… Every morning we wake up when most living things are still sleeping, we gear up and jump in the truck and drive into the woods to a predetermined location to look and listen for birds. Now the first two weeks were cool, while driving in the truck we would swap stories and just give general small talk. After that something happened, what it was I have no idea but it happened. I come back from a weekend at home and all of a sudden there no more talking, no more radio in the truck, no more hiking together, were now like two secret service officers; just driving, no talking, looking forward, get the mission done. So I try and make small talk and only get one word answers in return, clearly something has happened, but I figure maybe she’s tired of just having a bad day. Well that bad day turned into a bad 2 months! Imagine having to drive in a car with someone for 2+ hours a day without talking. So still to this point in time I have no idea what happened to make her go all “oddjob” on me but whatever it’s fine because now there is a mutual dislike between the two of us.

And then she would start nitpicking the things I did (mind you she is in no way my supervisor, and for the most part we are equals, even though I'm sure I get paid more) like going ‘too fast’ on the mountain roads; I'm only going 20-25, while she goes 10-15! I’m sorry we are not rock crawling here! It’s just a fucking gravel road! 25 is the recommended speed so I'm not going to stop ‘speeding’. She also critiques my use of the CB radio, my hiking times, and request that I get her permission before leaving to check out a site for the following day! Yah fat chance in hell that will happen, we both came here to recon sites, you didn’t ask me if you could so I'm not going to ask you.

So basically with this chick something changed, and I doubt it was something I did, because when I don’t like you or I give you a reason to not like me I know about it because in most cases it was intentional. This case was not, it was definitely not my intention to make my living situation a living hell hole. And it’s not just us here in this house, there are two other guys whom she regularly has conversations with and jokes with and everything else that people living together should be able to do, so clearly it’s just me. And I get along fine with the other guys mostly just the younger one but the old guy as well, just not as much. But for the most part i don't even feel welcome in this house, and I'm pretty sure that no one here does, once we get home from the woods, we make some food and then go and sit by our selves in our rooms. So basically if you ever get a job with shared housing and you think “Wow this is going to be sweet living with people who have similar interest to mine!” just pause for a second and think back to this blog, now I'm not saying that it’s going to be like this every time but just be ready for the over controlling, cold shoulder type of people who won’t give a valid reason for their loathing of you. And it’s to these people I say FUCK YOU! Chillax, it’s not all about you and it probably never will be!

Also is you enjoy reading these updates (as infrequent ass they may be) I urge you to check out “Kates Dates” a fellow blogger who dives deep into the horrible life of dating after divorce.

Bob Parson and Godaddy.com the elephant killing scumbags

Ok so it has indeed been a while since my last posting but I have just not seen anything worth posting about really. But this morning I saw an article about GoDaddy.com’s (yah the video from the super bowl where Danica Patrick’s tits almost fall out of her shirt) CEO going on safari. And Fine whatever I’m a hunter I spend countless hours in the woods by myself, in freezing temps waiting for a deer to come walking by, but so far I have not actually made a kill, though I have had deer in front of me. But what I do and what he has done is HUGELY different. He went on an African safari to hunt an elephant! No the way he justifies this is by hunting a problem elephant, one that have been wreaking havoc on some local farms. And from any hunters perspective removal of a problem animal is usually deemed okay, and the meat from this animal would then go to the local villagers to eat. But come on! It’s a FUCKING ELEPHANT!! Who in their right mind shoots an elephant now-a-days?! You can’t tell me that someone going on one of these hunts doesn’t know that the elephant is threatened species (listed as ‘vulnerable’ by Wikipedia) I hope that the people that go on these hunts have kids so when they go home they can say “hey kids I just shot Babar!” (Dumbo, or the elephant from jungle book, etc.).

So the worst part of this douche bags safari hunt is that he recorded the whole thing with a film crew. Showing him helping the farmers. And after the kill showing the hungry villagers tearing the flesh off the carcass and having things eventually turn into an angry mob, mean while all of the villagers also got nice new godaddy.com hats to wear! Ok Bob Parsons you might look like a hero to the hungry African villagers but to the rest of the world you look like a Giant Fucking Ass Hole… wait can you be something worse than that?? And apparently Bobby does this just about every year and takes more than one elephant per trip! Now I did a bit of research on the interwebs looking for African safaris and I found few; mostly hunting for warthogs, or large plains creatures like gazelles and shit. But there are some that have elephant, lion, leopard, Hippopotamus, baboon, and Ostrich listed as huntable species! Now while not all of these are listed as threatened species, the first four are and should not even be on any hunting list. Now maybe this is striking my attention more fully because I have been volunteering at a zoo where my fiancé works with lions, cheetahs, elephants, hippos and other creatures of the sort. And I have been able to get up close and personal with a lot of these animals and I have learned a ton of information on why these animals are dropping in numbers and what people like my fiancé and her coworkers are doing to help protect these species. Now I'm not sure how these places get around the threatened status of these animals but I'm sure they can afford some good lawyers with hunts starting at $13,000 - $27,600 which must be paid in cash only with a half down nonrefundable deposit. But then I guess the people who can afford this can also afford not to care because the people who do care you put that $27,000 towards protecting these animals. Any one in mind that that wants to shoot and kill a big cat or for that matter any large predator (Wolf, Mountain Lion, Coyote, Lion, Tiger, etc.) should do some research and learn about these animals beforehand, this isn't the 1950’s anymore! The saying “no wolves means more deer” just doesn’t make any sense, you remove the predators and their prey animals are going to run rampant destroying everything in sight; forest growth, peoples nicely landscaped yards, they will be running into the streets causing more and more traffic accidents. And then the populations will start to decrease due to not enough food to handle all of these animals and the ones you will see will be the sick ones. Predators are here for a reason! But anyone who could morally shoot an elephant, a beloved animal to all people, is just downright scum.

Bob Parson is scum and has some real mix morals swimming around in his head. On his personal video blog he lists all the charities he donates to, and it’s a real nice list to, and I appreciate people who donate to charities. But looking at this recent event I'm sure that the human society and the Phoenix zoo would love to know more about his elephant hunts, because those are 2 of the charities that he has donated too. The Phoenix Zoo I'm sure wouldn’t be too thrilled about his elephant hunts, they used to be home to Ruby the elephant, an elephant who painted beautiful pictures with colored brushes that helped raise over $200,000 for the zoo and elephant conservation! Ruby unfortunately died of birth complications in 1997. And if any of you are fans of the show ‘the biggest loser’ you may know that Jillian Michaels is now one of the newest GoDaddy.com girls. Jillian Michaels is also a vegan to protest the inhumane slaughter of the animal meats industries, but I'm sure she would be fine with her new boss shooting an elephant, right? Now for those who have been reading this long and waiting for me to post the link to the video here it is on there you can learn different ways to boycott godaddy.com and help elephant conservation.
So today I give a big FUCK YOU to Bob Parson and Godaddy.com elephant killing scumbags; I hear there are some problem pandas in china that could use your attention you sick fuck.
