  There should be some law that forbids stupid people from spawn offspring! All I'm asking for is people to have common sense, is that so hard to ask for? When visiting the lovely city of Des Moines, you will find loads of people that think the world stops just for them! West Des Moines, where I live is a perfect spot to look for these so called "wan be rich" who thinks everyone they pass should stop and look at them! I'm sorry but all they are is NEW MONEY! Which most of the time means they have no class or common sense! The New Rich in West Des Moines, like to show off their money with the cars they don't buy but lease and the giant houses they own in the Country Club, but with very little furniture in them. I really don't care if you drive down the street driving your giant hammer H20, here in Iowa. What I would like to know is what giant mountain or desert are you planning on driving through here in Iowa? In most cities, such as Los Angles, Chicago, Denver, and Minneapolis, there are a group of people you can really afford to buy these expensive luxury cars like a hammer or jag, but not here in Des Moines, Iowa!
I know I can count on one hand a very very small group of Iowans who can afford to purchase these expansive material things. One these Iowans in my dream is my future husband, his name is Robert Gallery, who this fall who can watch him play for the Oakland Raiders! West Des Moines, is truly a very nice area to live in. I do really love living on this part of town, but some of my "neighbors" need to get a brain along with giving their kids one too!
I was raised by my mom and grandma, so I didn't have an easy childhood, like most of these spoiled brats do here! Yes, I too was spoiled but I was the only grandchild. Even though I was spoiled all through my childhood, I was also told to get a job at 16 and work hard at it regardless of what it was. I worked hard and still do for that paycheck. Kids here they "work" but not really, because they know Daddy will give me money regardless if "I work or not. " Another thing is kids have no discipline! Giving a child "time out" does not work! Timmy you do that again you get a time out! What does that teach a child? I'm sorry, but if I acted up I got one warning if that even, but I got the back of my mom's hand on the back of my butt. But, God for bid now we can't do that, because people will say that's child abuse! I'm sorry but spanking your child who misbehaves is not child abuse. If you spank so hard that your child comes out of his shoes or leaves a hand print on the child's butt, then yes that is child abuse. Another thing during my summer vacation from College I use to work at Target, I hated hearing kids screaming to get their way and having the parent say, "Now Susie, if you keep this up we are going home!
" You know darn well, Susie wants to go home and not be out shopping. Children need discipline and spanking works. By God, I learned not to push my mom's buttons, or the fear of God would be shown. I think its fine to spoil your kids to extent but teach them manners and working at a minimum wage job while in school teaches them to value the paycheck that they are working for.
Also, give them a work ethic. Some of the people I work with, who are my age don't have that. They come and go whenever they want and for some odd reason get ahead at ING. I work my ass off, I work tons of overtime and yet the only one who says thank you to me for doing this is my Senior Coordinator. My head boss, her office is right next to my desk, I very rarely her, "Thank you, Whitney for all you hard work. " My normal working hours are from 8-5, I get to work about 7:15 or 7:30 and stay until 5:30 or later, for some reason my services are never rewarded.
I guess from watching other coworkers of mine at ING, I should come in late and leave for a two hour lunch, then maybe call in a day after my birthday saying I can't come in cause I have a hangover. But if my boss was a man I should just start going out with him and be put on all of our departments committees, just because I'm screwing the boss!
I thought when working for any major company that its frowned on for sleeping with the boss? One would thing this was not acceptable but who am I? My head boss for my department is very loud! Granted my voice does carry and I'm well aware of that, but when your boss walks so loud that it sounds like a heard of elephants stampeding around 3rd floor that you kind of wonder. I have never had a boss that knew absolutely nothing about what I do in her department. She is more worried about her and the life side of our department then anything else!
When she steps off the elevator she screams "Chuck! " She sends everyone in my group e-mails saying "Please keep your voices down and cut down the socializing! " I'm sorry you point one figure at me there are three pointing right back at you! She sends us e-mails at 3 in the morning! She always looks like she pissed of at the world, and she loves to flirt with every guy on our floor! No wonder why she still isn't married or has a boy friend she intimidates everyone! She hates getting phone calls from the agents out in the field who may have issues that I myself can not answer or can but they don't like my answer to give them.
Well recently I received a phone call from an agent out in California who wished to speak with my head boss, not knowing that she was standing near my desk, I told the agent that she was in a meeting and advised him to leave a message in her phone mail box. Before the agent could say another word, you hear Amy say, "Way to go Whitney, great thinking to tell the agent that I'm in a meeting! " Amy as a loud voice and the agent heard her scream that in the background. So thank God I'm a PR major when the agent said to me, "Yes, I guess I will leave her a massage if she is in a so-called meeting. " I was like yes sir she is indeed in a meeting. Until, next time when I feel like venting yet again!
