The ignorance and brattishness of some people

Have you ever gotten on the forums on Craigslist? I think I never will again. Why is it that I never realized how incredibly stupid some people can be on the subject of God? There are people who are absolutely certain that He doesn't exist and there are people who are absolutely certain that He does. I honestly don't really care if you have one opinion of the other, as long as you don't try to foist it into me. But that seems to be exactly what people are doing. Trying to foist. Every single comment that I read written by someone who did not believe in God was something to the effect of "Anyone who believes in God is ignorant and stupid" They used several different versions of said phrase, but it all added up to the same thing. Sadly enough, most of the comments written by people who do believe in God were like that, only the opposite, obviously. Why are people so immature about this subject? I tried to put in my two cents, but I doubt it meant anything. *shakes head* Why can't we all just accept each other and move on with our lives?

Poor Laptop!

So my laptop cord stopped working. So I stopped being able to charge my laptop. So I'm officially without a laptop. Which was fairly annoying because that meant that I had to use the family's computer for the internet and I have a grand total of NONE of my work on it. So while I could work on Portals online on it and see people's input, I couldn't go directly to my version on Wordperfect and change it there. It was really annoying. So now I've got my desktop re-set up and connected to the internet. But this computer is SO slow and my connection is as well and it's about to drive me nuts! I can't wait until next week when the cord my brother bought for me comes. That was very nice of him. I couldn't have afforded it for a while. This way, I'll have it and then I can pay him back when I get my next paycheck. Yayness and stuff!
So, currently about 1/3 of my room is clean. And the other 2/3 is a pigsty! I really do need to clean it. That just shows how thoroughly lazy I am! It's absolutely beginning to drive me nuts, though, so It will likely get cleaned sooner rather than later. I'm starting to think I need to put my bed slightly higher, however, since I don't have enough room under there. Yes, for those wondering, I'm pretty sure I can go higher. Watch me! It will be interesting to see everyone's reactions when they try to get up onto it. :D

New Job

So, I'm very much enjoying my job. I drive people around all morning and get to listen to them tell me about their lives while I'm at it. Today we were listening to some Hindi music I put on, and one of the residents told me about a friend of hers that was a belly dancer. I also learned that another resident's daughter lived in India for a while there and now lives in Singapore. They also all tease me mercilessly. :D I tease them right back, of course, so we get along great. Eventually, I will know everyone's names but it is going to take a while, and I probably won't ever know the ones that don't ride the bus on a regular basis. There are at least fifty residents in that home. Give me time.
In the meantime, it feels amazing to finally have a smile on my face when I leave work. I walked home from work one day (my car's almost out of gas), and I was slightly amazed at how happy I was. There haven't been a lot of jobs in my life that I've felt this good about when leaving. I even like my bosses. They're currently on a cruise. (Jealous!)
Just thought I'd throw this out as an update to my life. Good times.
