Just a Little Venting

When did we become a society of It’s not my fault and What can you do for me? When did people stop taking responsibility for their own actions? I am so sick of these clowns calling the police to solve their problems for them. They want us to raise their children, yell at their neighbors, find their car when their loser sister trades it for crack, take their husband away (not arrest, mind you) when he’s been beating on her for the umpteenth time, find them someplace to stay when their baby daddy kicked them to the curb, the list just goes on and on. Since I’ve been a dispatcher (almost 9 years) I’ve become so cynical and untrusting of people. I think everyone is lying or guilty or not to be trusted, or at the very least, everyone is scheming to screw somebody else out of something. Everyone is so worried about being politically correct and not offending anyone’s sensitive nature that people have just taken for granted the fact that society now owes them something. Just once I’d like a day without 911 calls for stupid shit. I’d like to see someone be an adult and take responsibility for themselves. Then again, these losers are ensuring that my dog has a steady supply of Kibbles n Bits.

On a more positive note...our front porch is finally done. Almost. It is now in the "few days for setting" phase. Hopefully the "reattach the awning and replace the really heavy steps"phase will take place this weekend.
