Chaotic People

So, this is part of Meltdown #11. I just have way too much to say to put it into *ONE* “more” entry. Bleh.

This will most likely be offensive, contain cursing (or intended cursing), and generally be utterly bitchy. (Hey, Betty! How many of the rules is that?) If you hate that sort of thing – there’s an ‘X’ in the corner. Make use of it.

Topic #1: People who just can’t get their shit together

Have you ever had those people that were always just utterly unprepared for life at present? I’m not talking about when you are running late one day and spend three hours trying to get back onto your schedule at the office/house/base/etc. No. I’m talking about the people who have to play ‘Catch Up’ every day of thier lives – or so it seems.

You give them something to be done when you give it to them – but no. They are not ready for it because they’ve been doing something else, or they haven’t done Part X yet, or they just plain haven’t been AROUND. And so this thing you need them to do *right now*, as everyone else is doing, cannot be done because they have to ‘catch up’ on all the other shit they were supposed to have already done.

And it piles on top of itself. These people can’t do this one thing you need, so the next thing you need cannot be done either, so these people end up with three (or more) things on their plate that you need them to do for you and you are sitting there. Waiting. And waiting. And waiting. And getting frustrated and pissed off because you wanted to be done with Thing1 a week ago and Thing 2 tomorrow, but no – you have to wait on these people who just aren’t ready to take care it.

For those of you that know me well, yes, this is actually a work-related rant. I’m talking about those students who are absent all the freaking time. In class two days, out for one. In class another day, out anouther three days. They can’t take the quiz with the class because they missed the days leading up to the quiz. Then they can’t take the test because they haven’t taken the quiz yet.

GAH! I want to just be DONE with this stuff within a WEEK. No. It drags on for two, three, four weeks at a time because these children are ‘sick’ so much.

Heaven help them if they are skipping. And if they are not – for the love of God, get the fuck better. I know you can’t help it if you are sick, but Jesus Christ. How many times can a person actually BE sick in the space of a month? And not go to the damn doctor to get it FIXED?
