How to be a douche

Step 1) Acquire a job as a "Social Media Guy" (yea, you read that right...and we wonder why our country has such a defecit)
Step 2)When said newspaper has a silly, fun blog on strange food and someone (keeping with the theme of "silly" and "fun") posts a comment you deem vulgar, report offender's joke to his/her job
Step 3)Post a follow-up blog telling everyone about your awesome work
Step 4) Get your ass chewed on by commenters who disagree
Step 5) Close commenting on the site to make sure you don't get more butt-hurt than you already are

Yes, Kurt Greenbaum, you're a douche. Congratulations on using the job of a "reporter" (quotes because I can't air-quote online) to sanction people's freedom of speech.

Thoughts from my desk

I'm starting to really dislike a lot of the people I work with. Ok, so I'm not really "starting" per se, but my dislike is growing at an alarming rate. And this isn't a tale of personality differences. I accept that there see people I'm not going to get along with. Rather, this is about people who can't act their age.

People are childish and ignorant. One person is only happy when someone is getting in trouble; another can only function when everyone knows how dysfunctional her life (both personal and professional) is; others gossip like they're still in high school.

I don't understand why everyone wants life to be miserable. Why do they have to act this way?
