| Poor spelling and poor grammar annoy me. One that I see frequently is "strictly" spelled "strickly". Usually this is on an improvised "Strictly No Parking" sign.

It is like there is some lingering impression of the story which remains running in my mind for a while. A... |

| Does anyone else have any issues like this where someone cannot see your point of view? ALL the time. Maybe it is time to start looking for somewhere else to work.

| A few years ago I quit my job as a social worker... who knows why I ever thought that would be the job for me. I became a bus driver. It was the best job. Being pleasant to passengers for 5 seconds as they get on is easy. 20% of the time you're running empty to the next terminal. If you have a bad t... |
