I don't care about yo baby!!

I'm sorry.  Call me insensitive if you wish, but I do not give two ounces of

shit about a co-workers newborn baby.  I am really happy for people with

children, especially people I know that have children.  I really care and am

interested in seeing the new pictures, etc...  But for the folks at work

that I have no vested interested in, I don't give a shit.  Family member of

friend has a baby, different story.... but these fools?  Hell no.  These

MF's come in and show off their little digital baby pictures every fucking

day.



"Curtis, come here for a second.",

"Sorry, I have to get these drawings out.",

"Oh, it will only take a second. Come here real quick!"

"I really have a lot to get done here."

"Just for a second come look at these.  I just took them this morning!"



... it reaches a point where you realize that it will always be quicker to

just go and act interested rather than keep working and be honest with them

that you don't give a shit.



I'm trying to work here ya know!??  About 5-6 times a week I get called to

one of 3 newborn parents' computer to look at the latest baby pics.  I'm

tired. I mean I'm really tired.  The baby looks the same to me as it did

last week!!!  Just hit me off like once every 6 months with the highlights

of the past few months or so and I'll be straight.  But you do not need to

call me to your desk every other freakin' day to show me another photo of

your big headed alien lookalike baby!!  I don't care!!!



Wouldn't it be nice though if the conversation went like this:



"Curtis, come here for a second."

"It's not more fucking baby pictures is it?"

"Well, yeah."

"C'mon dude.  I just saw pictures on Monday.  He hasn't grown up that much

in two days! Show me next month."

"Yeah, but look what I have him dressed up in!"

"Seriously, that kid is probably pissed off you keep playing holloween with

him.  This week he's a banana, last week he's a dragon, you're going to give

that kid some fucking identity issues."





On another complete different point, women always wonder why it is so hard

to be honest much of the time.  It's really not that we aren't honest, but

more often than not, we have a pretty good inclination that you don't want

to hear our honesty.  It would more often than not, hurt your feelings, hurt

you, and we don't want to do that.  We really don't.  So believe us when we

tell you that we lie because we don't want to hurt you.  If we were always

honest, without fear of hurting your feelings, more conversations would go

like this:



Her: "So what would you like to do tonight baby?"

Me: "Can we just stay home and fu**?  Once.  For like 10 minutes?  And you

won't get upset?"



I'm not saying it would always be like this.  But sometimes, that's how it

is.  Most of the time I don't mind showering you with love and affection,

foreplay, and working it for 40 minutes (okay, 20).  But sometimes.... you

know...



Anyway, maybe it's because I don't want kids right now.  I wouldn't mind

having kids with the right person, but I want them to pop out and be like

six already so I can start taking them to their tee ball games and shit. 

The other thing that pisses me off is that once you have kids, you start to

move up in the company.  NOW all of a sudden you're grown up, can handle

more responsibility, etc... This one guy comes in with his sonogram pictures

every other week to show off that he is about to have twins. read: "There is

no way I'll be able to work as much as I have been and as a matter of fact,

I'll need some more money to take of this huge responsibility in my life."



This is what it all REALLY means.  Now you have to buy diapers every fucking

week so you need this job much more than you did before.  Now you will be

much better at kissing the bosses ass!  Whereas, a man like me, with no life

threatening ties to Chicago, no one else to support or go home and report to

if I decide to bounce.  Therefore, these new mommy's and daddy's just keep

getting pushed up into higher roles, with more work than they can handle

because the boss knows, they'll do anything to keep their job.  They can't

afford to lose it.  Me on the other hand, if they fire me, the only person

they're pissing off is Visa and Mastercard.



You want to move up on the corporate ladder boys and girls, make some

babies.
